Latest Aphpkb Development News

2010-11-25T18:07:00.000-08:00

This is what we're currently working on;

MySQL
Updating scripts using the older mysql references with the newer mysql.class.php - admitedly this has been a long time coming, we're hoping to make some major changes to have all the scripts using the mysql class.

Authentication
Adding Email confirmation for author registrations and password resets.

Translation
Currently exploring translation options as well as translator options. A majority of down-stream clients are in non-English speaking countries and multi-language support will reflect a more international Aphpkb.

Email to Article
This is something I've been tossing around in my head for a while, due in part to working at a company which focuses on Email solutions (Atmail). A script will access an Email mailbox, verify the author's email and insert into the database ready for confirmation from the author, when confirmed via a link sent by email the article is then ready for admin approval.

We hope to release some BETA candidates in the near future, for that to happen we'll want to improve the installation and include upgrade options.

Setting up a PHP development environment on Sabayon 4.2

2009-09-20T00:00:00.000-07:00

Most of the steps I've taken to setup a PHP development environment on Sabayon will work on other distributions, you will need to find out how to install applications (such as from a repository for your particular choice of distribution). I have chosen to add Apachefriend's XAMPP for Linux and the Scintilla Editor (SciTE), there are other Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP projects you can use as well as a plethora of editors which you can try out to find the best editor for you. These are my personal choice for quick setup/install and configuration not to mention the ability to quickly migrate to another platform and the ease of backing up and restore.

Step 1: Download and Install XAMPP for Linux.

This is an easy step, simply download the tarball from apachefriends.org - for consistency I install XAMPP for Linux in the /opt/ directory - for specific instructions on installing XAMPP or any other LAMP project, you can find instructions included on the project's website and in the tarball.

Once installed, I like to add a 'www' in my Desktop folder to the freshly installed htdocs folder:

# ln -s /opt/lampp/htdocs /home/andrew/Desktop/www

Also setting the permissions for the link (if the system allows)

# cd /home/username/Desktop
# chown -h nobody:username ./www

As well as the permissions for the htdocs directory itself - for multiple development users you can add them to a group and use that instead of the single username for the group ownership

# cd /opt/lampp/
# chown nobody:username ./htdocs

I also like to setup my system with 'dev' as the hostname, if you want to do this you can append 'dev' (or anything else you would like to use for the hostname) to the hostnames in the /etc/hosts file. I like to do this to shorten the url: http://dev/projectname rather than http://localhost/projectname.

Step 2: Install and configure editor

I'm fairly keen on the Scintilla Editor (SciTE), it has been the best cross-platform editor I have used for development with PHP. In Linux I usually pick up SciTE from the repository (usually under the development group), for Windows I download from the website directly: http://www.scintilla.org/

After installing, I like to edit the SciTEGlobal.properties file, when installed in Sabayon 4.2, this is located in /usr/share/scite/ - to enable line numbers and the toolbar (this only involves uncommenting the appropriate line).

Step 3: Develop!

I'm lucky in this regard, I have a project I am currently working on - if you're new to PHP you might like to look at some working open source code - in my humble opinion this is the best way of learning new ways of doing things with PHP. I use svn to do a checkout of my latest revision:

$ cd /home/username/Desktop/www
$ svn co https://aphpkb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/aphpkb aphpkb

There are many great projects to learn from and there is no better time to get into PHP!

Trying out a new IDE, Aphpkb Status and future ideas

2009-03-23T04:29:00.000-07:00

Dev-PHP Project Page

Even in a small project like Aphpkb there are times in which organising and searching multiple files in a project can be handy, especially for wholesale changes, such as the change of a variable used in a group of scripts (for example: $fileid).

This week I am trying out Dev-PHP and so far I have been impressed by the IDE's features and ease of use - I am hoping to make a full change to the mysql class for the mysql connections - and I've felt I'd need more than an editor for the task - if only for the task feature to keep track of my changes.

Long time readers might wonder if I might be giving up on SciTE, the scintilla editor - the answer is a definite 'nope' - it's still my favourite - but I like to keep an 'open mind' and increasing my tools will hopefully make me more versatile and ultimately more efficient.

Aphpkb Status

I am currently finalising 0.93.6 - with a fix for deleting pending articles - there have been some standing issues with the install wizard with some unexpected results if the database has not been created prior to registering the admin account - I maybe using more emphasis in the readme and step 5 pages.

Ideas

* some form of captcha on author registration
* simpler css layout/s
* follow-up articles (link from article view)

If you have any other ideas for Aphpkb, please let us know: feedback@aphpkb.org

Here's a wrap-up of where I've been at:

Aphpkb - released aphpkb-0.92.5 over the weekend - this fixed quite a few bugs which were introduced when I changed the admin authentication from PHP-AUTH to the Author's table, I am pleased to say these have been resolved and the long standing issue of using Aphpkb where PHP_AUTH is unavailable is now done and complete. IIS users might find using Aphpkb much easier now, but I am still keeping Apache as the recommended webserver with Aphpkb because even though I have a passing familiarity with IIS, I can support Apache better.
