2007-05-15 - Etomite Prelude 0.6.1.4 Released

2007-05-14
Ralph
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_settings.dynamic.action.php for better EditArea functionality

Nalagar
[*] Modified manager/actions/static/files.static.action.php and manager/includes/lang/english.inc.php. Added translation for creation of new directories.
[*] Modified manager/media/edit_area/reg_syntax/html.js. Added html syntax highlighting for Etomite's snippets, chunks, attributes and settings tags.
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_htmlsnippet.dynamic.action.php. EditArea's highlighting scheme is now based on the chunk's name (.js for javascript etc).

2007-05-13
Nalagar
[*] Modified manager/media/edit_area/reg_syntax/html.js to improve syntax highlighting for html. Now a single quote (') within a page doesn't stop the highlighting. Highlighting was buggy for snippets with arguments, fixed.

2007-05-11
Nalagar
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php. Made the highlighting in EditArea match the selected content type. Fixed bug that caused EditArea to be initiated when it shouldn't. Made the EditArea contain a space if a new document is created (otherwise it can be very difficult to set focus). Fixed layout bug when editing webblinks in IE7.

2007-05-09
Nalagar
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php to fix the "submitForm not set" bug. The bug occurred if we used RTE and disabled the richtext option.
[*] Added EditArea integration to manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php. Initial scroll position set to the top.
[*] Modified manager/actions/static/files.static.action.php. EditArea's initial scroll position is now set to the top.
[*] Modified manager/actions/static/site_logging.static.action.php for better layout in IE.
[*] Removed ending < /body >< /html > tags from manager/includes/header.inc.php. They used to appear twice on all manager pages.
[*] Added minor bug fix in manager/frames/scriptaculous/dragsort_etomite.js.
[*] Added translations for the whole menu tree and duplicated aliases. Modified files: manager/frames/scriptaculous/dragsort_etomite.js, manager/frames/3.php, manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php and manager/includes/lang/english.inc.php.

2007-05-07
Nalagar
[*] Modified manager/includes/header.inc.php so that doctype is xhtml where IE7 and RTE are used. Now RTE works ok in IE 7.
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php so that the layout looks ok in IE7 when using the xhtml doctype. If the client use IE 7, the width of the tab pages gets dynamicly defined in pixels by the resizer() js function.

2007-05-04
Ralph
[*] Modified index.php putIntTableRow() and updIntTableRows() API functions to include the $addPrefix flag that was previously added to getIntTableRows().

[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_htmlsnippet.dynamic.action.php to get persistant EditArea/textarea scroll and cursor positions if the "continue editing after saving" option is checked. Default scroll and cursor position is now set to the top when using EditArea.
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_snippet.dynamic.action.php to get persistant EditArea/textarea scroll and cursor positions if the "continue editing after saving" option is checked. Default scroll and cursor position is now set to the top when using EditArea.
[*] Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_template.dynamic.action.php to get persistant EditArea/textarea scroll and cursor positions if the "continue editing after saving" option is checked. Default scroll and cursor position is now set to the top when using EditArea.

2007-05-03
Ralph
[*] Fixed addNotice() bug in etomite class so it properly inserts the notice when using uppercase < /BODY > tag
[*] Created install/0614_db_patches.php file which combines the following:
[+] Changes some int() columns to bigint() in the logging tables to resolve 64-bit server problems
[+] Removal of the redundant `id` index for site_content
[+] Adds the new showinmenu column to site_content
[+] Includes old alter_site_content.php code for adding `authenticate` column

2007-04-06
Ralph
Modified all of the SQL files to use bigint() where logging data includes crc32() data to account for potential 64bit problems and added showinmenu column into the site_content table. Also modified the data INSERT commands to reflect the additional column.

2007-04-04
Dean
Removed iBrowser, as it's a security hole - allows for anyone outside of Etomite to delete images from the site, and potentially upload corrupted/security risk ones.

Randy
Changed file editor to only editor or viewer is visible to provide more space
Added editarea syntax highlighting to the file editor in the file manager
Added path translation so windows will work correctly with file editor
Added file type detection in file editor to use correct hightlighting
Added automagic textarea resize js code so editor takes all available space
Added JS necessary to allow template editor and content editors to save documents properly

(Thanks to everyone who helped with testing and fixes)

manager/includes/accesscontrol.inc.php
We now send the realm constant IN_ETOMITE_SYSTEM and session_id() to captchaCode.php
More compact licensing related text
Added nextfield fix From: http://www.etomite.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6287

manager/includes/captchaCode.php and captchaClass.php
Extensive changes. $realm and $sessid are extracted from $_GET within captchaCode.php. Database settings from config.inc.php are now sent to VeriWord in captchaClass.php via captchaCode.php for better database access implementation.

manager/includes/config.inc.php
Major changes. The configuration file now has the ability for custom sessions handling which includes custom session.save_path, session.cookie_path, session.cookie_lifetime, and session.gc_maxlifetime.

inatall/installNewDB.php
The installer now reads a config.inc.php template file and populates the placeholders with the correct values rather than having the code embedded within the installer file itself which allows for much easier maintenance.

manager/processors/move_document.processor.php
bug fix - document moved to subfolder of itself
From: http://www.etomite.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6191
You can no longer corrupt your document tree by assigning a documents parent to be one of its children.

  • Added syncsite() function to the API, called using $etomite->syncsite();, which clears and rebuilds the site cache.
  • Modified checkPermissions() for proper visitor permissions checks. See source for additional info.
  • Not documented previously: additional API functions intTableExists($table) and extTableExists($table) for testing to see if a database table exists.
  • Modified getIntTableRows() and getExtTableRows() to have a $push variable parameter. $push = ( true = [default] array_push results into a multi-demensional array | false = return MySQL resultset )
  • Modified getIntTableRows() to include $addPrefix = whether to check for and/or add $this->dbConfig['table_prefix'] to the table name. (true=default | false)

2006-04-13

  • Etomite Prelude Final released

2006-04-12

  • Finalized which resources would be included in the Final release. Due to the increased package size with the newly included resources only the TinyMCE editor will be included in the download. FCKeditor and Xinha will be available for download and will work without modifications as add-in resources. FCKeditor integration is still somewhat limited due to inherent limitations of the package itself.

2006-04-[09-11]

  • Modified the installer to reflect recent changes. Tested the installer to assure proper functionality.
  • Modified the etomite.sql file to include the most recent resource additions. Testing, testing, and more testing.

2006-04-08

  • Made further modifications to the makeURL() API function by reinstating the ability to send an alias to the function and also adding suffixes to friendly aliases.
  • Created a DB upgrade script, alter_site_content.php, which adds a new field, authenticate, into existing databases to take advantage of the new capabilities added into Etomite Prelude Final.
  • Added three new $etomite->config[] variables (absolute_base_path, relative_base_path, www_base_path) which, as their names suggest, offer pre-calculated paths for use in snippets.
  • Modified save_settings.processor.php to disable friendly URL aliases when friendly URL's are disabled.

2006-04-07

  • Final testing and modifications to all resources, with Lloyds help, which will be included in Etomite 0.6.1 Final.

2006-04-06

  • Modifed the userLogin() API function for more predictable results over a broader range of uses.
  • Made modificiations to the CaptchaCode functionality for improved performance.

2006-04-05

  • Added additonal code into the parser, index.php, visitor authentication checking so that a custom permission denied message can be displayed in place of the default system-wide plain text message.
  • Added a textarea in manager/actions/mutate_settings.dynamic.action.php for entry of this custom message which can also contain HTML and/or Javascript code. Additional entries were also added to manager/includes/lang/english.inc.php to support this feature.

2006-04-04

  • Modified userLogout() API function for more predictable performance. Previous logic did not account for a broad enough range of parameter possibilities which could lead to unexpected results.

2006-04-03

  • The following API functions were added to allow use of the CaptchaCode functionality that is already available for Etomite Manager logins. Developers now have their option of Captcha technologies, CaptchaNumbers or CaptchaCodes.
  • getCaptchaCode($alt='CaptchaCode', $title='Security Code', $width="148", $height="80")
  • validCaptchaCode($captchaCode) - returns true or false

2006-04-[01-02]

  • The following changes have been made to allow for site visitor permissions authentication which, essentially, allows Etomite to be used to develop community portal systems. The necessary tools are now in place. Granted, I did state previously that I wouldn't be making any changes to the database structure, but the added benefits of adding one simple toggle flag far outweighed any previous agruments.
  • [`authenticate` int(1) NOT NULL default '0'] to the site_content table
  • code for caching authenticate value to manager/processors/cache_sync.class.processor.php
  • authentication checking to executeParser() function in index.php
  • authentication option code to manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php
  • code saving authentication changes to manager/processors/save_content.processor.php
  • authentication input field label text and help text into manager/includes/lang/english.inc.php
  • code for enabling visitor document permissions to manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_settings.dynamic.action.php

2006-03-19

  • Modified manager/includes/accesscontrol.inc.php to check for proper permissions before allowing users to login to the Etomite manager interface. If the user role setting "Request manager frames" is unchecked any users assigned to this role will not be allowed access and will receive an error alert.
  • Modified manager/processors/save_role.processor.php for better handling of group role settings record saves.

2006-03-17

  • Modified the index.php parser file for greater data handling flexibility. Added $push=true to both the getIntTableRows() and getExtTableRows() extended API database functions. Leaving $push=true retains backward compatibility by performing an array_push() on all rows and returns them as a multi-dimensional array. Changing to $push=false will force the functions to return raw MySQL resultsets without additional processing so that conventional resultset handling can be performed. This added feature allows these functions to be more easily retrofitted in place of other query functions such as dbQuery() or any other of the other query functions.

2006-03-16

  • Modified insertId($rs) and affectedRows($rs) API functions to perform as intended rather than causing parser errors when called.

2006-03-15

  • Modified mergeCodeVariables() API function for better handling of alternating row styles. Data can now be sent to the function a row at a time and still have the rows style alternate. Before this fix only complete resultsets sent to the function would have alternating styles.

2006-02-28

  • Corrected previously modified manager/frames/3.php document tree window code so the trash can properly displays whether it contains deleted items or not... Recent modifications had caused the recycle bin to falsely show as always being empty...

2006-02-26

  • Modified manager/actions/static/logging.static.action.php to include a button to allow the manager audit trail table to be emptied without the need to generate a report in order to access the old prompt. The old text based link was removed from the language file and button text and a confirmation alert popup prompt was added.
  • Modified manager/actions/static/site_logging.static.action.php to include a button to allow the visitor statistics logging tables to be emptied. Button text and a confirmation alert popup prompt were also added to the language file.
  • Created the /manager/processors/empty_visitor_logs.processor.php script which performs the truncate operation on the appropriate logging tables.
  • Added code to manager/index.php so that action code index.php?a=56 activates the /manager/processors/empty_visitor_logs.processor.php script.
  • Modified index.php script to correct a minor error which could cause cached pages to not switch to using the Printable Page template depending on previous operations.

2006-02-21

  • Added Enable Previews option to the site configuration module so previews can be disabled for faster module load times as well as for sites where previews within the module creates problems.

2006-02-17 thru 2006-02-20

  • Developed a form class for Etomite which allows the use of object oriented code to create form elements, labels, and Tigra Form Validation code. Elements are stored in objects and/or variables which can later be inserted into template code. This class allows for the separation of form logic from form presentation.

2006-02-12

  • Modified checkPublishStatus() function to properly publish and unpublish documents without the need to clear the site cache.
  • Modified visitor logging by moving the log() code to manager/includes/visitor_logging.inc.php and adding the $etomite->useVisitorLogging system variable. Turning off logging can save rendering times by approximately 20%.

2006-02-02 thru 2006-02-11

  • Testing, testing, and more testing on multiple server platforms...

2006-01-30

  • Modified the checkPermissions() API function to be a converted version of the same code that the manager uses which further enhances permissions checking to a document level.
  • Converted the original checkPermissions() function to be checkUserRole().
  • Modified the outputContent() function for better handling of headers which should resolve several PHP 5 issues.
  • Minor modifications were made to the manager/includes/config.inc.php file for proper operation without throwing unseen PHP warnings.

2006-01-29

  • Modified the getKeywords() API function to use $this->documentIdentifier instead of $this->documentObject['id'] for proper functionality with cached documents.
  • Modified manager/processors/cache_sync.class.processor.php to store document parent id's and getSettings() for retrieval via $this->parents[$this->documentIdentifier] for use in snippets as well as by the modified getParent() function.
  • Modified the getParent() API function to use $this->documentIdentifier instead of $this->documentObject['id'] for proper functionality with cached documents.

2006-01-28

  • Modified makeURL() API function to include changes suggested by mikef related to how URL args are appended.
  • Streamlined the cleanDocumentIdentifier() function for better performance. Also added the capability for a numeric value of "404" to be used for the sites error_page only. The use of numeric values for any other pages could result in redirect errors.

2006-01-26

  • Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_templates.dynamic.action.php to display the template id in the header bar.
  • Modified manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php for proper integration of FCKeditor based on the guide provided by pelleke.
  • Modified the index.php file to use the correct revision of the getParent() API function.
  • Modified the index.php file so numeric value can be used in aliases without receiving a redirect timeout. The practice of using numeric friendly aliases without using a suffix could possibly lead to identification problems due to possible confusion between a numeric id along with an alias from another document having the same numeric value.

2006-01-22

  • Removed encrypted potential exploit code from the following files:
  • crypt.class.inc.php,
  • login.processor.inc.php,
  • log.class.inc.php,
  • quotes_stripper.inc.php,
  • settings.inc.php,
  • save_content.processor.inc.php,
  • save_snippet.processor.inc.php
  • Modified code modules so a page can be previewed when the site status is set to offline.

2006-01-20

  • Fixed bug that caused a blank page to be returned if a non-existent tamplate was requested using ?tpl=<##>.
  • Fixed bug which would cause a "headers already sent" error when setting the error page to the same id as the site start page.
  • Modified manager/actions/dynamic/resources.dynamic.action.php file so that template id's are displayed.

2006-01-19

  • Debugged several member installations which mainly had configuration or upload issues.

2006-01-18

  • Fixed manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_content.dynamic.action.php for proper data loading with HTMLArea and FCKeditor
  • Removed extra blockLogging() check from index.php as reported by mikef

2006-01-17

  • Fixed problem with sendRedirect() causing 404 errors with web links.
  • Fixed manager/includes/captchanumbers/captchaNumber.php file to properly receive and use custom result lengths and assign the resulting value to the correct session variable.
  • Fixed manager/media/xinha/plugins/ImageManager/config.inc.php file to properly point to the directory assigned in the Etomite configurations Image Manager settings.
  • Fixed manager/frames/3.php to guarantee removal of the "Loading document tree" message upon completion.
  • Fixed index.php bug in getParent() to properly return parent information for any document id passed.
  • Fixed index.php bug in clearCache() to properly delete all currently cached pages from assets/cache/ regardless of the Etomite installation path.
