Settings not saving
« on: February 12, 2006, 07:52:07 PM »

Hi Chris,

Hopefully a simple one for you. My ftp path savings won't save.

My required string is: public_html/members/images/stories
That validates ok.

Whether I hit SAVE or SAVE AND EXIT, the result is the same. If I immediately go back in, the setting for that parameter is your Default Setting.

Also, whereas I used to be able to update an article, I no longer can. Get the Null message. Since the login validates, I have no idea why this would be happening.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news....

Best,
Merlin

Merlin,
  Wow!! Can't believe I missed that.  I have corrected the problems and reuploaded all the files to the server.  Unfortunately Blogg-X and the mambot will have to be re-installed to work correctly.

Thanks for catching this so fast, I apoligize for the problem...

Thanks...

Cool, Chris

That was a fast and effective fix. Running like clockwork.

I still have a security design problem, in that anyone can view the articles, whether or not they are registered and/or logged on. I think one should be logged in prior to any interaction with the server.

Keep up the great work! Smiley

Best regards,
Merlin

Merlin,
  Glad its working now.  About the security, it will definately be addressed in the next version.  I did use your suggestion of the "(" within the mambot(PHP) that you mentioned.  Makes things alot easier to read as well.

If you have any other problems or suggestions keep them coming!!

Thanks...

Hi Chris,

Glad to help when/where I can.

You've an interesting challenge on the security/membership levels, as there are many levels and will likely be more when 1.1 comes around.

Possibly the most elegant structure for this specific area would be the CASE STATEMENT in PHP. Refer to http://www.tech-recipes.com/php_programming_tips428.html for a quick overview. It's one of my favorites Smiley

Keep up the great work!
Merlin

Well I was thinking I could handle the levels within my Java code versus PHP.  I am better with Java and could grab the user level via the PHP much the same way I am handling some of the other functions.  Plus I would like to keep the server side of the software to a minimum as waiting for the xmlrpc communication can slow things down a bit and would be faster to grab certain pieces of information and process them on the client side instead of all on the server side.  Anyway it will be fun and I am going to try and work with the new Joomla! API as well.

Thanks...

Hi Chris,

No problem. Was focusing more on the elegant structure than the language of choice Smiley

The Java equivalent is Switch:

When do you (ball park guess) estimate the more secure next release will be forthcoming?
