Discuss Version 0.40 DevTrack

Editing version 22 of page Discuss_Version_0.40_DevTrack (the most recent revision is 26)

Note: This page is defined as a special page, and as such its final state may be different from what you see here.

Beginning to move over to using CGI.pm, and it has broken quite a bit already. This will be quite an involved and trying process.

Actually it turns out it didn't break quite a bit, only one thing was broken. That one thing was the **ReDirect()** sub. It's been fixed, and things seem to be working well now. I may move the prototype 0.40 into active state for the main site.

**DoSearch()** is going to be re-written to be faster (it's fast if you only have a few pages, but as you get up around 100 or more, it slows down noticeably).

Also, file uploads should be implemented soon and tested.

-- [[AaronGraves|AaronGraves]] //Mon Mar 10 16:24:56 UTC 2014// (69.4.28.21)

New search is in place and seems to work fairly well. Unsure at this time if there is a "noticeable" speed difference.

File uploads are implemented, and working. This will introduce two new variables to the config file. They are:
* **$UploadsAllowed** - Set to 1 for allowed, 0 for not allowed. Default will be 0.
* **@UploadTypes** - Array that holds the MIME types of allowed file uploads. The default is set to include 'image/jpeg', 'image/gif', and 'image/png'.

Moved File Uploads to Implemented, and CGI.pm to Partially Implemented

Here's a list of mime types (for reference): [[http://webdesign.about.com/od/multimedia/a/mime-types-by-file-extension.htm]]

Shortcodes were implemented on the 20th of March.

Debating on renaming Shortcodes to Macros.

Also, I changed shortcodes from using single brackets to single percent signs.

Today I changed the way **DoVisit** and **DoAdminListVisitors** work. Basically, the visitor log file will be much easier to get information from.

The code for reading/writing cookies needs to be changed (convert to using CGI.pm)

-- [[AaronGraves|AaronGraves]] //Thu May  8 19:33:38 UTC 2014// (69.4.28.21)

Reading and writing cookies has been converted to CGI.pm methods.

I have fixed a bug in the URI handling for Aneuch whereby the semicolon was being sent at %3B by some requesters (ahem, Google), and was causing some rather unexpected results.

Thinking of a new short code, called `discusspage` which provides a link to the discussion page (if enabled) of an article. If you're on the discussion page, it'll provide a link back to the article page. Further, it can take arguments for link text, and possibly even page (for example, if you want to point to the discussion page for article XYZ)

Yesterday I implemented robots.txt handling. Now, I want to implement page description and keyword fields, for SEO purposes. I also want to develop an algorithm that will auto-populate the description and keyword fields if they have not been manually set.

Version 0.40 should be pushed to ship. It's stalled for too long. The things holding it back will likely get scrubbed in favor of [[Version 0.50]].

A bot has again triggered the reversion of some pages on the main Aneuch site. So for the next release, page reversion needs to be rethought so that it cannot be triggered by a bot in any way. A couple of ideas:

* Make page reversion only possible if the user is logged in (IsAdmin)
* Make page reversion require a unique identifier in the confirm= field. So instead of 'yes' maybe it could be something like the date, time, and IP address

-- [[AaronGraves|AaronGraves]] //Mon Sep  8 16:01:03 UTC 2014// (69.4.28.21)
----

There's actually even a third option:

* Allow the editing of page versions besides the current version. When revert is triggered, call edit on the version that was triggered by the revert.

-- [[AaronGraves|AaronGraves]] //Mon Sep  8 16:08:15 UTC 2014// (69.4.28.21)
----

As a temporary stop-gap measure, in the development version of Aneuch running this website, I have set the **DoRevert** action to pass the **IsAdmin()** check. It will fail if it does not.

Before I push out 0.40, I want to add in the basic elements for notifications/subscriptions. The goal is to make subscribing to the RecentChanges possible at minimum.

-- [[AaronGraves|AaronGraves]] //Fri Oct  3 14:43:54 UTC 2014// (69.4.28.21)
----

Ok, gotta get my butt in gear on this. I need to take stock and figure out what's waiting to go into 0.40, and what can be pushed. This has gone on long enough, and it needs to get out the door.

For the problem of bots triggering a revert of a page, I'm thinking this solution will work... allow Aneuch to edit previous versions of a page. When the revert button is clicked, an edit is triggered of the particular version of the page. This would require the edit to be submitted, which would require it to pass all the other sanity checks. This would (effectively) eliminate bots from triggering a page reversion.
