After a nugde by Phil I was re-ignited to do something about our captcha system. It really doesn't make sense that logged in users have to verify that they can read letters, when they have already shown the ability of writing a valid password.
So I've changed it so that only comments from anonynous users need captcha verification…
Phil Flynn brought to my attention that pdf files couldn't be viewed when saved in RedGloo's filesystem. This came as a surprise to me, as I definately could view them. I tried for sanity sake to view the file using IE (I use Firefox) and it didn't show…
This really surprised me, and I tried to look for several options. By chance I found a MS bug report where it was tied to the https protocol (MS claiming it as expected behaviour). I tried to view the pdf file using the http protocol. This worked!
I have now removed https from the default url, and only use https for login purposes. This is something I wanted to do for some time, but didn't get around until now…
So we've been actacked by spammers!! I still believe that we only should allow logged in people to comment… How do you feel about that Phil?
Yet again a backslash annoyance has been detected.
If somebody puts a non URL character in their name (Such as "'") then it will be backslashed under the profile owner section in the sidebar. This happens always, except when pressing the profile link where everything is ok!!!!!!
I've looked at this, and can't find the bug easily, I checked the newest elgg code, and it seems like they have found the bug already and rectified it.
I think this is yet another incentive to upgrade the code base…
There seems to be a bug in the rss code. When a new rss feed is registered it and subscribed to it doesn't automatically get on the blog…
The rss-feed is finally getting through the Uni proxy, and into the RedGloo database. It has been quite a struggle due to elgg-source code bugs and a too eager / efficient Uni proxy…
One thing we have to look at is the functionality surrounding the rss-feeds – I'm not quite sure whether I like / understand it, but that's up for discussion…
I did some plumbing, and by mistake turned the default blog state back to logged in. Sorry Phil 😉
We are now back to Public.
I've just found http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-install&m=114421933720871&am that talks about php problems with external access through an ISA proxy.
So our suspision where probably correct – it must be a Uni proxy problem!
Suddenly the community and user list under search didn't work.
Are u doing some plumming?
We need to get an e-mail account and smtp server registered to RedGloo. Does anybody know how to get an e-mail address registered at the uni?
