- 10/09/00 Version 0.6.1. Minor fixes in the page editing code;
Renamed and cleaned up the localized arrays in the language files, you'll
need to update your custom pages if you use them.
- 08/09/00 Version 0.6.0 FINAL!. Removed light mode, write a new
theme if you want users to have an alternative. Added showpage.php3 to
display all non-editable page types (those users can't configure), so you
can hide them in the pageprefs.php3 page and provide the service as
specialized pages. Modified Users and NewsSites tables.
- See CHANGELOG.
I wrote a few PHP3 functions to parse backend news files. They are several
types of backend supported by the code.
As opposed to most similar sites, the news parsing is not necessarily done continuously
by background process. It is done on demand when the news box is shown.
The result of parsing is stored localy for at least 30 minutes (more for
most sites) and shared between all users who have selected that news box
(with the same parameters).
However, in order to protect itself against bugs, the web server kills PHP3
scripts if they haven't completed after a given time. To prevent this, you
need to limit the number of scripts on your page and organize them in
various other pages.
If the script does not complete, you should be missing the bottom of the
page (including the icon box). Since the content of news boxes is cached,
you can simply reload the page to get more boxes.
You may discuss this code in the Forums (you will
need it! the code is utterly un-documented!!) (You don't need to be
