Title: MiniCMS for CPG1.5?
Post by: lamama on July 31, 2009, 01:01:20 am
I fear I will get sued for starting this one here, but the 1.4 thread is locked (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,15543.0.html), http://cpg-contrib.org/ seems to be knocked out and it looks like Donnoman hasn't been active here for several months.

From the MiniCMS thread:
Quote
The Coppermine dev team recommends using this plugin - we think that it's a great advantage to have.

Any idea if this great plugin (or something similar) will be available for cpg1.5? Any attempt to migrate any of my active galleries to 1.5.x would be quite worthless without the features of MiniCMS...  :'(

Yes it's true. It seem MiniCMS do'nt work as expected with CPG 1.5.1. !!!
But i remember around 1.5.x #svn 6000, MiniCMS worked perfectly  ???

During the alpha phase, we're hoping that plugin authors and/or any others (when authors are no longer active or are busy) will modify 1.4 plugins for use in 1.5.  Any one can contribute, so if you have the skills, take a look and see what you can do.

Hehe, you won't get sued, but actually this thread doesn't belong on the bugs board for cpg1.5.x, so I'm moving it accordingly.

I can see the point: if the MiniCMS was not available for cpg1.5.x, that would certainly be a show-stopper for the upgrade from cpg1.4.x to cpg1.5.x for those who currently use that plugin.
However, it's beyond the scope of the dev team to convert plugins: each dev team member is free to convert plugins or come up with new ones. But as Paver suggested there's no guarantee that anyone will, so if you want to make sure, you might consider to start working on it. ;D
I can say one thing for sure: I will not port it ;).

But i remember around 1.5.x #svn 6000, MiniCMS worked perfectly  ???
I can can confirm Pascal's observation - it used to work for a while after the the Inspektification.

If you plan to actually port the plugin for cpg1.5.x I suggest to get a CVS checkout from the repository of cpg-contrib and use that as a base.

All Dev,

Yes, this is a very serious problem.
Personally, my gallery used very intensively MiniCMS.
MiniCMS is, in my opinion, one of the best plugin for Coppermine.
Unfortunately, i'm lacking the ability to modify the MiniCMS's code.
Because that, I know I would not upgrade to 1.5.x

I know, like all of us, I'm not the only MiniCMS's user, so I guess already that I'm not the only one who'll do'nt want to upgrade to 1.5.x.
Thus it's very important to offer this plugin in agreement with 1.5.x

IMO  ;D
Title: Re: MiniCMS for CPG1.5?
Post by: Αndré on October 05, 2009, 08:53:53 am
I never had a look at the MiniCMS code. But I think basically all $_GET/$_POST vars has to be replaced with $superCage as described here (http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/dev_superglobals.htm).

Me too. I'd love to upgrade my main gallery. CPG 1.5 looks great so far, but the missing MiniCMS keeps me from testing it under 'real' conditions.

Have there ever been considerations to add some basic CMS-like functionality to the CPG-core? Maybe it would make more sense - instead of riding a dead horse (I fear miniCMS is one).
Title: Re: MiniCMS for CPG1.5?
Post by: phill104 on October 10, 2009, 08:10:22 pm
I very much doubt adding a cms to the core would ever be done. Coppermine is a photo app, not a cms. There are many fully fledged cms systems out there so let's leave those to do what they are good at and let coppermine be the best photo app out there.
Title: Re: MiniCMS for CPG1.5?
Post by: lamama on October 10, 2009, 09:12:49 pm
Not 'real' CMS stuff, were talking about miniCMS here. ;)

But adding some notes and additional text to gallery pages. I could hardly imagine working with CPG without being able to do that.
Title: Re: MiniCMS for CPG1.5?
Post by: Joachim Müller on October 11, 2009, 08:23:52 pm
28 files in the minimcms folder that contain the strings $_GET, $_POST or $_SERVER. Just a lot of work to "inspektify"... ;)

I have a version up and running that installs and can display existing content. It needs more work to be able to create new content... anybody else working on this?

Here comes....

This is an early mock-up port to 1.5.2. There are a number of things that do not work. In fact, there are only two things that I have been able to do with it: I was able to install it as a plug in, and it did display the content that I created in cpg 1.4.x. Creating content is not really possible, as all space characters get filtered away. Everythingbecomesonelargeword.

It may not be as cooperative with anyone else - and please understand that I do not provide support for this version of the port. However, anyone who like to play with fire or would like to contribute to the port is welcome to a test drive  ;)

Maybe someone could help load it up to svn - I'm not familiar with that.

The file was too large to be attached. It can be downloaded from http://www.natvik.com/bfdoc/minicms.zip (http://www.natvik.com/bfdoc/minicms.zip)

Finally I took halnat's work over, and it seems I made it out to get MiniCMS work properly on 1.5.6, by simply replacing Inspekt's getAlnum method with getRaw (disapproved, I know, but still the only way I found to make it work). There are still some minor issues, but I'm confident to fix them soon.

Instead using getAlNum or getRaw, we should us getMatched allowing alphanumeric characters, number and some other digits like whitespace and punctuation marks, or validate the input after using getRaw.
Title: Re: MiniCMS for CPG1.5?
Post by: Joachim Müller on June 12, 2010, 05:53:06 pm
As Αndré suggested you're allowed to use getRaw if you sanitize the data afterwards really thoroughly.

Speaking about FCKEditor output, isn't it already sanitized enough by the editor itself?

No. There's absolutely no sense in replying to this thread asking for updates. As far as I can see nobody is working on this. If you want it badly, start working on it. Do as suggested per board rules in the future and post a link to your gallery.

If it is so hard to port this plugin because of the many places where you have to sanitize user inout, maybe you should circumvent the issues that using Inspekt imposes on coders in the first place. This will of course ruin the additional level of security and will make the code less well-designed, but for a port that big you might want to use the approach that extrabigmehdi used in his Joomla bridge for cpg1.5.x:
Concerning the code used in my bridge, I guess I'm not respecting the "spirit" of the  "Inspekt package" . I  got to access directly to stored superglobals with "_source" property  (especially $COOKIE) before calling Joomla .
So basically what Mehdi does is re-globalize all input that Inspekt de-globalized in the first place. Not a nice thing to do and definitely not something that should be performed lightheartedly, but given the issues that exist for this particular plugin maybe the interessted porters should take a look at that approach.

Added halnat's version to the svn repository (http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.5.x/plugins/minicms/) and applied several fixes.

As far I can judge it's currently possible to add, delete and move entries.

Hello, I was very happy to learn that MiniCms was back for the latest versions of Coppermine.
After following the instructions in the readme file
"Unpack the archive and upload the "minicms" directory structure to your Coppermine gallery's plugins folder.
Login as an admin, go to config, then "Manage Plugins"
Find the CPG MiniCMS entry in the available plugins and click install."

Also, clicking on the icon to install the error appears:
Quote
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting '}' in /mnt/156/sda/e/4/mywebsite/coppermine/plugins/minicms/codebase.php on line 223

Maybe a solution ?

So I pass to the last version provided by my web hosting

But when I clicking to Install the following page appears and MiniCMS still not installed.
