[Xerte] toolkits installation feedback (+data.xml missing in new USER-FILES subdirs)

[Patrick Lockley]

I can change the suggestions - it took me an age using a new system
(same code) to work out what it meant. I don't really get LDAP.

Templaterights / templatesyndication don't really need a primary key -
it's linked to templatedetails on the template_id column. If this is
naughty mysql then please accept my apologies.

I don't get point C, sorry, could you clarify it for me.

The new template code is in website_code/php/templates/new_template.php

What does fiddler show you?

Hi,

Random things regarding installation :

a) When using an LDAP server, the ldap filter fields are pre-set to e.g.
uid= - the code ends up doing "uid==..." which breaks; so could the
'suggestion' of 'uid=' be changed to 'uid'? for the main filter and
secondary filter?

b) Looking in the database, a number of the tables don't have any
indexes or [primary] keys - e.g. templatesyndication, templaterights.
This isn't necessarily an issue - but it seems a bit odd.

c) If you're ever wanting to spend time on something (!!), reform the
sitedetails page so it's in the form of :

name / value
rather than one single row with many fields. This would make it more
flexible (e.g. select value from sitedetails where name = 'bind_dn') and
make it easier to store more configuration options in the future without
having to update the schema.



Anyway, after going off on a tangent, my problem is as follows :


I've created a user in the ldap directory, and they can login to a new
instance of xerte. After logging in, I see the entry in the database
table logindetails is created.

However, when trying to create content I see errors like the following
occurring :

Warning:
copy(/var/www/vhosts/xerte.xxxxx.palepurple.co.uk/htdocs/USER-FILES/3-de
rrin-Nottingham/data.xml)
[function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/var/www/vhosts/xerte.xxxxx.palepurple.co.uk/htdocs/modules/xerte/edit.p
hp
on line 46

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in
/var/www/vhosts/xerte.xxxxx.palepurple.co.uk/htdocs/modules/xerte/edit.p
hp
on line 48

The USER-FILES subdirectories are all empty, and do not contain e.g.
data.xml or preview.xml. These do exist in e.g.
./modules/xerte/templates/Nottingham/data.xml but I can't seem to find
any code which is responsible for copying this data.xml to the
USER-FILES sub-directory.


I installed through an svn co of the code from google.
( http://xerte.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/toolkits_server ); currently
using revision 68.

thanks
David.
