Sorry it took so long (:
by Brian Ronald - Feb 21st 2005 06:31:33
It's been far from the only thing I've been working on.
unfortunately, writing free software isn't what makes
me a living, so it's not first priority. Hopefully the
advances made in version 2.0 will show people that I
haven't abandoned this software in any way.

New release soon
by Brian Ronald - Jul 18th 2003 04:52:06
This project hasn't dropped from the face of the Earth! No, far from
it.
The next version is currently in alpha, in that it isn't feature complete.
It is being used by my employers, and so far the number of bugs seems to
be very low.
I expect it to go beta (feature complete) in about a month, if all goes
well. I'll announce that on the site and on Freshmeat, and brave users
will be able to download it. It should be stable enough, but I won't
announce it as a release version until it's been properly tested.
For a round-up of the changes that should see the next release, go to
http://www.ppcis.org/ and have a look at the news.

The page that flashes up is just the authentication script, and won't give
you any useable error messages.
The most common cause of password failure is a alck of cookie support.
You version of PHP does support sessions, and PPCIS relies on these 100% to
keep you logged in.
You will need to accept the session cookie that PPCIS gives you when you
start up, so make sure that your browser accepts at least those. Session
cookies are not persistent, and so you will be logged out if you close your
browser.

New web site
by Brian Ronald - May 19th 2003 03:38:15
I have a new distribution site for PPCIS. There is also a live demo on
this site. DNS might not have completely propagated at the time that I
post this, so if http://www.ppcis.org/ doesn't work for you, keep trying!

I am having problems running PPCIS.
by DeneU - Feb 23rd 2003 07:45:03
After clicking the login button - the browser just jumps to a solid white
page. The URL changes to the "auth.php" URL but does not actually
authenticate the user. If I click the refresh button and the
"STOP" the browser immediately - I see this following error in
the browser window:
Authorisation returned: userid=0, username=logout.
If you aren't automatically returned, click here.
I am running RHL 7.3 with PHP 4.1.2. I have other pages written in PHP on
my server and they function correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks to me like your PHP variables aren't being passed into the script
properly. If you've tried everything else, you can see if the following
works:
http://www.ppcis.org/files.php?fileid=9
(again, DNS propagation might mean this isn't available for a short time)

New features
by Brian Ronald - Nov 14th 2002 08:09:36
I've had some feedback from users, and have come up with a list of new
features that I intend to include in the next release(s) of PPCIS.
1. A guest user flag, and the ability for non-guests to alter their own
directory details.
2. The directory will be filterable on team.
3. The library will be searchable on filename, and filterable on
mimetype.
4. Some changes will be made to filtering of archived news; specifically,
once a filter is applied, it will also show current articles. This is to
avoid confusion.
5. Printable news articles. A link from each article which will display
the article in simple HTML with no menus, ready to be printed.
If anybidy has further suggestions, either post a comment here or email
me.

Sorry, that one never occurred to me. You can hunt through the source for
mail( and change the strings in the code just before it...
I'll have this done as a variable in future. I'm thinking of having much
of the config in the database anyway, as the settings.inc is getting large.

Version 1.0
by Brian Ronald - Oct 31st 2002 19:11:34
I've released 1.0. The bug fixing stage is as near
complete as I can get it.
The next version will have new features. I plan to
have users able to add/edit/remove their own
entry in the directory, and I also intend to break
files.php into smaller pieces, as I have the rest of
the project.
If anybody can think of any improvements to my
documentation and installation instructions, let me
know. I know what I'm on about, but does
anybody else?

www.ppcis.org
by Brian Ronald - Oct 27th 2002 18:43:21
I've registered the domain, and I've set up the
web site. Only problem is, the web host in
question is currently on my sofa waiting for me to
find somewhere to host it.
Once hosted, there will be a working demo site,
and the main site will also be running on a modified
copy of PPCIS - basically, with the login checks on
the library disabled so that files can be
downloaded anonymously.
It's not really web portal software, but it's mine
and I want to use it. (:

BUG ANNOUNCEMENT
by Brian Ronald - Oct 21st 2002 05:41:48
Version 0.95
Critical bug
In fixing the system so that it would work with the php_globals directive
set to off, I completely broke the file upload system in the library
module. I will package up 0.96 tonight with the fix in place; until
then, anybody who needs the repaired file, email me and I'll send you the
file (7404 bytes) by return.

Bugs to be fixed
by Brian Ronald - Oct 16th 2002 08:20:37
A couple of bugs that will be fixed in version 0.94:
1. Putting an apostrophe into an FAQ results in a backslash being
displayed before it. There's no workaround in the current version, but
0.94 will fix the display of existing data.
2. It is possible to create folders in the library with no names or with
one or more spaces as names. It is then impossible to select these folders
by hyperlink, and is difficult to find their unique number to zoom to them.
The workaround is to view the source to find the unique number, and then
zoom to it.
Also, the online help system will next be extended to cover the admin
screens, and a couple of typos that I've found in the existing help will be
sorted.
If anybody finds another issue that needs dealing with, email me today.
0.94 is scheduled for late this evening (GMT).

Grrr DIrs in zip

Had this been source code for compilation, I would
have done that. As it is, on all of my own
installations, it's extracted to the web root, not to
a directory. This is so that people can use the
URL of the form http://intranet/ rather than
http://intranet/ppcis/ . I'm probably not going to
be easily persuaded to include a directory in the
archive.
It's probably easier to make a directory and untar
the thing into it, than to untar it, move everything
out of it, and then remove the directory.

README available
by Brian Ronald - Oct 12th 2002 11:13:23
From release 0.9, PPCIS contains a lengthy
README file explaining the operation of the
system, and an INSTALL file for those who used
the direct tgz link and missed the instructions on
the web site.
Hope this helps.

Problems with rights
by Brian Ronald - Oct 12th 2002 11:00:06
Two people have emailed me saying they've had
trouble assigning rights to users that they have
created. I can't replicate the problem, so if
anybody has seen this bug, please tell me about
it. Let me know the version of PHP you're using,
and any php.ini directives that you've changed
from the default, and as much as you can about
the events leading up to the error.
Thanks.

FIXED
by Brian Ronald - Oct 14th 2002 16:21:04
Many thanks to Alan Hagge, who
managed to provide enough information to fix this
bug despite the fact that I couldn't replicate it. It
was a dodgy SQL statement.
Version 0.93 is fixed.

SQL errors when you try to add directory, news items
by Brian Ronald - Oct 11th 2002 15:31:00
This will be fixed for 0.9
Not sure how I'll approach this one. The problem
is that records are being added with the form
having been broken by a lack of data in other
tables.
The workaround is simple. To fix news submission,
create at least one news topic. To fix web site
submission, create a web category. To fix
directory submission, create at least one team and
one location.
My apologies.
