hello again


well Jean Micheel Vedrine had good news - again many thanks to you Jean Michel!


in order to enlarge the audience i would take a announcement on
modules.postnuke.com into consideration.
this would attract more people and would help in creating some more testers.
With this we would be able to
speed up the outstanding work on

1. the languages
2. the testing in various environments
3. the feedback regarding /book and features like blocks, additional features
and thelike


Btw: since it was very very quiet on this list i am coruios to get to know how
many ppl are still on the list - and how many interested guys are out there.
Sure the upcomming article reaches ten times more people.


If we post and article on Mod.postnuke.com we can reach many supporters, users,
bug fixers and so on.
This helps to foster the emergent design, the and user-driven development of
this great module.
And it fosters a cycle of testing, feedback, and ongoing negotiations around
this great module,

who is going to take care for the article posting.... if nobody does - i will do
it next week.

The article should announce where the fresh code can be downloaded, where the
forums for help and discussions are.
I hope that the new module finds many friends all over the world


-jobst




btw - what bout the fopne restriction that is in some environments a serious
problem
if we take the various environments in to consideration
many restricted ones are out there, those that run with "Allow_url_fopen set to
disable"

Allow_url_fopen is dangerouls - workaround cf a phpnuke-example

http://preciogasolina.com/postp1055.html#1055

Open /includes/NukeAmazon/functions.php
replace function AMZ_file_get_contents($url) with the following code.

My host has disabled PHP's allow_url_fopen which includes the "fopen" command
for security reasons which doesn't allow this module to work.
They instead recommend curl functions.


function AMZ_file_get_contents($url)
{
////
// Fetch URL using whathever method is available. Returns content of page on
success, false on failure
# function tep_fetch_url($url) {
if(function_exists('curl_init')) {

> Hello,

> If you want to test it, you will have to download all the files from CVS.

> Be carefull, upgrade has only been tested on my tests sites and on my
