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,
As I have said, I don't currently have any time to work on PostNuke
modules because my collegues had the strange idea to elect me at the
head of my university department !!
There is a working version of pn-books .8 but it lacks lang files other
than eng and fra, and the documentation is not up to date.
This version was in use on my own website http://www.vedrine.net for a
few months and no bug was reported so I consider it as stable enought
for production.
As the module has been totally rewritten it seems better to go with a
brand new CVS and let the old .75 version on sourceforge for users not
wanting to upgrade yet.
So I created a NOC project and uploaded all the sources. You can find
this project here: http://noc.postnuke.com/projects/books/
If you want to test it, you will have to download all the files from CVS.
An upgrade from books .75 is supported but as the database records will
be changed to support hierarchic categories (this means that all your
subcategories id will change and all references to sid=xx will be
repaced by cid= yy in ALL URLS, be warned) I STRONGLY ADVISE TO BACKUP
YOUR SITE AND DATABASE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALL ON A LIVE SITE
!!!!!!!!!
Be carefull, upgrade has only been tested on my tests sites and on my
production website so I wil prefer that you install it on a test site first/
Report any problem or bug using the NOC trackers of the project.
Maybe in a few months I will be able to continue PostNuke coding (I hope
so).
Cheers.
Jean-Michel Vedrine

So the most up to date release is the one on SourceForge dated March
26, 2005 and is called something similar to GOLD PN .750?

Is this correct?

Thanks?

Hello,
Yes it appears that there is a naming conflict between the 2 modules and
you are the first one to report that. But what surprise me is why this
problem hasn't surfaced on my own website where I have both modules
installed nad running ?
So I need to study the problem and I will release a modified version of
AmaZone module (easier to do, see next paragraph to learn why)
No the 2 files modules/books/amazon_functions.php and
modules/AmaZone/functions aren't the sames and doesn't serve the same
purpose. The first one (the one from the books modules) was written by
Daniel Filzhut and is used with author's permission in the books module
since the beginning (so it is rather difficult for me to modify it)
the second one (the one from the AmaZone module was originally written
by the phpnuke module's author from wich AmaZone was derived. I have
already modified it a lot so this is the one I will change again.
Thanks for reporting this problem.
As a side note some PostNuke users may wonder why I have been nearly
absent of the PostNuke scene for the last months, fortunately for me
(but unfortunately for PostNuke users) I have been elected at the head
of my University department and didn't had a lot of time for PostNuke
programming ...
This is the reason why new templated versions of weather and books are
nearly finished (and running on my website http://www.vedrine.net) but
still unreleased.

With the latest version of both books and Amazone installed and
active on the same Postnuke 762 site I get the following error when
I try to enter the Books module Admin:

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare amazon_search() (previously declared
in C:\wamp\www\modules\books\amazon_functions.php:445) in
C:\wamp\www\modules\AmaZone\functions.php on line 144"

Since we are using the same amazon functions file in both cases (I
think) it just doesn't like it. Other that that the Book module
works fine. (the Amazone too!)

You might ask, "Why in the heck would anyone want to run both on the
same site?." Well, someone is always going to do something like
this, but in my case I'm using the Books module to track and show
the books I am reading and reviewing while using the Amazone module
for it's designed purpose.

Anyway, I hope you can figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if
we need to find a way around it or what.

Thanks,

Hilary
(aimbigh)

The last official release was March 26, 2005.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46980

The author stated in the postnuke forums that his last
commit to CVS was Jan 11th 2006. Unfortunately, the
750 tree in CVS has been cleared and is now empty.

I posted a thread asking about this on the postnuke
forums....

http://noc.postnuke.com/projects/amazone/
contains a link labled "Project Home Page" pointing
to http://amazone.noc.postnuke.com/  This is the page
that I was referring to.

It is difficult to know why a question remains
unanswered.  However, I posted a question
in the Amazone forums back in March, about the
home page, and did not receive a response.

Thank you for this, very clear statement, on the
differences between the two modules.  I will,
based on this, stick with pn-mod-books.

Understood... as their purpose is different,
that makes perfect sense.

I am running RC4.  My concern was the use of
the RC designation.  Release Candidate implies
that the program is still being tested...

I did try searching the Postnuke forums.
Unfortunately, since they switch to pnforum,
I have found the search function to be
worthless.

Again, thank you for responding so quickly
and I apologize if I have offended in any way.

This is because you aren't looking at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pn-mod-books
<http://pn-mod-books.sourceforge.net/>
My last commit to CVS is dated Jan 11th 2006 and Sourceforge CVS has
been down for the entire April month and for part of May so I could not
commit anything !!
My plan is to commit the new totally rewritten version as soon as the
lang files are done. Unfortunately I only speak French and English so I
must rely on several volunteers to do the other languages.wich take some
time.

This is because these files are working with no known problem with the
last PostNuke version. I only release new version when I correct a bug,
add new functionality or rewrite a module.

No these 2 module serve totally different purposes and AmaZone don't
replace books.
- in books you can advertise products from other stores than Amazon (for
instance Barne&Noble, ...) and from differents amazon websites (for
instance amazon.com and amazon.fr) at the same time
- in books amazon websevice are only used at item creation but all data
for and item come from the PostNuke database. Amazon is not used at all
when a visitor display the details of an item.
- in AmaZone you can only advertise products coming from one Amazone
webstore
- all details for an item come from the Amazon webservices. they are
cached but if the cache is too old a new query to Amazon is done
It's up to you to decide which module is good for you

No migration is possible because the tables are too differents
>
> [3] How close are we to a safe version for use with PN 7.6.2?
Both AmaZone and books current versions are working well with PostNuke
.762 you can download books current version (version 750 RC4) here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=46980 and AmaZone
current version (version 1.1)here :
http://noc.postnuke.com/frs/?group_id=263
Please next time before posting a lot of inexact statements can you do a
little search before. Thanks.
Jean-Michel Védrine

Jean-Michel;

Could you give me a clear statement of the current status?

The books home page on Sourceforge has not been updated for a long time.

http://pn-mod-books.sourceforge.net/

The Amazone home page on the NOC doesn't exist.

http://noc.postnuke.com/projects/amazone/

The newest file release for either project was January 2006
and neither site has active/current forums or bug reports.

Questions:

[1] My understanding is that Amazone is taking the place of
pn-mod-books. Is that true?

[2] If Amazone is replacing pn-mod-books, how hard is it to
migrate a working pn-mod-books dataset?

[3] How close are we to a safe version for use with PN 7.6.2?

It looks quite interesting.  When you are ready for someone
to beta test your documentation, let me know.  I can setup
a offline test server and do multiple walkthroughs.

Thank you for all of your hard work Jean-Michel.

hello


could someone stop this garbage collection on the mailing list for the book
module.

I will unsubscribe the list - since we read  sex news 200 times more than a
software-related news.

this signal-to-noice ratio is just frustrating -

sex-advertiser are boring!

first of all, perhaps a little background is probably necessary. I am running PN
.762 So far so good - but plz bear with me if this is a stupid question, but I'm
new. I am very new to AutoTheme and recently downloaded the Lite version. I read
the instructions on how to install it, but it doesn't make sense to me. I want
to have themed pages for html blocks. i have traveled throughout the whole web
and saw agood site. See http://www.nytimes.com/pages/travel/index.html i want to
accomplish a theme like this one - with seveal columns and blocks:
http://www.nytimes.com/pages/travel/ - perhaps you can advice me to get a theme
like this one ?!?! my idea - for the theme.html

thanks

I am happy to report that http://www.vedrine.net is now running a beta
version of books .76
This is a TOTAL rewrite of the books module (yes it was a huge works,
only permitted by the fact my students are now blocking my University
for 2 weeks so I had a lot of spare time !!)
New features
- full hierachic tree of categories (any level of subcategories
allowed). A migration script is provided to migrate your subcategories
to categories with the correct parent.
- use the Ratings module for ratings and EZComments module for comments(
a migration script for EZComments and an improved Ratings module with
migration menu are provided)
- totally pnAPI compliant
- use pnRender templates for all displays
- use a lot of specifically designed pnRender plugins (navbar, display
ratings, count ezcomments, newbookgraphic, popgraphic) some of them can
even be used with other templated modules
- tableless design of all templates
- use CSS stylesheet
- redesigned blocks (also templated)
- much cleaner admin panel

It is still a beta version and I already noticed some bugs (for instance
the fact that clicking on an author's name link to an old url)
I want also verify that all pages outputs are HTML compliant.
Also the new documentation must be written.
I am very proud of this version because the books module code was
derivated from an old version of the Web_Links module and now the son is
ready for .8 even before it's ancestor
But I must also admit that I borowed some code for the NOC project that
is now rewritting the Downloads and Web_Links modules !!

I am very surprised you have this problem with PostNuke .762 because the
only reports I got of this problem were for PostNuke .750 and were in
fact PostNuke .750 fault, not the boks module one. Nobody reported this
problem for PostNuke .762 and I don't have any clue on what is happening
if you get this message with Postnuke .762
For PostNuke .750, I posted the solution here:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=456582
Jean-Michel Védrine

I have .762 working in the test site and need to work out a couple of
bugs before I can move it into production.

Any thoughts on the Access Denied error I'm receiving when trying to
go to the books module admin page?

The public parts of the books module appear to be working correctly.

This is a known bug of PostNuke .750 (not a specific pnBooks problem)
please see my message here:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=456582 and you will
learn how to correct it.

As a PostNuke core developper I MUST point out that running a website
with PN .750 is very unsecure. My best advice would be to upgrade to
.762. You have been warned !!

For you problem with the ISBN lookup problem
1) verify that your developper token is correct
2) verify that the line  :
$amazon_associates_id=_AFFILIDn;            # Your amazon affiliate id
Correctly point to your affiliate id that is if it reads
$amazon_associates_id=_AFFILID1;            # Your amazon affiliate id
then you should have another line with define("_AFFILID1","'your
affiliate id'");
Sometime the number after AFFILID is not the good one
Another solution is to modify this line to :
$amazon_associates_id= 'your affiliate id';            # Your amazon
affiliate id just to be sure the affiliate id is correctly passed.

Hmm, ok now I can't even get to the admin functions at all.

I went through the install doc and followed the upgrade instructions
to the letter.

Now I get "Access Denied" when I try to get to the books admin page.

Hello,

I downloaded the latest code today and upgraded my site with it and
noticed that the book lookup function is coming back empty.

I verified that I have my amazon developer token, etc. correct in the
config file.

http://www.aquaria.info
Postnuke:  .750
Books:  .740RC4

Junglelib (www.junglelib.com) version 0.92 beta is now available for
the Xaraya CMS (www.xaraya.com). Originally based on the code for the
Postnuke Books module (but completely refactored to use the native
Xaraya API), Junglelib lets site administrators add any Amazon product
available through Amazon E-Commerce web service version 4 (not just
books, but apparel, video games, DVDs, audio CDs, kitchen appliances,
tools, etc..). Also, products can be added from any foreign Amazon
site (amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.co.jp, etc, and are displayed using
the native language). Using Xaraya's configurable templating system,
site administrators can choose to display products in virtually any
arrangement they desire by merely editing display templates. Junglelib
is free and licensed under GPL.

Cheers,

Jason Levitt

If you have 7.61 running, don't worry about the 7.62
upgrade breaking anything.  I did it on a couple of
sites today and it didn't change anything with the
books module, but fixed a lot of little problems
with 7.61.
