My thoughts on bitweaver is to integrate common business applications such as CRM, HR, Payroll, Accounting, etc into bitweaver - providing single-sign-on and common look-and-feel.

When bitweaver is in a more 'integratable' state, I will be happy to investigate this option further and fund development - but for now, its just a pipe-dream.

Here is a code sample for your .tpl:

{if $gBitLoc.browser.client eq 'mz' or $gBitLoc.browser.client eq 'ie'}
    This browser is IE or Mozilla based!
{/if}

the end.

Your best bet to creating a LibertyContent class, is to copy the SamplePackage, BitSample.php file and modify accordingly.

The best approach is to:

Modify the verify() function first, making sure each and every field is validated correctly.
Modify the store() function, ensuring data is stored in the table correctly.
Modify the load() function
Modify the getList() function
Modify the expunge() function

We have implement locale timezone formatting using BitDate() class.

For easy access, always use:

$gBitSystem->mServerTimestamp->strtotime(...);
 
and
 
$gBitSystem->mServerTimestamp->strftime(...);
 
as straight replacements.

Inside Smarty templates, use the:

{$timestamp|bit_short_datetime}

Other formats are:

bit_date_format
bit_long_datetime
bit_short_date
bit_short_time
bit_long_date
bit_long_time
bit_short_datetime

{if $gContent->mInfo.format_guid == 'bithtml'}
    This is HTML content!
{/if}

{if $gBitSystemPrefs.tinymce_ask eq 'y'}
    This setting is 'yes'!
{else}
    This setting is 'no'!
{/if}

Well...
First you need a package/admin/admin_package_inc.php file, which will look something like this:
{code}$formTinyMCEFeatures = array(
"tinymce_ask" => array(
'label' => 'WYSIWYG confirmation',
'note' => 'Ask before using the WYSIWYG editor tinymce when clicking on a textarea. If you disable this feature, we strongly suggest you enable HTML content format as the only content format and also disable quicktags.',
'page' => '',
),
);
$smarty->assign( 'formTinyMCEFea…

if ($gBitUser->hasPermission('bit_p_admin_cms')) {
    This user has permission!
}

NOTE: if you want to exit and display an error message if they don't have permission, then:

$gBitSystem->verifyPermission( 'bit_p_view' );

This displays a standard "You do not have permission!" error message.

To get a preference:

$gBitSystem->getPreference("maxArticles", 10);

Where, "maxArticles" is your preference name, which 10 is your default setting, should it not be set.

To set a preference:

$gBitSystem->storePreference("maxArticles", 10);

Where, "maxArticles" is your preference name, which 10 is your setting you wish to store.

if ($gBitSystem->isPackageActive( 'articles' )) {
    Articles are active!
}

NOTE: if you wish to exit and display an error message, if package is not enabled, use:

$gBitSystem->verifyPackage( 'articles' );

if( $gBitSystem->isFeatureActive( 'feature_listPages' ) ) {
    Feature List Pages is active!
}

NOTE: if you wish exit and display an error message on failure, use:

$gBitSystem->verifyFeature( 'feature_listPages' );

Very simple:

$gBitSystem->fatalError( "Any error message you want" )

You'd want to check that the package is installed, as some admins may not install everything.

if ($gTikiSystem->isPackageActive( 'categories' )) {
        include_once( CATEGORIES_PKG_PATH.'categ_lib.php');
        ... do something with categories...
}

Ok,

The $this object is usually a class from BitSystem parent.
First of all, you should quote your field names in backticks '`'. This is used to ensure portability between different database vendors.
Next, you want to prefix your table names with BIT_DB_PREFIX to allow multiple installs of Bitweaver under one database.
We use parameterised queries, by using '?' for our values. This also helps remove quoting problems between vendors.
Lastly, our sort mode is a function, in the

…

Uh, no - we use:

$gBitSystem->display( 'tikipackage:articles/list_articles.tpl', tra("articles") );

Where:

'tikipackage:articles/list_articles.tpl' is a url to find package templates store under package/templates/ directory
tra("articles") is used to change the browser title - should be standard practise to do this and indicate where in the CMS you are (and what you're looking at).

{if $gBitUser->hasPermission( 'bit_p_read_article' )}
  <li><a class="item" href="{$gBitLoc.ARTICLES_PKG_URL}index.php">{biticon ipackage=liberty iname=home iexplain="articles home"} {tr}Articles Home{/tr}</a></li>
  <li><a class="item" href="{$gBitLoc.ARTICLES_PKG_URL}list.php">{bitcon ipackage=liberty iname=list iexplain="list articles"} {tr}List articles{/tr}</a></li>
{/if}

Well, in Smarty templates, using the {displayname} tag works a treat. For example, I have a user ID and I want their real name:

The user name is {displayname user_id=$gBitUser->getUserId()}

See Smarty Functions for more short-cut functions.

If you had a simple table, say:

'my_faq' => "
	faq_id I4 AUTO PRIMARY,
	question C(255) NOTNULL,
	answer C(255) NOTNULL,
",

And you wanted to insert a record, you would prepare the data in the following array:

$my_data = array(
	'question' => "What is this project?",
	'answer' => "Its Bitweaver Application Framework!",
);

Then to insert it into the database:

$gBitDb->associateInsert( 'my_faq', $my_data );

If you had a simple table, say:{code}'my_faq' => "
faq_id I4 AUTO PRIMARY,
question C(255) NOTNULL,
answer C(255) NOTNULL,
",{/code}

And you wanted to update a record, you would prepare the data to update in the following array:{code}$my_data = array(
'question' => "What is this project again?",
'answer' => "Its the Bitweaver CMS and Application Framework!",
);{/code}

Next, you would define what record you plan to update. You do this by building a search array.{code}$my_id = ar…

All icons are stored under /icons directory.

So, I started a new page today called LDAPContactsPackage and thought it a good opportunity to eat my own dog food, and implement a very basic SDLC.

I've completed the Feasibility Study - I need a contacts package! That was easy! :)

So now onto requirements...

I've put down 1 week for a list of requirements - after that, I will try and lock down for version 1.1 (I will try...).

Will try and apply the Six Hats of Critical Thinking during th…

A package is the name given to the sub-directories found under Bitweaver's root directory. These are usually applications and can be removed or disabled at will.

A feature, is usually a setting within these packages - and its setting, is usually stored as a preference.

For example, Wiki is a package, while Wiki Sandbox is a feature.

After discussions with Spiderr, we agreed that critical checks will be performed in TikiSystem::checkEnvironment(). Have consolidated methods used to check these settings to ))preflight_inc.php(( and checkEnvironment() will begin to use these functions.

Reverted changes made to TikiSystem previously (thanks spiderr)
Added simple preflight checks to ))preflight_inc.php(( such as:
- minimum PHP version
- minimum PHP extension version
- file writeable checks
- directory writeable ch

Been wondering

whats the use of parameter session_lifetime?
whats the use of parameters http_domain / http_prefix? Should all references to $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] and TIKI_ROOT_URL point to these instead?
when you login to TP, it takes you to /users/my.php - but clicking on My Homepage takes you to /users/index.php?fHomepage=admin - which one is correct? Are they supposed to be the same?
should everything in setup_inc.php below ''tiki_lo

Made some structure and rename changes today.

kernel/local.php is now kernel/config_inc.php
kernel/defaults_inc.php is now kernel/config_defaults_inc.php

Kernel flowchart goes something like this:

/tiki_setup_inc.php is called - this defines TIKI_ROOT_PATH and points to (requires) kernel/setup_inc.php
kernel/setup_inc.php is called - the first two things it does is includes (in case its a virgin install) kernel/config_inc.php and requires kernel/config_defaults_inc.php. This file is
