CMS v1.3

V1.3 is ready to go.

I corrected a couple bugs in the side bar code,
added username to the uppercorner so they know which account they are logged in under,
Added a Games section.  Just dump the game code into the correct folder, and the index page auto logs it on the homepage of the game section.

CMS Login Script replaced

I abandon my cookie only login script and went for a database, OOP login script.  I have no idea how to do OOP but it works and i have been able to modify the code enough for it to fit into my project. =-)

So this is the Project:

Login page
Account info
Edit My Account
Home page
File Creator
Create new,
Edit old,
View Files.

Protected: main.php

Committee Intranet Experiment

I’m setting up Drupal as my next college project. It is going to primarily be an intranet experiment. If it works, then committees will be able to work on items more effectively without having to be present physically.

Photo Server-update

The photo server is running smoothly now.  After reinstalling and reconfiguring Gallery2 for the second time, the database started acting nice.

The first install went great for 2 hours, then the database just lost everything.  Also, linux locked up 3 times.  On the second try, I used a second computer to remote access the gallery2 and database.  This worked a lot better.

So if you have to use an old computer as a server, dont use it while setting up databases, and configuring web base interfaces. =)

C.M.S. graphic shell update.

Nothing in programming is ever easy. I have the graphic shell intergrated and working great. I even dynamically load the correct side bars and main nav bar.

However, during all of this upgrading, I am having troubles with cookie settings. To make the program cleaner, I have put the file control portion into its own directory. Thats where the main problem is. The cookie made on the home page, will not work in a new directory.
I may redesign C.M.S. where the homepage has no password, and have a password for each sub-directory.

Graphic Shell Prototype

I am redesigning my Cobol Management System into a new shiney shell instead of the old school text only format. here is a screen shot:

After a few more projects in the Cobol class, I’ll know more about the extra items I need to add to the project. I’m currently planning to add division code developer. type in the requested information, then it outputs the correct code, so all I have to do is copy/paste into the Cobol editor.

Photo Server

I’m running out of blank CDs and on top of that, half of them do not burn correctly, so I have figured out a better way.

I’m going to set up a Gallery2 photo gallery on the Faculty side of the network, make an account for each person who will need access, then upload my photos. That way everyone has one place to go to and I save a great deal of blank CDs (=money=).

There are 4 departments who want my photos, so I’m guessing I will need about 20-30 accounts. Not very hard, just time consuming, but that is the life of a computer person.

After that, I’m thinking about setting up a joomla or drupal site for some faculty committee projects. It would be easier to go there, leave their article, get response, and fix them. At the moment, they are just emailing each other/going to their office. This would be a little less time consuming and more interactive.
