WebAPP Deluxe Project by Ted Cambron

I don't remember where I got this package from.  I rececently installed it over my existing WebAPP 9.9.2.1 installation.  Everything is working fine except:

User Gallery: Images are either displayed as broken images, or only partially displayed.

Instant Messages:  I was getting a "illegal division by zero in instantmessage.pl line 380" error but once I set the maximum messages in admin tools this error was fixed.

There where more errors but I can't find them now LOL.

Its most likely a known upload bug that you can get help with on the main web-app site...

It wasnt a good move to go to Web-App Deluxe as its not an official release and is based on old code.

0.9.9.2.1 is more advanced than the version you used...

Thanks for your reply... I knew when I Installed WebAPP Deluxe that it wasn't an official version... I was more interested in the added features that do to lack of time I couldn't add to my site myself.. I'll check the main site though.  Thanks again.

do a search looking for...

windows image bug
upload corrupt images
uploader windows fix

those typer of searches...  it was just recently brought up again as another user of a windows server had the same issue recently...

the fix usually is to change the format uploads are done in...  binary/ascii
I think the problem is the images get uploaded using ascii when they should be using binary...

Also make sure you upload your images in binary (not acsii). The IM problem will go away as soon as you go to message admin (the little admin tools key located on the IM screen) and save. I gotta fix that.

Hey Ted!!

Whats the odds of seeing a Web-App Deluxe based on 0.9.9.2.x?

Problem fixed.. I found the solution in another forum.

Had to edit "upload.cgi" and "ugupload.cgi"

A sample of script to change:
*******BEGIN HERE
if(open(OUTFILE, ">$Data/$filename")) {
binmode OUTFILE;
$filetoremember = $filename;
while (my $bytesread = read($file, my $buffer, 1024)) {
print OUTFILE $buffer;
}
close (OUTFILE);
******END HERE
"binmode OUTFILE;" had been left out of the script.  It is not needed on *nix server, but is required on windows server.

Thanks for your help.

I don't see an advantage in doing that.
If it's security your looking for, WebAPP Deluxe had all, if not more, security features added than the latest cornerstone release at the time.
If it's speed your looking for then WebAPP Deluxe is not a good choice, even though there's no noticable difference.
If it's reliability your looking for, WebAPP Deluxe has 0 complaints of lost data so far. That's not bad considering it's just as reliable as the current cornerstone release.

sounds good...

you got apage in there?  hope its updated ;)

 Re: WebAPP Deluxe Project Help

Apage is included in WebApp Deluxe, I don't know if it's the updated Version as I haven't really looked at it yet, but then it's not hard to update if it's not.

Have a new question, hope it's ok to post it here.

Themes:
I had several themes installed and working in 9.9.2.1.  All themes work great in WebApp Deluxe except this...

WebApp Deluxe has the two column center mod built in. (having newest articles listed in two colums instead of one on main page).  When the themes are applied, all changes are made as they should be, but the second column appears near the bottom of the page below the first column.

I'm sure that this is just a minor change in each individual theme's config files. I just don't know where.

Any Thoughts?

looks like you need to look in the dual-column hack and add it into the themes...

Hi psychlone,
The Apage that comes with FatAPP is not updated. So there's a security risk. Personaly I don't like Apage.
I'm impressed you got SlothAPP to work with Windows.
I'm bewildered that you tried other themes and they work!
The dual topics hack is all in the topics.pl and it seems to not be compatable with some themes.
Like I say that project is a toy to play with and I wouldn't look for much help with it. It's a "what if" kinda thing.

As interesting as web-app deluxe seems...

the only noticeable feature I think is interesting at all is the dual columns hack...

This should be a site-admin settable solution within web-apps core code...

I am thinking a dual and possibly a triple column option.

This could then be set up as "sections" where you can drop a set of dual columns which would show the first set of articles followed by some single articles and possibly followed by a triple column set of short article clips for older articles...

this would make an interesting design possiblility in web-app.

If it inspires one good idea, then it was worth it.

Oh it was worth it!!!
a great concept...  I see no problem redoing it to a fully functional secure version once 0.9.9.3 is out... or 0.9.9.2.3  whatever its released as...
