Got a Christmas present for the brave... an alpha beta release of what will become v4 of pm's. It still needs bug testing, so if you can, please look it over, especially the new admin file and help me bug test it.
https://ubbdev.com/hacks/beta4.zip Note: Do not use these files if you aren't
very familiar with pm's, use the files in our database until we get some bugs worked out of these. To upgrade to these for bug testing purposes, just upload these over your old pm files.
There is a new file in there name privateadmin.cgi. When uploaded and accessed at /privateadmin.cgi?action=admin, it performs the configuration that used to be done to the private.cfg file (at least the upper half of that file... This is the first step towards making pm's to where you just upload them to your cgi-bin, configure from your browser, and run them... should cut down on install errors...
OK, things that need work:
- It builds the private.setup file ok when you submit the admin file. But when you re-access the admin file, your previous choices do not show up... really needs to display present choices and if there are none, display the defaults... I have attempted that at the top of the file, but it is missing something...
- need a way to build the "private" directory and chmod it to 777 so that step will never have to be done by manually again, will cut down on a major amount of install errors.
- need a setting that will make code buttons optional from this admin file...
For an example of what it looks like:
