Re: Valid CSS

Hi, I'm glomming on here from a search... I too am concerned about what will happen if I remove this property from the style sheet. Is that really it?? IE users wont get transparent PNGs? Do you use these for anything? or is this just for when transparent PNG images are included in one of the entrie...

True cat-lovers know that they're often thinking the same thing when they look at their masters.

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Garvin, Don... It worked ! I had Smarty templates shut off, turned it back on... That's all it took. The catdepth variable, turns out to be origin-0 (php, apparently is inspired by perl :) ) Here's the code <ul id="serendipity_categories_list" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; pad...

More Info - Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Categor

Hi, A little more information. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the categories plugin. The templates_c/ directory is not updated. The last-modification date is 11/07/09 and remains there after un-installing and re-installing the categories plugin. All indications during this process remaine...

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Garvin, I'm not sure. I'll be a data-collector: The templates_c directory is chmod'd 777. There are php files in there for competition AND for bulletproof. These don't sort well because they have extra codes, but a couple of visual scans do not show any files in there ending in "plugin_categori...

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Don, Oops. Sorry. the extra 'S' on the end of one of those "plugin" names was a typo HERE, not in my recursive listing. I recursively listed all the plugin_categories.tpl files in the /serendipity/templates directory, and then went online and renamed them (put '.ORG' on the end of each nam...

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Hi again. Well, that didn't go anywhere. I've looked up and down the serendipity/templates directory. I downloaded the entire templates directory and recursively dir'd for plugins_categories.tpl. Then renamed them all at the server with a '.ORG' tacked on. The blog still runs, and still displays the...

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Don, OOPS! P.S. Question: Is the depth variable you mentioned earlier ... (is the root 1 or 0)? Thanks. That should do it (going to try it now). I'm using "competition" (originally had a coffee cup in the banner). I don't see a plugin_categories.tpl in there so (?) that means I modify the ...

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Garvin, That is very cool! Question: Can I generalize this? That is: Is there a variable that tells me what level a given category is in? example: {if $plugin_category.depth == 0} /* if it is at the root */ ... the usual code ... {else} ... do nothing ... {/if} (note: I don't know PHP so I'd appreci...

Re: Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Thanks Garvin. I think I am trying to turn a screw with a hammer. You explained how clicking on a given super-class will show everything that is in the classes below them (I'll call it a "roll-up" feature like in project management software). Using your example: Groups: (these are purely t...

Security Advice needed, re: Group vs Category

Hi. Now that I've done a clean install from your download files, I'm finding your blog software really cool, easy to use, and easy to configure. Thank you for a great product. Advice I can offer so far to other newbies. Using that easy-peezy-lemon-squeezy control-panel install from your hosting prov...

Re: Noobie Question: 403 on "Check & Save" configuration

Garvin, Got it working without need to go to the hosting service. The mod_security rule is just a standard reg-X. A big ugly one, but still just a reg-x pattern. Take care now. -stosh Those rules are HARSH, even for regular forum-authors (especially if they're writing about web development. This thr...

Re: Noobie Question: 403 on "Check & Save" configuration

Garvin, Thanks for the quick response. I will put in a ticket. Some background: They are primarily a DNS provider and --while their hosting service is very good (fast, etc.)-- I have gotten the distinct impression that their support staff is primarily trained to provide DNS help (which, btw, is exce...

Noobie Question: 403 on "Check & Save" configuration

Hi, I selected your software from within my hosting service's control-panel and installed it from there. The install went fine, but now I am unable to use the Admin screens to change configuration: Serendipity Administration Suite-->Administration-->Configure I get an expandable list That includes: ...
