01:48 freakynl are tables that start with index_ important or are they search indexes or something that can be recreated?
08:35 menak hi

09:10 PiMB hi
09:16 Bluespuke morning
09:43 paese how can i access the page header (h1) in another gifbuilder object that is not a child of lib.stdheader ?
09:43 paese i need the header in a separate picture
10:09 jbaptiste_j greetings
10:09 jbaptiste_j I'm thinking of buying a book : Mastering Typoscript: by Danuel Koch, is it good ?
10:15 freakynl hi i need some help. i'm maintainer of the webhosting and after some upgrade i ran into issues with one typo3 install. I tracked the bug down to the static info tables (http://www.thxbye.de/typo3/typo3-cannot-re-assign-this.html). anyways i'm not in a position to update typo3. it's still at 3.8.1. I found the extension here: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/static_info_tables/current/ however this version requires typo3 4.0 or higher. can
10:19 fuchur freakynl you really need to update ;)
10:19 fuchur 3.8. is not supported in any means anymore
10:22 freakynl fuchur: i know... that doesn't solve my issue currently. it's not my site and customer has to release a press release on the site. i can advise them to upgrade, but need to fix this first. i'm no typo3 expert and they have over 30 extensions and a custom template. the guys that designed it went bankrupt however, so upgrading will have to be delayed for now
10:22 freakynl anyone have the 2.0.5 version? :)
10:24 fuchur i doubt somone could help you with this
10:25 freakynl no version repository? need little help, just the old files
10:25 fuchur this is like using win 3.11 and saying "i know it's outdated, but i have to get FIFA 2010 runngin by today"
10:25 fuchur ^^
10:25 fuchur mh
10:25 fuchur typo3.org has older versions iirc
10:35 freakynl you'd be surprised how much win 3.11's out there are still running
10:38 jbaptiste_j I met a priest this week end who is still using word 6 in DOS
11:02 PiMB freakynl, maybe try via the ext. manager. I'm not sure if that has an 'update manager' but there it should be possible to download another version
11:02 PiMB at least with 4.x it should.
11:03 PiMB so otherwise you could download the 2.0.5 on another installation and transfer the ext file to the 3.8.1 installation
11:03 PiMB Everybody, we
11:04 PiMB we've got a problem with MySQL, check http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-saving-mysql.html and help out!
11:14 xaver PiMB: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/Oracle-Corporation-NASDAQ-ORCL-1090000.html
11:15 xaver its open source and stay open soure
11:18 PiMB that's good news, haven't seen it yet ;)
11:19 animan hi. anyone knows where rgtabs ext gets its #twrss_table in front of all tabs? the site doesn't validate with multiple identical ID's
11:24 pdg hi everybody
11:26 pdg I've got a strange problem. a http requests with cookies to a fe page needs 7 minutes to load...
11:26 pdg ... without cookies it loads instantly.
11:27 pdg I've spent the last hours googling and experementing but found no solution :(
11:27 iaj can anyone guide me where I have to look to get info about attaching files to mails sent with powermail?
11:29 pdg any hints?
11:29 PiMB powermail manual?
11:29 Prot0 Morning
11:29 iaj PiMB, im crawling through that one:)
11:29 iaj hi Prot0
11:29 PiMB no luck?
11:30 PiMB what info do you need?
11:30 PiMB I usually got no problems with files in powermail
11:30 iaj just how I can for ex. attach a pdf to the mail the sender receives
11:31 PiMB hm, that way.
11:32 PiMB I believe there is a powermail setup for that one.
11:32 PiMB hidden somewhere.
11:32 PiMB maybe check the constants editor of powermail for that?
11:32 iaj Oh you ment the other way around =/
11:33 iaj the manual doesnt give anything about it - thats why I wondered
11:34 PiMB @animan, are you sure that that is because of the rgtabs ext?
11:37 PiMB @ iaj found it!
11:37 PiMB there is a hint how to do this in the setup for powermail in the manual
11:39 animan PiMB, well, it is inside of rgtabs div-s and classes, but i cannot find it anywhere
11:40 PiMB @iaj see http://paste.phlogi.net/-705acb7dbd/
11:41 iaj PiMB thanks man, I'm just trying that one out:)
11:42 iaj sender_mail = the one who's been filling out the form
11:42 iaj correct?
11:42 PiMB I guess so..
11:42 PiMB :)
11:42 PiMB test it, if not change it to receiver.
11:42 PiMB I'm never sure on which one is what.
11:44 PiMB @animan, well basically because it's not located in the rgtabs extensions
11:44 PiMB but in the extension tw_rss, oddly ;)
11:44 PiMB there is a line in that extension that says $content .= '<div id="twrss_table">';
11:44 PiMB So I guess that's it/
11:46 animan of course! stupid me :D
11:46 animan thanks
11:48 PiMB np
11:53 iaj PiMB hmm am trying, I dont need to wrap it with a comma if its only one attachment, or am i wrong??? + is it fileadmin/ or /fileadmin??? since its not seem to work atm
11:54 iaj to be working even
11:55 iaj nvm - only seems to take some hours - but working!
11:55 iaj pimBed!
12:06 PiMB what?
12:06 PiMB what I do/
12:06 PiMB it wasn't me!
12:58 ZaFantasy hi
13:00 ZaFantasy I have lib.some_var = HTML lib.some_var.value ( some HTML code <a></a>) some_var is TV object so its mapped... But on page I dont get HTML from some_var as HTMl but as TEXT. HTML is not parsed. Any tip what Im doing wrong ?
13:12 pmk65 ZaFantasy: Check the DS of your TV template, and see if there's a <HSC> tag, if that is set to 1, set it to 0.
13:13 PiMB Hey guys,
13:15 Bluespuke hey PiMB xD
13:15 PiMB I need some questions you can ask a phpdeveloper to check reasonably fast how good he is.
13:15 PiMB or can become.
13:15 PiMB anybody a suggestion to what somebody needs to know?
13:16 ZaFantasy pmk65, this was it :) Thanks!
13:16 Prot0 ;]
13:16 Prot0 ask him if he knows OOP
13:16 Prot0 (assuming it's a he)
13:16 ZaFantasy pmk65, and what m easn HSC ?
13:17 PiMB , rule 30; there are no women in IT
13:17 Bluespuke PiMB: ask for the difference between == and ===, many 'developers' doesn't even know about ===
13:17 PiMB true
13:17 PiMB and the difference between ++i and i++
13:18 Bluespuke yeah
13:20 Bluespuke dunno what level of developper you attend PiMB but OO in PHP is nice to know too
13:22 PiMB not necessary that he/she has it now.
13:22 PiMB good to know if he/she can get to that point though..
13:22 Bluespuke embedded loops?
13:22 Prot0 make someone explain a piece of code
13:23 Bluespuke sounds great too :^p
13:23 nkuttler good luck with php coding and not knowing ===...
13:24 nkuttler 0 == false == null etc is fun in php
13:24 pmk65 ZaFantasy: HSC = HtmlSpecialChars. If set it converts all HTML tags to plaintext (&gt;, &lt; etc)
13:27 PiMB i'll cook something up for him.
13:28 PiMB let's see if he's good enough
13:28 Prot0 ;]
13:28 Prot0 give him the TYPO3 pillow
13:28 Prot0 see what he does with it
13:28 PiMB so he can cry himself to sleep?
13:30 Prot0 it least you can see if he has affection with it xD
13:30 PiMB :)
13:30 PiMB true.
13:30 ZaFantasy pmk65, thanks
13:31 PiMB i'll let him debug a bit, but first do a define(TRUE, FALSE)
13:31 PiMB see what he does
13:49 freakynl is there a list somewhere of extensions / code with issues with php >= 5.2?
13:50 freakynl PiMB: no offense, but your questions appear crap to me... i'm a system maintainer i don't develop. did some mirc scripting and perhaps 1 or simple one page php things and i can answer both your questions :P
13:51 schbracke hello! has someone got experiences with mm_forum and the private messaging plugin?
13:56 PiMB freakynl, then you're hired
13:56 PiMB ;)
13:56 PiMB it actually is crap, and I do have some other ways of testing people. but it's still a bit of trial and error to find right people.
13:57 PiMB some people may look like they are good, but actually all they're good at is copy-paste
13:58 freakynl whoohoo :) do you mind if i have to look up basically every function :P it's been a while haha
13:59 PiMB nope
13:59 freakynl do you have people for hire for updating typo3 here somewhere? have 3 3.8.1 installs with custom templates, a lot of modules and issues on php 5.2.6 with suhosin patch
13:59 PiMB if you know what to look for, and where, you should be good
14:00 PiMB and you should be able to come to Rotterdam ;]
14:00 freakynl PiMB: yea in php it's doable. once read the language syntax for C++ (which is probably why i can answer your questions :)) but didn't have time to read the whole pile of linux c++ api's hehe
14:00 freakynl <- breda :)
14:01 PiMB welcome
14:01 Prot0 :]
14:01 Prot0 more dutchies here
14:02 PiMB thought we where the only dutchies here
14:08 freakynl not today :) hope to be done soon tho' had to upgrade the server due to some hacks by iskorpitx and now several sites are broken. all typo3. apparently because of php upgrade, did a migration test 5 months ago, still have that server live (w/o any compromised data thus) and have same issues there. it apparently comes from php upgrade. updating the modules only gets me into other issues :/. as i'm no typo3 expert and working all weekend (and actually
14:10 freakynl the old webdesigner of the customer went bankrupt so no help there
14:12 PiMB ennoying
14:12 freakynl does typo3 handle updates from 3.8.1 to 4.3 with custom templates well? i know nothing about the template system
14:13 PiMB but to shed some light on my developer search, I need someone with potential, he doesn't have to have knowledge
14:13 PiMB IMHO that's a pretty big step..
14:13 PiMB not sure if that's without problems.
14:13 Prot0 yes
14:13 PiMB might be better of upgrading to 4.0/2 first
14:13 Prot0 consider taking a smaller step first, 3.8 -> 4.0
14:13 Prot0 dang u
14:13 Prot0 ;]
14:14 freakynl yea wasn't the average script kiddie. did some searching he published a couple of joomla exploits on milw0rm and is mentioned on wikipedia for defacing 21.500+ websites in one shot
14:14 Prot0 lol
14:14 Prot0 nice shot though
14:14 Prot0 for a kiddie
14:14 Prot0 ;]
14:15 freakynl yea ... as usually i can fix the crap. told them to replace that damned server 2 years ago :/
14:15 Prot0 :D
14:29 kinea someone knows a good css-dropdown-menu implementation (suckerfish or similar) with ts or ext?
14:42 pmk65 kinea: http://typo3.intervation.de/snippets/css-menues/suckerfish-dropdowns.html or http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2150
14:43 kinea pmk, yep i found this before. but i was irritated by the the jogs in the menu
14:43 kinea (firefox 3)
14:44 kinea in the example you can see a jog to the right in the submenus
15:00 kinea pmk65: freeCssDropDownMenu seems good
15:00 kinea but thanx for you hint, anyway.
15:51 animan anyone has an idea how to make macina_banners to validate without having to break the "target" parameter compability?
15:52 animan currently validator complains about: 2026ers_pi1%5Bbanneruid%5D=45" target="&BannersId=1&Warning=N" ><img src="uploads
15:52 animan that target part there is fishy
15:56 animan hmm. strange. my html source doesn't show that part at all
16:07 snoy_ms hey all. Whats the best way to implement the typo3temp/pics path ?
16:07 snoy_ms $cmd = t3lib_div::imageMagickCommand('convert', $image.' -resize 173x130 '.$newfile);
16:08 snoy_ms do i have to appand it on $newfile ?
16:09 snoy_ms do i have to use the absolute path ? for example $newfile = absolute_path/typo3temp/pics/md5hash.jpg ?
16:18 PiMB in a FE extension?
16:21 snoy_ms yes
16:21 snoy_ms an own one
16:21 snoy_ms i just try to find out the best way
16:22 snoy_ms $newfile = PATH_site + "/typo3temp/pics/md5hash.jpg" is ok, or ?
16:24 animan use . instead of + to merge strings in php
16:25 snoy_ms ok, but is that path struct ok for an extension ?
16:25 snoy_ms or is there any other way ?
16:25 animan i don't know that, sry
16:26 snoy_ms thanks so far. i take this solution.....
16:27 animan wrie that string to a file or something so you could see what it outputs
16:27 animan write*
16:28 animan $newfile = $PATH_site . "/typo3temp/pics/md5hash.jpg";
16:28 animan perhaps?
16:28 snoy_ms it take that line
16:37 xaver PiMB: any extansion for fe_user to change the password like this: user say password forget, he get a link to set a new password
16:37 Prot0 sr_feuser_register
16:37 Prot0 PiMB is in a meeting
16:37 Prot0 oh sorry
16:37 Prot0 no
16:37 Prot0 not sr_feuser_register
16:38 Prot0 try felogin
16:38 Prot0 its included as a sysext
16:41 xaver Prot0: we have felogin
16:41 xaver and use it
16:41 xaver someone say send a email is to risky...
16:44 Prot0 e-mail with plaintext password?
16:44 Prot0 storing password in plaintext is tricky in general :D
16:49 Prot0 preferably salted
16:50 snoy_ms is there a way to get imagemagick working with an external image ?
16:51 snoy_ms source external, target local ?
16:51 Prot0 copy the file to the local system? (workaround)
16:52 snoy_ms how would you do this within an ext. ?
16:53 Prot0 dunno file_get_contents() or summin
16:53 Prot0 theres prolly a typo function for in the core :)
16:54 snoy_ms file_get_contents() sounds goo
16:54 snoy_ms good
16:54 snoy_ms ist getURL
16:54 snoy_ms but it just returns a string
16:55 Prot0 well
16:55 snoy_ms file_get_contents() is a used method of geturl
16:55 Prot0 yes
16:55 Prot0 so use geturl
16:55 Prot0 and write to a temp file somewhere :)
16:55 Prot0 and read that with your imagemagic function
16:56 snoy_ms sounds also good, have to check how to save it local
19:28 _pedda_ hi there
