[isf-wifidog] Upgrading Questions

[Francois Proulx]

For mb_encode_mimeheader to work you need to install php5-mbstring
If you compile you PHP from source --enable-mbstring=LANG . Anyway you need the multibytestring module.

The owner_send_file page will be reworked quite a bit in the next few weeks, all the admin menu will be integrated in a more elegant way with the content delivery system.... We need some time, we're all volunteeers . The content system does not have a real documentation yet, I only wrote a small document explaining the different available contents, what they do and their attributes. I'd like to add it to the SourceForge doc. repository, but I don't have access to it.

Mina do you have access to it ?

See ya

Much thanks on that little issue.  I'm still trying to figure out the
below issue.  In the code there is a comment around this function call

that says the following.

//TODO: Find a way to use correctly mb_encode_mimeheader.  I've commented
out the 2 lines and it seems to work.  I'm really not sure what ISO-8859-1
encoding is, but the validation email seems to come through correctly
without that line.  I'm assuming it's something to do with different
languages and charactersets.  


I'm also noticing that the user_id field in the database is a long
complicated series of numbers and letters.  I'm guessing it's an encrypted
version of the text string.  It makes things difficult when trying to do
tasks as specifying an owner for a hotspot without going into the
database.  

The Generic object editor portion of the interface doesn't seem to be
working correctly.  When I click the add button, nothing seems to happen.

I also came upon another error message when trying to upload hotspot
specific files


http://10.0.1.12/admin/owner_sendfiles.php?node_id=2&action=uploadform

Notice: Undefined variable: security in
/www/htdocs/wifidog/admin/owner_sendfiles.php on line 106

Fatal error: Call to a member function requireOwner() on a non-object in
/www/htdocs/wifidog/admin/owner_sendfiles.php on line 106

The new interface looks very nice.  I'm trying to figure out what's up
with the content manager.  It looks like I've got some reading to do.
