New admin panel is here!

[manfred]

Hi

Here is new panel with new functionalities. Maybe you find it useful also. Please send a note if it does not work - only tested with WinXP and Apache.

Installation:
- unzip to your PhpDig folder
- change config.php as follows (replace in language " with ')
$phpdig_language = 'en';

You can add new features easily by copying form sections in index.php and check corresponding value from config.php.

Have fun!

I made a page for this where you can see a picture and download the latest version. I didn't put a download link because you can get the latest directly from main page.

What do you think of this?

Hi over there!

Little bug in admin panel, doesn't work changing language, cause in config.php used double quotes, but trying to change with single.

change in config.php:

$phpdig_language = "en"; // cs, da, de, en, es, fr, gr, it, nl, no, pt, ru

on

$phpdig_language = 'en'; // cs, da, de, en, es, fr, gr, it, nl, no, pt, ru

------

Another one, if server configured to add slashes, changing won't work. To make it work, needs to change file config_set.php:

function replacer($search,$replace){
$search = stripslashes($search);
$replace = stripslashes($replace);
$filename="../includes/config.php";

...



Now it works (for me :) )

[Konstantine]

Won't work corrent untill you make changes in libs/htmlmetas.php, line 5:

$phpdig_language_array = array('cs', 'da', 'de', 'en', 'es', 'fr', 'gr', 'it', 'nl', 'no', 'pt', 'ru');


---
Have a nice day :)

[Konstantine]

in index.php:

code:

<?php
//select list for the depth limit of spidering
for($i = 0; $i <= SPIDER_MAX_LIMIT; $i++) {
print "\t<option value=\"$i\" selected>$i</option>\n";
} ?>

changing on:

<?php
//select list for the depth limit of spidering
for($i = 0; $i <= SPIDER_MAX_LIMIT; $i++) {
if($i!=SPIDER_DEFAULT_LIMIT)
print "\t<option value=\"$i\">$i</option>\n";
else
print "\t<option value=\"$i\" selected>$i</option>\n";
} ?>

Hi

Thanks for pointing these out. You are the first one who has responded in any way!

New version 1.1 is now available from my web page with corrections. And there is some new features added also.

Keep posting any odds you can find :D

-m-

P.S. Charter can you update that attachment - again?!

[Charter]

FYI: Previous admin panel attachments removed - version 1.1 dated 16/03/04 attached below.

[jerrywin5]

Really cool!

None of the "Clean..." buttons or the "Statistics" buttons work for me on Firefox. I love the idea of confirmation though. It would be nice to include delete confirmation when deleting a site from the list of sites. There could even be a check box setting next to the "Delete site" button and you could use JS to use confirmation on deletes based on the value of the check box. That way, users can quickly change the setting based upon what they are doing.

I can see where a ton of other configuration settings could be added as well. Personally, I'd like to see a separate page from the index page for setting configuration settings. Changing settings and managing indexing seem like two different tasks to me. With the addition of even more configuration settings, the index would start to become more complicated.

[ikbenivo]

I'm using the first version. Can you please tell me what has changed in version 1.1?

[manfred]

Hi

Thanks for using my mod. Please see previous posts where is link to my web pages - there is always latest info.

Manfred

[konare]

I just configured it, and I like the changes to the admin site. I will definitely keep it, thanks for sharing it.

[manfred]

Updated version available from here (http://koti.mbnet.fi/manfred/).

This has now new login/logoff system integrated + some other enhancements and options.

Any comments or requests?

- manfred -

[bloodjelly]

Looks nice. You mention this feature: "Allow to dig different sites inside domain" Does that mean it will add 2 sites, e.g. "http://www.site.com/folder" and "http://www.site.com/folder2" instead of truncating the subdirectory?

And a request: a method of spidering faster by running multiple spiders (without conflicts) from the admin panel, maybe using the exec() command. :)

Looks and works gret

Thanks

Hi. Looks cool.
Is there a german version available? I can translate to german. I use 1.2. and submit next week.

search_function.php in admin_panel_1-2.zip shows phpdig Version 1.6.x?

Is it admin_panel_1-2 for 1.6.x, 1.8.0 or 1.8.1?

-roland-

[manfred]

My german knowledge is limited to Rammstein and Nina Hagen - not enough in this case?!

This admin mod is only for version 1.8.0 and those files are directly taken from version 1.8.0 zip. You can see a version mismatch also in PhpDig html documentation which is for 1.6.2.

M

[ChadK]

What does "Allow sites inside domain" mean?

[manfred]

It means that spider can jump between different sites if it remains under same domain e.g. www.domain.com and intra.domain.com can be spidered but no www.domain.org.

Never needed this one (it is basic phpdig feature and also mentioned in documentation) so I hope it works.

M

[manfred]

Updated version available for download in my web page.


- Supports now PhpDig 1.8.1.
- Documentation added
- New parameters added
- plus more...

Please inform if it does not work correctly?!

M

[Charter]

Wow, great! Oh no... PhpDig version 1.8.2 is coming out soon...

[manfred]

Some updates made to support 1.8.2 (still same 1.3 version though).

Changes:
- Now you can adjust spidering speed in four steps: 0, 1, 3 or 5 second delay between page requests! I think this is a cool feature? But remember that you will exhaust external URL bandwidth easily with delay value 0 - it is for local use only.

M

[manfred]

Making a totally rewritten version of this mod. Is there any special requests at this point - those might be added?

Here is a picture of it.

[Charter]

Wow, personally I like this better! Couple suggestions...

make the version number match that of PhpDig (easier for users to follow)
database it based on a new value (value doesn't exist yet) in the config file

If going to database it, I'd suggest a table something like the following:

CREATE TABLE prefix_config (
c_key VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
c_val VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
c_type VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
KEY c_key (c_key)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

[manfred]

Yeah, database driven system would be nice but then I have to rewrite all PhpDig files :( Or how it is possible to redefine all variables which are in config file? Storing and changing those at database is not a problem.

Here is a sneak peek version for you forum members before I post it in the web page.

Is this menu system better than the earlier?

I like the admin interface very much.

I found a strange thing: once I put 'Delay between page requests' at zero, I can't get it to another value anymore.
Has this line:
$delay = 0;
in robot_functions.php something to do with it?

[manfred]

It is a bug in admin.php. Here is corrected version, just overwrite the old one.

Glad you like it.

Does it work now as supposed?

M

[Spider]

It works! Thank you.

[Charter]

>> Yeah, database driven system would be nice but then I have to rewrite all PhpDig files...

Hi manfred, maybe I'll try to see if I can get the config databased in the next release. :D

[manfred]

Can/shall I do something to help you? Are you planning to include better admin panel with this new release? Can you use mine mod as a starting point?

BTW Include a automatic checking/update feature - I have a script for that already?!

[ChadK]

When I log into the admin page I get:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/ckovac/public_html/phpdig/includes/connect.php:37) in /home/ckovac/public_html/phpdig/libs/auth.php on line 134

[ChadK]

Forget that one.. found some spaces after a ?> that was causing it..

But now I have a problem when I submit anything from the new admin screen I get an error about not being able to find the file "config_set.php"

[hula]

To use it add these lines to your template:

<style type="text/css">
a { text-decoration: none; }
.phpdigHighlight { color: <phpdig:highlight/>; background-color: <phpdig:background/>; font-weight: bold; }
</style>

I was unsure what file to add it to so I left that part out of the new admin panel install. Works fine still as far as I can tell
However I would like to know what file to add this style to so I can have (the full package)

Oh and thank you all developers/moders/everyone involved
phpdig gets a major :dance: from me.
Hula

[ChadK]

This rocks

[manfred]

I have almost finished next version of this mod. New feature will be database related. You can backup, optimize and restore the hole PhpDig database by single click or just some tables.

Here is a picture of the GUI.

[manfred]

New version is now ready for download at my home page. It was a bit tricky to get it work correctly but should be ok now. Zlib support is needed for backup because compression must be used to reduce file size.

It would be nice to know about performance issues when altering big databases.

What next - who knows? Ideas?

manfred

[funsutton]

Manfred,

your admin panel rocks. I really like it alot. I am however getting one error message when I am cleaning dashes:

Cleanup dashes
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phpdigdeltext() in ...public_html/search/admin/cleanup.php on line 176

I added the ... in the place of the actual directory structure.

Thanks,

I get these error messages when trying to acces the "Configuration > Database" page:

Warning: opendir(./backup/): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /./admin/db_main.php on line 139

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /./admin/db_main.php on line 142

Manfred, your admin panel is lot more functional then the one supplied with PhpDig. However, it also produces lots of PHP-warnings. They don't affect functionality but can be quite annoying. Just set error_reporting to E_ALL and you'll see what I mean. I hope this will be fixed in the next version. If you wish I can send you modified "warning-free" files.

Warning: closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /./admin/db_main.php on line 158

Just create "/phpdig/admin/backup" directory


Cleanup dashes
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phpdigdeltext() in ...public_html/search/admin/cleanup.php on line 176

Add the following line to "cleanup.php" file (near other includes):
include "$relative_script_path/admin/robot_functions.php";

Hi, just realized that on line 491 and 492 there is a small mistake

<input type="radio" <?php if(LINK_TARGET=="_top") echo("checked"); ?> name="replace" value="_top" /><?php phpdigPrnMsg('results_new'); ?>
<input type="radio" <?php if(LINK_TARGET=="_blank") echo("checked"); ?> name="replace" value="_blank" /><?php phpdigPrnMsg('results_same'); ?>

it should read

<input type="radio" <?php if(LINK_TARGET=="_top") echo("checked"); ?> name="replace" value="_top" /><?php phpdigPrnMsg('results_same'); ?>
<input type="radio" <?php if(LINK_TARGET=="_blank") echo("checked"); ?> name="replace" value="_blank" /><?php phpdigPrnMsg('results_new'); ?>

results_same and results_new has been mixed up.

Topaz

[manfred]

All of the above issues should be solved now and some new features added. Figure those out and be happy.

-m-

[manfred]

Previous version (1.8.3c) was full of bugs, please update. New settings added to spider and search parts also.

-m-

[vinyl-junkie]

Where can this be downloaded from? :confused:

[xperienss]

i guess you can get it form http://koti.mbnet.fi/manfred/

@Manfred
is your admin panel working with version 1.8.4 ?
thanx a lot

[vinyl-junkie]

Thanks for the link. I haven't tried your admin panel at all so I don't know if it will work with 1.8.4. Plus, I haven't fully implemented 1.8.4 yet (it's still on my test server). I have a lot of custom changes that I just need to verify work before implementing.

I will download your admin panel and try it on my test server and let you know.

[bforsyth]

I'd be curious to see if anyone has this running on 1.8.5 before I install it (I just upgraded and that was enough anxiety for one night!)

[jmitchell]

and does it work for version 1.8.6?
