Dspace and Geology

Posted on January 12, 2005 by Wesley Wright

Spent a lot of time today mucking around in Dspace, trying to get it
ready for a big influx of images from Geology department…

  • upgraded to Dspace 1.2.1Beta4
  • added new collection
  • tried various combinations of authorization settings

    Think I’ve got it all figured out. Now gotta delete old collection, and
    remember how to run my import script

    Fixed this, fixed that

    Paul Bierman asked,

    "Don’t mean to be a pest, but I am wondering if you can add the ability to search by LS# to our advanced search text string? I am teaching an on-line course these next 10 days and the students have been asking to be able to do this?"

    fixed it.

    Rob Rohr noted "Great article for the newsletter. I suspect this summary doesn’t include downloads initiated by employees in the School of Business Administration. Our abbreviation in LDAP/PH/Registrar databases is "Sch Business Administr’n" and the apostrophe is causing havoc in the SQL INSERT that occurs after I download a file. I get my file, then I get an error message in the SQL statement. Perhaps you might wish to escape the apostrophes beforecommitting the data to your tracking database."

    fixed

    WordPress Update 1.2.2

    Posted on January 5, 2005 by Wesley Wright

    WordPress Update 1.2.2 broke my login again, but it seems to be a
    result of one my database value substitutions. I replaced home value with http://www.uvm.edu/~waw/wordpress/?Page=. . When
    wordpress tried to define constant COOKIEPATH, it used the above
    in a regular expression that stripped off the http:// , but not the
    ?Page=. , yielding /~waw/wordpress/?Page=. Neither
    Firefox nor Safari accepted that as a cookie path. The fix was

    /Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/vars.php, line 176

    # waw/uvm mods 2004-01-05
    # 2005-01-04 define('COOKIEPATH', preg_replace('|http://[^/]+|i', '',
    get_settings('home') . '/' ) );
    $patterns=array('|http://[^/]+|i','|?.*$|');
    define('COOKIEPATH', preg_replace($patterns, '', get_settings('home') .
    '/' ) );
    #print "get_settings('home') ".get_settings('home')." COOKIEPATH
    ".COOKIEPATH;
    # waw/uvm mods 2004-01-05

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ------------
    That fixed, login’s “lost password” function was broken in what appears
    to be a wordpress error. $wpdb->users is undefined.

    /Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-login.php, line 115

    # waw/uvm mode 2005-01-05
    # 2005-01-04 $wpdb->query("UPDATE $wpdb->users SET user_pass =
    MD5('$user_pass') WHERE user_login = '$user_login'");
    $wpdb->query("UPDATE $tableusers SET user_pass = MD5('$user_pass')
    WHERE user_login = '$user_login'");
    # waw/uvm mode 2005-01-05

    and also in
    /Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php, line
    1384: SAFE MODE doesn’t allow 5th param to mail function

    # waw/uvm mod 2005-01-05
    # 2005-01-04 return mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $more);
    return mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    # waw/uvm mods 2004-01-05
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ------------

    Finally, I put this in to fix some problems I was having fitting
    comments boxes in the UVM template

    /Volumes/homes/public_html/wordpress/wp-comments.php, line 74
