[OT] Content- user management, publishing
Hello! I don't know a better place to discuss this, please tell me if you know (mailing lists preferred). Here at ETH Zurich (swiss federal institute of technology) we want to build a daily online journal. One of the suggestions (mine) is to build it with perl. It should be based on XML, and the idea is to make also the authoring / workflow / content management / user management parts of the system web based. The content should be modular: pictures, text, audio etc. should all be independant content elements with their own history, preferably with possibility to spawn children from parent elements (i.e. original picture and derived lower resolution pictures). For publishing, several elements should be composed together. Another non-trivial part is a good user- and group or role based user management. Suggestion for Text markup is a (pod like) plain text markup which is converted to XML for storage, with the possible option to fully go with XML when editors are really ready. For publishing of the articles I'm planning to use in some way AxKit (source should be taken from database), and Mason for the administration parts. Now maybe that's a bit a big project - I don't even really know yet. (My estimation for the whole project is 280 days of work - I'm hoping to solve this with 5 programmers until the end of november.. never done something that big :-(). Now what I would like to know: - is anything like the mentioned things already existent? (mainly: database based content management system, and something of a sophisticated user management) (We would probably even pay for it if that matters) - are things like these in the interest of other people, too? (Some weeks ago, in the discussion about templating, someone mentioned Zope and that perl should have something like that...) Would it be possible to get together and build such parts as open source? Preferably in a good modular fashion so more people can profit from it.. Maybe someone of you knows Vignette Storyserver? We have the option to get the source code of a Storyserver based online journal - although it requires modifications, and it's not XML based yet. So an idea is also to port this (TCL code) to perl, and reimplement required Storyserver functionality in perl. Any comments on that? (I don't know Storyserver yet) The reason for not using Zope, OpenCMS or Enhydra, is a) I don't know them really :-(, b) some downsides are visible when looking at these solutions (i.e. Zope's user interface seems rather sub-optimal for use by journalists, especially as long as it's html based). (And we haven't succeeded to get OpenCMS to run until now) Thanks for any comments!

Since the "offline" version of the script did work as expected, I simply plopped it into ASP to show off this weirdness. I don't know why this doesn't work for you, but I can check it out later if it still isn't working and no one else posts an answer. thanks Dmitry

See http://www.camworld.com/cms/ for an overview of a few of them. The only perl ones I know of on that list are MediaSurface and Interwoven Teamsite. Both are horribly expensive (though maybe cheaper than your 280 programmer days). Mason has a CMS, which Linux Journal just did a write up all about.

We would _very_ _much_ appreciate funding or manpower for the project. We have strong long-term goals for the project, not just something we want to dump in the open source community. Mail me direct if this is something you're interested in doing, and we can talk business off the list. Maybe someone of you knows Vignette Storyserver? We have the option to get the source code of a Storyserver based online journal - although it requires modifications, and it's not XML based yet. So an idea is also to port this (TCL code) to perl, and reimplement required Storyserver functionality in perl. Any comments on that? (I don't know Storyserver yet) Don't do it. StoryServer's architecture is not focused towards XML like AxKit's is. And thats a huge undertaking (trust me from someone who is working to port a product to perl from another language).

Apache::SSI Date formats
Apache 1.3.12, mod_perl 1.24, Apache::SSI 2.13, Date::Format 2.08
I've had problems with date formats in Apache::SSI.
The behaviour of mod_include is to apply the !--#config
timefmt='%d-%m-%Y'-- configuration directive to all date formats.
Apache::SSI does not seem to be applying the format. Examining the code
led me to think that the Date::Format module wasn't being loaded correctly
so I added a use statement to the top of the code (since I use these
functions all over the place, there seemed to be no benefit to delaying
the include).
Now Apache::SSI was throwing errors indicating that I was passing the the
wrong datatype (wanted an array and not an array constructor).
I fixed the _lastmod sub to provide the required array (see patch below).
Then I found that !--#echo var='DATE_LOCAL'-- didn't work either.
Looking at the code again, a time format didn't seem to get passed. So I
fixed up the echo_DATE_LOCAL sub to format the date.
The patch below includes both these patches but my questions are:
Is there something else wrong which I should fix before changing the code
?
If the SSI.pm code does need to change, am I doing it the right way before
finishing the other subs ?

Simon Wilcox

Apache::Icon SIGHUP does not read directives

mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c

running on Linux 2.2.14 with Perl 5.6.0
The only mod_perl module loaded is Apache:Icon. (httpd.conf is attached to
the end of this message)
When I first launch httpd, Apache:Icon reads and processes all of the
autoindex directives.
However, if I SIGHUP the running httpd root process with,
'kill -HUP httpd-root-pid'
I get the following in the error_log file:
Syntax error on line 11 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.dev:

Note that this is a valid directive and that it works fine on the initial

Re: XML::XPath in APache::ASP - doesn't work

(BTW, it doesn't appear to be documented in XML::XPath) and the output
seems identical for both the ASP and the "offline" versions of the

Well, I traced it down to XML::XPath::XMLParser::parse_attlist not been
called by Expat under Apache (the traces are included below), which results
in IdNames array not been populated. Before I start debugging XML::Parser,
can anyone hypothesize why this might be happening (I'm running XML::Parser
v2.29)?
Thanks

Re: Apache::Session and performance question
Hi again to the list, I went back through the documentation on Apache::Session, Apache::Session::DBIStore, and Apache::DBI, and I haven't found a problem in the way we have implemented this.

After going through the handler and commenting out parts and benchmarking (rinse, repeat), Apache::Session appears to be the culprit. I can't believe that the use of this module should have so great an effect. We have to be doing something incorrectly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. You are using Apache::DBI, right? Going to the database on every single request is going to be expensive.

Just to correct things here, Mediasurface is only Java in the client editing front end bit, which should be good (better than a HTML UI, and cross platform too) but it turns out that it bites big time.

Re: [OT] Content- user management, publishing
On Mon, 28 Aug 2000, Christian Jaeger wrote: Hello! I don't know a better place to discuss this, please tell me if you know (mailing lists preferred). Here at ETH Zurich (swiss federal institute of technology) we want to build a daily online journal. One of the suggestions (mine) is to build it with perl. It should be based on XML, and the idea is to make also the authoring / workflow / content management / user management parts of the system web based. The content should be modular: pictures, text, audio etc. should all be independant content elements with their own history, preferably with possibility to spawn children from parent elements (i.e. original picture and derived lower resolution pictures). For publishing, several elements should be composed together. Another non-trivial part is a good user- and group or role based user management. Suggestion for Text markup is a (pod like) plain text markup which is converted to XML for storage, with the possible option to fully go with XML when editors are really ready. For publishing of the articles I'm planning to use in some way AxKit (source should be taken from database), and Mason for the administration parts. Now maybe that's a bit a big project - I don't even really know yet. (My estimation for the whole project is 280 days of work - I'm hoping to solve this with 5 programmers until the end of november.. never done something that big :-(). Now what I would like to know: - is anything like the mentioned things already existent? (mainly: database based content management system, and something of a sophisticated user management) (We would probably even pay for it if that matters) - are things like these in the interest of other people, too? (Some weeks ago, in the discussion about templating, someone mentioned Zope and that perl should have something like that...) Would it be possible to get together and build such parts as open source? Preferably in a good modular fashion so more people can profit from it.. http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=00/05/27/2137208mode=thread ActiveState are going to put Perl support into Zope. http://www.zope.org/Wikis/zope-perl/FrontPage Maybe someone of you knows Vignette Storyserver? We have the option to get the source code of a Storyserver based online journal - although it requires modifications, and it's not XML based yet. So an idea is also to port this (TCL code) to perl, and reimplement required Storyserver functionality in perl. Any comments on that? (I don't know Storyserver yet) The reason for not using Zope, OpenCMS or Enhydra, is a) I don't know them really :-(, b) some downsides are visible when looking at these solutions (i.e. Zope's user interface seems rather sub-optimal for use by journalists, especially as long as it's html based). (And we haven't succeeded to get OpenCMS to run until now) Thanks for any comments!

But I won't exclude anything if it happens to be long. -- Drew Taylor Vialogix Communications, Inc. 501 N. College Street Charlotte, NC 28202 704 370 0550 http://www.vialogix.com/
Re: HTML Template Comparison Sheet ETA
Hi Drew,
I'm the one who volunteered, and then I went on vacation for a 2 weeks.
I have decided I will have a bare minimum draft done within a week. And
then, as Matt suggested, people can just send
suggestions/corrections/additions and the document will grow. When I
have a draft, I'll post it to the list.
I'm new to this list, and I'd like to make a small contribution to the
HTML Template Comparison Sheet.
I've been using Text::Template for some time now, and I really enjoy using
it because 1) it's fast, 2) it's small, just 28kb and 3) it uses Perl as
scripting language.
From the author's words:
"When people make a template module like this one, they almost always
start by inventing a special syntax for substitutions. For example, they
build it so that a string like %%VAR%% is replaced with the value of
$VAR. Then they realize the need extra formatting, so they put in some
special syntax for formatting. Then they need a loop, so they invent a
loop syntax. Pretty soon they have a new little template language."
"This approach has two problems: First, their little language is
crippled. If you need to do something the author hasn't thought of, you
lose. Second: Who wants to learn another language? You already know
Perl, so why not use it?"
That's a great concept. Anyway, I have tweaked the code a little, now
allows you to to make expressions like this one:
? foreach $name (@names) { ?
Name: ?=$name? P
Job: ?=$job{$name}? P
P
? } ?
Notice the ?=$variable? construction, It's the only "magic" that you
have to know. If you already know Perl, the code is much cleaner than the
HTML::Template counterpart, which would be something like this:
TMPL_LOOP NAME=EMPLOYEE_INFO
Name: TMPL_VAR NAME=NAME P
Job: TMPL_VAR NAME=JOB P
P
/TMPL_LOOP
Futhermore, with Text::Template you can access methods and modules
directly from the templates. For instance:
? my @emp = main::sql("select name,job from employee"); ?
? my @emp = $employee-list(); ?
The only problem with Text::Template is that it fails on taint checks.
However, because this module is very flexible, I believe that it's easy to
fix it by "untainting" the template before parsing it!
If anyone is curious about the Text::Template module, take a look at the
author's homepage at: http://www.plover.com/~mjd/perl/
Best wishes,
Nelson
