Un blog inutile de plus...

As I've had some issues reported lately for phpDVDProfiler (mainly compatibility issues with PHP 8.2), here's a new version of the software.

Here's what's been fixed:

• fix: correctly display the favicon.ico and add icons for Android and Apple Touch (#41) (thanks John)
• fix: gallery no longer has an internal error when called directly (#43)
• fix: gallery displayed a warning from time to time
• fix: warnings with PHP 8.2 (#44 and #45) (thanks Sebastian and Udo)

Watch out: the following PHP extensions are needed for phpDVDProfiler:

• mysqli (used for database access)
• mbstring (used for sanitizing filenames, and for converting dates from UTF-8 to windows-1252)
• intl (used for the replacement of the deprecated strftime in PHP 8.1, and when sanitizing filenames)
• gd2 (optional, but necessary if you want to correctly display the thumbnails in profiles and galleries)

If you're using the latest version of PHP 8.2, and use jpgraph for displaying statistics, I've noticed that the latest official jpgraph library (4.4.1) has some issue. If you encounter the same issue, you should switch to the jpgraph version from MiTo Team. It's not exactly a drop-in replacement for use with phpDVDProfiler. Here're the steps to make it work:

• Download the latest release from https://github.com/mitoteam/jpgraph/releases
• Extract the contents of the jpgraph-10.3.1/src/lib directory from the archive to the jpgraph/src folder of your installation.

You can download the archive either from this post, or from Github. As for comments, questions, and so on, I'd prefer if they're all done on Github.

Important information: I don't intend to do any kind of refactoring, developing new features, or anything else. This is just the basic needed work to make it compatible with newer versions of PHP.

Avec le tout frais Dotclear 2.26, un message d'erreur peut se produire lorsque le greffon IWaHa essaie d'accéder à une image ne se trouvant pas dans la médiathèque du blog. Voici donc une nouvelle version du greffon pour corriger cela.

J'ai récemment réalisé que les liens vers des pages aléatoires ne fonctionnait plus sur mes blogues. La raison ? L'installation d'une nouvelle version du plugin `randomPost` effaçait la configuration !!! Voici donc un correctif pour cette grosse bourde, et l'ajout également d'un formulaire pour faciliter l'édition de cette configuration.

After the previous release a week ago, I've been contacted by John who wanted two new features: mediatype banners in the galleries, and the ability to use pre-1970 release dates. When testing, we've also uncovered a few bugs (notably, there was no display when the collection is empty).

So here's a new version with those features and bug fixes:

• new: the mediatype banner can now be forced to be displayed on every media (see AddBannerOnThumbnails in siteconfig.php)
• new: support dates pre-1970 for release date, purchase date, ...
• fix: better handling of DB connection problems
• fix: don't count ignored profiles in added counter during collection update
• fix: the interface wasn't displayed if the collection (or search result) was empty

If you want to use the new feature AddBannerOnThumbnails, there are a few manual steps to take every time you change this setting value:

1. Change the value in the localsiteconfig.php (or siteconfig.php, but you really should copy it to localsiteconfig.php and use that instead).
2. Do a complete import of your collection.
3. Remove all images in the imagecache directory.

Watch out: the following PHP extensions are needed for phpDVDProfiler:

• mysqli (used for database access)
• mbstring (used for sanitizing filenames, and for converting dates from UTF-8 to windows-1252)
• intl (used for the replacement of the deprecated strftime in PHP 8.1, and when sanitizing filenames)

Une petite correction pour éviter des messages d'avertissement quand les images dans la médiathèque n'ont pas de données Exif ou IPTC.

For the past three years, phpDVDProfiler has been running quite nicely on my website. I had to update once the code for PHP 7.4 compatibility (which I forgot to publish...) and recently Sebastian (sebk-666 on Github) opened a pull request for PHP 8.0 compatibility (many many thanks to him!).

So, it's about time to release new version I think, and I've even added a few more things in it:

• support for PHP 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1
• preliminary support for PHP 8.2
• better quality images for the Swiss DVD age system

Watch out: due to the fact that PHP 8.1 has deprecated the strftime function, phpDVDProfile now needs the intl extension to be enabled on your PHP installation. If you encounter the error message "Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "IntlDateFormatter" not found", it means the extension is not enabled and you'll have to edit your php.ini file to do so.

A priori, j'avais dit que je ne mettrai pas à jour ce greffon pour la toute récente version 2.24 de Dotclear, car je n'ai plus d'infrastructure me permettant de le tester depuis longtemps... Mais bon, sur ma lancée, voici quand même une mise à jour du greffon publicCDN.

Avec la sortie toute récente de Dotclear 2.24, une grosse mise à jour du code des plugins est nécessaire. Voici donc la version mise à jour du plugin dcImageMetaExtender.

Avec la sortie toute récente de Dotclear 2.24, une grosse mise à jour du code des plugins (entre autres) est nécessaire. Voici donc la version mise à jour de l'utilitaire de sauvegarde automatique de la base de données.
