installation time --> nice user experience and cleaner look (by hiding
exotic prefs by focing them to a usual value):
- settings returned from settings hook can contain values for keys
'default' or 'forced'
- if settings hook require part of api or application, which are not
available during installation time: use a method hook (instead of
an old $app/inc/hook_settings.inc.php file), and check if
$hook_param['setup'] is true
- default prefs created so far in setup/admin_account.php got removed
- common prefs in preferences_hooks::settings() got reworked to set
default and forced prefs
- calendar prefs in calendar_hooks::settings() got reworked to set
default and forced prefs
--> I will rework prefs of all our (default) applications according to a
best practice list of Stylite consultants
- using 'only_if_exists' for 'is_world_writable'=>false check, to cope with doc symlinks under Debian, which are not included in open_basedir (gave file does not exists error and stoped check)"
Patch is mostly created by script in egroupware/doc/fix_depricated.php in separate commit.
I do NOT advice to apply this patch to a production system (it's commited to trunk!), as the automatic modified regular expressions have a good change to break something ...
- cleaned up exceptions in cli code (no need to log, as it goes direct to the user)
- regarding small rpm redirect header (< 200 bytes) as no header
- fixed wrong detected vars for cli install (eg. webserver_url)
- fixed egw_cache to not stall if system_charset is not yet in db
- add feature to allow apps to choose to be automatic installed on
updated: $setup_info[$app]['autoinstall'] = {true|'1.x.xxx'};
- run default_records.inc.php (if exists) also for apps without tables,
as they might need to initialise some stuff
- make update a separat setup-cmd-object
- fixed handling of egw_exception_wrong_userinput, to not include a
trace (which is unneeded for regular input-validation)
- set domain as first argument, to select the right domain in header include
- allow to give 1-dimensional arrays on command line (like php does it with urls, eg. 'config[name]=value')"
- fixed handling of session_save_path() returning nothing (was stalling the PEAR check AND failing)
- removed not longer necessary constants (defined now in common_functions.inc.php)"
- caching the phrases in new egw_cache on Tree level
--> a good speed improvment on my devel system
- also added a global function
check_load_extension($extension,$throw=false)
- check and give error message if perms could not be changed
- added sudo feature to file preferences allowing to get VFS root access
+ setup config user/password can always be used
+ further eGW users can be configured in setup >> configuration
--> allows eg. to create free folders in the vfs root
--> should be used with caution and respect to users privacy
- added file preferences icon to opened directory (eg. for the root dir)
- exceptions get now always logged to the error_log
- in the webgui it's now configurable, if the message contains a
stacktrace (incl. function arguments) - default no (security)
- command line interfaces get detected and contain no html anymore
- webdav and groupdav send the exceptions as basic auth realms to the
client
- webdav and groupdav login failures contain the reason as part of the
basic auth realm
- removed include_root (is now always identical to server_root)
- removed mcrypt_version (not relevant to todays php versions)
- replaced session_type with session_handler
- look is now a bit more like setup and eGroupware itself
--> updated header-version to 1.29 forcing everyone to update
1. filesystem (default)
2. database (problems with files > 1mb)
3. custome set via filemanager/cli.php mount
--> If you can only access the docroot, you can use 2. AND set the files
directory to the path for temp. files
- new feature allowing apps to specify with index-page and icon to use
--> allows to install sitemgr-link icon without an extra application
(which was a symlink and got lost in every version upgrade)
NTLM SSO removes Windows users on a PC, which is a member of a Windows
domain and who are logged into that domain, from the need to explicitly log
into eGW. They simply point IE to the eGW URL (eg. http://domain.com/egroupware/)
and start working. They can of cause explicitly log out and log in as an
other user.
For more information look at the README at
http://www.egroupware.org/viewvc/trunk/phpgwapi/ntml/README
2. different authentication for SyncML and/or GroupDAV
You can now use eg. an external auth provider for the login via the
WebGUI (eg. ADS) and the passwords stored in SQL for SyncML.
