Hi,

Could you send me the code that you’ve changed corey@techxplorer.com to see what changes you’ve made? On the face of it looks like a path is missing a “/” at the end.

I’m glad you’re trying the code, and any changes I can make to assist you in you using will be considered.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello there!

I would really like to use this CMS, I’m a massive fan of MultiMarkdown your project looks like it is lightweight enough so that I don’t get distracted when I should be writing!

However, I can’t get it to work. I have a fully working installation of Apache, PHP, MySQL so it must be something I am doing wrong whilst trying to set up your CMS.

After cloning project from github, I renamed the folder “techexplorer”

So, when I try to run the command:
$php build-website.php
I keep receiving the following error message:
php build-website.php
Processing files in the following directory:
./website/content
./website/contentindex.md: No such file or directory
ERROR: An error occurred whilst processing the file
File: ./website/contentindex.md Error: myusername:techexplorer

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Comment on Securing Passwords in Lithium by techxplorer

Hi James,

I think even though our code is different both are functionally equivalent. I guess this just highlights once again that when it comes to code there is no single “right answer”.

Interestingly I didn’t need to do any hashing on the auth side of things. The auth checks just worked, once I ensured that the value stored in the database was always the hashed value.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I’m working on Auth myself and I have run into a few of the same issues. I’m using something like this to filter:

Users::applyFilter('save', function($self, $params, $chain) { $record = $params['entity'];


      if ($record->validates() && !$record->id) {

        $record->password = Password::hash($record->password);

      }
      $params['entity'] = $record;

return $chain->next($self, $params, $chain); });
see https://gist.github.com/1182650
if that didn’t post. The idea is to only hash the password when saving a new record. Also I found myself having to hash again on the login side.

Comment on Gaining Root on an Ideos U8150 Android Phone by techxplorer

@tika

You don’t put the z4root software on the sdcard directly you use the Android SDK to install the contents of the z4root app.

I suggest you read the procedure carefully and if you’re still stuck let me know which step you got up to.
