I could not log in to my webmail. I kept getting the error

ERROR (2): Header may not contain more than a single header, new line detected. (/path/to/webmail/inc/inc.php:156)

I am running Uebimiau version 2.7.10 and there is a bug in the file inc/inc.php. You need to change

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. Header("Expires: Wed, 11 Nov 1998 11:11:11 GMT\r\n".
  2. "Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n".
  3. "Cache-Control: must-revalidate");

to this

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. Header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
  2. Header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");

The secret is the nm function. For the moment, lets just say you need the command nm -g /path/to/library.so|grep " T "

Connections Theme and CSS Style Sheets

Posted by Richard under Configuration , Software
No Comments 

I've been playing with the connections theme by Patricia Müller. There have been several minor changes,

index.php

Moved Links into sidebar.php

header.php

Limited archives to current month so that menu does not wrap

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. <?php get_archives('monthly', '1', 'html', '', '', TRUE);

Added drop down menu. Wrapping all list items within <form> </form> declarations prevents drop down menu appearing on a separate line.

PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  1. <ul id="topnav"><form id="archiveform" action="">
  2. ...
  3.     <li>|
  4.     <SELECT NAME="archive_chrono" onchange="window.location =                         (document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono[document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono.selectedIndex].value);">
  5.     <OPTION SELECTED VALUE="">Other months...</OPTION>
  6.     <?php get_archives('monthly', '', 'option', '', '', TRUE); ?>
  7.     </SELECT>
  8.     </li></form>
  9.     </ul>

Reorder from Home, Login, Archives, Links, About, Contact to Login, About, Contact, Links, Recent, Archives, DropDown

sidebar.php

Moved Links from index.php
Changed order of elements from Categories, Monthly, Pages, Search to Search, Categories, Links, Monthly, Pages
Changed Links from unordered list to table so that I could centre graphics

PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  1. <table><?php get_links('-1', '<tr><td align="center">', '<hr></td></tr>', '<br />', TRUE); ?></table>

styles.css

Added definitions for table

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. #sidebar table
  2. {
  3.         list-style-type: none;
  4.         padding: 5px;
  5.         margin: 0;
  6.         font-size: 0.9em;
  7.         padding-bottom:3em;
  8.         background:#F3F6ED url(img/sidenav_bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom;
  9.         border:#E1D6c6 1px solid;
  10.         border-top:#f3f6ed 1px solid;
  11. }
  12. #sidebar table tr th, #sidebar table tr td
  13. {
  14.         font-size: 1em;
  15.         text-align: center;
  16.         background-color: #ffffff;
  17. }

Note that in order to define the <td> element, I needed to define the whole tree table tr td. These definitions are based on those for #sidebar ul.
Added definition for select so that drop down menu fits within the top menu

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. #topnav form select
  2. {
  3.         font-size:0.7em;
  4. }

search.php

Removed bug for favicon. Path was was /favicon.ico/bullet.ico

PLAIN TEXT
HTML:
  1. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
