Texts, texts, texts...

Hi all,
These days I was writing texts for my site (about 6 pages). Then I have translated them into English (English is not my native langiage as you can guess). The next step will be - to give the texts to professional translator for proof reading.
Now my nearest task is to integrate texts, design and layout of my site.
Then I should integrate it with Plimus payment system. After that I will need to deploy my site and test, test and test it....

Some significant enhancements

Hi,
I have made some engancements that I hope will user to make his work easier. There are:

1. Now user can take content not only from text editor but from Internet too. That is he or she can indicate URL and content will be taken from this url.

2. User now can indicate a some label or identifier for every node. And then insert it into the link where the doc is opening from. When user click this link the given node will be opened not default one (first).

3. User can edit the title of window with docs.

4. Some refactoring have been made. Particularly, I am gradually moving from prototype library to ajax.net.

5. I have wrote some texts for site.

Security and other issues

Hi all,
Thinking about the last bug with JavaScript I unexpectedly have discovered the serious problems with security. That is I was doing last days. In addition I have wrote the license and fixed a lot of little bugs with css and appearance.
By the way that JS bug I have solved mentally too. It remained only to sit and write the code.
Moreover! I have started to practise typing in blind method.
The nearest tasks are: some enhancements in Control panel, then public web site.

Bugs, bugs, bugs....

Hi all,
Today I have fixed some small but ugly bugs. As result I have now one new big and very nasty bug... but let's go step by step. The bugs that have been fixed:
1. Bug with guid. If I replace guid in request string by some letters the big error occured
2. When a project has many nested nodes I can't delete this project
3. Now tree I load through string in aspx file - it's a little faster (it's not bug, it's a feature :))
4. The style for tree was always default
5. The nodes has urls that doesn't work

Result: The adding and editing of nodes is broken! A-a-a-a!!!
Ugh... let's look aside and solve this problem a little later...

Security issues

Hi all,
Yesterday I have spent time to create good security barriers. Just now I can't say what the result is, but I hope something secure works well. Moreover, I was doing the projects panel to control the web doc projects: create, delete, edit accordingly the account (this issue requires additional revision).
Now the prohects panel looks like that:


The K-Meleon was added to the list of supporting browsers!

IE aborted and in search of good design

Hi,
yesterday I was solving the awful problem- sometimes when I worked with IE 6 (just IE 6!) the strange error occured - IE showed me the "red-cross error" with text "Internet Explorer aborted". Digging in Internet I had found the advices how to solve this problem. I had deleted all the JS scripts from the body element and it such as helped...
The rest of free time I was searching the good design. It was very hard task because there a lot of design sites in Internet but most part of them are only affiliates and they copy the content each from another. Finally I have retirned to the http://www.4templates.com/ - the site I liked most of all. I wanted to find the suit template based on CSS but I failed and I'm going to buy the simple but striking template based on HTML and tables. I think I can change it later. What template you want to know??? Have patience.... =))
Yeah, I almost forget to say about a registrator. I have created the account on http://www.plimus.com/ and they suggest to free integration theirs payment system with my site. Ok, as soon as the site is ready I will use your offer.

Authentication ... to be continued...4... that's all!

Hi,
Finally I have done the all features of authentication. The problem with last error was that I at first forgot to set up the membership for recovery password control. And I had to pesswordRecovery= false in web.config if I wanted to use the hashed password. I tryed to use just encrypted password bit I didn't like the idea to use the open keys in web.config.
Moreover I have done the change password control.

Authentication... to be continue 3... and other routine

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time and strengths to make the aithentification and validation on the forms where it needs:
1. Login form (checks if the user is activated)
2. Activate form
3. Some enhancement of register page's design
4. Validating everywhere...
huh!
And the last trouble I have is .... "You must specify a non-autogenerated machine key to store passwords in the encrypted format. Either specify a different passwordFormat, or change the machineKey configuration to use a non-autogenerated decryption key."
It's because I tried to use only the encrypted password instead hashed. And what should I do now? I don't know yet.... just now I want to sleep...

Authentication ... to be continued...2

Hi all,
I continue to do the authentication module. It turns out that it's not so simple yo provide the proper registration, login, activating etc. even if you use memberships and other tools.
No my user can register, get confirmation letter (doesn't work locally =(( ) and activate his/her account.
The nearest tasks:
1. to provide the login for the registered userd.
2. And I should restrict all the pages for unregistered users.
3. And to add the code to the every page checking if the user can see this page.

And I have bought the domain name! What? Know later...

Money spent: 9 euros

Authentication ... to be continued...

Hi,
I'm continuing to deal with login and register pages. Today I have added the captcha control into my register page and I add new user to the member role. And now user should select the country and enter his/her first and last names. Now I should add the checking of inputted symbols - they should not contain "danger symbols" as <, > and so on.
