Well I pushed more changes to the live site. Most of the changes are trivial:
Worked on database abstraction, so it’ll be ready for mysql improved functions.
VCards for contacts is now in line with standard set by linux.ie/vcards code.
Blank article comments won’t be saved to the database.
All library functions are now commented in ‘PHPDoc’ style.

Site Update
Saturday, March 26th, 2005FireFox in the News[paper]
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2005Must say I was very happy to hear at ComputerBank in Melbourne today that there’s very good coverage of FireFox and a few other OSS projects in ‘The Age’ today; so much so I picked up a copy and read the article for myself.
Lovely stuff.
linux.ie 19-February to 17-March Changelog
Thursday, March 17th, 2005Here’s a summation of changes made to linux.ie website system since my update of the site last month.
News Search Engine
The title of a posted item has been made a part of the search criteria.
Not all pages of search results are displayed at once – only about twenty at a
time.
Link to Who’s Who pages has been fixed so that there are no problems with
apostrophes in the names, O’Bryan for example.
Details of edit are shown.
News Archive
Each year of archives, For example /news/index.php/2005 now has links for each
month of that year. eg /news/index.php/2005/01….
Added Donncha’s link to all postings to the version in CVS.
Editor

Surname are included properly in the vCard and a version number is supplied.
Improved SQL injection detection.

If session isn’t secure when user tries to download vcard file containing
details of all users then redirect to the login page.

are required.
User Record creation and registration
