Downtime of Siteseed.de

Siteseed.de was down for a short period of time during christmas holidays.

The bug fix is related to mysql connection loss with PHP 4.3.10. Maybe you've notived the downtime of siteseed.de. It looks like only the CGI version of PHP is influenced. I think the reason is related to the usage of undocumented features. The bufix was to assign mysql ressorces to a dummy variable (as simple and stupid it sounds, it's true). The backoffice was involved in some cases, too. For fixing it I decided it's sufficient to just do a reconnect here. Performance shouldn't be a backoffice issue. Make sure to have backups available before patching.

Loss of DB connection - Influenced files:
$/include/db_connect.php
$/bo/include/db_connect.php
$/bo/object_edit.php
$/bo/interfaces/index.php

FCK Editor FCK Editor (http://www.fredck.com/FCKeditor/) is now available as Siteseed Module and can be used to replace the current visual editor. It's an external module, because it's licenced under the GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL).


$php$ Macro The $php$ macro allows to execute PHP code in layouts. A set of PHP macro functions allows to access data of all other conventional macros quite easily.


Component Types The current siteseed release offers features not yet covered by the official documentation. One of these features are component types. They e.g. extend comon editor fields by predefined default content and a lot of other things.


Sitelib Documentation Sitelib is a library that encapsulates code that is often used in siteseed interfaces. This includes mainly database queries in order to achieve a higher level of abstraction and to be more independent of possible database changes in the future. This article explains all library functions and provides examples for their proper usage.
