Refactoring edit

Zoph has started its life in the era of PHP3, while the current version of PHP is version 5.3. In between a lot has been changed in PHP. I have started to adopt PHP5-style programming some time ago for new development. I have now also started to refactor the other code to a new coding style. Currently, Zoph still has a lot of global functions and I am slowly moving almost all of them to static methods.

  • Made several changes to function names to accommodate new coding style
  • Refactored photo->update_relations() to merge with the similar photo->updateRelations() that the new import introduced.
  • Moved get_root_...() functions into static functions.
  • Refactor of zoph_table object (now called zophTable)
  • Renamed function photo->get_image_href() to photo->getURL()
  • Made some changes to the delete() methods so PHP strict standards are followed.

Other edit

  • Inline documentation improvements
  • Improved expand/collapse Javascript robustness
  • Some eyecandy (esp expand/collapse)
  • Changed the date and time field to type 'date' and type 'time', which are new types for HTML5. Tested in Chromium.
  • Removed deprecated IMAGE_SERVICE setting. IMAGE_SERVICE is now always on.
  • Renamed image_service.php to image.php
  • Improved loading speed of the 'tracks' page by using a different, better cachable SQL query


Zoph 0.8.3 edit

April 3, 2011

Zoph 0.8.3 is a pre-release for Zoph 0.9.

This version adds several feature improvements, mostly related to mapping. The most important addition is the support for geotagging. This version also fixes several bugs.

Zoph 0.8.3 is beta release, I tested it as well as possible on my system, but it should not be considered a "stable" version. I would, however, very much appreciate if people could test and give feedback on this release and the updated documentation, in this way I can make sure that the stable (v0.9) version will be as bug-free as possible.

Features edit

  • Geotagging support
  • Req#2974014: Search for location
  • Geocoding: finding lat/lon location from city, county.
  • Req#2974016: Additional mapping resources
  • Req#3077944: When adding a new place, or editting a place with no location (lat/lon) set, zoph will zoom the map to the parent location. If a photo is editted, and the photo has no lat/lon, but it's location does, the map is zoomed to the location's lat/lon.

Bugs edit

  • Getting rid of a NOTICE regarding unset DB_PREFIX constant
  • Several small changes to decrease the number of NOTICE messages.
  • In photo edit mode, moved maps to bottom of page, to fix a bug with Openlayers maps
  • Better error handling when UPLOAD_DIR does not exist.
  • Zoph.ini: Added quotes around values, PHP fails if they contain special characters. As suggested by scantron.
  • Bug#3237112: Rating counts are incorrect with new import
  • Bug#3237012: There is no "next" link on the bulk edit page, although a "previous" link is present.

Other edit

  • Switched from Mapstraction 1.x to Mapstraction 2.0.15
  • Namespacing in mapping Javascript.
  • Some changes in templating system
  • Bug#3104632: Various changes for PHP 5.3 compatibility
  • Refactor of zophcode, tag, smiley and replace objects to new coding style, including added PHPdoc comments.
  • Added a copyright note to Openlayers maps
  • Refactor of the admin class & move admin page to a template.
  • Getting rid of some warning messages

Translations edit

November 20, 2010

Zoph 0.8.2.1 is a bugfix release for Zoph 0.8.2.

Many changes were made in Zoph 0.8.2 and with so many changed lines of code, a few bugs is almost inevitable. This release fixes all known bugs in v0.8.2.

Bugs edit

  • Bug#3064940: HTML in dropdown menu's. (This bug was previously fixed in Zoph 0.8.0.5, but the fix was not correctly ported to the development branch)

Zoph 0.8.2 edit

October 20, 2010

Zoph 0.8.2 is the second pre-release for Zoph 0.9.

Zoph 0.8.2 features a completely rewritten import system. The webinterface has been modernized. Error handling and user-friendliness have been improved. The CLI interface prior to v0.8.2 was written in Perl, because the rest of Zoph was written in PHP, a lot of duplicate work needed to be done whenever something needed to be changed in the import system. As of this version, the CLI interface has been rewritten in PHP as well.

Zoph 0.8.2 is beta release, I tested it as well as possible on my system, but it should not be considered a "stable" version. I would, however, very much appreciate if people could test and give feedback on this release and the updated documentation, in this way I can make sure that the stable (v0.9) version will be as bug-free as possible.

Features edit

  • New webimport
  • New CLI-import

Bugs edit

  • Bugfixes from v0.8.0.5 have been included in this release.

Other changes edit

  • Configuration of database connection has been moved from config.inc.php (webinterface) and .zophrc (CLI interface) to /etc/zoph.ini, for both the webinterface and the CLI interface.
  • bin and man directories in release tarball have been combined into the cli directory
  • HTML documentation (docs directory) is no longer included in the release. Maintaining this documentation cost a lot of time. The scripts I wrote to convert the Wikibooks documentation into offline documentation could not handle images and the documentation I wrote for the new webimport contains a lot of pictures.

Zoph 0.8.1 edit

3 Jan 2010

Zoph 0.8.1 is the first feature release for v0.9. This release introduces a new logging system, that should allow users and developers to control more granular which debugging messages Zoph displays, more information can be found on this page. The other major change is that Zoph is now completely UTF-8 based, this should fix issues users had with international characters. This last change requires some manual changes to the MySQL database.

Zoph 0.8.1 is beta release, I tested it as well as possible on my system, but especially the UTF-8 conversion is very dependent on specific situations on your system; therefore it should not be considered a "stable" version. I would, however, very much appreciate if people could test and give feedback on this release and the upgrade documentation, in this way I can make sure that the stable (v0.9) version will be as bug-free as possible.
