September-27, charsets, backup, folding panels and other optimizations - From time to time even well-designed pieces of software ;-) need to be reviewed for optimization and debugging. This week we have improved the support of web character sets, we have compressed backup data, we have introduced folding capabilities to the user interface. Also, the user interface has been streamlined at several scripts, the rendering engine has been profiled to save CPU cycles, and RSS feeders have been enhanced as well.  »

YACS adds security to RSS syndication - We would like to use some specific RSS feed to monitor YACS servers. But this requires at least to authenticate news readers. No problem, HTTP Basic Authentication is supposed to be easy to implement. According to the PHP documentation, you just have to look at two variables to get user name and password. Unfortunately, these two variables will always be empty if PHP runs on the CGI interface. Does this mean that users cannot be authenticated at some PHP sites? No! The solution is to find another way to retrieve credentials into PHP. Actually what is really needed is the support of the mod_rewrite Apache module, and the ability to add some directives into the .htaccess file.  »

September 22 - RSS everywhere, and more - YACS now uses RSS for searches, for server monitoring, for comments, and for full content distribution! Any search request can be transformed as a customized RSS feed, available directly from the search page. The YACS main log has been transformed to a RSS feed as well, to let associates monitor one or several sites in parrallel. The challenge here has been to implement basic authentication to better ensure that only associates can access the feed. Advanced bloggers will benefit from RSS that now include full article content, and from RSS feeds for comments.  »

YACS fully implements the pingback specification - YACS now fully support the http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback, that lets pages be linked remotely. The server part of it is able to receive pingback requests from any server through a XML-RPC call at http://<your server>/yacs/services/ping.php. Yacs will extend the list of related links for the target page, and append one link to the source page.  »

Is there a way to post content by email? Commented on Sep. 3 2004

YACS provides RSS newsfeeds as text/xml, and this is a deliberate choice - As you may know, there is no specific standard to specifically type RSS newsfeeds, but we definitely need to select a solution. I know, this topic has already been discussed many times. No brand new ideas here. This being said, YACS is aiming to be reference code for professional software developpers. And we do have very good reasons to stick with text/xml, and to not use application/xml nor application/rss+xml for our RSS feeds.  »
