 | October-28 - Avatars for users, grooming for webmasters - YACS already supported avatars in user profiles. But users had to upload their own images. Now you can share your own library of icons, and let users pick one in seconds. By far more simple and efficient for not-so-high-profile Internet surfers.
YACS is also able to extract some XML from your database. If your boss has asked you to create a smart report out of your database, do not write a specific script for that! Create a regular YACS page to introduce the report, add a table element to encode the MySQL SELECT statement, and ask your boss to use the 'Excel' or 'XML' links to download data to his computer.
About two-third of YACS scripts have been modified because of grooming. Does this mean that you will have to reinstall the whole thing? Of course not. Trigger the update script and let YACS stage new or modified files, activate scripts, and update the database if necessary. If you have not yet play with this powerful feature, this release is the perfect opportunity to do so. » Page published on Oct. 28 2004 In Releases |

| | YACS adds authentication to the Comment API - When posting a comment through a newsreader your web site will basically receive a mail address and a name. This may be enough to report on author information in the comment itself. But this is also an open door to comment spammers. Therefore, YACS extends this mechanism with true poster authentication. » Page published on Oct. 21 2004 In The capability |
| | October-18 - Comment API, MS-Word and Palm downloads, direct uploads, referrals, secret handles, actions and more - YACS now fully supports the Comment API, including the ability to post comments from within the news reader. We have articles/view.php/322 some days ago, and this capability of YACS has been http://wellformedweb.org/news/35.
Most often, owners of files do not care about creating nice web pages. They just want to push files, photos, and images as rapidly as possible. Good news! YACS now supports direct uploads. Previously you add to create a page, and then to attach files. Now you can fire a file, and YACS will create a page for it!
YACS was already able to catch referral information. This new release adds the capability to display this information, and to better integrate any YACS server into the web. For example, while displaying an article you will have a list of Google search requests related to it.
Secret handles are special ids used to reference pages in e-mail messages. They are used for example to let users track on-going queries. In this release we have added the ability to automatically log in people on handle presentation. This means that, from your mail client software, you can click on a link and be authenticated in your browser window. We have saved the tedious login step in-between... » Page published on Oct. 18 2004 In Releases |

| | Actually, YACS speaks both text/xml and application/rss+xml - Some time ago I posted an article .
Well, it looks now that information provided at that time is not complete, and therefore, not completely true ::) » Page published on Oct. 8 2004 In Post your requirements here |

| | [Réglé] Comment utiliser l'authentification HTTP en PHP chez OVH ? - Pour le développement de YACS nous avons souhaité sécuriser, ou tout du moins, contrôler, l'accès à certains scripts PHP. Malheureusement, les environnements mutualisés d'OVH tournant PHP en mode CGI, il semblait impossible d'accèder aux variables globales nécessaires.
Impossible ? En fait, il existe une façon de contourner le problème. Apprenez vous aussi comment faire pour implémenter le contrôle d'accès dynamique à vos pages chez OVH. » File uploaded on Oct. 4 2004 In Machine à café |
| | October-2 - Distributed authentication, Simple Search RSS API and more - YACS better promotes the concept of small sites involved into large clouds of servers with the introduction of authentication services. If you have registered once as Joe at foo.bar.com, and if this server supports authentication back-end services, you will be able to login at any YACS server by providing the fully qualified user name joe@foo.bar.com, and the password as usual.
To design this feature we have selected to reuse the drupal.login XML-RPC primitive as implemented into Drupal. Yes, this means that YACS can authenticate a user registered at a Drupal server.
Also, YACS better implements the articles/view.php/316 on the back-end side. Search requests can now scope either articles, comments, files, links images or user profiles.
In order to speed syndication, we have implemented compression in RSS fetching, and a separate feed has been created to transmit contents of published pages. » Page created on Oct. 2 2004 In Releases |
