[NEW] Keymaster_XH

[cmb]

Hello Community,

I've just released Keymaster_XH 1beta1.

Keymaster_XH facilitates to lock the administration area of a CMSimple_XH webiste, if a user has already logged in. This is necessary, if there is more than one user, who has access to the back-end, as CMSimple_XH's back-end doesn't take any precautions against concurrent editing. To avoid locking the site forever, if a user forgets to log out properly, after a configurable period of inactivity the logging in is possible again for other users.

Keymaster_XH is alternative to LoginLocker--- it is meant to run as smoothly as possible with CMSimple_XH.

Note that I consider neither Keymaster_XH nor LoginLocker a good solution for a multiple admin situation. IMO the core of CMSimple_XH and the plugins should be adjusted to cater for multiple admins simultaneously editing the site. I'm quite convinced, that a simple optimistic locking strategy will fit best.

Hello Community,

I've just released Keymaster_XH 1beta2.

Due to a bug, 1beta1 didn't work for websites which were hosted on subdomains (e.g. www.) This should now be fixed.

Any feedback is welcome.

Hello Community,

I've just installed Keymaster_XH 1beta2 on a server with CMSimple_XH 1.5.6 and PHP 5.2.17. This resulted in a blank screen in edit mode. I was not able to track down the exact source of the error, but it is definitely related to the insertion of $bjs in final_clean_up(). If you experience this problem, just change cmsimple/cms.php line 495 to:

Code: Select all

$html = str_replace('</body', "$bjs\n</body", $html); 

(this fix will be included in CMSimple_XH 1.5.7, so you don't have to worry about redoing it after the next update)
