Debian is a very good distrib. Actually, I think it’s the best one.
But sometimes it’s need of stability keeps us on old versions.
so here are the instructions to update PEAR php.
1 2 | pear update-channels pear upgrade-all |
Done !
Update PEAR to the latest version
Update PEAR to the latest version
Update PHP to the latest version on Debian Lenny
Update PHP to the latest version on Debian Lenny
It’s easier than you think.
First you have to add the dotdeb packages to the /etc/apt/sources.list file
1 2 | deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all |
if you want the php 5.3 branch, add these lines instead
1 2 | deb http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all deb-src http://php53.dotdeb.org stable all |
You have then to install the gpg keys :
1 2 | gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key 89DF5277 gpg -a --export 89DF5277 | sudo apt-key add - |
(remove “sudo” if you’re already root)
Then do :
1 2 | apt-get update apt-get upgrade |
Here you have, the latest PHP version (5.2.14 or 5.3.3 at this moment)
New Theme for PHPDocumentor
New Theme for PHPDocumentor
This time my post will not be about my WPBB SSO plugin but about a template for PHPDocumentor.
Last week I installed a Continuous Integration server (What a pain ! After trying Cruise Control and Sonar, I can tell that Hudson is the best of the three) and in this process I had to install PHPDocumentor to generate my documentation.
As the base themes didn’t satisfy me, Ihad to look for other ones and I found two :
The first one is pretty cool, based on the ExtJS library and really easy to use.
The second one is an evolution of the first one without frames (I hate frames) and this time coded with JQuery.
But the second version dropped the tabs…
What my version offers :
- Tabs, added with jQuery UI Tabs
- Some icons used from Famfamfam’s Silk icons pack
- New look, as a mac user … I like OS X design…
- Cleaner interface
I didn’t add the ability to search like in the first version, but I will add it when I need it.

The code is provided as is, I created it for my own use and publish it in case someone would need it. Enjoy ;-)
Install
To install it it’s easy. Unzip the folder and copy it to the phpDocumentor folders.
for me it was :
1 2 | /usr/share/php/PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/Converters/HTML/Smarty/Evolve /usr/share/php/data/PhpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/Converters/HTML/Smarty/Evolve |
I had problems when I put the file only in one place.
Then to use simply type :
1 | ./phpdocumentor/phpdoc -d './phpdocumentor' -t '/var/www/html/docs/' -o HTML:Smarty/Evolve:default -s on |
Last news on PHPBB Single Sign On
Last news on PHPBB Single Sign On
Hi to everybody !
It’s been a long time !
I just wanted to tell you all that I didn’t forget that many of you are waiting for new updates on my plugin “PHPBB Single Sign On”
I’m not here to tell you that there won’t be any new version !
But now, I’m on a very big project that will be released in beta version in august, and I’m the only developper on the project.
Just to give you an Idea of how big the project is, at the very beginning we started it with drupal. then we started to add all the plugins we needed : maps, geolocation, facebook connect … and BAM ! the www folder weighted … 100Mo !!!
for a web project, that is very big (on my advice)
But we took the decision to code it all by ourselves.
It’s a lot of work. but it’s a lot more optimized, and a great advantage is that I know EVERYTHING that is in my code !!!
Even if I like WordPress, And I use Drupal at work, I still prefer “Home Dev”.
So, I stop the parenthesis here.
That’s just to tell you that I will still be supporting my plugin in the future, and I hope one day to have the version 1.0 out !
(If someone wants to work with me on the plugin, send me a message through the contact form with your email, I would be happy to have someone else with me on this :D)

New Support Forum
Hi to all,
Five Months ago, I published the PHPBB Signle Sign On Plugin.
It’s now time I use it on my own website.
As you may have noticed, I made a new design on the website for the occasion.
So now, Instead of sending me an email through the Contact form, or replying to a post.
You can directly post a new topic. isn’t it amazing ?
The reason it took me so long to publish this forum is because I had a conflict with a plugin.
I had to replace it by another plugin to make it work.
But now it’s waiting for your feedbacks ;-)
Hosting
Hosting
It’s official, Onigoetz.ch is doing web hosting now !
The server I use now has some free space and performace, so why not make it useful to everybody?
It’s in this idea in mind that we launch this hosting service.
The advantage over other services is that the scripts are executed with the server’s username (php-su) which guarantees the best security.
Most of the php functions are activated, although “mail()” is disabled for security reasons, but you can still send your e-mails through SMTP.
The e-mail part is provided by Google Apps (or any other external service if you want to)
The reasons of this chois are :
- Best security
- 7 Gigabytes per mailbox
- Good Webmail
- Mobile Sync (iPhone, Windows Mobile)
- Imap / Pop3
- Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Spreadsheets
The details of the offer is available on this page : http://www.onigoetz.ch/en/hosting/
The offer is as follows : there is a base offer with the possibility to add some space.
The first offer begins at 35 CHF/year with one gigabyte.
Then, every gigabyte is 5 CHF/year
for example : hosting with 5 gigabyte = 55 CHF/year

New version of the Single Sign On Plugin
New version of the Single Sign On Plugin
Hi to all !
It’s been a long time !
I’ve been busy on an exciting project these days. I’ll tell you about it as soon as it is released.
But let’s talk about the main subject of this post : The new Single Sign On plugin !
This new 0.6 version took me many hours to get it to work.
The new functionnalities are :
- Bugfix : Captcha problem if the user makes 3 errors in his password in phpbb (reported by Ramon Fincken http://www.ramonfincken.com/)
- Bugfix : op_userexists function doesn’t exist (patch proposed by Brian Pan)
- Bugfix : Blank user creation when logging in the first time from phpbb (Brian Pan tracked down the bug and I made the little fix)
- Added options to the control Panel
- Now Compatible with Onepress, totally new function names.
Again, the Control Panel was redesigned a bit.
Now You have the installation instructions that are integrated within the configuration panel.
When the module isn’t correctly configured, you have an information bar on the top of the admin. (like akismet)
So you won’t forget to configure it.
Some functions didn’t work correctly and there were a few glitches. Now it’s much better.
For the next version : Compatibility Tester
This function will check if all your plugins are compatible with phpbb.
And this, no matter if you created a new plugin yourself.
It’s a dynamic function that is not based on a static list.
See you for the next version

Eccstender.org – Take Control of your CSS
I wrote a post about bad CSS support last month, presenting some workarounds for older browsers.
This time it’s another way of doing it that I will present to you.
Aaron Gustafson Author in A list Apart and many other blogs and webzines.
Created a sort of “browser plugin”. presented in the form of a Javascript script.
It will parse the CSS in your page. and apply the styles that are not supported by your browser.
Even better. you can create your own extension. This means you can create your CSS rules as you want.
No more problems with browsers, and we hope the community will quickly create some new extensions to CSS.
First, to support CSS3 and then to support some new ideas.
My Contribution will be a new WordPress plugin. As you understood, I love WordPress for it’s plugin abilities. And I’ll create many new plugins these next months.

WordPress Single Sign On with PHPBB
WordPress Single Sign On with PHPBB
Long time ago, I tested a plugin which made possible the connection between PHPBB and WordPress.
This worked very well and I was happy with this solution.
But one day, the version 2.8 of wordpress showed up. and the plugin didn’t work anymore.
I don’t remeber when it was, something like february.
But these days I was angry. The team of the original plugin didn’t release a new version of the plugin that was working with wordpress 2.8.
So, I was determinated to create thsi plugin by myself. I read many documentations in the WordPress Codex. Many Tutorials and other websites.
In 20 days, I got it working again. but for my own use, and I made many ugly modifications to the source of phpBB.
I didn’t know that there was no official plugin anymore. When I saw it last week. I knew that I could make the new plugin.
And now it’s done. The plugin is in the official WordPress repository here : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/phpbb-single-sign-on/
Or you can search for “phpbb single sign on” in the admin area of your WordPress blog to add it.
Don’t forget to run the installer and to set the path to phpbb.
The phpbb folder has to be within the wordpress folder, preferably in “forum/”.
You need to add the slash at the end of the path.
For support, you can send me a mail with the contact form or just post a comment.
A support forum will be created soon (with this new plugin ;-))
P.S. the contact form had some problems lately. they’re corrected now, I ask to the person who sent me a message to send it again. or I won’t be able to answer them.
IE 6 is evil, but we have to support it.
IE 6 is evil, but we have to support it.
We (by we I mean all web developpers) all know that Internet explorer is a real nightmare for web design and developping.
Everytime that we make a nice effect or a nice design. It turns out that IE 6 doesn’t support it.
For a little example, who tried to create a position:fixed element on a page. and gave up because he didn’t want to put some javascript in his page?
Yeah I know, that’s scary. By the way, put down your hand, you look idiot by raising your hand behind your computer.
But that’s enough !!!
The guys from Virtuosi Media made a Best Practices Guide for IE 6.
A guide that helps to avoid the most commons problems of this browser.
