  • Is trying to figure out why my attachments system is passing back the wrong ID for uploaded attachments :( It's been working for months…. #
  • Going back in time to when I had the bright idea of using unique edit/delete/etc fam icons for everything so I can slap myself. #
  • @vBSetup Sure thing. Let me know if I can further, but I'm heading off to bed for the night. Have a good one :) in reply to vBSetup #
  • Writing possibly the easiest app for this framework: Lunch Items. It's the calm before the storm: the forms app :( #
  • @tobybarnett Oops, I should have clarified. This is for my work's framework, not IPB3. Although it will end up working mostly the same lol in reply to tobybarnett #
  • @tobybarnett Forms System is still on the list, though. An ever growing and changing list, but still on the list. in reply to tobybarnett #
  • Tired. I woke up and laid in bed for 30 minutes trying to get back to sleep. Decided to do something productive. Tweeting instead, you see #
  • @Putzy Nice job so far on your latest piece of work ;) in reply to Putzy #
  • RT @mattmecham: Sssh. #ipb 3.0.2 and all x.0.2 apps have been released. Don't tell anyone. #
  • Worked out a few kinks with duplicate converge requests in IPC.Drupal. Coming along well. #ipb #
  • IP.Shoutbox error with #ipb 3.0.2 fixed: http://is.gd/25Eqz #
  • I think I broke Drupal… it won't let me log out… #
  • D'oh it'd help if I removed some debugging code I added…. global $user; $user = user_load( array( 'uid' => 38 ) ); #
  • And on that note… IPC.Drupal is pretty much complete. Now to tackle SSO with converge…. oh dear #
  • In theory I just have to tell Converge to not set the cookies itself but pass it to the requesting app… should be 5 min job right? #
  • @mattmecham I thought you'd get a kick out of it ;) in reply to mattmecham #
  • The changes really did only take a few minutes, but I haven't tested them yet. That's where I'll get bitten in the ass :( #
  • Managed to find someone unlucky enough to be IPC.Drupal's first guinea pig. So far no issues (:D) but found a nasty one in Converge >.< #
  • I just signed into IPB and I was signed into Drupal :D Converge finally has SSO, at least across same domains #
  • I knew that was too easy, it seems to be only relaying cookies for the last app it processes lol, not very useful >.< #
  • I swore I'd only make the bare minimum changes to Converge, but I really want to add a request to call upon logout that would log the … #
  • … user out on each converged application. IPB is almost teasing me to do it too, since a login module has a logout callback :o #
  • @Putzy I probably will. The change wouldn't affect apps at all (it would just call their convergeLogOut request). It would honor the …. in reply to Putzy #
  • @Putzy SSO setting though, because I can imagine that could get a bit annoying in some setups. in reply to Putzy #
  • Finding where Drupal determines whether it is installed or not is harder than I thought. Unless I'm going blind… #
  • lol 10 minutes of searching so I could write two lines for the module installer >.< global $db_url;return ! ( empty( $db_url ) ); #
  • This is a beautiful thing, minus the FAILED requirements :( http://is.gd/29rja #
  • Modifying IPB3's Converge log in module to include the logout callback that will ping the newly added request :D #
  • Oh dear… logoutCallback() doesn't know what member just logged out. Looks like it's just used for redirecting? :( #
  • False alarm… it's not directly passed to it but I can grab it hackishly #
  • Writing the logout hook for Drupal now. Logging out from IPB logs you out of Drupal, but not the other way around (yet :D) #
  • Complete single sign on with IP.Board 3 and Drupal 6.x: http://is.gd/29AoC #ipb #drupal #
  • @_mert It's in the first one I did if you want proof :P http://is.gd/29AKA (I forgot to do IPC front end log out in the first one) #ipb in reply to _mert #
  • @Putzy It should be pretty easy hopefully. In theory the logging in part should work but I'll have to hook into each apps logout process in reply to Putzy #
  • @Putzy And convince the devs to add my logout callback function to IPB's converge log in module so people don't have to install it :p in reply to Putzy #
  • Yard work and shower accomplished. About to head to dinner, then I'll see about those other modules :) #
  • Dinner consumed and coffee brewed. Shall I start with Joomla, WordPress, or WPMU? Leaning towards Joomla as it's the least scary. #
  • It's taking TextMate 2-3s to regain focus after I cmd+tab back to it. Quite annoying especially when switching between Safari constantly #
