How to include Hubzilla Site homepage to show visitors?

Emanuel

Basel, Schweiz, Thu, 15 Aug 2019 19:36:15 +0200 last edited: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 20:23:37 +0200

In the #Hubzilla admin UI, one can configure the site homepage which one wants to show to visitors (default: login box), where I read as examples:

example: 'pubstream' to show public stream, 'page/sys/home' to show a system webpage called 'home' or 'include:home.html' to include a file.

The two first examples worked for me. I just tried the last example for the first time, without any success. The location of the home.html file which I would like to include is the same as the location of the hub root (In my case "/var/www/html"). What am I doing wrong?

Edit: In order to find the problem, I tried again the first two examples, because the last time I tried them was long time ago. Unfortunately, they don't work neither now. Which means that the old set configuration is not overwritten when changing the setting over the UI. Is this maybe related to an update?

This all works fine for me on the current dev branch and as far as I know the relevant code hasn't been touched in a long time. Sorry I couldn't be more help but I can't see anything wrong at the moment. The question is why you're not seeing the same.

I wanted to be sure and checked in phpmyadmin: Any changing (for example pubstream or include:home.html) of the configuration is saved properly in the database.
The changement just has no effect on the landing page for visitors: When accessing the base url of the server as a not logged in person, it always shows page/info/home, which was my configuration for the last several months. I'm wondering if there is another location where this setting could be stored and which overwrites the setting which is in the database? Or maybe it has to do with browser history and cache? I deleted all history and cache, without any effect. Or is there a lagging mechanism in the software for applying this setting?

Mike Macgirvin

Fri, 16 Aug 2019 23:48:31 +0200

Before this setting was consolidated on the admin page there were a number of conflicting ways to set the landing page, and that's why they were consolidated. There still exists a 'startpage' addon because I didn't want to break any sites that were already using it. My best guess at the moment is that you may have installed this addon and used it at some point and it is now over-riding the admin setting. If that's the case

util/addons uninstall startpage

might clear it up.

Emanuel

@Mike Macgirvin Thanks for pointing to that addon. It is not installed on my hub. See

Is there another way to debug or to find the problem on my hub? Thanks in advance.

Emanuel

Sat, 17 Aug 2019 13:08:40 +0200

@Mike Macgirvin I found the problem. It was indeed a conflict with an addon. I had the addon customhome installed. By uninstalling it, the problem was gone. Thanks again for your help

Emanuel

Sat, 17 Aug 2019 13:16:51 +0200

The include:home.html is always adding a navbar? It isn't possible to include a page without it, like a comanche zen template?

Mike Macgirvin

Sat, 17 Aug 2019 22:52:03 +0200

It's possible but would require a code change.

The relevant code is in

Zotlabs/Module/Home.php

Maybe add an option to the effect of 'replace:home.html' or 'load:home.html' which will print|echo the file to stdout and exit.

I had the addon customhome installed.

Yet another conflicting way to set the homepage. I tried to remove the need for all these addons but I think the problem is that I didn't actually remove the addons afterward. It might be worth revisiting this decision.

Emanuel

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 09:12:44 +0200

@Mario Vavti
As a developper, could you please check if it's best to remove the addons customhome and startpage from the code, in order to get rid of the set up conflicts of the start page (see Mikes comment above)? Thank you

And what do you think about adding an option to the Zotlabs/Module/Home.php in order to be able to load:home.html (to load a homepage without the navbar, see discussion above)? That would be great.

Wie kann ich meine intellektuelle Bescheidenheit trainieren?

Emanuel

Basel, Schweiz, Wed, 14 Aug 2019 11:54:23 +0200

Intellektuelle #Bescheidenheit ist die Bereitschaft, anzuerkennen, dass das, was ich denke oder glaube, falsch sein könnte.
Warren Berger schlägt vier Fragen vor, um die eigene intellektuelle Bescheidenheit zu testen:

Denke ich eher wie ein Soldat oder wie ein Pfadfinder? Während Soldaten Positionen verteidigen, erkunden Pfadfinder neues Terrain.
Ist mir wichtig, recht zu haben, oder zu verstehen? Verstehen ist ein langfristiger Aufwand, der sich aber im Gegensatz zum kurzfristigen Sieg des Recht-Habens auszahlt.
Bin ich offen und auf der Suche nach widersprechenden Meinungen? In Konversationen ist "Sag mir, wenn du nicht meiner Meinung bist, und erkläre mir, warum nicht!" hilfreicher als "Stimmt doch, oder?"
Geniesse ich die angenehme Überraschung, wenn ich realisiere, dass ich mich geirrt habe? Irren ist kein Versagen, es ist Erfolg.

Energie- und verpackungsarme Espresso-Zubereitung ohne Herd

Emanuel

Basel, Schweiz, Wed, 14 Aug 2019 10:45:00 +0200

So ganz ohne externe Energiezufuhr funktioniert auch der ROK nicht. Denn natürlich fällt heißes Wasser nicht einfach vom Himmel, sondern muss zunächst erhitzt werden. So gesehen bringt auch ein Espressokocher, der einfach auf den Herd gestellt wird, die selben Vorteile mit sich. Der ROK allerdings ist flexibler einsetzbar. Er kann beispielsweise in Büroküchen genutzt werden, die über eine Steckdose für den Wasserkocher verfügen, nicht aber über einen Herd. [...] Wirklich preiswert ist diese Alternative aber nicht: Der Espresso-Macher mit Muskelkraft kostet in den Vereinigten Staaten zwischen 160 und 180 Dollar.

Fast immer verbrauchen die Geräte aber jede Menge Strom. Einige der Maschinen lassen sich zudem nur mit Plastik-Pods betreiben, wodurch im Laufe der Zeit viel Müll anfüllt. Beide Probleme auf einmal möchte eine neue Espressomaschine namens ROK lösen. Diese sieht auf den ersten Blick aus wie eine Mischung aus Korkenzieher und ungewöhnlichem Fitness-Gerät, bringt aber einen entscheidenden Vorteil mit sich: Für den Betrieb wird keine Stromverbindung benötigt.

Wenn du Kochspritzer von Soßen, Säften und anderem sofort von den Kacheln und Wänden wischst, können sie nicht antrocknen. Getrocknet verursachen sie zum Teil richtige Schrubb-Arbeit, auf die eigentlich niemand Lust hat. Nach diesem Prinzip funktioniert ganz allgemein die Vermeidung anstrengender Putz-Orgien: Wenn man nur 15 Minuten am Tag die wichtigsten Oberflächen in Küche und Bad kurz feucht abwischt, dann kann man sich viel Arbeit sparen. Zum Beispiel, weil sich im Waschbecken im Bad erst gar keine hartnäckigen Kalkablagerungen bilden können. Natürlich lässt sich 15-Minuten-pro-Tag-Trick auch aufs Aufräumen übertragen.

Not, hubzilla at libranet does not seem to work

Emanuel

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 09:51:01 +0200

right, I was talking about a solution for non-technically inclined people. For example you have a complete artist dossier in a Hubzilla cloud folder, with portfolio, video materials, several dozens of photos and so on. You are embedding the files individually in your hubzilla posts, cards, articles and so on. You are presenting the photos with the Hubzilla gallery. And now, you want to provide a convinient download link for the whole folder to a event organizer who needs all these files to work with it for making advertisement, flyers, ...
Or you are having a temporal collaboration project with 5 people. 2 are having a channel on your hub, 3 are not. You need to have a central cloud for all your project material, let's say 30 to 50 files of different types. You create a cloud for that on your hub, since you don't want to use google drive or dropbox. You create a guest access token for the 3 external people. In order to do their work, each project member needs to download a part of the files (let's say about 20 files). The external people access the files only through Web UI (It seems connecting via webdav client doesn't work with the guest access token)

Daniel

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 11:04:43 +0200

A link can only lead to a single file, so you'd probably need some javascript trickery to active multiple links and get the browser to start downloading them all.
From what I've seen on other platforms, the default seems to be to offer a "download folder as zip" option, which is generated on the fly by the server.
How feasible that is probably depends on the size of the folder, I don't know if zip generation can be streamed or the zip has to be completely generated before the download can start (bad for big folders).
Another option would be to generate a tar (compression optional). The whole definition of a tar is to generate a data stream from one or more files/directories. Though I don't think Windows clients have native support for tar files. Pretty much anything else will probably support it though.

Emanuel

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 11:31:00 +0200

On
/webpages/

, there's a UI for exporting the webpage elements. There, one can individually check which elements one wants to export, or one toggles all elements (choosing on/off). The export there is offered also as a zip format. I think the same UI could be a solution for the cloud. @Daniel, I see the problem with the size of the files. What would be the size limit, what do you think?

Daniel

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 12:40:40 +0200

The size limit really depends on the server generating that zip, wether it can be streamed and if not streamable, the size of the temporary space available on the server.
If streaming is possible, there's basically no hard limit as the download can start immediately and no temporary disk space is required. But the runtime of the php process during the stream could be an issue and possibly the memory requirements, as I believe the directory of the zip file is at the end and thus needs to be kept in memory during stream generation.

Also generating a zip file with one million files can take a long time, even if each file is only 1 byte and could easily cause a timeout.
There are a lot of variables here, so it really depends on the system you're running this on and the type of files.
Assuming it's mainly some decently sized files (a couple hundred kilobytes till a couple megabytes) and reasonable numbers of files (~500), I believe that should be fine on most systems.

Mike Macgirvin

Tue, 13 Aug 2019 23:00:32 +0200

Here's what I can tell you. The software did this in 2005 but that's long before it became a decentralised social project and smartphones didn't yet rule the world.

If you end up with a few videos in the folder (likely in this day and age) you can't use PHP to create the zip (tar, whatever) archive. It will whitescreen due to memory. So you have to use an external shell command to construct the archive. At one time we tried to allow this software to be run on XAMPP (etc.) otherwise I would have done this long ago. That's the primary reason I did not. I think we're solidly *nix only now and a number of things won't work on Microsoft platforms any more and as long as you understand and accept that - using a shell command may be the answer. You should still check for the existence of a zip executable in the path just in case it wasn't included in the distro. Make certain the filelist is generated in PHP and checks for permissions. And then of course you need to buffer stream the resultant file and not try to read it in with file_get_contents(). Since there could be large numbers of these files with different contents (due to different permissions) they absolutely need to be cleaned up after the download finishes and probably after a few hours in case it was aborted. I would probably included a unique hash in each filename to ensure that two people with different permissions downloading the same folder at the same time can't possibly end up with files they aren't allowed to see.

The problem with dav incidentally is that the viewer needs to have a local account. Else they can't authenticate.

For completeness there was once a utility (still in the util folder to my knowledge) which was a cli tool that let's you cd and ls to remote archives (thinking about the dav problem) and cp (download) files. I haven't looked in ages and it probably has bitrot and won't work any more, but one could or should potentially add a download folder command to such a thing. It *might* be easier than the zip file and it *might* exist already. iirc it used the API to do its work.

Hubzilla issue: events with set start time and end time are displayed as all-day events

Emanuel

Basel, Schweiz, Thu, 20 Jun 2019 14:38:36 +0200

Has anybody other than me also encountered this issue? Since Hubzilla update 4.2, a newly created event is displayed as an all-day event in calendar and in the corresponding channel post, even if specific Start date and time and End date and time are set differently to the auto-filled values. When accessing the editing interface in a second step, the Start/End date and time which were set while creating the event are still there. Only by clicking "update" from the edit interface, the set Start/End date and time become visible in both calendar and channel post.

I guess this is because by definition in the month view you can only create allday events. Not sure if i should call it a bug or an UI thing in the sense that we should maybe not show the start and end time fields in month view.

I guess your issue is not triggered if you create an event in the week or day view?

Emanuel

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 16:37:21 +0200

@Mario Vavti True, I tested both creating an event in the week view and in the day view, and the issue is not triggered. That's great!

I agree with you that the start and end time fields then should not be shown in month view.
Maybe my user experience can contribute a bit for your decision-making concerning this UI: The new interface in month view since update 4.2 replaced the input method for Start/End date/time, which was clicking through a pop-up calendar before, and which is now direct text input. I kind of like this replacement when it comes to time input (before, one had to move click-by-click down in the long table with 15-min-step-times). On the other hand, it results in the need of overwriting by hand the auto-filled End date when the date ends on a day different from the following day (On our hub, we have mainly events which end on the same day - like courses). One has to be careful to use the proper syntax for dates which I find not always so easy (it seems to me that one has to know the weekday of that day and the correct abbreviation of the weekday in english...). In short, by not offering date and time input fields at all in month view, it seems to me that all these problems would be gone...
The question remains how to guide a user to switch from month view to the week/day view if he wants to create an event with set start time and end time. Do you think some user guidance is needed? Maybe you have some ideas?

Mario Vavti

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 16:45:22 +0200

I think the calendar library supports to make day- and weeknumbers clickable.
Eventually clicking the day number should open the day in day view and clicking the week number should open the week in week view.
This way one should be able to create all kind of events without clicking around too much.

Is this depending on the browser and/or OS? I tried both firefox and safari on MacOS, I didn't figure out how to do it. So I should be able to drag/drop a .ics-file from outside the browser onto the calendar to create a new event?

Mario Vavti

Thu, 20 Jun 2019 19:20:23 +0200

File drag and drop is not yet supported. You can import a .ics file with the import calendar tool.

Have not tested event draging in MacOS but it works very well in Firefox: click somewhere in the calendar to create the grayed out dummy event. You can see a little handle at the end of the event. You can grab it there to adjust the event end time. To adjust the event start time, click the event and drag it to the required start time. Enter an event title and click create. At this point the event will be saved and inherit the calendar color.

You can also drag and drop the already created event for editing start and end time. Any time changes will be saved automatically this way.

@Mario Vavti How is the best way to create an event which is all-day, but lasts more than one day, let's say two or five days? Edit: The only possibility I see now is creating a one-day all-day event in month view, then switch to week view, then klick on the created event, then click on "more", then edit the text manually, then update
So I just found out that actually, one can drag also all-day events to make them longer than one day, but only at the right side of the event box, not at the left side of the box. (I was trying to drag from the left side, that's why I thought that dragging is not available)

@Emanuel if you need to edit the start date drag and drop the entire event to the new start date. Then drag the event at the right side to adjust the end day (just like you found out).

Danke, aber das sind doch alles Diaspora bzw Friendica Userkanäle? Ich meinte eher so etwas wie PHPBB, Woltlabs oder SMF. Klassische Foren halt als Plattform.

Nein, das sind Hubzilla-Foren. Im Unterschied zu einem Userkanal kann jeder auf der Forums-Pinnwand einen Beitrag (Thread) posten. Ausserdem können die Threads Kategorien zugewiesen werden. Das Durchsuchen des Forums nach Threads ist mittels Kategorien, Hashtags oder Publikationsmonat möglich. Ein Rating der Kommentare unter einem Thread (à la stackoverflow) ist in Entwicklung. Ich nutze einige Hubzilla-Foren mit sehr aktiven Mitgliedern seit mehreren Jahren, und es ist zufriedenstellend (weil die erhofften Reaktionen der Forumsmitglieder eintreffen). Fazit: Der Nutzen von Foren hängt mehr von der Aktivität der Mitglieder ab als von der Wahl der Technik.

Das ist richtig. Dann sollte ich mir vielleicht einmal Hubzilla als Technologie ansehen. Ich nutze ja nur das nackte Diaspora.
