Wakaba and Kareha support board

'durrr a hurrrrrrrrrrr' huh? How appropriate for 4:20 :P

Anyways, I will freaking PAY someone $20 through Paypal if they can provide FULL instructions on setting up an example multiple-board setup using 'ln' and/or 'lndir'.

Instructions must be posted here to help other users in need.

Because it's not in any way necessary to do this, and because it takes some effort to explain properly including the possible pitfalls. So if you can't figure it out on your own, it might be less of a hassle for you in the future if you don't do it in the first place.

The basic idea is simply to symlink all files that are the same to files to a central install, and not symlink the files you are customizing per board, which usually means just config.pl and maybe some files in include/.

>>24
I don't need any money for this because I agree with you. These people are basically ignoring you because they think they're so high and mighty with their Unix and Perl knowledge :P

I believe this is basically how things would be set up; I can't actually test this myself because I don't have access to a webserver with SSH/shell access atm.
______________________________

UNDER CONFIG.PL: Put a copy of config.pl in each board directory you wish to create. Modify this SQL entry for each board. This way, we only use one database. Say your board was "/cat" - A good way of prefixing in /cat's config.pl could be:

#use constant SQL_TABLE => 'cat_comments';

I don't THINK that PROXY_TABLE needs to be unique for each board, and there is no reason why ADMIN_TABLE should be. Other modifications for config.pl are personal preference.

> These people are basically ignoring you because they think they're so high and mighty with their Unix and Perl knowledge :P

or they realize that there's really no reason at all to do this.
it does make upgrading to new versions of kareha and/or wakaba slightly easier if you know what you're doing, but then you would know how to set it up.

What >>28 said. There is nothing wrong with having full install (all files + database) for each separate board, I ran my site like that for several months. Also, I knew 0 Perl and not much about Unix and webhosting when I started to run that site... You just need some common sense.

so u mean i need only separate sqltable for the comments?!
proxy- & admintable can be the same?

>>30

Yes.

>>27

Thanks mate!

>>27
Thank you, it was very helpful!

i need help! i tried opening an .exe an i got this error message...
does anybody know how to help?

>>797

There are a lot of different formats data might be stored in an .exe file. The Unarchiver apparently doesn't support this particular one. Post an bug on the bug tracker, including the file, and I'll have a look at how hard it would be to add support.

It would be nice if after extraction, not only the archive could be deleted, but also corresponding .part-files which are still on the disc from resumed downloads.

I'm missing an option that would be very usefull: The Unarchiver should ignore the Thumbs_db-files from Windows and not extract them. That would be great.

hello thank you for the software, its great.
it would be cool if you added an option in the preferences to make unarchiver visible in the application switcher and the dock. now i have to modify the info.plist file to make it visible. if i have a lot of windows unarchiver disappears in the background while unraring and only way to find it, to check time status or to find out if progress is finished, is to use expose all windows which im not a big user of since i have tons of windows open all the time.
thanks

A new release, with mostly bugfixes again:

http://theunarchiver.googlecode.com/files/TheUnarchiver2.5.zip

• Fixes unpacking of password-protected Zip files, which was broken in the last update.
• Source can now be built with a completely free implementation of RAR which works for all versions, including multimedia filters, avoiding the non-GPL-compatible unrar license. (There is also better support for ancient RAR 1.5 files.)
• Has a workaround for a Paragon NTFS that made unpacking on NTFS drives generate errors.
• Fixes for Tar and RPM files.

I have also been doing more work on being cross-platform. The experimental command-line unar tool from earlier is now much improved. It actually takes some arguments now, for one. There is also a new too, lsar, for listing the contents of archives.

Both are still far from feature-complete. Most obviously, unar has no way to automatically contain unpacked files in a directory like The Unarchiver does, and it also overwrites files without asking, so be careful with that. lsar also does not show very much information about the files it lists, either.

Precompiled binaries for OS X and Windows are avaiable:

http://theunarchiver.googlecode.com/files/unar0.2.zip
http://theunarchiver.googlecode.com/files/unar0.2_win.zip

The Windows version requires a couple DLLs which are included. I hope to cut down on those later on.

Previous versions of "The Unarchiver" did not use a hidden temporary directory for extracting contents of archives. Somewhere in the 2.x versions the app started to use hidden temp directories. Could this be turned into a user preference? I mean an option not to use temp dirs? I liked the old behaviour, because if I started extraction of an archive that contained only a single large file (eg. a movie :-) ), I could move the file (that is being extracted) around while the extraction was in progress. Now I've to either use commandline or enable showing of hidden files to do that. Or wait til the extraction completes.

Hi,
First off I would like to say thank you for an App that has been reliable every time I've used it. So Thank You!.
I use The Unarchiver on my home iMac, and I use Portableapps.com http://portableapps.com/ when I am on a Windows Unit.
I would like to ask if you would be able to build your unar.exe to sit in the taskbar of windows and if the user was to double click a .zip file it would extract that .zip file to a user defined, layout?.
just as The Unarchiver works on my iMac at home.

To get a very crude version of what I mean..
I used this http://portableapps.com/node/22677 to associate .zip etc to unar.exe and it worked kind of. I had no control over where the file was un-zipped to.

thanks
Ray

Okay, I have a single question. I see to have multiple boards you must install wakaba more than once, but how do you create links to all the boards at the top or on the side like a normal chan website?

If this involves very difficult coding, then I am looking for someone to help me out in their spare time.

>>854
Write it yourself, it's just an html frame.

>>855

Yep, cause if I knew how to do that, I would've done it without asking, now wouldn't I. I don't know how to do that! Besides I've got kusaba now, so If you guys still want to help me, Id be willing to go back over to wakaba, but I just need some help.

>>856
if you don't know how to do that, you shouldn't be running a web site. if you knew anything at all, you wouldn't touch kusaba with a 10-lightyear pole.

how to delete the 1st thread by the user who created this thread himself ,and not effect the following reply ?

In my board, if the user delete the first thread which he've created, all the replies in this thread would also be deleted.this make all discussion disappear.I think this is not a good method.

so,how to setup kareha ?

Thanks all !

>>858
Edit config.pl. Look for "delete".

>>859

thank you very much for answer the question !
Will wakaba and kareha update future ?

>>856
Edit include/header.html. If you don't know how to create HTML links, look it up on w3schools.

And as previously mentioned, Kusaba is shit and a security nightmare.

>>860
I think Waha is pretty much done with Wakaba/Kareha. Updates are normally just various bug fixes.

Just wondering, can this software be uploaded to any free host such as Webs?

>>862
No. The host must have proper support for Perl scripts with MySQL/SQLite bindings. There are (probably) free hosts out there which support these things, but you're better off using payed shared hosting with Perl support. NearlyFreeSpeech supports Wakaba/Kareha just fine and their prices are fairly cheap.

>>118
oh god i hope i forget seeing that before i go to bed tonight. i really don't want to know what kind of nightmares that could cause.

Very nice game! Simple concept, simple -but awesome- graphics, challenging levels, and minimal resources used.. i absolutely love this

I've been doing a little work on a cross-platform SDL version in some bits and scraps of spare time. I'm using the OpenGL code to render the game, of course. But from here, I don't know whether I should be porting the old menu code or just hacking together a new menu. What's the origin/license of this menu code? I couldn't immediately tell. If it's legally unencumbered, I might think about porting it. I've already thrown together a little class to let me render the fonts...

>>121

Everything should be as free as it gets.

>>122

Great. With that in mind, this weekend I started porting the menu code over to SDL/OpenGL. It's not a beautiful job, but it is starting to work. Can always clean it up later. :)

WIP shot shows the main menu pretty much drawing.

>>123

Excellent.

by playing this game every day i will become a super genius

Where to put our highscores?

I'ld like to be able to browse inside of .sitx archives. Any possibility of this happening?

>>76

Is that not working with the newest version?

Xee's been an AMAZING program, but I've been having a lot of trouble lately. I installed a program that would let me open up Zip and RAR files, but after I did that, even though I told it not to be the default program for .cbr and .cbz files, it looks like the two programs started to clash, and now I have to approve every .cbz or .cbr file I try to open. I removed Zipeg and removed and reinstalled Xee, but it still won't work. Instead of the familiar orange icon for these files, I'm greeted with a blank sheet of paper icon. I don't know what to do. Help?

Feature request: click/double click for next pic, when browsing a zip/rar full of pictures.

The ONLY feature I miss in this amazing application, is some kind of "Fit to width", that would zoom the display in order to match image width with window width.
Thanks in advance in considering this, hopefully, very small modification in your code.

This program keeps making itself the default for opening rar and zip files and I don't want it too as it can't unpack them - is driving me a bit nuts. Please help,
Cheers

Go into the preferences, click the Formats tab, and uncheck the formats you don't want to use Xee for.

>>290
Dear Developer: What do you think about my suggestion?

>>292,298
Dear Spammer: Please stop spamming. You'll get a reply if and when WAHa decides to reply, and your spamming is more likely to piss him off and get him to ban you than get him to reply sooner. Also, learn to use sage.

Multi-Touch support？i love in it

Please add the option to use an image as a wallpaper from inside xee.

Hi,
when I browse through pics with Xee, all of them appear washed out (colors look faded). If you open the same pic in Xee & Preview and compare the two, the difference is quite apparent.

Is there a way to make Xee display the pic in normal colors?? Otherwise it's pretty much useless for me.....

Great app! Just discovered it.

2 features would make it perfect for me. A thumbnail view and a tree view of my hard drive contents so I could navigate and click any folder and it would open that folder. Accessing it off the Open menu item is more cumbersome. One I selected a folder it would start showing thumbnails which I could scroll through (assuming enough) and then click one to view that image and then from that image continue forward or backward via your slide show functionality. Esc would take me back to the thumbnails. Perhaps for performance considerations, consider caching the thumbnailed images.

One other feature, right click on an image for a context menu with editor options and rotate options.

>>302
Color profile support is hard to do in OpenGL. Here are two posts from the developer on the topic:

Pretty belated, but just wanted to say I downloaded all of the screen savers on my Intel mac running Mac OS X 10.6.3 and they all work great. Thanks!

>>291

!WAHa, what's the feasibility of this? it would make a good screensaver brilliant.

>>301

Not very. Alpha transparency only lets you let what is below shine through what you draw on top. It doesn't let you distort it, which LotsaWater needs.

OS 10.6.4 : impossible te regulate the dimming option in lotsawater, always black as it was at the "dark position", someone else has the same ?

I'm trying to run wakaba from my win7 system. I've got Apache Perl PHP and MySQL and they seem to be getting along with each other but I'm running into the Error 500 problem which is almost certainly because of my permissions but I made an observation which confuses me.

Why are there html files in the cgi-bin folder and why does wakaba link directly to them instead of placing or redirecting or including that content from HTML files in the htdocs folder?

I know that its some sort of permissions problem but more like an apache setting that I either can't change or I really don't want to for security reasons. Everything in the cgi-bin folder is treated like a server script and not sent to the client but since wakaba puts them in the cgi folder it manifests as a permission problem.

I did find a variable in the internal paths section of the config.pl file that looked promising but I have found that changing the values prevents it from giving me a 500 error but it won't update the html files.[variable called HTML_SELF]

I know I'm doing something wrong but hopefully someone can point me in the rite direction...

>>315
There is no "cgi-bin folder". You are definitely doing it wrong.

>>316
Excuse me but, yes, there is. Dir folder what ever you want to call it, its there. It's part of the default instillation of Apache. You just have to activate it to use any cgi like perl

I'd like to apologize for sounding snippy with >>316. I think i understand what you mean but you could have gone into a bit more detail. there should be no cgi-bin folder because the scripts shouldn't be executed from that directory on the server. since the cgi generates HTML local to the scripts in sub directories if the files are in the cgi-bin folder any referenced files are assumed to be server script and not sent to the client.

that said the cgi has to be in the htdocs folder and the question then becomes how do i set up apache to execute the cgi from there without getting 403(forbidden)/500(permission) errors?

>>318
Right. You don't put Wakaba into the cgi-bin folder, at all. Incidentally that folder is a terrible idea in general.

The example.htaccess supplied with Wakaba is all the configuration you need, presuming Apache is configured to allow .htaccess files. (Rename it to .htaccess)

opps. i had the +ExecCGI on the wrong directory. that fixed it. i think i'm going to write a tutorial on how to get this running on windows for my fellow newbs... heh thanks for the input guys!

>>313
I'm getting this same error.. :(

when i set the permissions to 777 i get a 404 error and when i set them to 755 i get a error: could not write to directory...what do??
