WiFiDB Alpha 0.16 Build 4
Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2009 10:36 am
I just wanted to get a message out, that Build 4 is just about ready, but with going to New Jersey till Wednesday i wont have much time to polish off a few last details.
a few of the changes that have been made since 3.1
1-> Added Daemon Generated KML exports. Details here.
2-> Fixed some HTML mode issues. KB385
3-> Fixed some issues that relate to WiFiDB running on a shared server host.KB385
4-> Forgot to remove a mysql_error() function from a verbose statement, in the update portion of the import_vs1() function
5-> Added Daemon Console Viewer.
6-> Fixed the issue with some tables in the 'vistumbler' theme where not centered.
7-> Fixed an issue with the user stat page, where the second AP import list was not showing up.
8-> Fixed an issue with the daemon where it would not start to import a file if said file was uploaded when the daemon was in the middle of an import.
9-> Added Daemon Generated KML History page, along with a link to it in the main menu.
10-> Made the output log and pid file for the daemon vars in the config file for the daemon.
11-> Disabled fields in the daemon section of the install page, if the daemon is not going to be used.
12-> Disabled the submit buttons on the Exports page if there is no imports/APs in the database.
13-> Extended `title` and `user` fields to 255 chars.
14-> Fixed a bug where the time was severly off in some cases, in Andrews instance, UTC said it was 01:11 (real UTC was 00:56), also local [-5] was reported as 21:11 (real time 20:40)
15-> Removed the "This is just a test" line on the import page after an import with the daemon enabled.
Things to finish before the release:
1-> Auto Detect if the clients time is using DST or not, and also the Timezone that the client is in, to calculate times off of the Databases UTC based time.
2-> Sort the Historical Exports on the Daemon Generated KMZ page.
As a note, if you have wifidb in a folder that is not at the root of your server, you will need to add that folder name to the end of the HostURL var during the install.
i.e. http://www.randomintervals.com/wifidb/ is the $hosturl value, and the $root value is demo, so the full URL would make http://www.randomintervals.com/wifidb/demo/
if you do not have a setup like this you can just leave the hosturl as http://www.randomintervals.com or what ever your domain is.
Then also on the WWW server I am moving the wifidb code to a folder inside of the WiFiDB folder called demo. The root of wifidb will now be a details page about the Database, with links to the Production Demo, Andrews Official Instance of WiFiDB, and my Development server (RIHQ)

2-> Sort the Historical Exports on the Daemon Generated KMZ page.
- a-> Add time of last update for the Current Update.kml File.
b-> Separate out the newest KMZ file from the historical ones.
