Lost comments

Posted by Eugenio on 1 Mar 2005

Hi all,
I realized that all the news comments disappeared.

Unfortunately my ISP can't provide the backup I need; anyway I have got almost all the old posts from the google cache, and maybe I'll repost them.

I don't know if this is due to a bug of the news management system I use (cutenews), but if someone has intentionally deleted the posts I just want to say: thank you, good job man, you are a true hacker...woooow...

Back to Italy

Posted by Eugenio on 6 Jan 2005

Hi all,
my vacation has finished, I arrived yesterday in Italy after a 30 hours trip....as you can see, DaDaBIK has arrived also in Australia.

I don't know if there are any DaDaBIK australian users over there, just want to say that Australia is really a wonderful and unforgettable place, and one of the best place to forget about PHP & c. for a while :-)

Bye,

Next release of DaDaBIK

Posted by Eugenio on 18 Dec 2004

Hi all,
DaDaBIK 3.1 rc1 will be available in the first months of 2005.
I thought to release a new version during this week but I then realized that the authentication class we are using is too difficult to integrate in DaDaBIK maintaining our code style.
I've decide to rewrite that part of code.

DaDaBIK 3.1 rc.1 will:
- store user data in a database (encrypted passwords)
- manage the users table (e.g. insert, modify and delete users) with DaDaBIK itself
- have the possibility to use a pre-existent customized users table (useful if you want to share DaDaBIK users with other applications)

I'm going to take a vacation, I'll leave for Australia on Monday, so I wish all DaDaBIK users a merry Christmas and a happy new year :)

Bye,

DaDaBIK and italian open source contest

Posted by Eugenio on 7 Dec 2004

Hi all,
the new release of DaDaBIK (3.1 rc 1) should be available in the next week.

In the meantime, if you appreciate and enjoy DaDaBIK, I ask you a favour: take a minute to vote for it in the italian open source contest (www.opensourcecontest.it). DaDaBIK is one of the 10 selected projects in the business category and now needs your vote :)

The site is only in italian, but voting is very easy:
1) you have to register (email, first name and text in the picture should be enough)
2) and then to vote DaDaBIK for the category "Business (Database, Office, System Integration)" using the code you will receive by e-mail after registration

Thank you :-)

Bye,

DaDaBIK 3.1 beta released

Posted by Eugenio on 19 Jul 2004

Hi all,
DaDaBIK 3.1 beta is available.
The main improvements:

• A new select query engine, that fixes the problems related to multiple references to a linked table and the multiple use of the same field name. This should also increase DaDaBIK speed.
  
  
• A basic authorization model: it is now possible to allow a user to delete only his own records, modify only his own records, view only his own records. For the authentication the class simpleLogin (http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1492.html) has been (probably temporary) used, but it is possible to easily customize the authentication.
  
  
• A new field type is available: rich_editor; it is a rich text editor (htmlArea 2.03 by interactivetools.com http://www.interactivetools.com/products/htmlarea/) that allows to easily insert/modify HTML content
