The server was very unstable since last month...

I removed mod_gzip that was the cause of this instability and installed Zend Optimizer instead.

Apparently, things are better than it was.

We'll see o­n the long run.

pnc[UserPoints]-0.15 now available.

o­nly big change is the Error logging in the core plugins and the 3 given plugin with the pack.

For all plugin dev, please see the plugins to see the differences between the new and old o­nes.

Basically, when a query fail, there is a register_error func to add and an unregister_error at the end if no problem was found.

Have fun !

One of the biggest problem of the pncUserPoints is the lack of effective error management. I did some change in the mod so if there is an error, it is shown like you can see it in the block and in the mod page itself.

Although it will not be necessary (as the mod will still work when there is no error), all plugins will need a change to use the error function.

This is mostly to get rid of the annoying unexplicit ERRMSG message that doesn't show anything and to help plugin devs to have a better view of what could be wrong in their sql query.

I create 2 errors o­n purpose (Downloads and PNphpBB2) so you can see what I'm talking about.

I'll clean this up and pack it up this weekend.

Have fun !
Chestnut !

P.S. : It's getting itchy to move the mod to the pnRender, I'd like your opinion o­n this. I know there is many features people wants to have but is it worth it if the mod itself is in  a deprecated coding... and hard to manage coding wise.

I forgot to remove a hardcoded mail in o­ne file in the pncBotList. That mail was to receive Debug information when a real bot was provoking an error o­n a sql query.

I changed the pack so it takes the admin mail configuration variable instead. That mail thing will go away anyway.

The pack has been change... but the o­nly file changed was the pnuserapi.php in the pncBotList folder.

Have fun !

I made a specific forum for suggestion o­n the user administration for the 0.8x series.

If you have a feature that you'd like to see in the 0.8x series, don't hesitate to leave a note.

Have fun !

Note: This forum is in no way a replacement of the NOC Features request page : Noc Feature page but only a way for me to centralized what I have to add to my todo list.

For most people, there is always a shocking image that not o­nly made them gaze at the sky and wonder why it happened...

They were also afraid... or filled with a unmeasurable sadness and despair.

For some, it was the assination of J.F.K., for others the Rwanda's Genocide, the elders (and even yougster) have countless wars to remember and for others... the guy next door that a dealer decided to eliminate in front of them.

We can be shocked by many things... but this 11th day of September... and without ever minimizing what could have been or still can be the horrors elsewhere in the world.

This day shook the ground under our "civilized" feet.

To the point that even seeing it again in a movie like in "The Barbarian Invasions"... brings the memory of how we felt that day.

Someone told me the other day : "The 2 most incredible things I saw and lived in my life (aside what made my personal life incredible so far), was the first man o­n the moon and September 11th".

I wasn't born to see the first man o­n the moon... But I can say that I join him for his second choice.

For the families, the friends and all who lost someone loved in this event, it is a day to remember them. They have 364 other days to try to understand.

For us who didn't lost someone in this event, we will always have reasons to explain : Religion, fanatism, politics, madness, etc.

But we must not forget that whatever the reason was... it was still humans behind all of it.

Humans...

Enough to bring the question : Does Mankind really have a future?

Or are we bound to destroy ourselves.

------------------

New Yorkers, have a good commemorative day... filled with the hope that what made such day...

... never comes again.

F. Chestnut ! D.

Note: And a special thought to all all who volonteered that day and the days after to help in any way they could... See in the comments someone talking about it with the pain still in his heart.

... in being blind to what he is.
