Starting upgrading Content Management System

INVEMAR has its own Content Management System, now it is time to develop a new version of that, and that is my new target.

This task has so many interesting things to do, starting from the graphic desing, user profiles, new modules, upgrading and improvement of existing modules, among others.

Today I have been working in the new User Profile schema (there was a very basic one), during morning I was drawing data base tables and relationships (entity-relationship model, the small one necesary for the module).  They were seven tables in total and now I am ready to start developing related classes and interfaces.  I have many ideas in my head, I want to use a nice implementation of MVC (Model View Controler) wheter it is one of my own or one of them you find in the web (Struts, JSF, etc). The point is that I want to do a better thing than the last project, thats the idea when you start something new, do things better, and better, and improve, LEARNING, that is the goal.

So, I am very excited with this, I am working in this project with Oracle, Java, JSP, AJAX (Javascript frameworks).

Today it is a special day because I have been six month working at INVEMAR, so I am very happpyyyyyyy.

So see you tomorrow.

PD:  Tomorrow I will introduce you to GED.

WordPress MU and safe_mode

Solution implemented on:  WordPress MU 2.7

INTRODUCTION

A change of server gave me some problems with La-ciel Blogs (wordpress MU implementation) because it has safe_mode on.  In this article I describe the way I got problems solved.

safe_mode is a configuration directive that solves security problems derived from shared-servers, a way to get it is by disabling some functions including mkdir().

The restricted mkdir() does not allow applications (in this case WordPress) to create directories with chmod 777 disabling subdirectories and subfiles creation, it means that you wont be able to upload files using your WordPress back end.  So when your server has safe_mode=on you get some problems.
