PHP4 end-of-life and Midgard
Posted about 1 year ago by
PHP 4.4.9 was released on Aug 7th 2008. It is the last release of the PHP4 line, and no security fixes or other improvements will be made available. This makes it dangerous to run public web sites with PHP4. The Midgard Project would like to urge all
... [More]
users of PHP4 to upgrade to PHP5.
The Midgard 1.8 ("Thor") series of Midgard support both PHP4 and PHP5 fully. Therefore the easiest path to upgrade legacy Midgard installations is to first upgrade to Thor, keeping PHP4, and then switch to PHP5.
All upcoming Midgard versions, starting from the 1.9 ("Ragnaroek") release scheduled for September drop support of PHP4 in compliance to the GoPHP5 initiative.
The PHP project has released a migration guide. [Less]

the classic Midgard APIs that are now deprecated, and the new

Midgard 2.0.0alpha2 "Bonfire" released
Posted about 1 year ago by
Lodz, June 25th 2008 -- The Midgard Project has released second
alpha, 2.0 release version of the Midgard Open Source Content Management
System.
About this release
The second alpha of the Midgard 2.0 branch is targeted at
... [More]
web framework
and desktop developers. This release does not consist of the CMS
components, but instead targets at providing the development tools for
building a modern web framework. Framework based not only on one tool,
but which can connect multiple technologies and languages.
This is also the first Midgard release which doesn't provide Apache module.
The version 3 of MidCOM web content management components for PHP5 are
currently in the process of being ported to the Midgard 2.0 platform.
MidCOM 3 can run also with Midgard 1.9 release version.
Midgard
Midgard is an object-oriented storage abstraction layer for
interconnected web and desktop applications.
Midgard's philosophy includes building on top of a well-known and
supported toolkit of Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP on the web end, and
GNOME libraries like glib and libgda on the system end or SQLite and Python
for personal use.
The Midgard platform enables developers to define a storage structure
once and use it on both web and desktop applications, with the
possibility of easy data replication between the two.
On top of the current stable Midgard 1.8 core, the PHP-based Midgard
Component
Framework (MidCOM) makes Midgard a capable content management system
and web
framework.
New Midgard architecture
Language independence
Midgard is also language independent and due to its powerful architecture
has proven as stable, secure and flexible solution implemented in
various environments:
PHP5 extension for object-oriented access to the storage system
Python module for object-oriented access to the storage system
Historical Apache module for handling persistent connections and initialization
of the platform
GTK desktop applications
Database independence
The Midgard 1.x was heavily coupled with the MySQL database. The new
2.0 architecture is instead built on top of libgda, the GNOME database
abstraction layer. This enables Midgard to be used with various
storage engines, including:
MySQL
Postgres
SQLite
Microsoft SQL Server
Oracle
DB2
Built-in replication and metadata
All Midgard objects are automatically equipped with a consistent set
of metadata properties that can be used for access control and
workflow.
In addition, Midgard provides an API for serializing and unserializing
stored objects in XML format that can be used for replicating data
between different systems. The replication architecture can be used
for staging/live web environments or mobile applications that
synchronize between each other or a web back-end.
Planned for next Midgard 2 releases
New rewritten ACL integrated within core libraries
New advanced Midgard Style Engine
New enchanced database access API
MidCOM web toolkit ported to Midgard 2 platform
Support for Template Abstraction Language for MidCOM components
Mono/C# and Ruby language bindings
Easy Midgard CMS installer

Metadata creator hotfix
Posted about 1 year ago by

... [More]
release.
If you use Midgard 1.8.6, hold on with upgrade till 1.8.8 is released.
As a temporary solution you can upgrade your midgad packages if your system is debian or compile midgard-core with manually applied patch.
Debian packages
Patch
Tables can be fixed using example query:
UPDATE article SET metadata_creator=REPLACE(metadata_authors, '|' ,'') WHERE metadata_creator='' AND metadata_authors<>'' AND metadata_authors<>'||' AND LENGTH(metadata_authors) < 39;
However you should check tables and correct data manually in case if metadata_authors column contain more than one guid. [Less]
