Howto use external Adodb

emerge adodb

edit db/tiki-db.php to use external adodb libs, change IncludePath to where external adodb has been installed like this:

TikiInit::prependIncludePath('/usr/lib/php/adodb');

maybe check your php_admin_value open_basedir to include /usr/lib/php/adodb in your vhost settings or php.ini or htaccess depending on your configuration

php_admin_value open_basedir /var/www/tiki19:/tmp:/usr/lib/php/adodb

Note: tiki-install.php also depends on adodb so use this after working install, or modify tiki-install.php appropriately

Note: this works with adodb 4.61 at the time of writing ang

Howto use external Smarty

emerge smarty

edit setup_smarty.php in tikiroot directory to include external smarty

define('SMARTY_DIR', "/usr/lib/php/Smarty/");

require_once ( '/usr/lib/php/Smarty/Smarty.class.php');

and below edit the plugins_dir array, that dirname stuff is unneccessary:

$this->plugins_dir = array(»····// the directory order must be like  this to overload a plugin
 "lib/smarty_tiki",
 SMARTY_DIR."plugins"
);

Note: tiki-install.php also depends on smarty so use this after working install, or modify tiki-install.php appropriately

define('SMARTY_DIR', "/usr/lib/php/Smarty/");
 
require_once (SMARTY_DIR . 'Smarty.class.php');

and the plugins_dir array again

Note: this works with latest Smarty 2.6.7 at the time of writing ang

• we use version 2.5.5 in 1.9 CVS is at the time of writing

Note: help developing.

For Devs:

TikiWiki comes as is, bundled with some external applications and many media files - especially Smarty too.

But GentooLinux has a separate ebuild for Smarty, and hence there would be an ample opportunity separating TikiWiki from external apps, so that bare Tiki can fit in with less redundancy in any System. CVS dev. versions of Tiki already check-out separate from Smarty...

Hence, for now, the TikiReleaseGentooLinux focuses on this separation of TikiWiki in InstallTikiGentoo from internal Smarty.

Primary objective for now is the achievement of the use of external Smarty libs - (Gentoo ebuild based) with Tiki.

Secondary objective is the externalisation of media files included in TikiWiki into TikiMediaReleaseGentooLinux (e.g.: avatar images).

Tertienary objective is the use of TikiGamesGentooLinux ebuild for the easy install of TikiGames.

Fourth objective is the externalisation of TikiStyles into separate TikiStyleReleaseGentooLinux ebuilds, so that themes and templates are easily installed and extended...

Finally, the most community-extending aspect of this project is the TikiLanguageReleasesGentooLinux in line tiwh TikiProfilesDev, so that all kind of languages and cultures easily benefit from TikiWiki.

All comments and suggestions, and any kind of cooperation is very wellcome!

Hey, Gentoo fellows! Add your name here!

This is where new features being developed and only in CVS are documented. When the CVS becomes RC/official release, the info in the CVS docs is transferred to update the official docs (FeatureXDoc).

For a start the ebuild is going to use CVS checkout of Tiki for installing a bare 1.8 Tiki version, and patching it for the use of external Gentoo-Smarty.

Where ideas can be exchanged, debated, etc. Interested people can subscribe to the wiki page and/or to these forums as they would a mailing list.

Yet Another Ebuild Is Soon To Come. 🙄
