publish_log.txt showing in Legend box

[barney]

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone has had a similar problem to this or can assist me?

I've installed phpicalendar v2.4 with absolutley no problems installation wise. I seem to have a minor display problem in that the log file 'publish_log.txt' (automatically generated in the calendars directory) shows itself in the top right hand Legend: box alongside my valid ics calendar lists.

Would anyone be able to give me any tips on how to stop this displaying?

Thanks for any help in advance.

You have two immediate options. Both require modifying a line or two of PHP.

The recommended change is patching phpiCalendar so that it ignores the 'publish_log.txt' file when finding calendars. Here is a patch which does this:

Code: Select all

--- functions/calendar_functions.php   15 Apr 2010 18:39:26 -0000   1.40
+++ functions/calendar_functions.php   9 Jul 2010 15:24:12 -0000

         while (false !== ($file = readdir($dir_handle))) {
            // Make sure this is not a dot file.
            if (preg_match("/^\./", $file)) continue;
+            // publish.php creates a file called 'publish_log.txt'
+            if ($file == 'publish_log.txt') continue;
            array_push($files, "$search_path/$file");
         }
      } else {

The other option is to disable publish logging altogether. That might be acceptable in your case, if you don't need the log for debugging or keeping a record of changes. Here's a patch that disables the logging:

Code: Select all

--- calendars/publish.php   1 Jan 2009 18:33:42 -0000   1.9

   if( ! $logfile = fopen('publish_log.txt','a+') ) {
      header('HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized');

If you can try that first option [only] and let me know if it works for you, I'll be glad to apply that patch to version 2.4 for the next RC!

Thank you very much Parasyte for the patch.

I'll try both the options you reccomend. Will let you know which one works best for me.

Cheers

Hi Parasyte,

The first patch works perfectly. Thanks very much.
