Try to shut down the pop-up blocking software, or Google bar (or some tool bar of the kind, often equipped with a function for pop up blocking)?

The mini-message do not function if the software blocks popups.

Possibly, on your PC, if you are using EasyPHP, MiniGuppY or EasyGuppY, your site does not launch if your antivirus and your firewall are active.

The firewall and antivirus should be configured to allow easyphp or easyphp to run. If this is not possible, they should be deactived, while running GuppY locally. This is a security risk if you are connected to the internet at that time.

First of all, please read the following article completely:

  • Then, delete your own rights. To do that, by FTP, delete the file which contains your user name, in the admin/redac directory.
  • Then, you can enter the admin again.

*Before versions 4.x of GuppY, the best way was to save the useful cookies using a
free software called: Cookies Manager 
You can download it from:
http://pmdevigne.home.dyndns.org/

* As of versions 4.x of GuppY,  at the time of the registration,  a
password is asked by default (a line of numbers to be remembered)
and this password makes it possible to be re-registered under the same
user name on one or more machines or in the event of cookies being lost.
This generated passcode can be replaced by a personal password that is easier to remember.

As indicated in various GuppY documentation :
 
At any time, you can change the password back to "pass" (default password),  by uploading, though ftp (File Transfer Protocol   - Filezilla is a software you can download and use easily. ), the file admin/mdp.php file from the installation package.

After you've done this, check the following:

  • Don't forget to check the user rights on the mdp.php file (CHMOD : 644).
  • Change the admin password immediately.

You have to write two papers. At the end of the first one, put a "next" link, linking to the second paper.

The second paper will be accessible but in a way hidden (meaning it will not be displayed in the side paper box.) To that purpose, when you write the second paper, give it a title but leave the "category" case empty. In that way, the article is not listed in the paper box. You have to link it from an other paper to make it accessible.

The solution is removing all the break lines (BR) in the source code of the table. Each break line causes a shift downwards. You have to write tables (and layers) so that they consist in one single (and long !) line, if you want to get a good result.

Not good:
[table]
[tr]
[td]
blah
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Good:
[table][tr][td]blabla[/td][/tr][/table]

A GuppYHTMLOptimizer utility is at your disposal in the Downloads. It eliminates all the visible and invisible jumps of line from the codes of tables.

Sometimes you need to display the same elements on different pages of a site.

Fed up with copying code from the "Source" editor window and pasting into the "Source " window of another article ?

If youd'like to save time and you'd rather not type again formatted text with links, or tables, pictures or tables with pictures in them, etc. Copying the whole stuff from the wysywyg edition interface and then pasting it into the new article in the simplest way of course.


Enabling the copy-paste function is easy: you must edit the file guppy_ckconfig.js in the directory admin/editors/ckeditor_config/ on line 56

  • config.forcePasteAsPlainText = true;

to be replaced by

You will be able to build your site, without knowing HTML or PHP. This site (freeguppy.org) offers you a short introduction to the functions offered by the tool, in its standard version. However, GuppY is extensible via plugins, forks, and skins that are developed and proposed by the community of GuppY users. These extensions will
allow you to simply customise your site, and adapt it to your specific needs.

To help you, an abundant amount of documentation is available on this site. If you do not find the answers to your questions, in the documentation, a very active forum (for mutual aid) is also available for your questions.

Use GuppY and focus on what will make your site a success: its contents!

If you wish to create your Internet site easily, first test GuppY locally, on your pc.
To do so, go to the Downloads section (downloads icon on the top menu bar) and from there download MiniGuppY. Once you installed EasyGuppy on your machine, double click on the
document obtained in the download and it will guide you.
Then, you can use an "empty" or "clean" GuppY installation on your machine without even needing an internet connection . After, if you want to publish your site to make it accessible by Internet it will be necessary for you to find a web hosting company or service, on which to install GuppY.

CeCILL License – A Question about Copyright and CeCILL legal service answer.

 

I am a member of the CMS GuppY development team. GuppY is a script that we make available under a Cecill license since the latest version. Before that, it was distributed under a GNU GPL license. We've changed for Cecill to improve the protection of our work, particularly for the respect of the copyright mention, that we integrate in the footer of GuppY powered websites –e.g. see the footer on the official website: http://www.freeguppy.org/.

 

Today, we've noticed that a user who builds at least two websites with GuppY has altered the copyright mention in the footer (which is written in the source code) instead of this text:

 

Site powered by Guppy v4.0.3 - Ó2004-2006 – CeCILL Free License

 

he wrote: Powered by Guppy

 

In the official copyright, we include a link to the official Guppy Website and a link to the website of the Cecill license, in order to promote our script together with the license which protects it. The so-called user left a link to the official Guppy Website, the license mention has disappeared, altogether with the link to http://www.cecill.info

 

I have kindly explained to the user that we didn't mind his changing the copyright mention but that we would indeed value very much that he should put back in place in the footer the Cecill license mention, first because it is fully part GuppY's identity – we are indeed proud enough to distribute it freely and with no charge – but also because it is part of what we understand in "copyright". That user takes offence at this demand, and answers that the cecill license has no legal validity, and that he does not breach the law since he left the mention "Powered by GuppY" which is right enough." He goes on by saying that he refuses to add the CeCILL Free License " with the link pointing at its website because it is too long and detracts the aesthetics of his websites.

 

I'd like to know if we do understand in the first place the words of §6.4. As far are we are concerned, we have understood that the user was in noway allowed to modify ANY of the copyright mentions and that he had to leave them as they are, in the source code of the software AND in the footer of the sites powered with GuppY.

Could you please make things clear on this point. If we have misunderstood, then the user is right and we'll then have to change for another license.

 

We distribute GuppY freely, work on it as volunteers, and do not expect anything else than the respect for this whole string :" Site powered by Guppy v4.0.3 - Ó2004-2006 – CeCILL Free License" duly displayed on the websites. We stick to it, as our sole remuneration and acknowledgement of our work. does the CeCILL license allow us to demand the respect of this clause?

 

Answer of the legal CeCILL service

 

"You have perfectly understood. By downloading the software, this licensee committed himself to respect the words of the CeCILL license and particularly those of its 6.4 article enforcing on the licensee the obligation to duplicate exactly the mentions of intellectual propriety on the copies of the software. We have hence a right to impose on this licensee to display on every copy of the software the string :" Site powered by Guppy v4.0.3 - Ó2004-2006 – CeCILL Free License". If the licensee will not comply, you are entitled to send him a letter order to display the correct legal mention on each copy of the software. For lack of this correction within 30 days, you may cancel his license. Thus this user will not be allowed to use, modify, and distribute the software (article ten of the CeCILL license)"

 

 

I stay at your disposal for any further enquiry,

Cordially yours,

 

Anne-Sophie BAYLE

In the download section : HERE (under "Manuals")

When you encounter a problem with GuppY, you have several solutions to correct it.
The information is simple to access. In the left hand menu, you will find a section called "Quick doc'". In this "Quick doc'" menu section, you will find information ressources links.

Yes. You can install GuppY in a directory of your webspace. For example: www.mysite.com/guppy/

To acces GuppY in this directory, you will need to use the following url: http://www.mysite.com/guppy/index.php

Then there are no capacity constraints with GuppY, you can create as many contents as you want: news, articles, links, etc...

Therefore, in one webspace you could have several subsites, one installation of GuppY in a given directory, per subsite:
www.mysite.com/subsite1/
www.mysite.com/subsite2/
...
www.mysite.com/subsiteN/

One question that is often asked is whether GuppY can be used for professional or semi-professional uses.
We are very happy to see that professionals are interested in GuppY's functionalities.

GuppY is freely distributed without any kind of payment in exchange. The team is made up of people who work freely on their free time and who are passionate about what they do. Whatever use you make of GuppY, you will never have to pay for it.


In "free software" phylosophy, it is accepted that you can make a donation to the project, if you like the software, or if you make use of it in a professional or commercial context. It is your choice whether or not you wish to make a donation. Link to the donation page: here
This is why we, in general, invite system integrators, professional or not, to make a donation per site they create. This helps us , in part, ensure the GuppY project's existance: development and user support. The amount and frequency of the donation is left up to you.

Donating to the project does not give you the right to not display the copyright at the bottom of each page of the site created with GuppY. You can, of course, modify it to suit the graphic charter of your website, as any user of our CMS.
Professionals who wish to use the the source code or part of the source code of GuppY, without displaying the copyright, must negotiate this type of use with the Guppy Team. We do not sell our volunteer developpers' work cheap, so the contribution could be expensive.

Two main reasons lead me to develop GuppY. I wanted a small portal for my own personal web site (aldweb Site) that would allow:

- a native bilingual management of the content, the user only having to choose his language when getting on the site. Only Minicontent answered this requirement... but it required the installation of a MySQL database and few functionalities were available apart from the standard CMS (Content Management System).

- a simple script based solution that would not require a database server to run. I then looked at Portix and Phortail. The first one, Portix, is indevelopment but it is starting to become quite complex and, last I heard, it now comes with user management which I did not need. The second one, Phortail, was much more simple, even too basic, but it was healthy. Therefore, it was a source of inspiration for my own development of GuppY.

So, at the end, I decided to write my own script based solution, with the idea of sharing it with everybody that would be interested, so I tried to get it to be as "user friendly" as I could. And this is how GuppY was born

Creation date :24/09/2003 @ 00:00Last update :26/02/2012 @ 22:48Print the article

From all the little web portals that I could find, while looking for the perfect web portal, Phortail is by far the one that had the user interface that I prefered. Furthermore, the concept and architecture of Phortail were good. But the PHP source code of Phortail needed serious work.

So, Phortail was, for sure, a source of inspiration for GuppY, but you have to know that the PHP code of GuppY was written 100% "from scratch" to be more efficient, more flexible and more secure.

To sum up, here are the inspiration sources on GuppY of the 3 tools Phortail, Portix and Minicontent:
- Phortail : the general concept (with the non use of an external database) and the general look & feel
- Portix : the concept of not using an external database, the quotations... and the will to do things in an easier way...
- Minicontent : the bilingual capability and the categories in the articles menu.

Close  Htaccess

In case of problems with the path in htaccess and htpasswd, if you need to know the absolute path of a directory, it is quite simple: the realpath() function does just that.



Just create a php file that can be called e.g. absolute-path.php and will contain:


<?php echo realpath ('absolute-path.php');>



This file will be placed in the folder where the htpasswd is. In our example, we use the admin folder but this can be done to any other folder to protected.



To get the result - i.e. the path you need to know - simply type : http://name_of_your_site.ext/admin/absolute-path.php into  the address bar of your browser.



You will of course replace "name_of_your_site.ext " by the actual name of your site. For example here freeguppy.org: www.freeguppy.org .

Please go the url below where you will find a .htaccess and .hpassword generator, testes and passed on mayny servers; it allows you to make safe any folder.

http://guppyland.freeguppy.org/plugins/openfiches/viewfiche.php?lng=fr&nom_fiches=Sécurité&fiche=pluginhtaccess
 
Contact your host if this technique shouldn't work. They might have different htaccess politics.

Release 4.5.0 et 4.5.1


You have only to change the timeout value in the body of admin/listimg1, listimg.php and listimg2.php which is fixed on 5000 thousandth (5s).
Just put the value you want in the three files .

Line 47 of admin/listimg1.php
bgcolor="" leftmargin="7" topmargin="5" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" onblur="javascript:setTimeout('window.close();',5000);">


To increase this value in red in the three files.


Release 4.5.2


The value of the timeout was carried at 20 seconds (instead of 5).
To note: The files listimg1.php and listimg2.php are not used any more (they can be removed).

Flash banner

How surprising! GuppY has shrunk my banner! To get it actually displayed with its true dimensions, you must edit the inc/boxban.inc file on line 64, and replace width="468 " height="60 " by the banner dimensions, e.g. 950 x 120 :

Code : <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="<?php echo $img; ?>" width="950" height="120" class="flashban" title="<?php echo $alt; ?>">

Beware :
- This size will apply to any other flash banner.
- No consequence on gif or animated gifs (the banners ont this freeguppy.org site are all the same size : 468 x 60)
- With such a banner as in the exemple, adding a logo can bring display problems.
- This modification will need re-doing when upgrading to new Guppy version.

You don't need to touch anything in the config,
you go to the admin, get to your article(the edito or the news)
you put CKEDitor in source mode) and use the DIV tag (the opening one at the beginning, the closing one at the end) like this :

[<div style="background-image: url(img/myfond.gif);">]
your text is here, bla bla bla
bla bla bla
bla bla bla
end of your article
[</div>]

Thanks to Tanet for this tip.

Don't forget to delete the brackets [] in first and last lines.

Adding a background colour in an article, in the homepage, or the news...

If it is just a matter of one page of your site, you will not need to go into the CSS file...
When you have opened the article in admin mode, your will turn CKEditor into source mode;

Then you paste this as the first line of your text (grey background in this example):

[<div style="background-color: #C0C0C0;">]

Your text ...  yak yak yak ...


And that will be be the last line:
[</div>]

To know if your hosting company allows this uploading function, you have to check using PHP's phpinfo, or look in the hosting company's documentation or contact them.
If they do, chmod the photo root directory to 777 in order not to have directory rights issues.

The user enters an expression made of one or several words (no limit).

The engine searches, among the selected documents, those which contain these words, and gives a grade to every document. Zero if no word is found, a positive grade if at least one word is found. The more words are found, higher is the grade. This grade is used for sorting out the results found. When the grade is equal, the most recent documents are put in the first place.

The grade of the first occurrence of a word depends on the position of this word in the expression keyed in. It means that it is necessary to place the most significant words first to obtain a grade all the more relevant.

The repetition of a word in the page increases the grade, but much less than the first occurrence of a word.

What's more, the search engine enables to look for a string made of several words placed between quotation marks (") as a unique word. For example: the research of " plugin slideshow. " gives a result different from searching  the plugin slideshow. Words and expressions can be combined between quotation marks.
Forbidden characters: ^ []. +? * () $­­­­. They will be ignored as you key in your search.

Badly placed quotation marks or not paired are suppressed before the research.

Since upgrade to PHP 4.4.6,  some hosting services, as for instance Online.fr,  the error message "too many open files" may show sometimes, especially when doing searches.

Solution is to upgrade to PHP5 by adding the two blue lines in the root .htaccess de la racine (htaccess that comes with GuppY and to be modified as shown below) :

[Files .htaccess]

Order allow,deny

Deny from all

C'est un problème connu chez 1and1.

Il faut supprimer les lignes 265 à 274 du fichier postguest.php d'un GuppY 4.6.18 standard:
Code : 

    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
        $url = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
        $host = $url['host'];
        $ip = gethostbyname($host);
        if ($ip != $host) {
            if ($host != $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
                die("STOP ! Illegal action from '$host' (IP=$ip)");
            }
        }
    }
   
"Stop ! Illegal Action from 'www.monsite.com' (IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)" veut dire que la réponse attendue par GuppY à une requête d'identification du serveur n'a pas abouti.
Soit il s'agit d'une réponse incorrecte ou d'une absence de réponse à cette requête.

Evevrybody knows the tip to organise articles in the articles boxes.

You simply have to add hidden tags befor the titles, like <!--01-->, <!--02--> ou <!--03--> for instance.

But did you know that since GuppY 4.6, it is possible to do the same with the menu icons? cool

Just go to Admin/Config section and have e try.

You may even repeat the tip with plugins names that you can insert between GuppY items.

Php_Free.fr is now out of date, because Free now uses the standard php mail function(Protomail library is no more necessary).

C'est un problème connu chez 1and1.

Il faut supprimer les lignes 269 à 278 incluse du fichier postguest.php d'un GuppY 4.6.22 standard:
Code : 

    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
        $url = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
        $host = $url['host'];
        $ip = gethostbyname($host);
        if ($ip != $host) {
            if ($host != $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
                die("STOP ! Illegal action from '$host' (IP=$ip)");
            }
        }
    }
   
"Stop ! Illegal Action from 'www.monsite.com' (IP=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)" veut dire que la réponse attendue par GuppY à une requête d'identification du serveur n'a pas abouti.
Soit il s'agit d'une réponse incorrecte ou d'une absence de réponse à cette requête.

Close  Sample PHP

To add a visit counter (to count the number of times the page was displayed), you need to have a file to store the count data and modify a few lines in the sample.php file, in which you will increment the counter.

Find the following lines:
define('CHEMIN', '../');
include(CHEMIN."inc/includes.inc");

After this lines add the following:
$­­file = CHEMIN.'data/my_counter.dtb';
$­­­­­­­­­count = ReadCounter($­­file) + 1;
WriteCounter($­­file, $­­­­­­­­­count);

Replace the file name "my_counter.dtb" by the name of your data file. (that you created to store this information)

Use the $­­­­count variable to display the counter value ( for example: echo $­­­­count; )

To add a visitor counter (number of time different visitors viewed the page), you need 2 files, one for the counter data, and the other to manage the visitors. You also need to add a few lines of php code to the sample.php file toincrement the counter.

> Find the following line :
include(CHEMIN."inc/includes.inc");

>Below this line add the following :
$­­­­­­­cpt = ReadCounter("compteur.dtb");
$­­­­­­­new = DejaVote("ipcompteur.dtb");
if ($­­­­­­­new[0] == false) ­{­ WriteCounter("compteur.dtb", ++$­­­­­­­cpt); }

Replace the name of the file "compteur.dtb" by the name of your data file.

Replace the name of the file "ipcompteur.dtb" by the name of your unique visitor history file.

Use the $­­­cpt variable to display the counter value (for example: echo $­­­cpt; )

Guppy can work with easyphp 1.7 but you need to restore the parameters that were in the version 1.6 and worked good with GuppY

Only too parameters have changed they are :
register_globals and error_reporting

To modify them, you have to edit the file called php.ini, for windows XP you find it in the folder fileseasyphp1-7apache.

For more security, make one save from the file before changing it.

1st step
open php.ini with an editor and go to line 380 called :
register_globals = Off

Replace it with :
register_globals = On

2nd step :
go to line 277 called :
;error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
dellete the ; in the front to activate the line.
so that to get :
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

3rd step :
Go to line 285 called :
error_reporting = E_ALL
add one ; in the front to desactivate the line.
You’ll obtain that :
;error_reporting = E_ALL

don't forget to save before leaving.

Il you’ve correctly modified the files, you’ll use easyphp 1.7 to use GuppY in local.

For example if the default index priority is :
• index.php
• index.htm
• index.html
To change it, using FTP, insert the following lines on the beginning of the .hatccess file at the root of GuppY . this file comes with the GuppY pack

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php index.phtml
(You just place them in the order you want with one space between each one.)

The .htaccess file will then become :

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html index.php index.phtml
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
ErrorDocument 400 /error.php?err=400
ErrorDocument 401 /error.php?err=401
ErrorDocument 403 /error.php?err=403
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php?err=404
ErrorDocument 500 /error.php?err=500

This tip allows you to make an intro page index.htm or index.html on one server where index.php would otherwise be the default beginning page.

- Type the URL directly :
http://www.name_of_the_site/admin/admin.php?lng=en

- As a last resort : through FTP load the data/config.inc file, modify the line

$­­­­­­­­­­serviz[44] = stripslashes("on"); //.....
in
$­­­­­­­­­­serviz[44] = stripslashes(""); //.......

Then FTP upload the modified file and everything will work fine.

This is alas due to your host-server, particularly if this is a free one...

The most simple thing is to add the following lines on top of the .htaccess file at the website root :

Redirect permanent /fortopic.php http://yoursite.com/yourforum.php

Redirect permanent /guestbk.php http://yoursite.com/yourguestbook.php

the line should not be truncated.

In addition to the other known answers available in the docs and the FAQ :

It is necessary to modify a parameter in the configuration of the file php.ini

It is the parameter " register_long_arrays " which by default (in PHP5) is set to " Off ". It is enough to set it to " ON " and all functions (access to the administration, recognition at the time of the access to the site).


Here are comments associated with this parameter in the standard file php.ini :

Whether or not to register the old-style input arrays, HTTP_GET_VARS
; and friends. If you're not using them, it's recommended to turn them off,
; for performance reasons.
register_long_arrays = on

Close  Viruses and Trojans

　Following repeated requests on the forum and although GuppY has nothing to do with safety issues related to this worm / Trojan which is known by different names and can attack any site regardless of its programming, we give some information about it in the Bloggy.
