WEBSITEHallo!My names are Joe Irungu.I am a 22 year old Kenyan citizen who
has developed a wiki based website using Pmwiki package.
Unfortunately,my member management system is manual.I have created a html
form which new users who want to register can fill.This form links to a php
form that pasts data to a MySQL database.I then open the Site.AuthUser page
where I manually insert the username and password.
As you can see,this manual member management system is not efficient.This is
why I turned to the use of ZAP but I have encountered problems.Lets go through
what I have done step by step.
1) I download zap into my cookbook from the PmWiki website and enabled it
in a local config file by adding this line:
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/zap.php");
2) To verify that I had ZAP properly installed on your system, copy this
snippet to a new page that I created in my wiki and clicked the button.
(:zapform key=check:)(:zapget:)
(:zap Install="Installation Successful" check:)
(:zap passdata="Install" check:)
(:input submit value="Test Install":) {$Install}
(:zapend:)
The "Installation Successful" text appeared.
3)I then created a new page called Register and entered the text below in this
page so as to create a Registration form.
[[#ID]]
(:messages:)
(:zapform:)
||Member Name:%red%*%% ||(:input text Member:)
||Password:%red%*%% ||(:input password Password:)
||Real Name: ||(:input text RealName:)
||Email: ||(:input text Email:)
||Country: ||(:input text Country:)
||Gender: ||(:input select Gender Male:) (:input select Gender Female:)
|| ||(:input submit value="Create Account":)
(:zap register="Email,Password,RealName,Country,Gender":)
(:zap login="auto":)
(:zapend:)
[[#ID]]
I then saved the form,entered data and clicked the create account button.A
message Form Submitted appeared.
In an effort to view data on the page I tried to edit the form above by adding
the following
Field 1: {$:Member}
Field 2: {$:Password}
Field 3: {$:RealName}
Field 4: {$:Email}
Field 5: {$:Country}
Field 6: {$:Gender}
Thus the entire Registration page looked as below.
[[#ID]]
(:messages:)
(:zapform:)
||Member Name:%red%*%% ||(:input text Member:)
||Password:%red%*%% ||(:input password Password:)
||Real Name: ||(:input text RealName:)
||Email: ||(:input text Email:)
||Country: ||(:input text Country:)
||Gender: ||(:input select Gender Male:) (:input select Gender Female:)
|| ||(:input submit value="Create Account":)
(:zap register="Email,Password,RealName,Country,Gender":)
(:zap login="auto":)
(:zapend:)
[[#ID]]
Field 1: {$:Member}
Field 2: {$:Password}
Field 3: {$:RealName}
Field 4: {$:Email}
Field 5: {$:Country}
Field 6: {$:Gender}
I then saved it and entered data.The data I put was not shown on the page.
I tried editing the page as follows(I prefer having the page as below with
test Member,Real Name etc instead of Field 1 Field 2 etc.
[[#ID]]
(:messages:)
(:zapform:)
||Member Name:%red%*%% ||(:input text Member:)
||Password:%red%*%% ||(:input password Password:)
||Real Name: ||(:input text RealName:)
||Email: ||(:input text Email:)
||Country: ||(:input text Country:)
||Gender: ||(:input select Gender Male:) (:input select Gender Female:)
|| ||(:input submit value="Create Account":)
(:zap register="Member,Password,RealName,Email,Country,Gender":)
(:zap login="auto":)
(:zapend:)
[[#ID]]
Member: {$:Member}
Password: {$:Password}
RealName: {$:RealName}
Email: {$:Email}
Country: {$:Country}
Gender: {$:Gender}
The following error resulted
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
c:\wamp\www\pmwiki5\pmwiki.php on line 719
How can I solve this problem?
4) I then Created a page in my wiki called Site.ZAPConfig and copied the
following text to the same page and saved it.
ZAP Version
ZAP: {$ZAPversion}
ZAPtoolbox: {$ZAPtoolboxversion}
ZAP Groups
Login: Profiles
Profiles: Profiles
EmailList: Profiles
NewsList: NewsList
NewsQueue: NewsQueue
Several links were created i.e ZAPToolbox, EmailList, NewsList, NewsQueue.I
placed all the text in ZAPToolbox.php in the ZAPToolbox page that was created
after I clicked the ZAPToolbox link.
5)I also tried to create a user Login system by creating a login page and
putting in the text below.
[[#ID]]
(:messages:)
(:zapform:)
(:zap login="":)
||Member Name: ||(:input text Member:)
||Password: ||(:input password Password:) (:input submit value="Login!":)
(:zapend:)
[[#ID]]
When I tried to login with the Member and password that I inserted in the
Register form that is explained above,nothing happens.What is the problem with
it and how do I solve it?
In general I would like solutions to the above and a user management system
as below.
1)A new user registers using the Register form.After,he clicks on create
account button.This prompts system to search if the username and password has
already been used by another user.If this is so,the user receives a message
that username and /or password already taken.If the username and password are
not taken,the user gets message that the form is submitted and the data values
he has entered are shown on the page.An e-mail with a default text that I would
write is sent to the users e-mail address welcoming him as a member and
showing his username and password.
2)Immediately,after the user registers his account,he should be able to log
in into the website.By,logging in the user should be able to edit existing
pages and create new pages.He should also be able to log out.
3)I also need a way of viewing the user records created and the ability to
delete a user record.
Please,look into my case above and reply to my mail as soon as possible with
solutions to the situations stated above.Thanks in advance.
