Aucion and xata verion

Postby wow » Wed Mar 31, 2010 5:03 pm

Hi Steve!
I just started with the auction and xataface tutorials.
Mm.. I think the version of xata (itself) that goes with auction v. 0.3.5
is different then latest 1.2.2 xataface, no?
I was trying to figure out if I can update 0.3.5 auction with newest xataface..
But couldn't figure it out.
Or may be I need to install xataface 1.2.2 first and then somehow "plugg" Auction on
top of that?
Sorry if I'm asking something really stupid. )

You're right. Web Auction comes with an older version of Xataface bundled with it. To upgrade xataface, just download the latest xataface and then replace the "dataface" folder in your web auction install folder with the xataface directory (but rename xataface to be the same (i.e. "dataface").

ok, this is what I did.
I renamed dataface to datafaceOld(just in case).
Created new dataface and uploaded everything from the xataface zip to this folder.
I don't know if it's OK or not but looks fine, so far..
I mean I can load index.php, login to admin, click here and there.
So far don't see anything that doesn't work.
After that I let myself to delete datafaceOld folder.

But now I confused with this mass I got, cuz I have doubles all over, right?
2Xactions
2Xtamplates
2Xtamplates_c
2Xlang
...etc
And I hate when it's disorganized. )

How to clean it up so i'm not screwing anything important?
Thank you.
ps
for example, my dirs are:
au/dataface/Dataface/templates_c
au/templates_c

'au' is my main dir at the moment

Treat the dataface folder as a black box. There will be many files and folders that are named the same in dataface as they are in web auction. This is because Xataface allows you to override certain things in your application's parallel file structure (only certain things). That is why there is an actions folder in the webauction directory and another one in the dataface folder.

I got the point. Thanx.

Have to admit, I love the concept in general.
Now I'm trying to figure out if I can dig it.
-----------------------------------------------------
Another thing I'm curious about.
I checked html source code of the index.php/home page, at the output, from IE,
Beside other thing I can see this java:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"><!--
DATAFACE_URL = 'dataface';
DATAFACE_SITE_URL = '/au';
DATAFACE_SITE_HREF = '/au/index.php';
DATAFACE_PATH = '/home/MAIN_SITE_NAMEe/public_html/au/dataface';
//--></script>

The last DATAFACE_PATH line basically expose the full pass with my
MAIN_SITE_NAME on the host.(it is multy domain hosting)
So.. Eventually my auction site gonna have something like an AUCTION_SITE_NAME.com.
I'm not sure, Steve, if I want anybody to see what my MAIN site really is in this situation.
This two sites - AUCTION and MAIN - not gonna have anything in common.
And from a security point of view too - is this 'OK' to expose DATAFACE_PATH like that?

I'm just thinking, if there is a way to change DATAFACE_PATH look to ../au/dataface or something like that.
I was trying to play with it in the index.php, but didn't get anything good out of it.
Where is it?

Hope I explained it right..
Thank you Steve.

Never mind, I changed it for now in dataface/config.inc.php

I replaced

Code: Select all
define('DATAFACE_PATH', str_replace('\\','/', dirname(__FILE__)));

with

Code: Select all
define('DATAFACE_PATH', str_replace('\\','/', '../au/'.DATAFACE_URL));


I presume it's not right, but it works for now.

Note that you could also just define DATAFACE_PATH at the beginning of your index.php file. That would allow you to leave the dataface files untouched.
