4.2.6 Installation Issues

[faguss]

• #1 - Setting:File Uploads Recommended:ON Actual:OFF
  

I'd like to have some information displayed about this because I didn't know what that meant. After some digging I found out that allow_url_fopen is disabled by my host for security reasons. However, there's CURL so I took a function from here:

<pre>

Code:

function url_get_contents ($Url) {
    if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
        die('CURL is not installed!');
    }
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $output;
};

</pre>




And added it to recaptcha.config.php:

Code:

$response = url_get_contents($path . $req);

and to check_updates.php:

Code:

$remoteVersion=trim(url_get_contents(REMOTE_VERSION));

I find it inconvenient that replacing by usersc requires dependent files so I needed to copy all these:

check_updates.php
init.php
includes/user_spice_ver.php
includes/recaptcha.config.php
login.php

Also added page permission for usersc/check_updates.php in the Admin Dashboard.

Could you automatically detect CURL during installation and use it in place of file_get_contents?

• #2 - Error performing query '/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8mb4 */; ':
  

I replaced utf8mb4 with utf8 in the installation sql.

• #3 - Timezone selection not saved
  

Timezone is reverted to the first option when you press "Test Settings" button.

• #4 - Parse error: syntax error in init.php on line 45
