binki	8d55669e05c2	13 years ago	Add some hacks to support pure HTTPS for WebAdvisor XSS automatic registration hack. Add some hacks to support pure HTTPS for WebAdvisor XSS automatic registration hack. Instead of using a JSONP callback and PHP sessions to store the TOKENIDX, the XSS script now just updates the URL parameter for the WebAdvisor login page so that the TOKENIDX will be transferred to webadvisor.php by a GET variable right when it is needed instead of asynchronously. A separate hack to help support HTTPS is that automatic uploading of assets to Amazon S3 (which has HTTPS access) allows the XSS script to be served over HTTPS. This eliminates the browser warnings about accessing mixed secure/insecure content and, thus, hopefully supports browsers which automatically block insecure content on secure pages. default
binki	182b6be0813e	13 years ago	Fix the support for automatic WebAdvisor registration to not enter infinite loops. Fix the support for automatic WebAdvisor registration to not enter infinite loops. The automatic registration process used to enter an infinite loop every time it was used if the user had been previously issued a TOKENIDX by WebAdvisor. This means that it would work the first time in most cases but rarely a second time, if ever. Now we use LASTTOKEN=NULL instead of TOKENIDX= to request a new token and it works pretty well. default
binki	36b251dbae08	13 years ago	Don’t automatically redirect to the somewhat broken automatic WebAdvisor registration page. Don’t automatically redirect to the somewhat broken automatic WebAdvisor registration page. The automatic WebAdvisor registration page is sometimes broken and the user may genuinely just want the list of section synonyms. default
binki	9a492df56347	13 years ago	Fix qTips not appearing for certain courses because of partial XML underquoting. Fix qTips not appearing for certain courses because of partial XML underquoting. Some courses which had ampersands in their titles would cause XML parsing errors in the browser when trying to display the qTip, resulting in the qTip not showing for those courses. This is because the qTip’s content is inserted as XHTML into the document, so it needs to be doubly encoded. default
binki	490910f07d79	13 years ago	Merge in partially-working half-semester support. default
binki	7e7e225d4d3f	13 years ago	Makg section_meeting_add() more specific about parameter types. default
binki	a24bc42b43e5	13 years ago	Fix autocomplete of departments for schools which do not crawl human-friendly department names, such as cedarville. default
binki	33415a1408d1	13 years ago	calvin: Remove unused variables from crawler. default
binki	3487a5b3cbfd	13 years ago	Fix some crawler utility functions to handle relative URI resolving correctly and be more flexible when parsing days. default
binki	5e29bc7ac9ff	13 years ago	Fill in more of the schedule search form for Calvin to fix an error that prevented crawling. default

Please use the means listed above to give us any feedback about slate_permutate's functionality. Thanks!

Installation Requirements:

PHP-enabled httpd (tested with apache, patches for supporting others welcome).
Access to PHP's CLI interface
libcURL extension to PHP (for Calvin's crawler and soon others).
json_encode()/json_decode() functions (as a PEAR addon or with the recent PHP versions).
PHP libraries - securimage-2.0.2 (optional) for captcha support for the feedback

form. http://phpcapatcha.org/ , see inc/config.example for details.

Installation:

Get a copy of slate_permutate. - development version:

$ hg clone http://protofusion.org/hg/SlatePermutate slate_permutate
- stable: not yet available.
copy inc/config.inc.example to inc/config.inc. Read and adjust settings as necessary.
copy .htaccess.example to .htaccess if you're interested in ``clean urls'' (corresponding to the $clean_urls option in config.inc).
run admin/rehash.php to populate the cache/ directory with information such as the list and rDNS information for schools in school.d.
ensure that the webserver has write-access to the saved_schedules/ folder because schedule storage is filesystem-based.
