A few days ago i installed Windows 8 on my desktop computer. Today i checked out some of my C++ projects to build them, but the *.vcproj file generation of CMake didn’t work, because of the following error message by the FindQt4.cmake script:
Social Engine (MySQL) search problems
A few weeks ago i installed a new document plugin into my SocialEngine environment and after a couple days some customers mentioned that they can’t find their uploaded documents by the search box.
Qt HTTP Request in a single function
Qt often requires to implement custom slot methods which are invoked from the event queue, so does the QNetworkAccessManager. In some cases it is useful to handle a complete HTTP request in a single method, instead of implementing some custom slots which handle the HTTP traffic.
iF.SVNAdmin 1.6.1 released – CRITICAL
I have just released the 1.6.1 as a critical bug fix release. Everyone who used 1.6.0 should upgrade to this version, otherwise your Subversion authorization file may get damaged, if you unassign a user from an Access-Path.
Download here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ifsvnadmin/files/
iF.SVNAdmin 1.6.0 released
After a long time its done. The newest version 1.6.0 is now released. You can download it from the sourceforge.net or download/fork from GitHub project page.
Short list of changes:
Issues 1.6.0 on GitHub
(+ a lot more which are not tracked)
Whats about the documentation with the new configuration possibilities?
I work on it and will probably upload it to the new project page today.
PHP 5.4 Released
Finally PHP 5.4 has been released!
It contains the bug fix for the actually missing feature to receive more than 1000 items from LDAP server. I will build in the new paged LDAP search results support to iF.SVNAdmin as soon as possible and provide it as new release.
Update: The current trunk of iF.SVNAdmin source supports more than 1000 users now (with PHP 5.4)!
SocialEngine Ning Import
A few weeks ago i created a small Java program which makes it possible to merge multiple Ning-Portals into one Social-Engine Community site by merging the backup files of all Ning-Portals into one (because Social-Engine can only import one Ning-Portal).
Well… today i tried to import a backup with about 15.000 members (including profile information and profile pictures) and got a “Memory Exceeded” error. Ok, until here no problem. Changing the “memory_limit” in php.ini file should fix the problem…
it doesn’t…
Well… very long story and a lot of terrifying emotions later i found out that there is not call to ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ’128M’), but in the “<SE_ROOT>/install/” directory is a .htaccess file with the following block:
<IfModule mod_php5.c> php_value post_max_size 100M php_value upload_max_filesize 100M php_value max_input_time 600 php_value max_execution_time 600 php_value memory_limit 128M </IfModule>
Commenting out (or increase) the “php_value memory_limit XXX” row finally fixed the problem and i was able to import the huge amount of data.
At least, I really have no idea why the SE team decided to set those values for the Import-Tools (Admin-Only) but nowhere else for the public accessible pages.
iF.SVNAdmin sources on GitHub
I decided to host the sources of iF.SVNAdmin on GitHub. It provides a better way for contributions and user commits (forks and pull-requests).
I made a lot of changes since the last release, which are actually not 100% compatible. What means that you should prefer a clean install, but copy the “config/config.ini” and “config/userroleassignments.ini” files.
Note: It’s not an official release of a new version.
The biggest change is the deletion of the custom Template Engine and a new way to handle Exceptions. I also made a few bug fixes to the LDAP interface, but still have encoding problems when using LDAPv2-Protocol (Protocol version 3 works great with AD!).

Thanks again for all patches i recieved.
