Linkedin, Firefox and weird behaviour

Since a few weeks I am seeing this weird behaviour on Linkedin.com. When you are on the homepage (have not verified other pages yet) and you click on the url field of Firefox to go to Xing.com (maybe other url’s work too) you will not end up on Xing but on a Linkedin searchresult page.

This is a strange behaviour. It’s not clear to me (have not looked at the js sources Linkedin uses) if this is intended or some kind of problem with Firefox on Mac OSX Tiger. It is annoying.

Anyone else able to reproduce this kind of behaviour?

Tcms, importing webui 5.x data

Currently I have created an import script for importing all kinds of data from WebGUI 5.x data into tcms. It can import the following:

• Users (need to write some code to authenticate the users with their webgui password)
• Groups
• The complete recursive menu structure. (need to find the best tcms way to give user rights to it).
• Concatted article wobjects, all having their own div class

The script only needed some 150 lines of code and takes about 10 seconds on a slow ppc. I hope to keep the total number of lines at around 200 when it is fully finished.

What’s next?

I will concentrate on the gui of tcms. Currently it supports some features but it lacks basic stuff such as adding meta data to a page, grant user/group rights, etc.. Hope to have this done in a few weeks.

After that I will clean up the code, make a first audit on security and then release it to a small audience for some feedback. Maybe even setup a hackme version.

I’ve also started to think about the license. It will have a dual license so I am able to give back to the community and make some money on it myself. Need to think about the full details on this.

tcms en ajax

Jaja, ik ben gezwicht. Heb me vanavond eens verder weten te verdiepen in ajax en weet nu zeker dat ik het verder in ga zetten. De trigger er voor is/was dat ik straks met grote aantallen gebruikers wil werken en zeker aan de admin kant snel wil kunnen zoeken op gebruikers, groepen, etc… De eerste testen werken erg snel, ik kan nu erg snel een lijst met 20 gebruikers tevoorschijn halen zonder indexen op het specifieke veld. Dat gaat dus nog wat beloven.
