System commands vs. native PHP-functions, Part II. (xoda-0.4.3)

XODA-0.4.1 was released after rewriting some system functions using native PHP-code. Benchmarking some native PHP-functions against their system counterparts showed that the native ones work faster. This gave me the motivation to do the (at least partial) switch.

Now I was thinking about going on and rewriting the xd_search function and getting rid of the execs there. Before doing that, I decided to do another benchmark of several native PHP-approaches for recursive directory listing (found mostly on php.net/scandir) against the Linux/UNIX `find`. The results were interesting.

Using Lightbox2 with XODA

Recently Anthony suggested using Lightbox2 instead of iBox for image viewing which would add automatically a slideshow to the stored images in XODA. Lightbox2 is a widespread JavaScript *box using prototype and scriptaculo.us. It is increadibly stable (last change was 2008!) and works out of the "box" :).

I just wrote a tutorial how to use Lightbox2 with XODA. Take a look at it at XODA.talks and let me know should you have any problems with it.

Enjoy! :)

XODA Logo

In the announcement of the XODA-0.1.0 release, I mentioned the apps contest of DreamHost. Now I submitted XODA but had to "create" a logo, since this was a requirement. Here you have it, should anyone be interested in:

And here is the 72x72 version:

Are you a great graphics designer? Please feel free to play with your imagination and send me another one! :)

Installation

Installing XODA is easy. Unpack the file xoda-*tar.bz2 (`tar -jxvf xoda-*tar.bz2`) wherever you want. Open "config.php" with you favorite text editor and set the defined constants in the beginning of the file to suit your needs. Important is to set the constant "ROOT_DIR". This is the directory, where your files are. It is recommended that this directory is set to a subdirectory of the path where "index.php" is hosted.

Since version 0.1.5 the configuration file is 'config.sample.php' and is included just as a sample file which you should rename to 'config.php' before starting using XODA.

Login
Username: admin (if you didn't change it in 'config.php')
Password: xoda
You should change your password at this point from "Settings -> Password".
