5 years spamcollect – Happy Birthday

Sunday, April 22nd, 2012 | Permalink

Actually I was quite surprised when I realized that I am maintaining this blog now since 5 years.

Initial idea was just to store things I had trouble with and found a solution. So I don’t have to use Google or any other search engine.

I have to say I am also quite surprised that the PHPList Hack is since years the most popular one I have wrote. Seems like the system is used widely but not as open as expected.

Also one of my favorite posts is the one about SLES 10 sucks. Especially the comments section is fun.

Lets see what the next years will bring.

Fixed! – SugarCRM – Module Loader blank page after installing module

Wednesday, April 11th, 2012 | Permalink

This took me a while till I found a solution. The module builder in SugarCRM seems to have a bug. Whenever you install something using the module loader, the system seems to kind of crash. The module loader page is not showing anything any more except the saying “Module Loader”. This seems to be a bug in all 6.2.x versions.

I found a solution here.

Goto the file ModuleInstall/PackageManager/PackageManager.php and edit line 668.

change:

$target_manifest = remove_file_extension( $upgrade_content ) . '-manifest.php';

to:

$target_manifest = UploadFile::realpath(remove_file_extension( $upgrade_content ) . '-manifest.php');

How to copy all files including hidden ones on linux

Sunday, April 8th, 2012 | Permalink

I tried to copy all files using the cp under linux. Unfortunately in the usual case this is only copying the normal files. Things like .htaccess or .ssh directories are not being copied.

There is a simple solution for that. Just add the following line to the bash / shell you want to do the copy from.

shopt -s dotglob

This sets kind of a “global / all files”.

Ever asked yourself how long it takes till Apple approves your App?

Friday, April 6th, 2012 | Permalink

There is no general answer to this, but from my experience it takes around one week usually.

I have submitted four apps within the last three months and in general there was a waiting time of one week.
Honestly this is a hard time for a developer. In some cases (2 out of 4) Apple decided not to approve the app and rejected it.

I wonder how long this takes for the Google Android market.
