If you frequent my site, you'll notice that I
update it and the projects I create quite a bit. Due to size and
scope, updates are scattered all around. This listing serves as a
quick reference for those who only want to look at the newest changes.
By default, the latest 15 updates are listed below (with links to the
changed or added content). If you are looking for a specific area of the
site, use the search field above or use the site nav links in the top
right and bottom right of the page. Area specific links are typically on the
left side
[ /sean ] :: Site ID page change. Note the "wrench" icon preceding the pathname title at the top of the page. Clicking on the wrench on any page generated by my content system will output additional CATS debug info by appending "&debug=y" to the end of every URL here. This lets you see what the script is doing behind the scenes. Plus it gives me an easy 1 click option to toggle into debug mode without having to type it into the URL every time I need it. Moved coding around to optimize speed and allow for function skipping when required parameters are not present.

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: Wrote in some [DATA] array testing after performing [WHERE] and [SEARCH] functions to make sure we don't start trying to do array stuff on an empty array which would break things that would normally happen after a valid set of [DATA] was returned. Empty arrays results return an image of a goose egg.

[ / ] :: Updated site posted to www.shrum.net. Minor changes to site theme page but tweaked the content just about everywhere. My CATS script is now compliant on both my local and remote servers (no more error_log entries).

[ /sean ] :: Reverted back to a site splash entry (a 4y word cloud of my blog from many years ago) when using sean.shrum.net or shrum.net/sean URLs versus throwing everyone directly into the updates page. It was laying around so figured I'd use it. Calls to shrum.net and www.shrum.net still get Diana's project site.

[ / ] :: Shrum.net entry page now forks based on family member. I tested Diana's site in a subfolder and nothing broke. I moved it under her subdomain at diana.shrum.net.

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: Sorting tweaks. Sorting was executing in "case sensitive" mode. Capitalized words would appear ahead of lower cased. Inserted "SORT_NATURAL|SORT_FLAG_CASE" into array_multisort() calls to address this issue.

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: Added code to use $aScript['subdomain'] to create cyclical link between 'local.[domainname]' and 'www.[domainname]' to allow for 1 click switching between development server and live server

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: Optimization; [search] bails out when conditions do not match user requested terms. This will greatly decrease search times on large data sets. Added '^' for defining a case sensitive search term as all other searches case insensitive (fuzzy). Version rev 4.12.

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: [in] parameter now handles user defined field(s) selection for [search] and provides more robust filtering options using conditional operators (+/-/"/^). Going forward, the following SQL parameters are deprecated and no longer used with CATS directly (can still be used by plugins): [select], [from], [group], [sql].

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: Recordnum counter was not respecting actual record number when displayed as part of a [limit] set, was resetting to '1' on page 2, 3, etc. Adding $aRecordset['start'] to $iRecord fixed this.
[

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: Added sort on CATS [search] operators, gives the following order of operation: - (not include), + (must include), none (or), ^ (case sensitive or), " (phrase or) which allows me to halt additional processing on multi term search strings if NOT or AND conditions are not met first (OR conditions skipped).

[ /sean/code/cats ] :: RECORD2,3,4 parameters are now depreciated and no longer supported. Never used these and really can't see a situation where multiple record templates would be needed. Site documentation updated.
[
edit
]
[ /sean/code/cats ] :: [where] is now a "server side" protected parameter (if user tries to overwrite or NULL the parameter via the query string, it is ignored). This allows webmasters to filter recordsets prior to passing [DATA] to the user to view and start doing searches on. Ultimately, the best place to do filtering is in a plugin but this gives a more flexible option for when it's needed instead of creating multiple plugins that require redundant coding.
