Kafman detected a bug really caused by a lack of information.

I said nowhere that to access the manager you have to go to:
http://.../KSMAS/?mode=access

Leo finished the design of the Manager and Access pages from the version you have, so I think it's time for 0.2 BETA

Edit: BETA 2 released, check out http://sf.net/projects/ksmas for further information and download

Lookin Great Guys!

Hard bug found!

lizard.boy and Kao reported me a bug:

KSMAS folder can't be deleted manually, the user id is "Unknown".

The reason for this bug is that the folder and the files are created by PHP, who runs on another user id than any FTP user. Server Admins should be able to change the uid. However, the only affordable way is to create an uninstaller for KSMAS, since PHP could delete the files. (I wonder how PHP could delete the setup script... ).

I have not much time, now, but I'll make a fix ASAP.

Sorry for the inconveniences it may cause

a php file can delete itself if that what you mean..

No, it's KSMAS/index.php who deletes setup.ph and setup.php is owned by the user who uploaded it and not by PHP.

It looks that in some places PHP has a higher privilege than the user itself .

Well, I'll try to find a fix, ntl.

Yep, while testing (0.01 ALPHA, 0.1 BETA, 0.2 BETA) I had to rename the folders to run the setup.. cuz I couldn't delete it...

well an alternative would be to make the user create the directory to install ksmas in? would that be an idea keystorm? that way the user could also specify what he/she wants

Well... It was inicially thought as an "avatar for dummies", but it's also useful for experienced lazy users/coders... so I'll think about a middle point for that. Easy but more customizable.

Or maybe another different ppackage for expert users.

Btw, now we are at it, I will release the multi users version separately initially, and mergeing it later if given the case.

(leito.gt, you should've said something )

But the installer could create a KSMAS folder.... and just overwrite the files in it.. when updatint to a new KSMAS version, that way it could be easy to use... and will not envolve deleting the folder.

Edit: In bold cuz that the important part of the message! hope you understand it.

Keystorm can you add the php masking in the next beta?
Because i want to use my dynamic avatar at some IPB forums

Thanks!
