Dunno how relevant this is but anyway:

Thanks everyone, no need to report every incident though. It's being monitored.

@salass00

Want me to set up a project for you?

@Amigo1

You'd be surprised.

@clint

Already have that info, but thanks anyway.

"uploader" is back. This time supplying someone elses email when uploading. (kas1e's email in this case)

Any idea how to tackle this? The next step would be to verify all uploads via email ...

Fixed.

It submitted properly and got stored in the database. However when displaying it on the web page the htmlentities PHP command could not convert it and returned an empty string due to it containing some character it didn't understand. I'm now converting it to UTF-8 before processing it with htmlentities and it displays correctly.

Send it to me via email and I'll see what I can do.

I've made email verification automatic on OS4depot.

If your email address is not verified when uploading your file an email will be sent to you automatically. Replying to the email will verify your address. If a reply isn't received it will fall back to manual handling.

Regular file approving/publishing is still manual though.

Thanks all, just remember that this is an old thread that ChrisH revived :)

We usually wait a bit into december before activating the snowfall.

@LiveForIt

It's empty.

@LiveForIt

Still waiting for you to check your email....

@LiveForIt

Check your email ....

@ferrels

Yeah, seriously understaffed and lack of funds has left their ability to deliver their promises in state where there's quite a bit to be desired.

Nevertheless, my guess is that Thomas and Olaf won't be caught up in all that, at least not for the coming release.

As a side note, I wish Hyperion would make it easier for third parties to make OS4 hardware drivers and stop taking all that upon themselves. They just don't have the resources to manage that on their own.

64Bit filesystem support amongst other things.

Update list

@ChrisH

I still have your verification and reply email on my gmail account.

It's been a little over a year since I introduced the email verification procedure on OS4Depot.

The reason for adding it was because files were being uploaded anonymously and OS4Depot got a lot of complaints about files that was uploaded without permission from the original author.

The current mechanism means that every upload must have a valid and verified email address. With the verification having to be renewed every year.

I was just wondering what people think about this solution. Both uploaders, downloaders and those who no longer gets their files uploaded without permission.

In short:

What are your thoughts about the email verification so far.

@m1nuto

From the manual:

$OS4DEPOT [ON/OFF/RECENT] - Turn on, off OS4Depot view or show recent files

Create a user button using that command. You might need to set an OS4Depot: assign as well if I remember correctly. It uses wget to download files so you need that installed as well.

Btw, please do not post crash logs in the forum here. Use http://crashlog.os4depot.net/ and post the quick link here instead.


Edit: Found the full section on it in the manual:

Filer also has a built in OS4Depot browser.
