Hm, me neither... been about 4 hours now.

Alright, I create a support ticket for it: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1170134&gro...

Feel free to add comments if you have any.

In the meantime, I'll change the passwords in the DB to my own temp ones, and email it to those I see have registered.

Okay... I've made some changes. wp-register.php no longer tries to email you your password -- it's just displayed right there. I couldn't do this with an action hook without making things totally ugly, so I've just modified the file directly. Hopefully Sourceforge will sort out their spam problems sometime and then we can put it back.

Everyone who has registered an account previously should have been emailed a password by me. If you haven't got yours, please email me again.

In other news, for those who are using the Inkscape website locally: I deleted wp-config.php from CVS. This file is different depending on each user, and we don't want anyone accidentally committing their passwords to CVS. A template of the file is found in wp-config-sample.php -- just copy that over and make the necessary changes.

Regards, Jon

Hello there!

We at the Hydrogen project had a similar problem prior to moving to a dedicated host: the mail() command in PHP won't work as SF doesn't allow sending mail.

What I can offer to you is the same workaround we used there back then: I can put a script for you at my host (a dedicated host for such purposes, e.g. http://spool.artemio.net/inkscape/sendmail.php), and then you would use PHP to send data to this script via get or post method (e.g. e-mail, user name, password, etc. - I can write the code for you) and it would send an e-mail.

Hi me back at artemio@...411... if you want such help. As Inkscape is what I use in about 30% of my PC work time, I'd be glad to do this.

Artemio.

Hi Artemio,

Thanks for your offer, however, I don't think that it's really necessary. The only reason we'd *need* mail is to send people their passwords, which we can just print out for them on-screen anyway. Yeah, it would be better because we could verify that they had entered a valid email address, but I don't think that's a big problem. If it becomes a problem then we can reconsider, but my feeling is that adding requests to a remote host like this would add in an unnecessary layer of complication.

Also, it would require some hacking of the WordPress mail function(s) in order to get it to use your mail script. I'm reluctant to do that as it makes updating more of a difficulty.

Cheers, Jon

Hi, all..

Slashdot.org has this tag in their header:

<LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="Slashdot RSS" HREF="//slashdot.org/index.rss" TYPE="application/rss+xml">

This allows RSS-enabled browsers like Firefox to fetch the RSS data automatically.

Try it in Firefox. Go to /., and look at the icon in the lower/left. This will add the RSS feed to your bookmarks.

Could we have a tag like that on Inkscape's page?

Bob
