Oracle Instant Client + oci8 for PHP and Apache on macOS Mojave #oracle #oci8 #php #macos
Tuesday, Mar 24 2020, 11:56 Database, Mac OS X, PHP, programming, Webserver Permalink
I was totally new to using Oracle Instant Client on macOS Mojave, so I had to spend days to figure out and try out on how to get it installed (easy) and how to get the oci8 shared library installed (the hard and most time-consuming part) for use with PHP at both the CLI and in Apache. I have been on many, many websites and read many, many instructions, and I want to thank everyone who put so much effort in clarifying something that actually should be very simple nowadays. After having read and tried so many tips and tricks, I ended up summarizing what worked for me, which I wrote down on Oracle Instant Client + OCI8 on Macos Mojave for PHP .

The Blogspot Stack 1.2.9 for Stacks with RapidWeaver

Version 1.2.9 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 05 Feb 2020
If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .
Changes, additions and fixes:
- Sorting of categories case-insensitive did not work with PHP7. This has been fixed.
- A new feature has been implemented to speed up the loading of Archive-links. Read below or see 'Smart Archives' tab next to the 'Version History' tab.
Smart Archives
Smart Archives is a feature to speed up loading of your blog. Its goal is to store archive links locally in a file, and with future requests of your webpage, read that file instead of querying Google again. The file is updated once a day, so one of your website visitors may experience slower loading times, but only when you have more than 500 posts in your archives.There are some important settings on the server to get this to work.
The Smart Archives feature assumes a subfolder 'files', which normally is created when publishing a Stacks-page:

This folder must be writable by Apache (the webserver).
If you use Panic's Transmit , then you can see if that is the case.
In the following examples, I will show you how that looks and how you can change it:
If Apache is mentioned as 'owner', the folder is writable and you do not have to change anything.
When Apache is mentioned as 'group', you have to click the empty circle for 'group' only, leaving the 'world'-circle empty, and click 'Apply' (do not click 'Apply to Enclosed'):

In my case, 'files' is not writable by Apache, because Apache is not mentioned as 'owner' or 'group', and 'world' may not write:

Click the empty circles under 'Write' to make the folder writable by 'group' and 'world' (i.e. any user), and click 'Apply' (do not click 'Apply to Enclosed'):

The Blogspot.stack checks if the subfolder 'files' is writable or not. If not, it will function normally as before, and pull the archives from Google on each webpage request.
The Blogspot Stack 1.2.8 for Stacks with RapidWeaver

Version 1.2.8 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 28 Nov 2019
If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .
Changes, additions and fixes:
- Google reduced the number of posts returned at a time to 150. Therefore some internals would jump to the wrong set of posts and so skip some posts that would then not be visible in the Archives-list.
- An error with an unused variable has been fixed.

The Blogspot Stack 1.2.7 for Stacks with RapidWeaver
Friday, Apr 05 2019, 17:23 Blog, HTML, Mac OS X, PHP, programming, RapidWeaver, SEO, software Permalink
Version 1.2.7 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 05 April 2019
If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .
Changes, additions and fixes:
- The use of the jump-break or 'Main page as summary' can break formatting of a post where DIV, SPAN, P and or PRE tags are used, because the closing tags would be missing. The Blogspot stack now tries calculates which closing tags are missing from DIV, SPAN, P and/or PRE tags, and adds them when needed. This ensures a correct display of your posts. But ... you should really limit the use of these tags in your posts, because even this smart solution might not work as expected.
- The 'Show comment count' now uses your Disqus shortname. In previous versions, it uses a hardcoded test-counter, so please update to this new version.
- Implemented Sparkle-updates so you can now update to new versions from within Yourhead Software’s Stacks plug-in .
The Blogspot Stack 1.2.6 for Stacks with RapidWeaver

Version 1.2.6 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 03 April 2019
If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .
Changes, additions and fixes:
- The 'jump-break' from Blogger is now honoured, regardless of the 'as a summary' setting. This means you can now add 'Read more...' links to single posts yourself, as you wish, without having to switch to 'Summary'-mode for all posts. A jump-break is added by entering <!--more--> in your text on the spot where you want the text to break. More info about the jump-break
- The 'Read more..' link is now only added when the length of the whole post is not equal to the length of the summary.
