We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.
-
Trouble with Set function in templates: This issue describes a problem encountered when using the Set function in Fat-Free Framework templates, specifically when attempting to combine text and a variable within the same Set statement. The user reports an error indicating an undefined constant when mixing text and variable interpolation, which results in invalid PHP code being generated in the cache file.
- The comment explains that mixing text and variables directly in the Set function is not supported and suggests concatenating the string and variable using the correct syntax. It also references the official documentation section "Templates Within Templates" that clarifies the proper and improper ways to include variables in templates.
- Number of comments this week: 1
Since there were fewer than 5 open issues, all of the open issues have been listed above.
2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:
We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.
- Proposal for Enhancing Session Security in Fat-Free Framework: This issue proposes an enhancement to the session handling mechanism in the Fat-Free Framework by introducing a more flexible and nuanced threat level assessment system within the
read()function. The suggested improvements include customizable handling of high-threat situations, configurable thresholds for threat levels and inactivity timeouts, and enhanced logging for suspicious sessions, aiming to better balance security and usability, especially in environments with frequently changing IP addresses like mobile networks. - Documentation: ERROR.trace is string not array(): This issue highlights a discrepancy in the documentation regarding the
ERROR.tracevariable, where one section incorrectly states that it is stored as an array, while another correctly identifies it as a string. The reporter points out that this inconsistency caused confusion and suggests correcting the User Guide to accurately reflect thatERROR.traceis a string, improving clarity for users. - beforeInsert hook throws 500 error with Mongo Mapper: This issue reports a problem where the beforeInsert hook in the Mongo Mapper triggers a 500 error due to an undefined "_id" array key, even when the hook function is empty. The user notes that this error occurs during insertion with PHP 8.0.30, MongoDB 7.0.11, and the Fat-Free Framework 3.9.0, while the beforeUpdate hook functions correctly without errors.
- Incomplete/inexact documentation on how to update a "transient" entity.: This issue addresses the lack of clear and precise documentation on how to update a "transient" entity, specifically one derived from a non-updatable database view. The author highlights the discovery that the
factory(array $row)function, although documented as protected, is actually public and useful for creating attached objects for updates, and suggests that the documentation forcopyfromandfactoryshould be cross-referenced to clarify their differences and appropriate use cases. Since there were fewer than 5 open issues, all of the open issues have been listed above.
