II. Issues
2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:
We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.
-
Geo plugin no longer works: This issue reports that the Geo plugin has stopped functioning because it relies on a previously free API service that now requires a paid subscription, resulting in access being denied. The user suggests replacing the current API with an alternative service to restore functionality.
- The comment acknowledges the problem and discusses the possibility of deprecating the Geo plugin entirely since the PHP geoip extension is no longer supported in PHP 8+, and the current API was only a fallback; an update has been made in version 4, but removal of the feature is being considered.
- 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, enhanced logging for suspicious sessions, and configurable thresholds that better accommodate environments with frequently changing IP addresses, such as mobile networks, thereby balancing security with usability. - Documentation: ERROR.trace is string not array(): This issue highlights a discrepancy in the documentation regarding the
ERROR.tracevariable, where the User Guide incorrectly states that it is stored as an array, while the quick reference 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. - 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, within the project. The reporter highlights the discovery that the
factory(array $row)function, although documented as protected, is actually public and useful for creating attached objects that can be updated directly, and suggests that the documentation forcopyfromandfactoryshould be improved to clarify their differences and appropriate use cases. - Difference between master.zip on the official website and 3.9.0-Release on gitHub: This issue addresses a discrepancy between the master.zip file available on the official website and the 3.9.0-Release version on GitHub, specifically noting that the file
web/oauth2.phpdiffers between these two sources. The reporter is seeking clarification on which version of this file is the correct or authoritative one.
