A very good post (in french unfortunately) about the usage of Posh in the enterprise : http://www.techitsway.info/2009/09/16/portaneo/comment-page-1/#comment-2692

Sourceforge has a new beautiful website. But it is not possible to download Posh files because project contains & which is bad replaced by Sourceforge.

We have sent a request to Sourceforge support. While they correct, we added files on Portaneo website.

Norwegian, turkish recently, Posh, our Portaneo enterprise portal, is available in another language: chinese.

To obtain chinese version, you have to get sql file from translator.portaneo.com, then import this file in your own Posh Portal. Once file is uploaded, you must regenerate language files.

Steps to update language

In administrator panel, go to the configuration tab and click on languages management.

Then click on languages files

Then, upload the file you get on translator.portaneo.com

If uploading is too long, uncomment line in /admin/.htaccess file and change number to 30000

When uploading is finished, you have a message. You can regenerate language files of your Posh Portal.

Posh, or Portaneo enterprise portal, is translated in more than ten languages (English, french, german, norwegian, turkish, Italian, spanish, thai, Polish, greek, dutch). Some translation are incomplete.

We have added checking on magic quotes while setup and We recommand that magic quotes are disabled. With magic quotes, some widgets cannot be added or some errors can happen which prevent widgets to work.

But in some case, like web hosting, you can disable magic quotes only in root directory. I saw that you can add php.ini in your root directory. In this php.ini, you add following line: magic_quotes_gpc = Off

and you can finish setup.

But this configuration is available only for root directory, not for subdirectory like tutorial or admin. If you add php.ini in subdirectory, sessions are reset and you are automatically disconnected.

You have no rights to change this configuration in .htaccess file (php flag are not authorized in these files).

So we have added some update to allow you widget creating even if your magic quotes are set to on. It is available in next patch we release today (2009/06/22).

If you have root rights on your server and access to php.ini modify this file and reload your http server or add authorization on .htaccess files.

Localized, updated, improved, our calendar widget is now available in open source part of our website.

This widget is compatible with Igoogle API and localized api (even though it would be difficult, but not impossible, to use it on Igoogle), so to add labels in any languages, you can create new xml file, translate labels and send it to us.

In new widgets, localization will be set in external xml files only.

This widget, and others, is already available in last stable version of Posh (or Portaneo enterprise portal).

We have decided to release a patched version of our dear Posh (Portaneo, same thing but portal for enterprise).

We saw some bugs in display (option menu or rss reader).

We added norvegian version, translated last week. (for your information, if you like Posh and want get Posh in your own language, you can contact us, ask a login and translate, then you can import new translation in your Posh installation at any time, see our Posh translator)

We also added german in install process. It is the last version in which a language will be added in installation process. For other languages, we are thinking about method to manage any language you want and not get all languages (it would be the case if we use the current method). We think you don't need zulu in chinese version or italian in norvegian version of your Posh open source Portal.

The open source part of our website is ready now, so we'll publish there new version of localized Portaneo widgets.

Magic quotes must be set to off on any web server.

We are proud to announce that Posh (aka Portaneo) supports localized widgets, following Igoogle API.

Big question, isn't it ?

I am sure every Posh administrator who put his Posh portal down under maintenance needed to solve this question: "and now how can I come back to my web admin interface ?"

It is explained in plugin interface, but we don't read always these f... manual.

redirect users to the maintenance page.

Just disable this plugin to give access again to your application.

To access your application even if the plugin is enabled,

you can connect on portal/login.php?key=__KEY defined in the includes/config.inc.php file

Yes, you can check it on your Posh, this message exists.

So in next release (stable), message will be written red on yellow, and bold size ;)

And if you need some plugins, you can look at posh plugins page.

Between 2 releases of Posh (RC and stable version, this last one will be released in some days), we are working hard (yes) to transform original posh widgets in internationalized widgets, Igoogle-like. (Widgets done: calendar widget, notes widget, clock widget).

We have also updated original opensource website of Posh, part of the website where you can add a widget, find widgets you are missing, find a plugin or post a new plugin. Simple, but efficient web interface, we have updated it today.

I am sure you didn't know we have a weather widget (in French, sorry).

We also added French version (Trouver un widget posh en français c'est désormais possible).

Moreover, with this new version, we can add parts in other languages to make easier for you searching new widget or adding new plugin for Posh in your own language.

You need a Netvibes source to import a Netvibe widget in your Posh portal.

We know it is not always easy to see. I make the same mistake some months ago :)

When you are in posh tutorial and you choose Netvibes import, you can see a help button. This help displays a screen copy of netvibes page where "source" word has red border (right side of the page).

A bonus gift to help our widget builders: How to create a widget (Créer un widget en français).

We are proud to announce that Posh 2.1 is now in Release candidate version.

We added widget internationalization, to have widget language corresponding to portal language. This was the main reason why some iGoogle widgets did not work. After this, we have tested many Igoogle and Netvibes Widgets successfully !

Here are all changes of the RC version :

PORTALS: Widget Internationalization

PORTALS: Alerts management on the home page

PORTALS: Some bug fixes

PORTALS: Added thai language

PORTALS: magic quotes disabled in all cases

Hope you will like it. Feedbacks, bugs reports are welcome in the forum.

2.1 Stable version is planned for mid may.
