#kiki — Public Fediverse posts

@maz yikes. that would certainly explain why it can't find the rss file to write to!

v1.1.9 shipped with these options in settings.php:

// sets the filename used for the generated rss feed
$rss_file = "rss.xml";

// rss directory
// by default, uses the site's root folder
$rss_dir = "./";

// error and layout pages
$rss_document = $rss_dir . $rss_file;

if any of those aren't set properly, it's definitely going to have problems writing to $rss_document :)

this kind of situation usually happens when you've got an older version of kiki installed, and then upgrade to a newer version and forget to upgrade settings.php as well. (e.g. upgrading from v1.1.5 to v1.1.9). i sometimes have to add new variables to settings.php, so new features can be added

@maz masto is definitely the best place for bug reports - you're doing it all right! :) having them posted publicly gives everyone into #kiki a chance to chime in and stay in the loop with features/problems.

that's an interesting problem! it appears to be a file permissions issue with rss.xml.

things to check:
- php needs to have write permission for that file - can you confirm the file's RWX permissions on the server? according to nearlyfreespeech's faq, the web server is running on freebsd - so the command should be:
ls -al rss.xml

- if the permissions are OK, it's possible there is a problem with the file's path or filename. we can see which filepath it's trying to write by adding this line to library/rss.php after line 132 (before it tries to fopen):
echo("I'm trying to access the rss file here: " . $rss_document);

this will print the filepath to the browser when you load a page. if the filepath doesn't look right to you (e.g. it doesn't match the actual location of rss.xml on the server), then you can make adjustments in settings.php to $rss_dir and $rss_file if necessary.

@maz thank you for being so patient. debugging this without access to the machine this is on is challenging 😅

if you've still got the energy to keep picking at this, i've added some extra null checks. this one might work better for you.

try replacing compare_pages_by_date() with this code instead:

// utility function to compare two pages, and return the newer one
function compare_pages_by_date($pageA, $pageB)
{
// page A
$pageA_source = file($pageA);
$page_dataA = extract_header_and_content($pageA_source);
if ($page_dataA !== null && array_key_exists("header", $page_dataA))
$page_dateA = get_header_key($page_dataA['header'], "date");

// page B
$pageB_source = file($pageB);
$page_dataB = extract_header_and_content($pageB_source);

if ($page_dataB !== null && array_key_exists("header", $page_dataB))
$page_dateB = get_header_key($page_dataB['header'], "date");

// make sure that the page dates exist before comparing, and return comparison
// this is really ugly because usort no longer supports returning bools
if ($page_dateA !== null && $page_dateB !== null)
{
if ($page_dateA == $page_dateB)
return 0;
elseif ($page_dateA < $page_dateB)
return -1;
else
return 1;
}
// sorry, we have no page dates to compare
else
return 0;

@maz since i can't really replicate the bug on my end, maybe improving the function that's giving you fits would be a better solution. can you try replacing the entire function compare_pages_by_date() in page.php (it starts at line 522) with this code:

// utility function to compare two pages, and return the newer one
function compare_pages_by_date($pageA, $pageB)
{
// page A
$pageA_source = file($pageA);
$page_dataA = extract_header_and_content($pageA_source);
if (array_key_exists("header", $page_dataA))
$page_dateA = get_header_key($page_dataA['header'], "date");

// page B
$pageB_source = file($pageB);
$page_dataB = extract_header_and_content($pageB_source);

if (array_key_exists("header", $page_dataB))
$page_dateB = get_header_key($page_dataB['header'], "date");

@maz wooo welcome new kiki sysop! :D

hmmmm i just tried using that style of link in several places, including on a page and in a menu, and both worked without errors on my end.

e.g. in bug format:
[&tag=post&sort=newest]{My Posts Sorted from Newest To Oldest}

or as an url:
index.php?&tag=post&sort=newest

can you tell me more about how/where you're trying to use that link (as well as the exact bug syntax or url you're using for the link) so i can replicate the error?

thank you kiki sysops for keeping this tiny web alive with your experiments and feats. i haven't had to touch wordpress in two years and counting thanks to you 🙏

@ehushagen edit: that is most definitely NOT covered on the help page 😩 looks like i had a bunch of edits made to the help page that weren't included in the last update.

the keyword you're looking for is:
sort:newest

@vga256 Hi! Sorry, I have another question.

The !{show pages with tags:post} works perfectly - thank you for that! Is there a way, though, to have those posts sorted with the most recent first? They are currently being displayed oldest first.

I've tried poking around with &sort=newest but not had any luck.

I've been playing around with #kiki (https://tomotama.com/kiki) and I adore it. This is everything I'm looking for to replace a chonky Wordpress installation.

Small snag, though, and I hope someone has insight: how do I create a page of posts like a traditional blog?

I’ve also moved the website from being hosted on my #Synology NAS to a Raspberry Pi running #Yunohost.

Yunohost itself is an absolute dream. It makes setting up subdomains an absolute doddle. The apps that can be installed on it vary in quality though.

Some are perfect. Others basically unusable. Most require a degree of technical knowledge that undermines yunohost's purpose of making self-hosting something anyone can do. If the solution to anything involves SSH voodoo then it is not user friendly.

@vga256 I'm experimenting with #kiki but I'm struggling to get going since I usually develop using ddev, and that requires port numbers on the url.

eg. a link in bug: [help/start]{help index} will be presented by kiki in html as "https://kiki.ddev.site/help/start", when I need it to be either just "/help/start" or "https://kiki.ddev.site:8843/help/start".

I found that editing /library/utils on line 209 to add
```
. ":" . $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PORT']
```
after the $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] works, but I will have to disable that come deployment time. Is there a better way, or should I make it more robust and include a port number in settings and then send you a PR?

To get to a new level for my drawings, I decided to draw from artists I like.

And who could be the best to start with? David Revoy, an artist who translated the open-source principle to art and comics. Maybe you know his Pepper & Carrot comic series.

And because I work with Krita I picked the Kiki interpretation of @davidrevoy to re-draw freely.
Thanks, David, for your inspiring art.

And just to let you know, I won't stop Procedural Art and Sculpting.

Kiki – a tiny homepage construction kit with a small footprint

https://tomotama.com/kiki

#HackerNews #Kiki #Homepage #Construction #Kit #tiny #footprint #webdevelopment #design #tools

after months of behind the scenes coding, i'm happy to announce the re-launch of my podcast: CD-ROM Safari!

if you're new to the show, it's a friendly and welcoming look at multimedia software of the 1990s.

i've rebuilt the entire site to use kiki, my php-based homepage construction kit. it now generates podcast RSS feeds on the fly, along with nice cover art and episode metadata :D

prior episodes (from 2018 to early 2026) have been archived into season 1.

the new episode, posted 5 minutes ago, is the first episode of season 2. it's a relaunch of the show, along with a whole new website to facilitate software preservation for educational games, edutainment and multimedia.

the website: https://cd-rom.ca/podcast

podcast rss 2.0: https://cd-rom.ca/podcast.xml

apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cd-rom-safari-podcast/id1393890581

enjoy the show :D
