How to add your Hubzilla channel to Fediverse.info

How to add your Hubzilla channel to Fediverse.info

If you want to add your Hubzilla channel to the project-independent Fediverse People Directory at Fediverse.info, but you’re struggling to get it submitted, here is a how-to which worked at least for me.

Step 0: Obviously, you have to have PubCrawl activated. Being on Fediverse.info is kind of senseless without PubCrawl because it’s mostly for a Mastodon audience. If you don’t want to have PubCrawl on, stop right here and rely on Hubzilla’s own directories instead.

Step 1: Prepare your profile. If you’ve got multiple profiles, prepare your default profile. Edit it. Open the « Miscellaneous » tab.

There you have to edit the « About me » field. It’s the equivalent of the self-description on Mastodon, so it’ll be your Fediverse.info profile text. Describe yourself there.

At the bottom, add hashtags. Fediverse.info reads hashtags, but since it’s built against Mastodon, it can’t read Hubzilla’s keyword field. It can only read hashtags from the « About me » field.

Most importantly: Add the hashtag #fedi22. Fediverse.info won’t add your channel without it.

Step 2: Let the changes settle. Don’t advance to the next step until at least 15 minutes later. Maybe do something else in the meantime. But don’t forget what you were doing here.

Step 3: Go to the Fediverse.info directory page (see the link at the top).. Click on « Add Account ». Go on and confirm that you’ve added #fedi22 to your profile. If you haven’t, go back to step 1 and 2 and come back to step 3 later.

Step 4: Add your full channel URL. Only this works. Your Webfinger ID (kris@hub.libranet.de) does not, neither does your profile URL.

Step 5: Click Proceed.

You should get a message that includes the hashtags discovered in the « About me » field except for #fedi22. This means your channel has been added.

This method might also work with (streams), only that Fediverse.info doesn’t know (streams), and most (streams) instances don’t identify as « Streams » anyway.

Friendica
How to install Friendica with Yunohost

How to install Friendica with Yunohost

Friendica is a wonderfull and powerfull social network you can install easily yourself with just few lines of commands.

This is not a detail way how to do it. But just a missing part of the official documentation.

You have a server with yunohost. If you don’t know how to install yunohost go the official documentation of yunohost. But I can give you how to do it in 2 lines

  1. Install Debian
  2. Connect with ssh to your debian server and type
curl https://install.yunohost.org | bash

Prepare a domain or subdomain for your friendica

Admin > Domain > Add follow the instruction …

Then Admin > Application > Add

Just let yunohost working…. Have a tea…

The documentation explain « For admin rights: When installation is complete, you will need to visit your new hub’s page and login with the admin account username which was entered at the time of installation process. You should then be able to create your first channel and have the admin rights for the hub. »

Now I will translate this misterious sentense.

You must know the email of yunohost admin and have acces on it. I did a redirection because I don’t need yunohost email.

Then create and account with this email (admin of yunohost). You will receive by mail a password. Then you can access to you friendica and have administration.

Sometimes it is important to close registration.

More information about Friendica

Using Yunohost save you time. It configure for you all the server and the domain. You can use Friendica for you family, your group or for yourself. You will be able to communicate with the whole Fediverse, with Twitter and many other plateforme.

If this tutorial helps you just tell it on the comment. By the way you can add this blog in your contact if you already have a fediverse account (Pleroma, Mastodon, Hubzilla etc…) Just add kris@kris.aga.ovh and you will be allowed to comment directly from your fediverse account.

Have fun

Important additional information : Friendica does not work with this kind of installation. I didn’t investigate more why and how to fix it. I already installed Friendica with the classic installation and it works well. But with Yunohost It simply does not work. I create 2 account and impossible to add an account from the same instance.

If you installed Friendica with Yunohost do you have the same problem?

This blog needs to be moved. He is presently hosted in an american webhost Dreamhost. This host is nice. You can have lot of web space. But sometimes workpress needs more power or the delay between Europe and USA suck.

So I decided to move it to OVH.

The limit of my OVHh host is the database. I only have one database and it is limited to 200Mega. I can put many domains so if you use many wordpress on one database prefix is needed. As I installed wordress with default prefix how to process.

Before doing the move work. I should know how to do it.

SELECT *  FROM `kris_options` WHERE `option_name` LIKE '%user_roles%'
and change the prefix like new_user_roles

How to integrate Recaptcha in Prestashop in 3 steps

How to integrate Recaptcha in Prestashop in 3 steps

Prestashop is one of the most used ecommerce on the internet BUT the contact form has no protection again the spam. Of course you can buy an additional plugin but I will explain how to integrate a spam protection without paying. You have to create and configure an account, change 2 sources. You can make it in 30 mn or less.

Here is a howto step by step for prestashop 1.6 (I don’t know about prestashop 1.7 but I imagine it should be similar).

1 Setup your Google reCAPTCHA if you don’t have it

https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html

Note the key and the secret key

You have to configure it and put your domain name.

2  Change the contact-form.tpl

First you have to change the contact form (client side) contact-form.tpl should be in your theme. Open an editor and search the submit botton

For me it is like that

 <div class="submit">
 <button type="submit" name="submitMessage" id="submitMessage" class="button"><span>{l s='Send'}<i class="icon-chevron-right right"></i></span></button>
 </div>
 </form>

 

Just above add few lines of code. Replace key by your key

 <script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="key"></div>

 

That should look like that

<div>
 <script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>
 <div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="key"></div>
</div>

 <div class="submit">
 <button type="submit" name="submitMessage" id="submitMessage" class="button"><span>
{l s='Send'}
<i class="icon-chevron-right right"></i></span>
</button>
 </div>
 </form>

3 Change ContactControler.php

If you don’t have this source in override\controllers\front copy it from controllers\front

Then you have to add few lines to check if the captcha is ok or not

search the postProcess() function it should be at the begining (2nd function) and add

  if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage')) {
 $extension = array('.txt', '.rtf', '.doc', '.docx', '.pdf', '.zip', '.png', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.jpg');
 $file_attachment = Tools::fileAttachment('fileUpload');
 $message = Tools::getValue('message'); // Html entities is not usefull, iscleanHtml check there is no bad html tags.
 $id_order = (int)$this->getOrder();
 if (!($from = trim(Tools::getValue('from'))) || !Validate::isEmail($from)) {
 $this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Invalid email address.');
// add the 2 lines from here
 } elseif (!($gcaptcha = (int)(Tools::getValue('g-recaptcha-response')))) {
 $this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Captcha error');
// to here
