Some issues in V. 3.4 that have not been fixed since V. 3.2

[DZenker]

Dear OLab developers,

I installed OpenLabyrinth 3.4 from scratch and I've realized several bugs and issues during my testing that I already had reported about 2 yrs. ago for V 3.2 :

• addition of a new skin does not work per default, as it attempts to create a new directory and data files inside "/application/views/labyrinth/skin" which is usually not writeable by the httpd daemon (and this should remain so for security reasons). Thus, either a different path should be used in APPPATH/classes/model/leap/map/skin.php, or during installation it should be checked if DOCROOT.'/application/views/labyrinth/skin' is writable by the httpd daemon
• In the Skin editor, addition of a background image to a component is still not possible, the corresponding button does not work.

Additionally, the rule ditor is not working if the multibyte string ("mbstring") support is not is not installed/activated, e.g. via yum install php54-php-mbstring in CentOS.
