[OpenGuides-Dev] A similar effort
by Earle Martin 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

I just discovered an interesting project called "Add Your Own": http://www.addyourown.com/ It's a wiki restaurant review system! They even have a rudimentary metadata system for locations and restaurant types. Is it worth us plugging the OG system to them? One interesting thing their site does that ours doesn't is a summary view: http://www.addyourown.com/neighborhood.php?nbh_id=13 I think this is a smart innovation. It would be nice to be able to do that for a given category - see a list of all the nodes, with selected metadata fields, in a tabular format. Maybe this is something I should have a go at, since it's long overdue that I contributed some more code. Ha! Someone's already mentioned us to them! Fantastic. http://www.quicktopic.com/23/H/3pd3JmL66G6/p6.1 -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d".

I did have a go at putting OG and CGI::Wiki::Kwiki up on my Win98 box, but gave up when finding it couldn't handle S::II

[OpenGuides-Dev] OpenGuides on Windows?

Issues of using a Windows XP box for web hosting aside, is running OG on Windows a realistic possibility? I know there are things like ActivePerl, but I'm not familiar with them at all. -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

[OpenGuides-Dev] BLOBs in SQLite and MySQL?
by Toby Corkindale 26 Jan '04

26 Jan '04

Hi there, I've written a file-attachment patch for OpenGuides and CGI::Wiki, which stores the files in BLOBs. I've written the relevant CGI::Wiki::Store::Pg module for Postgresql, but I don't know so much about SQLite or MySQL. Do they support BLOBs? Is it a similar enough interface to PostgreSQL that I should be doing this stuff at a generic (CGI::Wiki::Store) level instead? ta, Toby -- Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

[OpenGuides-Dev] [upload@pause.perl.org: CPAN Upload: K/KA/KAKE/OpenGuides-0.30.tar.gz]
by Kate L Pugh 22 Jan '04

----- Forwarded message from PAUSE <upload(a)pause.perl.org> ----- The URL http://the.earth.li/~kake/code/OpenGuides-0.30.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/K/KA/KAKE/OpenGuides-0.30.tar.gz size: 51750 bytes md5: 2b0f556c6faa961edbed61c6298051f9 ----- End forwarded message ----- There may well be another release or two before Monday, so don't feel you have to upgrade right away. >From Changes: Added method to allow admins to delete nodes. You will need to explicitly enable this option in your wiki.conf, since it brings with it the risk of accidental data loss. Major overhaul of templates - added numerous style hooks. See examples/ for two stylesheet designs that take advantage of these. Added new banner template for page headers. Also ensured presence of navigation bar is consistent. *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: *** The navbar class in the stylesheet has been renamed to, unsurprisingly, "navbar", for consistency (from "toolbar"). *** YOU WILL NEED TO REWRITE YOUR STYLESHEET. *** You are advised to create a duplicate wiki.cgi that reads its data from your database but its stylesheet and templates from the new ones in order to test them *before* deploying them. Added "FAQ", "How To Get Started" and "Wiki Etiquette" to the navigation, under "Help" - these won't exist unless you create them on your site, so at first the links serve as examples of documentation you can provide. Modified preferences.cgi so that all the help links in the navbar can be hidden, not just the text formatting link. Fixed some HTML validation bugs. Added multiple install and pretty URL notes to INSTALL. Removed pubcrawl stuff from distro for now - it doesn't really work. Changed to use CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff instead of OpenGuides::Diff. Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] London front page speedup
by Kate L Pugh 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

People may have noticed that the front page of london.openguides.org has been terribly slow for a while. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to have a think and sort this out. I have implemented a fix that will be in OpenGuides 0.31, and it's speeded up loads. Earle: if you upgrade to 0.30 then this fix will need reapplying. Patch is attached. Essentially the problem is that the metadata_wasnt option of ->list_recent_changes is terribly inefficient - I implemented it in a hurry and haven't revisited it since. I've swapped over to filtering on metadata_was, which is much faster. Kake
