Could maps be centred and scaled
by Andrew Black - lists 27 Aug '08

27 Aug '08

I have a suggestion concerning maps (eg map of all points in a category). I would like to get the maps to be centred and scaled. For example, in the following, all the points are off the displayed map. http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?action=index;format=map;index_type… The following is a quick demo to play with http://www2.black1.org.uk/~andrew/map/exp_bounds.html Click on a few points, hit "Reposition map" then repeat. In practice - you might want to make it configurable for the user - apply a minimum zoom (eg my demo produces a very large scale map if you give a single point) What do people think. Andrew

5th anniversary meet, Sat 21 June, Oxford
by Kake L Pugh 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

A decision has been made! The 5th anniversary meet will be in Oxford on Saturday 21 June, starting at lunchtime and continuing into the evening until people need to head home. Dom and Socks are working on figuring out a suitable venue. Please put this date in your diaries now! You can also start inviting other people along - I think Ivor had some thoughts on this. I'll be publicising it on the RGL livejournal community. Kake

"Too many open files" error with Plucene
by Kake L Pugh 26 May '08

26 May '08

RGL just hit a problem along these lines: [Tue May 20 12:17:05 2008] [error] [client 213.165.225.132] Plucene::Store::InputStream cannot open /export/home/bob/web/vhosts/london.randomness.org.uk/indexes//_7320.fdx for reading: Too many open files at /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl/Plucene/Store/InputStream.pm line 35. A bit of Googling found this: http://web.archive.org/web/20060517002546/http://plucene.minty.org/cgi-bin/… which suggested that the problem stems from temp files not being cleaned up. Bob suspects that this might have been caused by reindexing attempts which didn't complete (due to being manually interrupted for some reason). Noting also that File::Temp respects the TMPDIR environment variable, he tried another reindex using a specific tmp directory, and this worked. He's also done something which might make the CGIs use this tmp directory as well but he's not sure it worked. Bob will follow up to this mail to correct things I got wrong and add stuff I left out. This should probably go in TROUBLESHOOTING. Kake

Anniversary meet shortlist - vote now!
by Kake L Pugh 10 May '08

10 May '08

Hello. I've narrowed down the possibilities for the fifth anniversary meet. It will be in Oxford on a Saturday, starting lunchtime-ish or early-afternoon-ish (depending on whether one of the Oxford people can commit to being the person who will definitely be there at the beginning - I'll be travelling from London so don't want to promise to be there at a specific time unless that time is like 3pm or so) and ending evening-ish, on one of the following dates: Saturday 21 June Saturday 28 June Saturday 5 July Please let me know preferences offlist, and I'll announce the chosen date next week. I'll leave it to the Oxford people to choose the venue. I'll be arriving by either coach or train, whichever works out best for the venue. Kake

Separating module install from guide install
by Kake L Pugh 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hello. As it has now become my itch, I've started working on separating out installation of the OpenGuides modules from setup of an Open Guide. I'm basing it on the way that CGI::Wiki::Kwiki works[0]. If you have a better way to do it, and either: a) your way is less hassle (for me) than my way, or b) you are willing to do the work your way, and plan to do so within the next few months, then please let me know. Otherwise I'll carry on with this. For the time being, I won't be committing this to OpenGuides svn trunk. I can commit it in a branch if someone would like to send me absolutely idiot-proof instructions for doing so. Kake [0] CGI::Wiki::Kwiki can be found on search.cpan.org - it's almost certainly quicker for you to go and have a look at it yourself than for me to try to summarise how it works.
