I'd done some patching to St. Paul and wanted to feed hte changes back. Tickets #154 and #155 in the Trac (http://dev.openguides.org) are both from work I'd done previously with St. Paul's guide.

#154 provides basic JSON support for nodes and indexes. The Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::JSON uses either JSON.pm or JSON::Syck to produce the output.

#155 provides a 404 script for when things go away. St. Paul had some problems with incosistant URLs in the past and I noticed that 404s were very large because of this, so I wrote a little CGI to try to help you can see it in action by going to http://saintpaul.openguides.org/Pino%27s_Pizza ... it will suggest the right URL for the guide, or possibly a Search. I've cleaned up the script so that it does everything in a generic fashion and should integreate cleaner with other people's templates etc. (Originally I was just dumping HTML but I went and made a template now.)

I hope people find these useful. :)

Thanks for these. I will try and make sure these get reviewed and into 0.58 (which I will try to get released before the Oxford weekend!)

I'll be in touch to people soon to arrange crash space; now would be a good time to mention on

http://dev.openguides.org/OxfordMeetup2006

if you are planning to come. You can now self-register[0] on the trac install!

Cheers,

Dominic.

Some comments:

• Mixed tabs and spaces

Sorry about that, I can only blame work. It's the preferred style. I'll try to remember to fix my tidy settings in the future.

• Docs on the new modules are not updated

D'oh, I can fix those.

• Doesn't generate correct URLs: generates things like boston.openguides.org/id=Home;version=5 instead of boston.openguides.org/?id=Home;version=5 (This was a relatively simple fix, but I can't recall what it was off the top of my head.)

If you remember what it was, I can easily patch it. Otherwise I'll take a look at it tonight. This was a quick hack to get things into SaintPaul that I suspect I wrote when it was using Alias /index.cgi /.
