Hi Does anyone have the pre-hack version of the wi-fi page (think that what is was then called). I have a memory of a useful map search called something like http://www.dowcra.co.uk but I can't track it down. Andrew

by Kai Michael Poppe 15 Dec '05

Good evening ladies :) After some time now, I try to bring myself back to your minds ... I was wondering whether (or what) to do to set up an OGL mirror for something unfortunately like in september not to happen again soon. I would appreciate any descriptions of possibilities of mirroring the guide. thx Kai M Poppe

A bit of quick reverse engineering gives http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi? username=xxx; action=rss items=10; ignore_minor_edits=1 any more ?

The XML looks fine to me, and I notice that the comma has veen correctly escaped in the URLs. Maybe Thunderbird doesn't like escaped commas. - <item rdf:about="http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Shish%2C_NW2_4NH;version=3"> <title>Shish, NW2 4NH</title> <link>http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Shish%2C_NW2_4NH;version=3</link> <description>[JohnGH]</description> <dc:date>2005-12-09T19:59:40+00:00</dc:date> <dc:contributor>JohnGH</dc:contributor> <modwiki:status>updated</modwiki:status> <modwiki:importance>major</modwiki:importance> <modwiki:diff /> <modwiki:version>3</modwiki:version> <modwiki:history /> <rdfs:seeAlso rdf:resource="http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?id=Shish%2C_NW2_4NH;format=rdf" /> </item> > What I am inclined to do is run a cron job that gets a > snapshot of the > RSS every hour - I suspect there is the odd item that is generating > "unusual" XML but once that one has wrapped of the bottom it starts > working again.

Yes, these are the two options at present. You can also get RSS feeds of the last x changes for a contributor, and all nodes in a category or locale.

RSS is a bit temperamental
by Andrew Black 13 Dec '05

The RSS facility on London openguides is great when it works but from time to time produces XML that Thunderbird doesnt like. I havnt managed to pin down what is upsetting it but there something wrong on Fri 9 /12 ( We got the "Sites about London" and "Little Venice" but nothing latter that day). What I am inclined to do is run a cron job that gets a snapshot of the RSS every hour - I suspect there is the odd item that is generating "unusual" XML but once that one has wrapped of the bottom it starts working again. BTW - does the RSS always give the the last 15 items. or the items in a particular time period. ANDREW

You're lucky that I looked at this mailbox today! I don't get to check list traffic all that often, reports like this are best cc'ed (or just mailed directly) to me. I'll have a look at this over the weekend when I have some time, or tomorrow if I get a chance. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

Hence: http://downlode.org/code/perl/openguides-hacking/fuzzy.cgi The code: http://downlode.org/code/perl/openguides-hacking/fuzzy.txt I'd like to get this integrated into the search cgi somehow. (Although searching for "cross keys" gets a spurious hit at the head of the list. Must be something to do with the database, I'll look into it.) -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/
