[OpenGuides-Dev] Tell a friend
by Earle Martin 06 Jun '04

06 Jun '04

Just noticed this handy feature on addyourown.com: "tell a friend". http://www.addyourown.com/tell.php?nbh_id=186&venue_id=976&city_id=12&cat_i… Easy enough to hack up with MIME::Lite; should we do this too? -- Earle Martin hex on irc.perl.org http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

[OpenGuides-Dev] Planning OpenGuides Chicago, IL USA
by Anoop Atre 05 Jun '04

Hi I'm planning/working on setting up a Chicago-OG, this weekend I will try to start on getting the server side working and hopefully next month (at most) it will be time to coax my friends to start contributing. Any advice before I start a grand weekend drinking beer and cpanning OG? While going through the mailing list archive I noticed that there was mention of working on a "HowTo setup your very own OG for Timbuktu" but nothing has been done (?) I'd like to help with that, will jot down my thoughts and post to the list as I go along with the setup but don't hold your collective breaths : ) Cheers ~ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "Flags are bits of coloured cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead." ~Arundhati Roy = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I'm aware of the oddness with library search paths on the test wiki. However that's not where I'm running into the problem. Most of the diffs you try on http://www.ox.compsoc.net/oxfordguide/ seem to fail eg: <http://www.ox.compsoc.net/oxfordguide/?id=Sand_Box&version=6&diffversion=8> This is with OG 0.31 and C::W::P::D 0.06. I'll submit a bug once I've done a bit more digging. Cheers, Dominic.

[OpenGuides-Dev] Bad handling of 8-bit characters; state change on GET request
by Dominic Hargreaves 02 Jun '04

Hi, The Oxford guide is having problems with some clients mangling the é (in this particular case) in Category links: <http://www.ox.compsoc.net/oxfordguide/> This is a particular problem because of course a GET request on Categories will auto-create the category. The culprit appears, in the most recent case, to be this: msnbot64124.search.msn.com - - [24/May/2004:10:00:57 +0100] "GET /oxfordguide/?id=Category%20Caf%C3%83%C6%92%C3%86%E2%80%99f%C3%83%C6%92%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%C5%A1%C3%83%E2%80%9A%C3%82%C2%A9s;format=rdf HTTP/1.0" 200 1506 "-" "msnbot/0.11 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)" I haven't looked closely into which of the bot and us are at fault yet, but has anyone else seen this problem? This needs fixing in two ways: - the site should not create categories on the basis of a GET request (RFC 2616 sec 9.1.1), therefore categories need to be created at the time that they are entered into a node, rather than on first access. - it would be nice to locate the source of this charset confusion, but if the above is fixed this is a secondary consideration (it may turn out that the problem is entirely brokenness on the client side in which case it can be safely ignored) Cheers, Dominic.

I always had trouble getting my test wiki on un to respect PERL5LIB for some wierd reason. Anyway, you need CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff 0.06 and OpenGuides 0.31. Hopefully your diffing problem will go away.

Ho hum... The test guide is showing version 0.30. This uses OpenGuides::Diff which is obsoleted and replaced by CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff, which has the diffing problems sorted AFAIK. I think we may need to get un's admin to upgrade to the latest version of this module if you are not already on it. Any issues you find with C::W::P::D, please submit an RT ticket. Ta, Ivor.
