OG SaintPaul overlay (as mentioned on IRC)
by Chris Prather 12 Nov '06

12 Nov '06

Hex mentioned that he'd be interested in the patches I made to Saint Paul's guide. Many of them are patches I applied to the CPAN version from Chris Schmidt's Boston Guide. I've included the raw overlay directory here, if people are really interested I can produced a unified diff (it's not as easy with the way things are laid out on the server.) -Chris

Ping Pingerati or GeoURL
by Nick Burch 11 Nov '06

11 Nov '06

Hi All Using the new Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping, I've added a new config option to openguides. If you set the option "ping_services" to be one (or both) of "pingerati" or "geourl", then it'll configure and register the ping plugin for these ping services. When you write a node, the configured services will then be ping'd to let them know of the update. If you don't have a "ping_services" option, or if it's blank, there will be no change for the current behaviour of openguides. Currently, only pingerati and geourl are supported. I can't think of a good way to specify the urls in the config file, so openguides will accept any service defined in known_services of Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping . So, if you can think of more things you might like to ping, we'll add them in there, and then you can use them. If you want to play, you'll need Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Ping from the Wiki::Toolkit svn, and the latest OpenGuides from svn. Nick

FW: [ANNOUNCE] London Perl Workshop 2006

[forwarded from London.pm mailing list] Dom, I guess it's too late in the day to change our plans, but I'm forwarding this as a courtesy. Ivor. -----Original Message----- From: Greg McCarroll [mailto:greg@mccarroll.org.uk] Sent: 09 November 2006 10:38 To: Williams Ivor Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCE] London Perl Workshop 2006 On 9 Nov 2006, at 10:24, IvorW wrote: > Damn!

Date confirmed for Oxford meetup
by Dominic Hargreaves 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

As per http://dev.openguides.org/wiki/OxfordMeetup2006 I've set the date as 8th-10th December. Likely schedule: * Pubmeet/dinner on Friday evening to socialise and discuss some general issues * All-day hackfest and further detailed discussion on Saturday Thanks to all those who responded with dates; it would be useful if you (and, of course, anyone else who can make it) could add their name to that list[0]. More details will be provided nearer the time of course; meanwhile, if anyone has any ideas for a good format, do say! Cheers, Dominic. [0] You'll need to register for an account on the wiki to do this; details are at http://dev.openguides.org/wiki/AboutThisTracInstall -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

Ratings

Got another question: Is there a way to implement ratings on the site, e.g. that a user can click on a 1-5 star rating for a place? Cheers, Markus

Google Maps question
by Markus Linke 03 Nov '06

03 Nov '06

Hi, I am trying to set-up an OpenGuide for New York. The installation worked well, but I was expecting to see a google map for my first (test) page: http://newyork.linke.de/myguide/wiki.cgi?Angelo's_Pizza But it does not look right. Am I missing a step? Many thanks, Markus PS: I have a google maps api key and it is configured in my wiki.conf
