Upcoming Minneapolis.pm Talk
by Chris Prather 14 Jul '07

14 Jul '07

Hi, So I have a talk this Thursday to the MPLS.pm group about OpenGuides. Since I haven't given a public talk in years, I was wondering if anyone would care to comment on my slides. http://chris.prather.org/og_slides/slides.html Also I feel I should publicly thank Kake and Ivorw for the material they had online that I shamelessly stole ... "researched" for these. Thanks -Chris

English smoking ban
by Dominic Hargreaves 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Don't forget to update your reviews to reflect the smoking ban now in force in England, and remove references to smoking/non-smoking areas in public places which are now affected by the smoking ban.

Recent Changes page
by Kake L Pugh 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

Hello. I was thinking that it might be a good idea if, where a guide hasn't been edited in the past month, the Recent Changes page shows all edits in the past 6 months instead. The reasoning behind this is that for a low-traffic guide, a month isn't actually all that long, and that a blank Recent Changes page looks broken. An alternative might be to show the last n edits instead of hardcoding to 6 months, but that's inconsistent with the normal Recent Changes output. In the long term, I'd like to make Recent Changes much more customisable, but in the short term this is a quick fix which would go a long way towards making the lower-traffic guides look better. Thoughts? Kake

OpenGuides Belgium
by Dimitri Pasquazzo 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

Hi ! First of all, Congratulation to all members of the openguides project. It is really a great project and I feel proud to run the Belgium one. As maintener of the Brussels platform, I am wondering to expand to others cities such as Liège, Brugges, ect.. As Belgium in size looks like New York... Does anyone feel unconfortable with this ? But I was wondering witch languages should I focus on. In Belgium, we have 2 languages but english should be the best compromise for touristics reasons. But I will agree to keep words in the two nationnal languages because even the city name are different (Liège - Lutich or Mons - Bergen). Does anyone feel unconfortable with this ? Cheers, Dimitri Pasquazzo http://www.justbiit.com/cgi-bin/openguides/ ps: should we agree on http://brussels.openguides.org ?

Preparing for a release
by Dominic Hargreaves 03 Jul '07

03 Jul '07

As promised, I plan to release OpenGuides, with all the many improvements made during and after the hackfest, shortly. Can those with open tickets assigned to them (you can see open defects at http://dev.openguides.org/report/13 - Kake, klur, andrewb, ilmari, ivorw, earle) drop me a line to let me know whether they have any code changes ready to go in in the next few days - this will allow me to time the release effectively. If you have no plans to work on the ticket in the foreseeable future, and don't already have work ready, please reassign the ticket to 'Nobody'. The release will in any case not happen until after this weekend. Cheers, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

Upgrading issue with changeset 1086
by Kake L Pugh 01 Jul '07

01 Jul '07

There's an issue with changeset 1086 that needs to be noted in UPGRADING, and pointed out here. This change alters the way that the common categories and locales in the navbar work. These templates - navbar_categories.tt and navbar_locales.tt - are ones which guide admins are almost certain to have modified, since the categories and locales in the distributed templates won't be relevant to most guides. First of all, your template needs to check for [% config.enable_common_categories %] rather than [% common_categories %] in order to know whether to add this <div> to the navbar or not. Secondly, you need to replace <a href="[% catloc_link %]Category_[% cat %]"> with <a href="[% config.script_url _ config.script_name %]?id=Category_[% cat %]"> So this is just a heads-up to people to be aware of the changes. I haven't added this to UPGRADING because I'm tired and in the middle of tracking down other upgrading issues. Could someone do that, please? Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] OG performance
by Paul Makepeace 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hi, I don't follow OG development but as host operator a few things are coming up. The machine's load is gradually climbing over time and some of that is OG. Despite a relatively low hit rate on OG it is consuming quite a bit of resource. If OG started taking off it would take the machine down. First up: index.cgi requires 0.35s to perform a `perl -c` syntax check. Any thoughts on putting OG on a mod_perl server? I have mod_perl running here of course and we'd need to coordinate some apache.conf stuff. Second: the supersearch.cgi gulps down CPU, often for seconds at a time. It is a frequent resident of `top` output. This isn't really acceptable. I'm going to request this feature be turned off unless an effective optimisation plan or some other way to reduce its impact here is constructed pretty soon. Sorry about this but it's encroaching on others. Third: I wonder if there's some way to instruct robots not to spider parts of your wiki. This ought to speak for itself: $ grep crawl /var/log/apache/london.openguides.org-access.log | grep 'action=edit' | wc -l 8242 $ Finally: I posted about a DoS and was wondering what the status of a solution was. http://openguides.org/mail/openguides-dev/2004-October/000542.html Cheers, Paul (any overbearing tone unintentional ;-) -- Paul Makepeace .............................. http://paulm.com/inchoate/ "If my elbow was straight, then I'll show oyu mine!" -- http://paulm.com/toys/surrealism/
