OpenGuides 0.67 released.
by Bob Walker 14 Feb '13

14 Feb '13

I uploaded the latest release of OpenGuides to CPAN this morning. https://metacpan.org/release/BOB/OpenGuides-0.67/ There have been lots of changes this release the most important of which are: Leaflet support for maps removes the need to rely on Google Maps. On map index pages you can now find Categories within Locales. JSON output has been added or improved on several types of pages. A long standing bug in recent changes has been fixed. There have also been numerous bug fixes. See https://metacpan.org/source/BOB/OpenGuides-0.67/Changes and http://dev.openguides.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2Frel0_66&old=1395&new… for more info. As you can see the tests have also been renumbered. This was done by adding a 0 inbetween the 2 existing digits. We now require Wiki::Toolkit 0.80 and introduced a new dependency on Template::Plugin::JSON::Escape. -- bob walker everything should be purple and bendy http://randomness.org.uk

OpenGuides' 10th birthday
by Kake 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

The first public release of OpenGuides occurred on 29 April 2003: https://metacpan.org/source/KAKE/OpenGuides-0.04/Changes So I think this calls for a celebration on or around 29 April 2013! Given current patterns of activity, I suspect doing this in the UK is the most sensible option. (I can offer accommodation for non-UK people.) I'm on holiday in Moreton-in-Marsh between 24 April and 1 May, so if we're going to do this on the weekend before the anniversary (i.e. 27-28 April) then Oxford would be the most plausible venue. If we do it the weekend after (i.e. 4-5 May) then we could do it either in Oxford or in London. Thoughts? Kake

Moving to Github?
by Bob Walker 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

The world is moving forward and the choice for doing your version control is changing. Git is the future. Github is the convient place for open source projects to host their code. So I propose we think about moving to github. Ive already explored this as an idea and in fact have created and organization and imported the code repo. https://github.com/OpenGuides/OpenGuides The authors may need tidying up a bit. Looking at my authors file there were 2 who i dont know what to use as thier email address. nick = nick <nick(a)example.com> sheldon = sheldon <sheldon(a)example.com> It should prefably be the email address they use on github but it doestn matter to much. Importing the wiki and the issues looks to be trivial enough if we wanted to. So anyone have any thoughts, queries, suggestions or objections? If we go ahead with this I would reimport the repo to github one last time? -- bob walker everything should be purple and bendy http://randomness.org.uk

OpenGuides 0.70 released

OpenGuides 0.70 has been released to CPAN. https://metacpan.org/release/BOB/OpenGuides-0.70/ The biggest change is we now rely on Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::UseMod version 0.24 so that external links are now in a CSS class so you can format them how you want instead of being surounded by []. See the Changes file for a full list. https://metacpan.org/source/BOB/OpenGuides-0.70/Changes#L6 -- bob walker everything should be purple and bendy http://randomness.org.uk

OpenGuides 0.69 has be released to CPAN https://metacpan.org/release/BOB/OpenGuides-0.69 https://metacpan.org/source/BOB/OpenGuides-0.69/Changes#L6 This release fixes a JavaScript escaping issue for nodes with apostrophes in names and adds maps to the missing metadata search page. As a consequence of this any search results page should be able to have maps. -- bob walker everything should be purple and bendy http://randomness.org.uk

"Last verified" dates
by Kake 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Hello! On the train the other day I had some ideas about the way data input could work for a "last verified" field for OpenGuides. I drew a thing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7278918078/ This would result in three pieces of data, which will be stored if and only if the "re-confirm existence?" tickybox is ticked: - the date on which the existence of the business described was last checked (it should be possible to give either a specific day or just the month) - the method by which it was checked (free text, e.g. "phoned them up", but with a tickybox or two to make it easy to give standard reasons such as "went past and saw it open" - a tick in this box would be turned into text by the code before storing in the database) - the person who checked it (not explicitly entered on the form, but taken from the username of the person performing the edit - see above, this only happens if they explicitly choose to "re-confirm existence") Anyone got any thoughts on the above? Regarding the backend, here is some previous discussion on the point: http://lists.openguides.org/pipermail/openguides-dev/2007-June/001872.html Dom points out in that post that there are two ways of doing it: - as Wiki::Toolkit metadata - as a new field in the node/content tables Advantages of doing it as metadata: - No need to change Wiki::Toolkit databases in a way that is irrelevant to some wikis. - The "method of checking" data is really OpenGuides-specific, so should go in the metadata table, and then it would be nice to have the "date of checking" in there as well. Also, the "person who checked" data needs to go somewhere (this isn't always the same as the "person who last edited"). Then again, we already have a small inconsistency in that "date last edited" and "person who last edited" are in different tables. Advantages of doing it in the node/content tables: - We can store it as a proper date type, which saves some fiddling around in terms of actually using the data. Actually it strikes me that a third possibility would be to use plugins: https://metacpan.org/module/Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin though the Wiki::Toolkit plugin system never really got fully developed, and this might be an overcomplicated way of doing it for little benefit. Thoughts? Kake
