[OpenGuides-Dev] Muddled syntax
by Earle Martin 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

I just overheard this on IRC: 23:31 < osfameron> gah, I forget the @REDIRECT syntax... 23:32 < osfameron> Aha #REDIRECT (not to be confused with @INDEX_LINK) 23:33 <@Dom> yeah, that is confusing. Maybe we should phase in #INDEX_LINK (or @REDIRECT) in parallel before dropping one of the variant forms. What do people think? -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.oclc.org/net/earlemartin/

The look is not the important thing about OpenGuides; the functionality is important. Have you duplicated all our features in PHP, or just some of them? Could I have a look at what you have so far?

[OpenGuides-Dev] Autocreation

On Wed 02 Jun 2004, Dominic Hargreaves <dom(a)earth.li> wrote: > I've changed autocreation from something that happens at visit time to > something that happens at referring node creation time. It's not working quite right - for example I added a node on London to the "Clubs and Societies" category and despite the prior existence of "Category Clubs And Societies" it went ahead and auto-created "Category Clubs and Societies". It needs to ucfirst the category name before it checks for existence. (Case-insensitivity works fine for all other aspects of categories and locales as far as I know.) Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] OpenGuides dev server
by Kate L Pugh 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

For those that don't know: un, the machine that hosts OpenGuides CVS and that Earle, Ivor and I (and possibly Dom) develop on, lives in my house. We just had a powercut, and it looks like it killed un's power supply. doop will be getting a new one ASAP (ie today, once it stops being the middle of the night) but in the meantime I'm afraid you won't be able to access the machine. I will keep you updated. Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] New code going stable - final reminder
by Kate L Pugh 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

The 0.33 changes are going live this week. I originally said it would be happening today (Thursday) but after we rolled it out on London, Bob found a bug with the distance search results. I have fixed this in 0.33_07 and so the date for it all going stable is now this Sunday. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE to tell me that something in the new code doesn't gel with your install. Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] New installation - some notes.
by hakim＠cassimally.net 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Yesterday, I managed to install OpenGuides to my perlmonk.org account with some encouragement from Kake and co at #openguides. (My first time on IRC...) A couple of points: * If not installing as root, look at perldoc CPAN, FAQ section 5 for the various o conf settings. ** >Before< running perl -MCPAN -e shell, create the ~/perl/lib directory and add it to PERL5LIB ('export PERL5LIB=/home/osfameron/perl/lib') * CPAN didn't follow install link to Geography::NationalGrid, though it is in the YAML file. May just be me, all the other modules installed fine though. * I found it annoying that OpenGuides asks for all the config information before completing the install including prerequisites. Because I kept on fscking things up, I re-entered this information a dozen times. (It doesn't save the config file until successul installation). * For unix-illiterates like me, it'd be nice to know what permissions need to be set on the files created so that the webserver can read them. I just used chmod 0777 on everything to get it to work, but I'm guessing that I could probably be a bit tighter... * When I first installed at home, I installed CGI::Wiki, so my database got set up during make test (and handily populated with some London pages!) It was already installed on perlmonk.org so I never got that. Kake pointed me at cgi-wiki-setupdb, which /is/ mentioned in OpenGuides's INSTALL file. Would be nice if the Build procedure also finished with a note "please run cgi-wiki-setupdb". (Or prompts whether you want to autorun it? After all, it knows all the details of the db you are using). ** How about an openguides-setupdb script that adds canned "Text formatting rules" etc. entries? (Of course you can't impose a "site policy" document, but the template could include links to discussion on what to include in such a policy). * Because I installed files in a personal ~/perl/lib, the .cgi couldn't find them. I got around this by editing wiki.cgi with the appropriate use lib invocation. ** (Of course, I forgot to edit the other .cgi scripts in the directory, but there you go). Is there a better way to handle this? Oh, the empty shell is at http://osfameron.perlmonk.org/cgi-bin/openguides/wiki.cgi (though the add/edit etc. scripts aren't working as above) and may well become less empty over the next months. I'm really looking forward to playing with OpenGuides! I'll let you know if anything useful comes out of this installation. Cheers, osfameron

I'm not sure that "hidden" is a good name for the class. It's sort of a bit general. 16:17 grault(earle(a)mythix.re)-> Hmm. I was thinking that the class could be applied to other hidden content, but I'm not sure what that could be. 16:17 [msg grault] Yes, but if there was other hidden content you might want to hide some types but not others. 16:19 grault(earle(a)mythix.re)-> Hmm. Maybe something like .non_visual, or .accessibility 16:19 [msg grault] Post to the list, maybe. 16:19 grault(earle(a)mythix.re)-> Yeah. Opinions? Kake

[OpenGuides-Dev] Moving code from wiki.cgi to OpenGuides.pm
by Kate L Pugh 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

I'm working on moving code from wiki.cgi into OpenGuides.pm. The main reason for this is to ease testing; it's something I've been wanting to do for a while. It does however mean that I'm going to make a developers release that you will all need to test out on your sites ASAP because it's quite a big change. I will wait a week between making the developers release available (which will be tonight, with any luck) and releasing it as a stable version. Any objections? Kake
