Whereabouts of Boston?
by Dominic Hargreaves 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi, It appears that http://boston.openguides.org/ is down ("Virtually Hosted Sites Here: If you are looking for a site, please try entering its Fully Qualified Domain Name."). Does anyone know whether it's likely to come back? Cheers, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

Approximate geocoding
by Andrew Black 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Not directly OG but maybe someone could point in the right direction. I want to be convert the first part of a UK post code eg SE22 to a Long/Lat of a point within the area. I don't mind too much exactly which point. I have had a look at geocoding and have got myself very confused (fairly easy to do). I think the issue is partly copyright, and partly the fact that geocoding is country specicic. What I think I want is a table of top level post codes to places. Once I have that I can do the conversion. Any suggestions

RegioWikiCamp 2009
by Dominic Hargreaves 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

The organisers of this have asked me to pass on to people interested in OpenGuides that we are welcome to come to this event. They don't currently have anyone from OpenGuides or the UK. The event is on September 25th to 27th (so quite soon) in Furtwangen, Germany. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it, but feel free to go along instead. More information is available from their web site at: http://rwc09.regiowiki.eu/ -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

test best practices
by Bob Walker 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

The last few days I've been hacking together some more tests and indeed have now read our entire suite of tests. While I was doing this I noticed that we seem to have several ways of doing things so it might be worth deciding on the best. Firstly the clean up of node.db between tests. We currently have 3 if not 4 ways of doing this. foreach my $del_node ( $wiki->list_all_nodes ) { print "# Deleting node $del_node\n"; $wiki->delete_node( $del_node ) or die "Can't delete $del_node"; } which doesnt clear indexes. Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::SQLite::cleardb( { dbname => "t/node.db" } ); which also doesnt clean indexes unlink "t/node.db"; unlink <t/indexes/*>; Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::SQLite::setup( { dbname => "t/node.db" } ); which is the most useful. then in one test that becomes a sub sub refresh_db { unlink "t/node.db"; unlink <t/indexes/*>; Wiki::Toolkit::Setup::SQLite::setup( { dbname => "t/node.db" } ); } and then used several times. Repeatitive code pains me. Therefore I feel we should make refresh_db a sub in OpenGuides::Test and then use that. I have a patch for that and will also probably go through and clean up all the tests. Secondly, We have 3 ways to do node generation. All of which are fine but we should probably pick one and run with it. This would take more time to change in the test suite. Also there maybe reasons in a test why one way is used above another. The first way is OpenGuides::Test->write_data( node => "Wombats", guide => $guide, username => "bob", edit_type => "Minor tidying", return_output => 1, ); which IHMO should be the prefered method. the second method seem to be along ther lines of my $q = CGI->new; $q->param( -name => "content", -value => "foo" ); $q->param( -name => "categories", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "locales", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "phone", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "fax", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "website", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "hours_text", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "address", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "postcode", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "map_link", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "os_x", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "os_y", -value => "" ); $q->param( -name => "username", -value => "bob" ); $q->param( -name => "comment", -value => "foo" ); $q->param( -name => "edit_type", -value => "Minor tidying" ); $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} = "127.0.0.1"; my $output = $guide->commit_node( return_output => 1, id => "Wombats", cgi_obj => $q, ); the third method is $wiki->write_node( "British Museum", "Huge museum, lots of artifacts.", undef, { category => ["Museums", "Major Attractions"] , locale => ["Holborn", "Bloomsbury"] } ); Another thing we need to look at is config generation. we should probably just be using my $config = OpenGuides::Test->make_basic_config; then changing anything we want with lines like. $config->script_name( "wiki.cgi" ); $config->script_url( "http://example.com/" ); instead of my $config = OpenGuides::Config->new( vars => { dbtype => "sqlite", dbname => "t/node.db", indexing_directory => "t/indexes", script_name => "wiki.cgi", script_url => "http://example.com/", site_name => "Test Site", template_path => "./templates", home_name => "Home", use_plucene => 1 } ); its possibly worth extending the basic config in Openguides::Test. Finally a couple of the test files have useful subroutines in them whch should probably be put into Openguides::Test. So thoughts, questions or indeed comments? -- bob walker buses should be purple and bendy

No I think we'll have to look a bit closer than that. I'll try and get a chance to look at it. Looks pretty simple and will be easy with a browser to test against.
