23:00 <Kake> OpenGuides location stuff now works worldwide.
23:00 <Kake> http://the.earth.li/~kake/cgi-bin/openguides/vegan-oxford.cgi is
running entirely on UTM. CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Locator::UK isn't even
installed on the machine any more.
23:00 <Kake> ...and you've all gone to bed so I have to be excited on my own.
Backwards compatibility is safe. The kakemirror on london.openguides.org
is running on exactly the same code and on the live London data.
By the way, what happened to the Northern Ireland OpenGuide?

Wahoo! That's fantastic news.

Details? Is there a conversion process for OS coords -> UTM?
Might be worth putting an example in the template, to ensure people know
whether to use digital or degrees, minutes, seconds.

In the config file of the kakemirror I chose to use British National
Grid for distance calculations, so the guide knows to look in the os_x
and os_y metadata fields.
In the Vegan Guide to Oxford I chose to use the Airy ellipsoid, so the
guide looks in easting and northing metadata fields. These weren't
there already so I had to rewrite all the nodes with geodata - just a
case of pulling up the edit form and making a commit, since UTM guides
use lat and long for input and all guides store this info anyway.

Good idea. Dom, take note and make someone do this :)

Well done!! It definitely needed doing.
I got as far as CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Locator::UTM but then ran into trouble integrating
this
with the OpenGuides install process. I also managed to get my changes out of sync
with the CVS repository and gave up for a while, and have not recovered the circular
tuits since.

Can you give an example node that has a location? I had a scout round, but couldn't
find anything with coordinates.

Find by distance is broken. I'm getting:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete
your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster(a)openguides.org and inform them of the
time the error occurred, and anything you

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
----------------------------------
I too am one who would like to offer my full support and encouragement.
Anyway, well done - it's worth saying again: well done Kake!

Al-Sham.
[kakemirror]
Find by distance is broken.
It was working when I sent the mail, but I'm sure you knew that. (And
it's working right now.) It got broken by a write of a node with no
location data, bug only shows up on postgres though. Working out how
to write a test now.

Fixed in CVS and on sites.

Oh, and a by the way - I didn't need that module. I wrote a general
module to handle distances on square grids -
CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Locator::Grid - that can cope with British National
Grid, Irish National Grid, UTM ellipsoids, Elbonian National Grid, any
other square grid with coordinates specified as integers. So the UK
plugin is now deprecated and I'll be making a release of it within the
week to make that clear. Do you know if anyone is using your plugin?
It shouldn't be hard to reimplement it in terms of the Grid plugin
if you want to do that.

I don't think so - it's only really useful for the very specific
database structure of a CGI::Wiki wiki. If you generalised it any
more, code that used it would have to do all the SQL bits themselves,
and those are the useful bits.

Woohoo! Excellent stuff. :)
By the way, what happened to the Northern Ireland
OpenGuide?
I tried to keep up with the latest version, but installing modules
locally on my shared host wasn't working out. This gives me the
impetus to fix it though. :)
