[OpenGuides-London] London front page speedup
by Kate L Pugh 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

People may have noticed that the front page of london.openguides.org has been terribly slow for a while. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to have a think and sort this out. I have implemented a fix that will be in OpenGuides 0.31, and it's speeded up loads. Earle: if you upgrade to 0.30 then this fix will need reapplying. Patch is attached. Essentially the problem is that the metadata_wasnt option of ->list_recent_changes is terribly inefficient - I implemented it in a hurry and haven't revisited it since. I've swapped over to filtering on metadata_was, which is much faster. Kake

[OpenGuides-London] OG London supersearch.cgi not working
by Ivor Williams 28 Dec '03

28 Dec '03

I notice that the supersearch script is erroring with a 500 or similar on the London site. http://london.openguides.org/supersearch.cgi Could someone who has access, please take a peek at the server logs and find out what is happening. If it's a perl scripting problem let me know, as it's my code :). However, I doubt that this is the case, as the same script and version of the OpenGuides site is running elsewhere with no problems. Ivor.

Hi, I made a few entries on the London openguide tonight, and in each instance received an error similar to this when commiting the edit: Search::InvertedIndex::add_index() - Unable to read 'ie_000000000be6' record. Database may be corrupt. at /home/earle/openguides.org/lib/CGI/Wiki/Search/SII. pm line 204 Despite this, the entries were apparently entered into the Wikki. Regards, Matt

[OpenGuides-London] Mangled metadata
by Kate L Pugh 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Many of the pages on the Open Guide to London have acquired bizarre characters in locales and categories. These characters are concatenating the locales and categories into something bizarre. See for example http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?Marylebone_Station oglondontest=> select metadata_value from metadata where node='Marylebone Station' and metadata_type='category' and version=8; metadata_value ---------------- Rail Tube (1 row) I suspect this might have something to do with the wiki hoover - certainly the "last five nodes" edited by it all exhibit the problem. http://london.openguides.org/index.cgi?username=Wiki%20Hoover&action=userst… Ivor, can you investigate please? Argh, I really don't have time to work up something to fix all the mangled data right now. I'm going to have lunch and a think. Kake

[OpenGuides-London] Grubstreet tube arrows and other piccies
by Ivor Williams 13 Dec '03

13 Dec '03

I notice that there are still many pages with http://grault.net/grubstreet/pictures/left_arrow.gif etc. Is it worth doing a global replace? I could probably do that with a modified client side wiki hoover. I could replace all G/S images referenced on the site if you want. Please let me know. Ivor.

Unfortunately, the status quo just isn't good enough, for example because it means Wikitravel can't use material from us. http://www.wikitravel.org/article/Wikitravel:Cooperating_with_OpenGuides I am now looking to Attribution-ShareAlike license[0], much like Wikitravel. A side-effect of this is that we will not be able to include Wikipedia content[1], and so will need to replace/rewrite any that exists. If there are no objections by the end of the day, I am going to begin the one month "grace period" (allowing material to be withdrawn due to objection to the licence) by tomorrow. One month after that (let's say on New Year's Day, for neatness) I will apply the license to cover all material on the Open Guide to London. Implementation note: there are some places on the Guide where excerpted content occurs. Please, if you know of/discover any of these, ensure they comply with British law's[2] fair dealing statute[3][4] and mark them clearly.

[OpenGuides-London] Old list archives
by Earle Martin 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

I not that our archive of the former Grubstreet list[0] was generated by Mariachi[1]. Is the raw data and so on still around? I'd like to regenerate the archive with a modified template that links to an external stylesheet. At the moment all the styles are inline, which means that I can't edit them - something I'd really like to do, because I have to admit I really don't like the default Mariachi style. Oh, and before I do that, I'll replace every instance of [2] in the raw data with [0].
