From chris.baker2005 at gmail.com Mon May 5 02:15:58 2008 From: chris.baker2005 at gmail.com (Chris Baker) Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 10:15:58 +0100 Subject: [WF-Infra] Website news script Message-ID: Hi all, I've been tinkering with the design of the site (aided a great deal by kosh) and I think I've improved the visuals quite considerably. I'm in the process of polishing out all the little bugs now. Thanks are due to Al for his earlier work too. What I'm interested in now, however, is the script that the website employs to pull news off of the Developers' Journal. I can't code Python, so I was hoping someone that could - and preferably already knew the details of the script - could help me here. I want the script to be modified so that it pulled more than just the title, perhaps the first paragraph or a set number of characters or something. Either way, something more than just titles - this would make it easier for visitors to see when the dev blog has been updated. If you know anything about this, drop me a line.

I've put up my tweaked version of it on amber, over at http://amber.worldforge.org/media/mediaIndexer/mediaIndexer.php However, there are two things I need help with: 1) I don't have time to work on this. I've changed some base stuff like the logo and background colour, but someone with better design skills should perhaps take a closer look at it, to make it better fit with the rest of the sites (Chris perhaps?). Also, the default file info functionality prints some basic file system info, as seen here: http://amber.worldforge.org/media/mediaIndexer/mediaIndexer.php?file=/README.txt . The original version printed even more internal file system info (owner, group rights etc) which I've removed. But since we keep everything in svn we would much rather have it print out info from the svn. I.e. the original svn author, the last svn change date, the last log message, an ability to view the full log and so on. In short: alter it to get as much info from svn as possible. This will require some php scripting. 2) I can't host it on amber. Amber simply can't handle the strain of the app while at the same time providing a working cyphesis server and a place for the Ember media. I don't know if it perhaps can be hosted on purple? Or if someone else has hosting resources. (Also, the main strain seems to come from accessing the top root level; perhaps one could look at what it does that takes so much time. I'm guessing it rescans the whole tree or something.) So in short: it needs a new maintainer and a new host. /sincerely Erik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But if nobody else volunteers I'll give it a try. If you can poke the layout, I'll poke the php code. Basically I'll try to make it look up the files from the sqlite db and update that from another script. I'll try to get a preliminary version up on a server tomorrow, to reduce the strain on erik's box.

I've put the code up on git://git.worldforge.org/wfmi.git (see also http://git.worldforge.org/?p=wfmi.git;a=summary) It's not ready to use yet, but I'm slowly getting there. I don't have a test server up yet either, looking into that as well.

I'll have to fix this, I'll drop you a line when the public repo is fixed and back.
