Hab zwar mal irgendwo gelesen, daß Referrer und mostread nicht so besonders genau sein sollen, frag aber lieber nach, falls es interessiert. Sollte nicht backlinks eines Artikels und mostread irgendwo korrelieren? Tut es irgendwie nich.

i checked the antville rss feeds against the rss validator at archive.org and fixed two bugs that violated the rdf specs (updates in cvs and at antville.org).

I created a new branch in the antville CVS that is called "need_for_speed" and contains optimizations that I didn't want to check into the main branch. They don't change the basic Antville architecture, but they do change how some things are done. The main motivation was to make antville run faster on my orange iBook and similar antique hardware. What I did is pretty simple:

• req.data.memberlevel is set in hopobject.onRequest(), so the membership level never ever has to be fetched within application code
• Where possible, things that were done by calling functions previosly are now done by directly accessing fields/properties, i.e. those functions which did nothing but convert/return a property have been mostly removed.
• Security functions which returned full localized error messages now only return the error message name. The full localized error message has to be retrieved by the caller if it is needed. (The latter isn't implemented yet ;-)

(Unfortunately, some changes sneaked in which don't really belong to the need_for_speed branch but have been lingering in my local repository: Creating stories offline is changed and polls don't require a title anymore and are rendered slightly different. Eventually we should/will discuss these separately.)

What I'd like you to do is to check if this branch really runs faster for you and if so, how much faster. You're also welcome to help finishing what I started and finding missing pieces.

a few performance fixes over the weekend. Since everything seems to work and I didn't hear any complaints most of it is now running on antville.org. Have a look at the CVS commits for details.

this.

to make a short story long: i think the behaviour of the username macro changed slightly not so long ago. in my local antville installation, usernames are links to the URL specified by the respective user, as usual. but not in the status box, where the username links to the edit-user-page. i accomplished this by putting a link like this

<a href="/members/edit/"><% username %></a>

into the statusloggedin skin. actually, i have no idea why this works, because here on antville.org, a link to the URL specified by the user (as usual) would be nested inside the link specified above and take precedence in the user agent.

so i don't know how to do this properly (i found another workaround, though) and i don't know if there's some parameter of the username macro i could use, and i would be very happy if that macro could be documented at macros.antville.org. i'd like to have a description of what it does, what parameters exist and to which object it belongs. the reason for that last request is that i found two disctinct username macros in the antville code (one global, one in usermgr, IIRC) and a third one called user.name. one of the earlier had a "linkto" parameter, but that produced no effect in my code.

oder gibts das schon und ich habs uebersehn?

"Last night a new feature in Radio, comments in RSS feeds. If you have comments turned on in your weblog, when Radio generates your RSS feed, it includes the new (in 2.0) comments element, that links to the comments for the item. It works both ways. When Radio reads an RSS feed that contains links to comments, it shows them on the News page, so if you read something there and want to comment (and the site supports them) you can just click on the Comments link and you're there. Jake added the feature last night. That's the reason we did all the fussing with the new 2.0 format, so we could bring new features to the users. [Scripting News]"

ich habe mir (da kein platz mehr fuer neue neue blogs auf antville.org) das antville-helma-paket runtergeladen und auf meiner linux-kiste installiert. bin wirklich begeistert wie gut das ding läuft.

wie auch immer, ich frage mich wie (und ob) ich die allererste startseite,also die seite noch vor einem spezifischen blog, verändern kann. würde da gerne so ein bisschen was persönliches dazureinschreiben.

hat jemand rat?
