Another Big Set of Changes to PyDS

Thu, 05 Aug 2004 21:45:36 GMT

Georg has committed another big patch of mine. If you run into any problems, yell at me. :)

About *$$%& Time!

Fri, 16 Jul 2004 13:49:52 GMT

Okay, got this PyDS instance back up and running, with all my latest patches in CVS thanks to Georg.

Diffed!

Tue, 01 Jun 2004 10:46:24 GMT

With respect to P120, it looks like Georg has incorporated my changes into CVS. If you do an update, you won't need no steenking diff.

No auto-create links from Weblog

Mon, 31 May 2004 14:09:04 GMT

Done: This link doesn't resolve to anything, but shouldn't resolve internally to an edit page and shouldn't be green externally on that 404 link.

New To Dos:

Mon, 31 May 2004 14:06:56 GMT

P124: Where'd my ambiguous links resolve to?
P123: What's this item's internal link?
P122: Show only category items
P121: Show first, not edit
P125: This text points to nothing at all

Where'd my ambiguous links resolve to?

Mon, 31 May 2004 14:04:48 GMT

To do: Provide a way for people to check, edit, or remove the automatically resolved links from an item. Maybe I should just append it to the text they're editing, or provide it for a separate edit field. Anyone?

What's this item's internal link?

Mon, 31 May 2004 14:02:40 GMT

To Do: Make it easy to figure out any item's internal pyds:/ link. Otherwise it's pretty hard to explicitly link to it, eh?

Show only category items

Mon, 31 May 2004 14:00:32 GMT

To Do: Add a WeblogTool view showing only items from a particular category. It'd be handy to find my ToDo pages, that's for sure.

Show first, not edit

Mon, 31 May 2004 13:58:24 GMT

To Do: At the moment, I home in on an edit page of a weblog post from internal links. I should really home in on the view page.

Diff!

DirectPydsUriTest

Sun, 30 May 2004 11:24:48 GMT

As DirectPydsUriTest points out, I should capture outbound pyds:/ links and redirect them appropriately. [Fixed.]

Backslashes in Wiki node titles

Sun, 30 May 2004 04:33:04 GMT

When I first made EmptyParentNodeTest, I accidentally used backslashes to separate the ID. That caused problems because the code I was using to separate the names worked (_fullSplit), but the subsequent name lookups I was performing after recomposing with '/' didn't. I need to automatically translate them, or at least issue an appropriate warning. [Fixed.]

Empty Title Test

Sun, 30 May 2004 03:26:56 GMT

I should automatically fill in the titles of new Wiki nodes. I've added EmptyTitleTest to track it. [Done.]

New bug!

Sun, 30 May 2004 03:22:40 GMT

I was trying to post a new Wiki node (EmptyParentNodeTest), and...

Exception exceptions.NameError: 
global name 'getPost' is not defined

PyDS\Tool.py 967 process_request 
u = getattr(tool,meth)(req) 

PyDS\WikiTool.py 569 edit_redir 
id = self.addNode(id, title, text, template=int(template)) 

PyDS\WikiTool.py 699 addNode 
meshTool.renderItemsWithUnresolvedLinks() 

PyDS\MeshTool.py 986 renderItemsWithUnresolvedLinks 
return [handles, self.renderItems(handles)] 

PyDS\MeshTool.py 1015 renderItems 
method(item.uniqueId) 

PyDS\WeblogTool.py 325 renderItemByUniqueId 
post = getPost(uniqueId)

Fix:

# Render an item by its unique ID
def renderItemByUniqueId(self, uniqueId):
        """Render all pages associated with the post identified by `uniqueId`."""
        post  = self.getPost(uniqueId)
        # ... and so on

I've got no idea why renderItemsWithUnresolvedLinks was triggering weblog renders. I should also look into that.

Psyco vs PyDS

Fri, 28 May 2004 14:00:32 GMT

Anyone tried using Psyco with PyDS? I'm thinking it might be especially handy for rendering reStructuredText...

[later] I've tried it out, and it speeds up reST on the example in StructuredText.py by a good 40%. Just for fun, I've changed pyds-start to load Psyco. I'm posting from it now. :)
