Michael, Only the past twenty are listed in the right column, but the others are still there. Old articles/news expire after three months, and are removed from our site. This was a decision I made to keep our database small. >Is LEAF keeping track of packages? > >Is there some search facility? This is a problem related to unincorporated content. The phpWebSite search only looks through our MySQL database. I believe the problem is addressed in the new search module in phpWebSite 0.8.1. You can search for packages using Google. e.g. zebra zebra site:leaf.sourceforge.net >What do you think? I am addressing this issue. I should have a package repository available in the next couple of weeks. Take a look at the test version [1] created by David Douthitt. [1] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/oxygen/repository/ The repository will be committed to cvs in bin/packages [2], and exported daily to pub/packages [3]. [2] http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/bin/ [3] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/packages/ Eventually, I'd like to see David's scripts converted into a phpWebSite module. This will allow for better searching, and automatic indexing. If you would like to create this new module, please look at the current scripts above. Then, take a look at the phpWebSite module documentation. http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=8200&group_id=33782 -- Mike Noyes <mh...@us...> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/content.php?menu=1000&page_id=4 |
