Re: [Hypercontent-users] News/RSS

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	I uploaded a zip of the JA-SIG home page to the HyperContent wiki 
space at

https://clearinghouse.ja-sig.org/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=12492

It is for HC2, and I can't remember whether it has been affected by any 
of the handful of bug fixes made sine RC1.  It uses a new feature of 
HC2 where you can load one output into another; it loads the RSS that 
is generated from the News section into the home page where it renders 
the most recent RSS to HTML.  The same logic is used to render the news 
archive RSS to HTML. I am going to try and cut the final release 
tomorrow, in time for the JA-SIG conference here.  We've been running 
for a month with no crashes, about 5 restarts for bug fixes, and in 
that month 30 users have logged in 842 times, registered 156,000 unique 
page views and published 26,494 pages.  We're about 1/3 migrated from 
v1.4 . . .

I'll post the LDAP login module source up to the wiki as well, in case 
you need to tinker with it.

Cheers,
	Alex
