Re: [Ids-devel] Error in processing comments

[happyman <hap...@co...>]

Hi all,
=20
    About comments, I think that's due to some perl regular expressions. =
It occurs when guests'
input contains some special chars.. currently, I just edit =
logs/comments.txt  when it happens.
   BTW, when your comments exceeds 500,  what I suggest is
1). add a cache feature to commentviewer.cgi, OR
2). create a page views in commentviewer.cgi
   I had implemented "page views" in http://photos.happyman.idv.tw/, =
also found=20
it's not hard to add "cache feature"  to  ids.
for example:
you can  add code to the beginning of commentviewer.cgi
=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
my $cache=3D"output.cache";
if ( -e $cache) {
my ($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev, $size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime) =
=3D stat($cache);
my $cachemtime=3D$mtime;
($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid,$rdev, =
$size,$atime,$mtime,$ctime)=3Dstat("$logDir/comments.txt");
if ($cachemtime > $mtime) {
  if ( open(CACHE,$cache) ) {
    while(<CACHE>) {
      print $_;
    }
#    print "Output from CACHE";
    close(CACHE);
    exit;
  }
}
}
......
renderPage($cache);
=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D
and modify renderPage() in idsShared.pm
=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-
sub renderPage {
       my ($cache)=3D@_;
.....
## happyman
        if ($cache) {
           if (open(CACHE,"> $cache")) {
             print CACHE $query->header(-type=3D>'text/html; =
charset=3Dbig5',
                             -expires=3D>'now', -cookie=3D>$cookie);
             print CACHE $pageContent;
             close(CACHE);
           }
        }
.....

However, the above code doesn't handle the "cgi get/post/cookies" output =
caching.

How about adding cache feature to ids?

Ok all, I have another error for you.

I noticed one user who posted a comment, and when you would go to the =
show=20
all comments link from the main IDS page it would show his name, =
address,=20
etc. but the comment field was blank.

I clicked on the picture and the full comment was shown there.  I then=20
checked out the comments.txt file for signs of problems and after much=20
trial and error came to find out that this problem is caused by having =
()=20
show in up a username.  The user in question entered his username as

max (krome)

once I removed the (  ) from around krome the comment appeared with no=20
problems.  Not a serious problem, but one I wanted to bring to your=20
attention.

As a side note, and I think I mentioned this in my previous e-mail, the =
one=20
big feature I see missing with IDS is the lack of ability to delete an=20
album through the Admin interface, as it stands now i have to go to a=20
shell, delete the album files, delete the previews, delete the =
album-data=20
stuff..  Just kind of a hassle.

Take care all, and keep up the good work.
