[netcomics-devel] Creators comics broken

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Hi guys!
  I don't have time to fix it right now, but I thought I'd let you know 
that the Creators comics (like B.C. and Wizard of Id) are broken -- the 
site changed its URL scheme, and the new one isn't obvious at first 
glance.  Check it out:

[netcomics-devel] Two Lumps has moved from Keenspace to Keenspot

[Eddy C. <eco...@gm...>]

Hi Netcomics developers,

The comic "Two Lumps: The Adventures of Ebenezer and Snooch" has moved
from Keenspace to Keenspot (I guess they were "spotted"). Attached are
patches for the modules  'lib/keenspace' and 'lib/keenspot'. The
changes have been running in my nightly cron for the last two weeks
without any problems.

Feel free to apply...

Regards,
Eddy Corbett.

[netcomics-devel] Patch for module 'lib/keenspace'

[Eddy C. <eco...@gm...>]

Hi Netcomics developers,

I have created a patch that modifies the module  'lib/keenspace' to
include the comic "Two Lumps: The Adventures of Ebenezer and Snooch"
[http://twolumps.keenspace.com/]. It has been running happily in my
nightly cron for a while now.

Feel free to apply...

Regards,
Eddy Corbett.

Re: [netcomics-devel] Line breaks for multiple images?

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Ok -- I'll just leave my Test theme as is, and use that when I want line 
breaks in the comics.  It probably isn't a big enough change to warrant 
checking into the CVS. Thanks!

RE: [netcomics-devel] Line breaks for multiple images?

[Hochstedler, B. \(GE Healthcare\) <ben...@me...>]

Clint,

No, it would be best to not merge it in.  There are
some comics out there where each panel is rendered as
its own image file, and for those, it's nice to have
the panels build up side-by-side.  I don't know which
comics did that (it's been a few years) or even if they
still do it today.

You could make it a configurable option, but the best
design would be for each specific comic to have an
attribute that specifies if multiple images should
be in separate rows when rendered on screen.  Feel
free to take that on, but without looking at the code
(again it's been a while), I'm guessing it's not
designed to facilitate meta-data like that to be
passed into the theme, let alone the HTML page
generator.

Re: [netcomics-devel] Line breaks for multiple images?

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Cool, I got it... amazing what a difference one 's' can make.  Do you 
think I should merge the test theme with Default?  All I really changed 
(besides the name) was to add one <BR /> to the Body Element 
definition.  You can see exactly what I modified below.

Apparently, the only effect the extra <BR /> has is to make it so that 
successive images are displayed vertically, rather than horizontally.  
It doesn't show up when you only have one image per day.

Let me know!

RE: [netcomics-devel] Line breaks for multiple images?

[Hochstedler, B. \(GE Healthcare\) <ben...@me...>]

Clint,

You may need to add it to Makefile.PL & MANIFEST.
I'm sure you probably added the file into the same
directory in which the other themes are actually
installed on your system.  You could check to make
sure that you don't have multiple directories on
your system that contain themes and make sure you
selected the right one.

You could also try updating the html_themes_dir
var in your netcomicsrc and put your custom theme
in its own dir.

Re: [netcomics-devel] Line breaks for multiple images?

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Ok, I think I found what I need to change -- the theme.  However, I've 
run into another difficulty.  I'm trying to make a copy of the Default 
theme called Test.pm with my changes in it.  I've changed the module 
name at the top of the file and the $name variable in the 'new' 
function.  However, when I run netcomics and try to get it to use the 
new theme, it tells me:

The specified theme does not exist: Test.
Valid themes: CleanRound NoStatus Default CleanRoundImbedCaption 
OldSchool Test

Which seems slightly odd.  Is there somewhere else I need to change to 
make it recognize the new theme?

[netcomics-devel] Line breaks for multiple images?

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Hi guys!
  Hey, I recently got into Schlock Mercenary 
(http://www.schlockmercenary.com/), a Keenspot comic which consists of a 
single image on weekdays, and multiple images on Sundays (see 
http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20050529.html for an example).  When I 
archive Sundays with netcomics, however, the multiple images are shown 
on the generated HTML page in a long horizontal line, with nothing 
between them.  While this works, it would be really nice to be able to 
make netcomics insert a <br> in between each consecutive image for a 
given day.  However, I'm not quite sure what area of netcomics I would 
need to change to write in this behaviour.  Does anybody know where I 
should look?

[netcomics-devel] Warning in lib/unitedmedia when retreiving Frank and Ernest

[Eddy C. <eco...@gm...>]

Hi Netcomics developers,

When I retrieve the comic Frank and Ernest I receive the following
Perl warning relating to the file 'lib/unitedmedia':

 Use of uninitialized value in addition (+) at [my-path]/unitedmedia line 2=
0.

I believe that the function 'fae' is incorrect in the
'lib/unitedmedia' file. The last argument ($func) that is passed to
the function 'unitedmedia' should be 'fae', not 'franknernest'.  The
following patch fixes the warning for me. Feel free to apply...

Re: [netcomics-devel] Cookie support?

[Chris H. <ho...@re...>]

: site a particular cookie.  Any idea if this is even feasible?  I don't
: know enough about the libwww-perl library to know where to start.  I
: know that both wget and curl support cookies, at least from a
: Netscape-style cookies.txt.  Any comments?

Adding an option to support cookies should be fairly straight forward.

LWP can handle cookies; When the LWP::UserAgent object is constructed,
you can specify an HTTP::Cookie object.  the default class uses a
proprietary format, but the LWP package comes standard with
HTTP::Cookies::Netscape which supports the more traditional file people
are used to (there's also a seperate HTTP::Cookies::Mozilla available, but
i'm not sure what the differenes are)

making the change to Netcomics::Factory to construct a new cookie object
and pass it to the $ua object should be fairly easy (search 'perldoc
LWP::UserAgent' for 'cookie_jar').  the hard part is deciding wether you
wnat to support multiple file formats or not.

Netcomics::ExternalUserAgent contains the wget command line used if the
person doesn't have LWP installed.  you can add the neccessary options
there.

[netcomics-devel] Cookie support?

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Hi guys!
  Hey, I've got another thing I'd like to get working on netcomics... 
cookie support.  For instance, you can sign up for a free "member 
account" at mycomicspage.com and download from their entire archive 
rather than just the last two weeks, but it requires that you pass the 
site a particular cookie.  Any idea if this is even feasible?  I don't 
know enough about the libwww-perl library to know where to start.  I 
know that both wget and curl support cookies, at least from a 
Netscape-style cookies.txt.  Any comments?

BTW: Clint, welcome to the project.

Your recent flurry of activity is much appreciated.

I'm now itching to get back into the swing of things clean up a few of the
modules on my personal todo list (once work stops being so damn demanding
that is).

[netcomics-devel] Frank & Ernest moved

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Hi!
  Hey, Frank & Ernest just moved all their comics from their site 
(www.frandandernest.com) to comics.com.  As a result, the definition 
frankandernest no longer works, and need to be updated.  My question 
is:  Should we just roll frankandernest into the comics.com definition, 
or leave it in a separate file?

RE: [netcomics-devel] $user_archive_path

[Hochstedler, B. (M. GEMS-IT) <ben...@me...>]

Clint,

Sounds great.  However, I really don't think many people
would really need to be able to have the comic name be
in the middle in a path.  If you really want to do that,
just be sure that if %comic isn't in the string that it
just tacks the comic name on the end.

[netcomics-devel] $user_archive_path

[Clint O. <cli...@ol...>]

Hi!
  Hey, just wanted to let y'all know that I've written and committed the 
$user_archive_path config option.  It seems to work with any option I 
throw at it.

One thing I'm considering is adding a wildcard to the $user_archive_path 
specification to stand for the name.  Right now, it just tacks on 
"Comic_name/" to the end of whatever you have in the variable.  What I'd 
like to do is have something like %comic in $user_archive_path which 
would get replaced by the actual comic name.

Right now, you can only have the comic name at the end:
"../archives/" always expands to "../archives/Comic_name/"

With the new %comic wildcard, you would write that as:
"../archives/%comic/" which would expand to "../archives/Comic_name/"

The advantage would be that you could put %comic anywhere in the string, 
not just at the end.

Anyways, that's what I'm working on... Cheers!

Feel free to fix them in CVS.  Just be sure to do a retreaval of at least 2

Heh... just found out that all you have to do is set the $hof of the 
kingfeatures comic definition to 0, and they all work fine with getting 
today's comic.  The same holds for unitedmedia and several others, they 
all work fine with the hof set to 0.  Is there some compelling reason 
why we need to keep the comics in sync with what's currently available 
on the website, or can I just switch them all over and have them up to date?
