[Slashcode-general] problems concatenating httpd.conf and slash.conf

[Nathan T. <nt...@ha...>]

Newbie question: I got slash installed, finally, but when I append the 
contents of slash.conf onto the end of httpd.conf and restart, the httpd 
daemon doesn't understand what SlashVirtualUser is (from the line 
SlashVirtualUser <virtual_usr>), and therefore fails to start up 
apache.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Nathan Thaler

[Slashcode-general] Referencing sections by URL?

[Ralf R. K. <rr...@jo...>]

HI,

Could you reference a section by its own url? ie: main page = 
www.foo.com, section = section.foo.com ?

Thanx

Ralf

[Slashcode-general] Subsections?

[Ralf R. K. <rr...@jo...>]

I think this has been asked before (a while ago at least)...
Is there a way to create sub sections? each with its own topics just 
for that section?

Thanx

Ralf

Re: [Slashcode-general] install-slashsite problems (possibly template)

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

[root@joshua ~/.cpan/build/DBD-mysql-2.0902]# ldconfig -p | grep mysql
  libmysqlclient.so.10 (libc6) => /opt/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10
  libmysqlclient.so (libc6) => /opt/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so

That part looks good to me.

Re: [Slashcode-general] install-slashsite problems (possibly template)

[Patrick G. <cap...@sl...>]

ok, do it without the -a.

Then, do it with a -p to verify that that lib path is now incorporated
into the system's lib path list.

That doesn't appear to be a valid option.

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or
optional for any corresponding short options.

Re: [Slashcode-general] install-slashsite problems (possibly template)

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

OK Well every DBD::mysql test failed.  I get many different incarnations
of this error:

t/10dsnlist.........install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load
'blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql:
blib/arch/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: mysql_store_result at

DIED. FAILED tests 1-3
        Failed 3/3 tests, 0.00% okay

It says that a shared library isn't installed where expected.  Where does
it expect it to be?  I symlinked /opt/mysql to /usr/local/mysql, but that
doesn't seem to help.  I added /opt/mysql/lib/mysql to /etc/ld.so.conf and
ran ldconfig, but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Argh,
Don.

Re: [Slashcode-general] install-slashsite problems (possibly template)

[Patrick G. <cap...@sl...>]

It sounds to me that you have DBD::Mysql library path issues. Template
is merely using DBD, and if you get those errors, it can't even properly
use DBD::Mysql. Have you ran that tests that come with DBD::Mysql? That
could reveal more about your problems. You might look at recompileing
DBD::Mysql and making sure all the tests work properly. You could also
make sure that ld.so.conf has all the lib paths (namely the ones you're
using that aren't standard) and running ldconfig load those lib paths on
your system (this is Linux only too).

[Slashcode-general] install-slashsite problems (possibly template)

[Don S. <do...@se...>]

hullo.

I'm trying to install slash (obviously).  I installed mysql into
/opt/mysql from the tarball on mysql.org.  So I had to more or less
manually install DBD::mysql to give it the locations of the files etc.

Installing template from cpan fails because the DBI fails when it tries to
connect to the mysql test database.  I'm able to connect with the user
that I give to Template, but the cpan test fails every time.  Obviously I
can install it when I don't run the test, but I get this error when I run
install-slashsite:

/usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so:
undefined symbol: mysql_init

I don't know if this is related to the Template problem or what.  I did
install slash into /usr/local like suggested.  Should I have installed
mysql via rpm or into a different location.  I notice that the files
wanted are in /opt/mysql/include/mysql and /opt/mysql/lib/mysql, instead
of just /opt/mysql/include and /opt/mysql/lib which it seems some things
are expecting.

Here is an abridged biography of my box:
RedHat 7.1
MySQL 3.23.40
Apache 1.3.20
mod_perl 1.26
slash 2.0.0

The apache and mod_perl seem to be working fine, and were installed as
specified in the slash instructions.

I've been in the irc chat room, it doesn't seem like anyone is up for a
nice slash chat on Saturday night or Sunday morning.  :p

Anyway, I'm hoping someone will have some hints and/or suggestions for my
little dilemma.

Don.

[Slashcode-general] change font colors in prefs

[Terry D. <td...@bi...>]

Hello, 

I need to change the font color of the text in the preferences section.  I see
that it is tied to one of the foreground colors but I unfortunately change that
particular foreground color, where is it sourced to that foreground color?

OK, I am getting back to this point now after letting it ride - now it has 
risen to the top of the to -o list....

I have a section called "Support." The only template associated with that 
is called "SectionIndex;misc;Support". I modified the "index;index;default" 
template to call the "SectionIndex" where I think the original called 
mainIndex or something like that. This all works well and good.

But what I notice is that the main site page has all the right hand side 
blocks and the Support section does not.

I tried Nathan's advice above and from the admin/blocks interface created 2 
blocks (both static) in the "Support" section:

1 - Support_more
2- freshmeat_more

I added some random content to the Support_more block. I am guessing for 
now (correct me if  am wrong) that the freshmeat_more would have content 
filled automatically via portald.

I set the number of stories to display on the Support section to 1, since I 
am just configuring this site and there is not much content.  I submitted 
3-4 stories to the Support section successfully.

The goal is to get the 2 boxes to appear on the right, but none of this 
seems to have made any difference. I can't find any additional 
documentation in the FAQ at all.

So far someone has quickly stepped up with the answer for my questions - I 
hope this time is no different!

Ah! I forgot about that!!

If you set your block_expire down low (300), and your apache settings low, 
the apache threads will die off quick enough that template changes/new 
templates will show up w/o having to restart apache - just don't try this 
with a production box :)

[Slashcode-general] Meaning of Issue mode for sections?

[barry <sla...@i1...>]

In the admin interface for Sections, there is an option called issue mode. 
What do each of the options mean (neither, issue based, article based, 
both)? What is the practical effect of this choice? The help merely lists 
the options w/no explanation.

Thanks!

Re: [Slashcode-general] Help with plugins & Slash::Display

Chsris' response actually fixed it. I restarted Apache on the wrong machine after I added the new template.

Actually, according to the documentation , if the script running is call foo.pl the slashDisplay will first look for the page foo, then if not found, it looks in misc.  I had to restart Apache in order for it to find the right template.

Its working correctly now.

[Slashcode-general] Points for Community Spirit

[<al...@ya...>]

This isn't really about the slashcode software but more about how I might do something
on my main slash site.

Many of my users do things for our online community which aren't directly done on the slash site
eg - a bit of publicity, or emailing me a review, or giving us books, or giving us an interview,
and so on. Since I don't pay for reviews I have in my head a kind of points system instead.
Eg person W gives me lots of reviews and therefore "wins" first pick of review books as they 
come in. Now this worked fine whilst there was just a few people in the community but I am
happy to say that I have loads of people saying they are doing tasks needed by the site. 
Maybe I'll add in some capability to vote on articles in which case a favourable vote might also
give the author some points.

I am wondering whether people have experience of some kind of points system which they
might have used in conjunction with a slash site (or similar).

I remember hearing about the advogadro system for rating open source authors - but I can't seem 
to find it now even with google searches. 

I'm not afraid of writing perl cgi scripts but am a bit confused as to what is involved in
writing a slash plugin. I could perhaps create a new table for these points and an admin 
interface so that I can "award points". (PS I can't pretend I have much spare time though :-(

Any pointers folks? Would this be useful to you?

I apologize for the ambiguity. The 3rd option:

To see how this might work you can visit my www.DiverseBooks.com site - just
where
you see a book genre think "Professor" and where you see a section think
"type of article

So your plugins are like this:

name              page           section
-----------------------------------------------
data              getprefs       default
main              getprefs       default
create            getprefs       default

>         });

Well, when you do that, aren't you calling the template

name              page           section
-----------------------------------------------
create            misc          default

and *that* template doesn't exist.

notice that the output shows it's not finding the template.

For one of my plugins, when it calls a template, it shows the output as

<!-- start template: ID 126, bjplyrbankrupt;misc;default -->

the template is named: bjplyrbankrupt;misc;default


 From my experiences, the *easiest* way to deal with templates is the
template-tool.

to load the template into the system:

template-tool -u bj -s bjplyrbankrupt;misc;default

to dump the template to a file to edit it:

template-tool -u bj -d -i 126

I recommend you use that to work with your templates.

No, it is not.  The next version uploaded to CPAN will be 2.06, probably in
about 2 weeks time.

Template-Toolkit requires AppConfig.  Apache::Template is optional, and we
do not use it in Slash.
