How to make the same TWiki application you have ?

May be you can share preconfigured bundle of your Wiki-blog application, just the same you use at this site ? Or may be a short instruction about composing an application.

Have a look at your Blog.WebPreferences. Maybe you've put the BlogAuthorGroup into some access control list there. That's wrong then. BlogEntries are write-restricted on a per topic base. Anything else should be open. Check your global settings in Main.TWikiPreferences also.

Blog Comments

I have an issue where I restrict the BlogAuthor group to a set of authors, but the result is that other registered users can't create comments. How can I fix this? Thanks!

That was a bad idea ... disabling anonymous commenting again.

Brilliant idea!

Micha, this is a brilliant idea! Now, lets get the press notice your site! My notes on the aqcuisition are updated with a link to your site.

Hi Dean,

this blog runs on an Intel Celeron 2.80GHz, 512MB RAM, hosted by http://artfiles.de. So the hardware is pretty standard.

The rest is more or less a demo of current developments, including tuning in non-standard ways. Most speed gain comes from using speedy-cgi and the DBCachePlugin to avoid intensive disk io, that is it nearly gets served from memory.

There are other optimizations in the BlogPlugin that are not yet released to the wild as they are part of a deeper reorganization of all TWikiApplications on Michael Daum Consulting and on other sites hosted on the http://wikiring.de. So the currently downloadable version on twiki.org isn't state of the art anymore.

Please feel free to contact me via email if you need more help.

JojoWiki Hardware & Software Configuration

Your site has fairly decent performance for the BlogPlugin, would you please share your hardware spec and software configuration, and any other tuning tips you might have applied?

I use Konqueror too

and for that matter, I will use any browser to hand under KDE or Gnome, being my 'preferred environments'

in regards to 'testing' and different browser capability, I am interested in proxy based testing but have not found anything so far that does this well.

The idea being that you access a site through a proxy, using a chosen browser and the proxy records the session that you can play back again and again - good for regression testing (even load testing) and would allow pre-recorded tests performed using different browsers to be played back when site changes and updates have been made.

I am also plagued by Javascript on sites for which I write robots to test, typically using Mech or pure LWP that (for good reasons) do not support it.

mean time I continue to use Konqueror and Firefox in preference to IE but I think this is mainly down to the fact that there is not now nor likely ever will be a version of IE to run on Linux.

The picture of Ralph Hollis looking at the robot is interesting too wrt his body language.

I agree totally, it's disgusting. No fricking respect for their elders. They'd rather have some machine take care of them, instead of being with them.

What I don't understand is why they think this is a good thing, having machines manage the care and being companions for their elders. /me SEGVs trying to understand ;p

The last thing so many people see, is the planking of the ceiling. Nobody cares about that.

BlogImages glitch

Oh I just realized that the BlogImages topic in v0.93 is not the one I intended to package. Will fix that in the next release. Stay tuned, there's a BlogFactory coming too that will ease creating lots of blogs.

Initial PingBackPlugin

I just checked in an initial version. That's the play stuff I attached here some months ago in a twikified vesture so that the things are at the right place and do the right thing.

This initial version does nothing right now, i.e. it does not store ping requests nor does it any further processing. But we can already send pings and receive them. There is a test gui to create pings and the server will respond with all the necessary error codes on a wellformed ping request.

There are two ways to trigger the server: (1) using the pingback cgi (2) using the REST interface. But in order to make (2) functional Bug:Item2362 has to be resolved/patched AFAICS.

Hello visitors

I see lots of visitors to this blog that visit just this posting. Why? I mean from where do you come and what have you been looking for? Did you find what you where searching?

If you don't want to register on this site to comment then maybe you just drop me a line: micha@jojowiki.dyndns.org.

Minimal Pingback Code

Ok, here's the stuff I played with for a while. Maybe someone likes to extend that to a real pingback solution for blogs and wikis.

First TWiki-4.0 Maintenance release

we did learn something:

• we need to do more engineering work on releases
• the Subversion server is too small

I like the idea ...

... how do we get started?

TypeKey would be nice too.

No, you are quite right.
