2011-12-19 Brian Neal For #194, we no longer need the mailer application.
2011-12-19 Brian Neal For #194, create a task to run the queued_search's process_search_queue command periodically.
2011-12-19 Brian Neal Fix for trying to redis.mget() and empty list of keys.
2011-12-18 Brian Neal Was catching redis.RedisError exception, but already had local variable called redis. This seemed to work in development, but failed on Python 2.5.
2011-12-18 Brian Neal Created Celery tasks to process new posts and topics. Keep the updated topic set in Redis.
2011-12-17 Brian Neal Use a case-insensitive sort for the who's online list. Clarify the max users statistic wording.

2011-12-17 Brian Neal For #194, rework the who's online and max users functions.
2011-12-16 Brian Neal For #194, add a celery task for purging deleted private messages.
2011-12-15 Brian Neal Moved the imports from the top of the file into the task function. This seemed to prevent some strange import errors that only occurred on the production server. I don't know if the problems were related to mod_wsgi or Python 2.5 or what.
2011-12-15 Brian Neal For #194, add a celery beat task for Django & forum cleanup.
2011-12-14 Brian Neal For #194, convert the POTD management command to a celery task.

2011-12-11 Brian Neal Converted production environment to a virtualenv; had to tweak some paths and the .wsgi file accordingly.
2011-12-08 Brian Neal After creating a virtualenv (finally), adding a requirements file.
2011-12-07 Brian Neal For #237, use Redis as the source of posts for the RSS feeds to hopefully eliminate some slow queries.
2011-12-04 Brian Neal Created a centralized spot to get a Redis connection so that settings can be managed in one place.
2011-12-04 Brian Neal Some users are still having problems with the pop-up login. I think they are actually getting 403s because of the CSRF protection. So I have modified the base template to always have a javascript variable called csrf_token available when they aren't logged in. The ajax_login.js script was then modified to send this value with the ajax post. Fingers crossed.
2011-12-03 Brian Neal Added the rate_limit_clear management command, to delete IP addresses from the rate limit datastore.
2011-12-03 Brian Neal Refactor the logic in the rate limiter decorator. Check to see if the request was ajax, as the ajax view always returns 200. Have to decode the JSON response to see if an error occurred or not.
2011-12-03 Brian Neal Made some tweaks to the ajax login javascript.
2011-12-03 Brian Neal Changed the lockout time on logins to 2 minutes.
2011-12-03 Brian Neal For #240, make the login dialog a bit taller so no scroll bar appears on Firefox.

2011-12-03 Brian Neal For #240, add an "ajaxy" login via a jQuery UI pop-up dialog to streamline the login process.
2011-11-30 Brian Neal For #236, switch to a settings package scheme.
2011-11-24 Brian Neal Removed the warning about AT&T and sbcglobal on the registration page. Added "text" classes to the registration text widgets.
2011-11-22 Brian Neal Adding Ariel's (DreadInBabylon) awesome new news topic icons.
2011-11-06 Brian Neal Backout last change. Stay xhtml for now.
2011-11-05 Brian Neal Configure jPlayer to show hours in the duration.
2011-11-05 Brian Neal Changed to HMTL5 in base template.
2011-10-22 Brian Neal For #235, some minor news tweaks. The submitted by text is now a link to the author's profile. Only show 1 textarea to the user when submitting a new news story. The admin can paste into the 2nd one if needed.
2011-10-22 Brian Neal Added a custom tag to display a link to a profile. Refactored the avatar tag to optionally display a profile link around the image. Removed the width and height attributes from the avatar image tag. I think this was causing disk hits whenever those properties were not cached. The avatar tag is now an inclusion tag.
2011-10-20 Brian Neal For #233; add social media sharing buttons to the photo of the day app.
2011-10-20 Brian Neal For #233, switched to asynchronous loading of the social media sharing javascript. Also switched to Facebook's javascript SDK instead of using an iframe for the like/share button.
2011-10-19 Brian Neal For #232, add some javascript to resize large images in user comments.
2011-10-19 Brian Neal For #234, update jPlayer to 2.0.1.
2011-10-19 Brian Neal For #233; add social media sharing buttons to podcast pages.
2011-10-18 Brian Neal For #233, add a meta description field for news stories. This field will get put in the open graph meta tag for better descriptions when shared on social media sites.
2011-10-18 Brian Neal For #233, make sure og:url and og:image are fully qualified (http://).
2011-10-18 Brian Neal For #233; first commit for adding social media sharing buttons to news stories.
2011-10-15 Brian Neal For #232, added some javascript to resize pics inside forum posts if they are too big.
2011-10-14 Brian Neal Fix #231: add a 'view my forum posts' link to profile.
2011-10-07 Brian Neal Fixing #230; add a scrollbar to the PM popup dialog if necessary. This wasn't as easy as I thought. Had to wrap the PM text in a div with its styling (max-height and overflow). If I then resized the dialog, I'd get two scrollbars. So for now, made the dialog non-resizable.
2011-10-05 Brian Neal Fixing #229: Download details view with a bogus download ID produces internal server error isntead of a 404.
2011-09-25 Brian Neal Refactor RateLimiter so that if Redis is not running, everything still runs normally (minus the rate limiting protection). My assumption that creating a Redis connection would throw an exception if Redis wasn't running was wrong. The exceptions actually occur when you issue a command. This is for #224.
2011-09-11 Brian Neal Updating to MarkitUp 1.1.12. Merging vendor branch changes into trunk.
2011-09-09 Brian Neal Add a link to John Blair's 50 years of surf music article on the banner.

2011-09-05 Brian Neal Adding Ferenc's 50 years of surf music banner.
2011-08-27 Brian Neal Fixing #224; make sure we block IP's that have tripped the rate limiter or have been manually blocked.
2011-08-25 Brian Neal Implement rate limiting on registration and login for #224.
2011-08-17 Brian Neal For #227: only enqueue user profiles if the user has changed the content we have in the search index.
2011-08-17 Brian Neal For #227; rework last commit slightly (r508). Adapt the desired forums signal signature to the queued_search API instead of the other way around.
2011-08-17 Brian Neal Smarter search index updating for forums. This work is for #227.
2011-08-07 Brian Neal Adding a basic forums test that exercises adding a new topic, post, and editing a post.
2011-07-24 Brian Neal Add the ability to conditionally add model instances to the search index on update. This is not perfect, as some instances should be deleted from the index if they are updated such that they should not be in the index anymore. Will think about and address that later.
2011-07-24 Brian Neal Upgrading to markitup version 1.1.11. This fixes #226.
2011-07-09 Brian Neal Add raw_id_fields to the FlaggedPostAdmin.
2011-07-09 Brian Neal Fix links to events on the google sync page in GCalendar admin.
2011-07-09 Brian Neal Fixing #225; for some reason MySQL finds the user 'John' when searching for 'John ' (note trailing space). This doesn't happen on SQLite. This causes a NoReverseMatch when searching for 'John ' in the member search. The solution is to call strip() on the form field contents in the clean_username() method of the search form.
2011-07-05 Brian Neal Adding a priority field to news stories for front page display purposes. This fixes #223.
2011-07-05 Brian Neal Fixing #222. Verified all the fields have been validated before trying to use them in the form.clean() method.
2011-07-03 Brian Neal Fixing #221. Found some additional cases where the forum moderator check was failing. Replaced this code with calls to the new permissions module.
2011-07-02 Brian Neal Fixing #221. Also combined all permissions checks into a new module, permissions.py. This allows us to cache user, category, and forum groups information since it rarely changes.
2011-07-02 Brian Neal Finishing up #220. Updated to GData v2.0 and using the new OAuth access token.
