Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:05:03 +0000 Brian Neal Fix for trying to redis.mget() and empty list of keys.
Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:55:53 +0000 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.
Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:46:52 +0000 Brian Neal Created Celery tasks to process new posts and topics. Keep the updated topic set in Redis.
Sat, 17 Dec 2011 23:43:00 +0000 Brian Neal Use a case-insensitive sort for the who's online list. Clarify the max users statistic wording.
Sat, 17 Dec 2011 23:19:15 +0000 Brian Neal Created stats for users (number of users and list of newest users).

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:17:35 +0000 Brian Neal For #194, add a celery task for purging deleted private messages.
Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:49:16 +0000 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.
Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:59:32 +0000 Brian Neal For #194, add a celery beat task for Django & forum cleanup.

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 19:50:32 +0000 Brian Neal Converted production environment to a virtualenv; had to tweak some paths and the .wsgi file accordingly.

Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:08:54 +0000 Brian Neal For #237, use Redis as the source of posts for the RSS feeds to hopefully eliminate some slow queries.
Sun, 04 Dec 2011 19:53:27 +0000 Brian Neal Created a centralized spot to get a Redis connection so that settings can be managed in one place.
Sun, 04 Dec 2011 03:05:21 +0000 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.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 20:46:41 +0000 Brian Neal Added the rate_limit_clear management command, to delete IP addresses from the rate limit datastore.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 19:13:38 +0000 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.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 16:25:15 +0000 Brian Neal Made some tweaks to the ajax login javascript.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 15:07:01 +0000 Brian Neal Changed the lockout time on logins to 2 minutes.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 03:25:04 +0000 Brian Neal For #240, make the login dialog a bit taller so no scroll bar appears on Firefox.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 03:14:13 +0000 Brian Neal For #240, tweaked the Javascript to be able to submit the form when enter is typed.
Sat, 03 Dec 2011 02:48:18 +0000 Brian Neal For #240, add an "ajaxy" login via a jQuery UI pop-up dialog to streamline the login process.
Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:41:18 +0000 Brian Neal For #236, switch to a settings package scheme.
Thu, 24 Nov 2011 21:27:07 +0000 Brian Neal Removed the warning about AT&T and sbcglobal on the registration page. Added "text" classes to the registration text widgets.
Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:25:08 +0000 Brian Neal Adding Ariel's (DreadInBabylon) awesome new news topic icons.
Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:14:26 +0000 Brian Neal Backout last change. Stay xhtml for now.
Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:10:30 +0000 Brian Neal Configure jPlayer to show hours in the duration.
Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:54:53 +0000 Brian Neal Changed to HMTL5 in base template.
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:48:45 +0000 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.
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:07:50 +0000 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.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:00:19 +0000 Brian Neal For #233; add social media sharing buttons to the photo of the day app.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:36:37 +0000 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.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:31:22 +0000 Brian Neal For #232, add some javascript to resize large images in user comments.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:24:46 +0000 Brian Neal For #234, update jPlayer to 2.0.1.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:05:54 +0000 Brian Neal For #233; add social media sharing buttons to podcast pages.
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:23:42 +0000 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.
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:14:34 +0000 Brian Neal For #233, make sure og:url and og:image are fully qualified (http://).
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:04:37 +0000 Brian Neal For #233; first commit for adding social media sharing buttons to news stories.

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 02:12:05 +0000 Brian Neal Fix #231: add a 'view my forum posts' link to profile.
Fri, 07 Oct 2011 02:11:33 +0000 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.
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:09:30 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #229: Download details view with a bogus download ID produces internal server error isntead of a 404.
Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:49:05 +0000 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.
Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:50:59 +0000 Brian Neal Updating to MarkitUp 1.1.12. Merging vendor branch changes into trunk.
Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:16:40 +0000 Brian Neal Add a link to John Blair's 50 years of surf music article on the banner.
Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:46:13 +0000 Brian Neal Updating the warning on the registration page; it is now only AT&T and Sbcglobal that aren't getting our mail.
Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:40:34 +0000 Brian Neal Putting the 50 years of surf music banner on the base template so all pages get it.
Mon, 05 Sep 2011 23:43:08 +0000 Brian Neal Adding Ferenc's 50 years of surf music banner.
Sat, 27 Aug 2011 04:23:30 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #224; make sure we block IP's that have tripped the rate limiter or have been manually blocked.
Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:23:55 +0000 Brian Neal Implement rate limiting on registration and login for #224.
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:02:20 +0000 Brian Neal For #227: only enqueue user profiles if the user has changed the content we have in the search index.
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:29:27 +0000 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.
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:02:08 +0000 Brian Neal Smarter search index updating for forums. This work is for #227.
Sun, 07 Aug 2011 03:38:42 +0000 Brian Neal Adding a basic forums test that exercises adding a new topic, post, and editing a post.
Sun, 24 Jul 2011 18:12:20 +0000 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.
Sun, 24 Jul 2011 02:35:17 +0000 Brian Neal Upgrading to markitup version 1.1.11. This fixes #226.
Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:28:33 +0000 Brian Neal Add raw_id_fields to the FlaggedPostAdmin.
Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:12:32 +0000 Brian Neal Fix links to events on the google sync page in GCalendar admin.
Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:00:48 +0000 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.
Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:40:56 +0000 Brian Neal Adding a priority field to news stories for front page display purposes. This fixes #223.
