[Clipart] [Fwd: [Cctools-cchost] status]

Tue Feb 6 10:24:13 PST 2007

So, this is the benefit of using an upstream CMS on both Open Clip Art
Library and Open Font Library...

Also, I'm going to hold off until the end of the week to do an svn up on
both sites to make sure things on working on these upgrades...

> DEVELOPERS:
> -- Don't assume any .php file is pre-included any more. e.g. if you
> derive from CCForm you have to put require_once('cclib/cc-form.php')
> at the top of your module
> -- The 'contest' table is no longer joined by default into uploads
> -- A few methods have been moved around, most internal but if you've
> been hacking you'll notice.
> -- AddHandler now takes a 'module' argument that refers to the php
> module with the handler:
>    CCEvents::AddHandler(
>            CC_EVENT_MAP_URLS,
>            array( 'CCAdmin' , 'OnMapUrls'),
>           'cclib/cc-admin.php' );  // <=============
> 
> SKIN DEVELOPERS:
> --- Some page macros have moved around. If you've been sticking to the
> scheme of inheriting from skin-simple then it should all be
> transparent. If you've been hacking then you have some merging and
> re-writing to do.
> -- cc_obj.js is totally deprecated in favor of prototype.js. If you
> want to see a few 100 lines of prototype code interacting with cchost
> look at the new playlist.xml/js code. cc_obj is now just a (slow)
> wrapper around prototype.js so old js code should work the same.
> -- there are a couple new fields in the upload record. do a
> ?dump_rec=1 to see what the differences.
> -- I've been mainly working with the ccMixter skin and NOT skin-simple
> but I think everything should be working there.

> ADMINS:
> - For audio sites there is a new Playlist feature. The underlying code
> and structures do NOT assume anything audio however and your
> developers should not have a hard time reusing most of the code for a
> simple 'favorites' or 'bookmarks' feature for other media types.
> - Enable playlists and the embedded MP3 flash player in Global Settings
> - A 'Run Once' feature allows you present a one-time page to
> registered users. This is useful for announcements, welcome screens,
> pledge drives etc. Also in Global Settings
> - User Profile pages can now have a subtab set. Enabled this in vroot
> Settings. If you enable this feature, the system will look for a
> subtab set called 'person' and use that on the profile page; if not
> found the system will generate one with a tab for uploads, reviews,
> etc.
> - Sample Pools now have a 'auto accept' feature (that works) so if
> remixes are coming from a 'trusted' site they will automatically be
> accepted
> - Contests entries can no longer be 'hidden'. You can hide uploads on
> a per vroot basis but (unfortunately) the contest entry form ignores
> that setting. I'll hook that up at some point if anybody really
> screams.
> 
> PERFORMANCE:
> -- By disconnecting contests from the mainline page requests (which
> allows mysql to cache the results) and breaking apart the modules I
> was seeing a 2/4x improvement of page renders on my dev machine.
> However that's not saying much, it just took the performance up from
> "embarrassing" to "hope you're not in a hurry" on large query sets.
> 
> In general I tried to prevent too many hidden "gotchas" but I'm not
> going to pretend they are not there. My offer to help set up a test
> site on our dev servers still stands so you can test your custom
> modules and skins if you like.
