New server updates

Submitted by caedes 05/23/04 12:48 AM GMT

I've got most of the new server's software working and you can try it out if you'd like. The software is set up at dev.caedes.net. I've imported the full database of users and images as well, so it will look exactly like the main site. Don't get confused! =) I've just pointed dev.caedes.net to the address of the new server, so if you don't see what you expect when you click on the link, just wait a bit. Please try out all the new features before we move the main site over there.

Looks good. Multiple images-per-page options and I prefer the pull down page links.

Looks great. The only comment I have is about the drop down lists. Perhaps you can use a shorter version instead of Page x of x. Maybe something like P x/x or just P x.

I found an error I think: Whenever you go to the nex page of any gallery, or use the drop down list to go to another page, all the options such as "images per page" and "sort by" change back to the default (ie 12 images per page and sort by date). A couple of other requests; In the caedes control, is it possible to have the columns sorted by ascending as well as descending? Say, the first click sorts by descending and the second click on the same header sorts by ascending? There are only 10 topics displayed on the discussion board at a time, is this deliberate? Is it possible to add the "Images per page" function to the author list? And finally, the galleries now use "sort by date" as default whereas before I know you preffered it to be "sort randomly", but I don't know if this was a deliberate change. If any of these suggestions are difficult/impossilbe to implement just ignore them, I know nothing about web page coding etc.

I love ALL the new functions you have implemented; 36 images is much better than 21; I like having the next/prev page buttons, but still have the option of choosing the page number; the "Caedes control" is a very useful addition; and also the added mod functions of "check all" and the edit button are sure to come in handy. Great work. The only thing that would make it better would be if we had the new look to go with it...

I noticed in the image rankings that you can sort by "rating", what's that? Also, we seem to have lost the ability to sort each different category in the image rankings by ascending or descending. One last comment... I think that the discussion board pages over there do not display enough topics.

Rating is the raw voting average before it has been shoehorned into the c-index.

Thanks for mentioning the bug, I had forgotten about it. I'll try to stamp it out tonight.

Just out of curiosity, how big is the database of all images and users? and how is that size growing?

The mysql database is about 72 Megs when I dump it out into a text file (for backups). The images take up about 10 Gigs of space on the server. I'm not really sure how quickly those two numbers are growing though.

I just noticed that in the "Image Rankings" list, when I sort by name mine is not in the right place; IE it goes "Samarn", then "sansoni1". My images are in the list, but I can't find them when it's sorted by name?

That's because capital letters are always placed before lowercase when sorted by the computer. I'll have to change that to a case-insensitize sort to make it as a human would expect. Thanks.

A small bug on the current site, not sure if it has been addressed in the update; If you put an image title, or a part of it, in quotation marks, it fails to appear in the hover preview thingy and the author name is removed. EG it should say: This image is called "Sam" by Samatar; But instead it just says: This image is called . Sorry I am noticing all these things at the most inconvenient time...

How about a nice lil' dually opteron server? They seriously outperform any p4 at server operations. I've even got a real nice fan for opterons (that I bought on accident) if you want it...

Why stop there? I'm sure the site would run great on one of those z900's from IBM. Are you treating? =D
