After updating the DrugDiscovery@Home back-end and forums, I found a
couple of problems that I had to fix by hand.
1. There were two "RSS feed is available" links. This is due to there
being one in \inc\news.inc and one in \user\index.php
I commented it out in the index.php file, as doing so from news.inc
would break the whole front page.
//echo "
// <p class=\"smalltext\">
// News is available as an
// <a href=\"rss_main.php\">RSS feed</a> <img
src=\"img/rss_icon.gif\" alt=\"RSS\">.</p>
// </td>
// </tr></table>
//";
It also helps to comment out require_once("../project/project_news.inc");
2. Getting News to work is quite fickle.
After trying to run the ops/create_forums.php script, it would always
come back to me stating "can't create category".
In the end I resorted to adding a table in the database and making the
news forum that way.
However, this then gives problems when trying to convert old news. The
news_convert.php script now stops on "News forum already exists".
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectNews then states to
"include show_news(0, 5);" in the index.php file.
Well, that'll break your home page again, as there's a line stating if
(count($project_news) > 5) to move older news to older_news.php.
To keep that working, and not continuously have the highly cryptic
line "You have not changed show_news() to use 0 instead of deprecated
\$project_news as the first param." on the front page, best change
that line to if (count(show_news) > 5) and then it'll work.
Full code:
echo "
<tr><td id=\"news\">
<h2>News</h2>
<p>
";
show_news(0, 5);
if (count(show_news) > 5) {
echo "<a href=\"old_news.php\">...more</a>";
}
3. The **other** index.php file, in ops/index.php, for the project
management page still expects a Subversion revision number.
function svn_revision($path) {
$out = array();
$cmd = "svn info http://boinc.berkeley.edu/svn/$path";;
if (defined("SVN_CONFIG_DIRECTORY")) {
$cmd .= " --config-dir ". SVN_CONFIG_DIRECTORY;
}
exec($cmd, $out);
foreach ($out as $line) {
$x = strstr($line, "Last Changed Rev: ");
if ($x) {
$y = substr($x, strlen("Last Changed Rev: "));
return (int) $y;
}
4. As does the server status page /html/user/server_status.php
$version = null;
if (file_exists("../../local.revision")) {
$version = trim(file_get_contents("../../local.revision"));
