Reply to Denis,
I have been working on new newsgroups archive last few days. This is
an newsgroup posts archive structured in a way so that it feels more
like a forum (that's what you demanded, right?).
COOL
I hit this page: http://dnews.naxx.ru/topic.php?id=117556 and it
started trying to download and save files. Is that a bug? (FF2)
Hm... Yes, it's bug.
I tested it with Opera 10 and Internet Explorer and it works fine for
them.
I have changed file extension to htm, this should fix the problem.
Awesome, the text displays in-line now. (The content also spans the
whole width of the screen, thanks.)
However the text doesn't wrap to the size of the content box, and has
scrollbars on it..? For example:
http://dnews.naxx.ru/topic.php?id=110721
It makes it terribly difficult to read.
I am aware of this issue and has a fix for it. Message will be
automatically adjusted to fit into screen so no scrollbar anymore.
I see you're using an iframe to hold the contents of the posts. Any
reason?
There are two of them and both are minor:
1) Posts have different encodings (some are utf8, others are latin1,
windows1251, windows1254, koi8-r etc). Perhaps I could use iconv (or
similar tool) to convert them all into utf8...
2) Storing messages separately reduces database size and page loading time.
They also have some disadvantages:
1) Page may jerk a little during frames loading and adjustment
2) I bet messages won't be indexed by Google properly :(
Initially I wanted to host messages on several different server to further
reduce workaload and improve speed alittle, but now I am not sure if it is
reasonable. Unfortunately, adjusting frames from cross domain doesn't
work. And putting them into the same domain doesn't differ from putting
them into a database.
So I'll most probably switch to a database solution. Today, perhaps.
BTW, there are other newsgroup on DigitalMars.com (rangelib, electronics,
empire, c++ etc), does anyone use them? Should I import them, too?
