Description: Use the documenation to test each one of these config verbs # dates use_doc_date iso_8601 date_format date_factor(2) check_unique_date(2) Follow-Ups: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-03-11 11:32 By: angusgb Comment: use_doc_date and ISO_8601: use_doc_date works properly, as it only need to get the DATE part (http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/); however, when the modification time is shown through htsearch, if the format specifies a time part (hours, minutes, seconds and - worse - a timezone!) the midnight of that day is taken and wrong information is shown. When having a deeper look at this, we came across the W3C standard for date time specifications (http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/NOTE-datetime-19980827) I discovered (too late, I know!) that date times should be specified using the complete ISO 8601 format, which is different from the ones that the HtDateTime actually handles. In particular, here is their format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD for instance: 1997-07-16T19:20:30:+01:00 Should we implement this or not? Also, strptime can't handle timezones, which makes modification time not to work properly. However, use_doc_date works fine (it overrides the server date) although - I guess - we could write in the documentation that if this is enabled times in the htsearch output should be disabled. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2004-03-11 11:14 By: angusgb Comment: date_factor: with the current weight formula, documents made earlier than 2000 get a negative score. In some cases documents disappear from the results, which is something - I guess - we don't want to happen. I suggest a revision of this formula, currently: date_score = date_factor * ((document_date * 10 / now) - 9) However, the factor works. ------------------------------------------------------- For more info, visit: http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?func=detailtask&project_task_id=87787&group_id=4593&group_project_id=32485 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
