Squishdot upgrade HELP- screwy max posts behaviour
I upgraded my 3.x version of Squishdot to 4.1 I followed all the instructions, but when I got to the part where you "push this button once" after the upgrade to 4, I got an error (so of cource I pushed it many times and now get the message that: Error Type: Index Exists Error Value: The index specified already exists). I hate to say it but I did not right the original error down. Maybe it was the same I was I get now...I don't know. Anyway, now I am having problems. I have not had a single post to the page (it seems like since my upgrade...but cannot be sure). I have added test articles with no problem but nothing new by others. Here is a hard fact illustrating part of my current problem: When I set the options to show 25 maximum posts on main page I get 8 displayed. When I set it to show 50, I get 16. WHAT IS GOING ON? Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Have a look at it at http://www.dressage.to/forum/dressage --Sean

Seems to be working now, try to go to the 'Cataloged Objects' tab in your Squishdot object. If all the postings it your site show up, everything should be okay.

I just added a comment ;-)

The max posts thing is complex and convoluted (read, I didn't write it ;-) AFAIK, item_list(used on the main page) returns the following: - all the articles (not only those from the current day), if their number is less than a third of self.max_itemlist - A number of articles equal to a third of self.max_itemlist, even if some came from yesterday - or, a list of articles from the specified date, limited to at most self.max_itemlist articles. Nice, huh?! HTH, Chris

Nice, huh?! It would be nice is that ratio is a property that can be set. Also for an application that I am working on if all the attachments for postings go to a central table that can be displayed.

If you provide the patches, I'll be more than happy to include them ;-) cheers, Chris
