Publishing

This page contains development notes on the publishing functionality of this web project.

2004-08-10

Looking up explanations:
    - done
    - could be prettier - make html, use style sheet
Link to common explanations:
    - need some common problems and solutions, edit publishFailed to add some
    - make the window a better size for the second page (once we have content there)

Questions:
- is the current flow, with pop-up window linking to common problems page in same window, acceptable?

Future issues:
- log file will need to be pruned periodically - don't need more than a days worth, or can restrict by lines
- really anxious to allow user to overwrite own changes - python code written, but troublesome to integrate into perl

Subdirectories:
- it's ugly, but it's done. Looking forward to converting to python and cleaning up

DILEMMA!
We can't remove the cheat (that if there is not LastModified tag, we overwrite) because then publishing fails on all non-text content. Grrr. We are going to have to use some other method to check the last modified tag (headers?)
