Site Update Info

My original intent was to fix some problems with
the calendar section of the site, because we were
experiencing a lot of errors. The new software,
I was thinking, would avoid these problems.

Knowing that part of the sofware may have been altered,
I thought that an upgrade to the calendar code would
suffice to make things work.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out so easily. There were
a number of dependencies between parts of the application
that required upgrading some files which, in turn, were
used by other parts. This had a cascade effect which
pointed toward a total upgrade rather than a piecemeal
temporary fix.

The good news is that it has happened, more or less.
The bad news is that I must go and test different parts
of the site to make sure it's working, and that's
a time consuming process.

If there are parts of the site that are not working,
please drop a note to wildgift@mac.com.

Some details -
database tables required alteration
database software required alteration because an old version of the database is used
some alterations to the original code were lost
the newstable template seems to have disappeared

* Articles were not layed out quite right - now they work. Some urls with #nnn at the end will redirect to the same page without the #nnn. This is a side effect, but it will only happen the first time you go to that page.

* The software is basically the same as SF's now. Mostly for better, somewhat for worse.

* The missing image issue is being dealt with at this time.
