News and updates about Publ
I am trying to make my weekends actual weekends, so the only thing I did on Publ today was to refactor the way that properties with optional arguments work. Previously I was using a hack that only worked for string-type things (such as links), but now I’m using a better hack that works for every sort of object you might throw at it.
I ended up refactoring the query generator and a lot of template stuff. It feels good to have my codebase approaching sensibility on a lot of stuff. Even if my wrists don’t feel so good.
Anyway I’m posting this from my iPad in bed just to prove that it’s possible. Although not recommended; vi is kind of hard to use this way.
(this is why i really hope someone steps up and makes some sort of web-based site editing tool for Publ. i just might do it myself after i get Publ itself in a state where it feels done-ish.)
ok bedtime now zzzzzzz esc :wq
Today I kept myself away from pounding away at Publ. But I did fix an entry visibility bug, and also implemented a workaround for the Dreamhost issue.
Oh, and some of my fixes for the visibility bug also led to some code refactoring that will make view pagination a bit easier to implement, so that’s a nice bonus.
I’ve also put some more thoughts into how view pagination will work. In particular I think to keep things simple I’ll only allow views to sort by oldest or newest; The only other useful sorting option I can think of is by title and that’s not really all that stable.
