schestowitz-TRtentative or final decision friday afternoonJul 06 05:26
schestowitz-TRI dare you to find a static and/or flat-file CMS (or "headless"... BS like "serverless") that has rss supportJul 06 05:29
schestowitz-TRor decent rss supportJul 06 05:29
schestowitz-TRthe CMS status quo is bad.. few players are potent enough, the rest seems like hobbiesJul 06 05:29
Techrights-secokJul 06 05:29
Techrights-secProbably easier to write one, but then there is the matter of UIJul 06 05:29
schestowitz-TRto me, the hard part is the rss stuff as it needs to know age of files and making a properly contructed FULL TEXT RSS feed that validates OKJul 06 05:30
schestowitz-TRis not so easyJul 06 05:30
Techrights-secthat's very easy to do in perl and not that hard in pythonJul 06 05:33
Techrights-secwith raw, static HTML if the <meta /> element is used in the <head> elementJul 06 05:33
Techrights-secthen one can be the date of publication and that can be extracted using XPathJul 06 05:33
Techrights-seccombined with some file system metadata that gets all the recently modifiedJul 06 05:33
Techrights-secfiles and their official publication datesJul 06 05:33
Techrights-secStatic HTML with templates, supplemented with a validator, and CSS might    Jul 06 05:33
Techrights-secbe the way to go if the generators seem poorly thought out and implementedJul 06 05:33
schestowitz-TRright, I agreeJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRto me, a concerning aspect, based on my reading, many of those that do not have database still use a lot of CPU and RAM toJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TR"compute" something with php or similar, e.g. adding template stuff or blocks [sic]Jul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRso you end up not really serving some .html file over and over again, there's still a loopJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRlet me leap a step ahead and say, it seem their real "savings" are, instead of having a *gasp*Jul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRdb let's just store every post as a file, then you can edit the file directly (DAV etc) instead of using INSERT/UPDATEJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRbut much of the rest is the same, namely some script compiling all the bitsJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRthe DB itself is a fileJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRbut a very large fileJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRso they say, let's make lots and lots of filesJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRkaniini  wants cpu usage to go down a bitJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRand mentioned movable typeJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRbut many ran away from it because of the licence, it's still actively developedJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRI always found it inflexible and uglyJul 06 05:37
schestowitz-TRonly very tasteless blogs still use itJul 06 05:37
Techrights-secPHP is not a good idea hereJul 06 05:42
Techrights-secNow some things would have to be re-generated when new files are added andJul 06 05:42
Techrights-secperhaps the safer way would be to use SSI for many things.  Jul 06 05:42
Techrights-secI'm wondering how simplified the interactions can be with some shell or pythonJul 06 05:42
Techrights-secscripts and templates.Jul 06 05:42
Techrights-secMaybe the script can ask for and validate metadata, then fire up an editor,Jul 06 05:42
Techrights-secvalidate the editing and use that as a body, then generate the new page andJul 06 05:43
Techrights-secupdate the SSI componentsJul 06 05:43
Techrights-secoh. I am weak at GUIJul 06 05:43
Techrights-secbut the above would work with multiple usersJul 06 05:43
Techrights-sechowever a disadvantage would be that I am thinking in a way that depends on Jul 06 05:43
Techrights-secshell accessJul 06 05:43
schestowitz-TRremember we may need multiple users (e.g. marius) and some decent GUI for html code to be insertedJul 06 05:46
schestowitz-TRand this would be done and redone many times a dayJul 06 05:46
schestowitz-TRif we roll out out own and go the shell way there is a lot that can be automated and made more efficient, like having many files open at the same timeJul 06 05:46
schestowitz-TRand then update as "followup" stories comeJul 06 05:47
schestowitz-TRto me, the "hard" part is likely rssJul 06 05:47
schestowitz-TRas for templating, one common 90s technique was to put markers for the page and then scan all the files, inserting charges were thge markers are or at start and endJul 06 05:47
schestowitz-TRlike we do in video galleries in techrightJul 06 05:47
Techrights-secRSS is "just" a matter of harvesting data and then writing an XML fileJul 06 05:47
schestowitz-TRhere is an idea Jul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TR(bear with me)Jul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRa) in "old" TM when we add a comment ('update') it shows the node at the top of an index at the front pageJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRit gets 'bumped' upJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRthe idea is, indicte to people a node has an updateJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRnow...Jul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRb) in "new" tm we can have a directory full of html filesJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRc) sort all files by age (might now scale well, but can be split into years as subdirJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRd) then present 20 files based on last modified, generate rss feeds and front page from theseJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRpros: easy to manage, rsync for backups, with occasional full snapshotsJul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRcan be efficent if you regenerate the front page and rss every 3 mins, scanning all the files, adding something from template like <head>Jul 06 05:52
schestowitz-TRthen write an index based on what's to followJul 06 05:52
Techrights-secfind -newerMT ...Jul 06 05:53
Techrights-secyes b, c, and d are easy; a question is about how to 'preview' via the web whileJul 06 05:53
Techrights-secediting via the shell in a reliable and non-public mannner; I guess there Jul 06 05:53
Techrights-secare several ways to do that tooJul 06 05:53
Techrights-secNo need to scan everything repeatedly Jul 06 05:53

schestowitz-TRjust been upstairs, thought how to do the individual page files such that they contain some html in them other than the "core" bitsJul 06 06:06
schestowitz-TRsuch that pages can be servedJul 06 06:06
Techrights-seccreating the pages with a script is no problem but going back and editingJul 06 06:11
Techrights-secthe pages would not be possible with the same script and would meanJul 06 06:11
Techrights-secediting raw HTML then; however it is amost unheard of to edit a page on TR or TMJul 06 06:11
Techrights-secSSI can allow the standardized bits (logos, menus, footers, etc) to be kept inJul 06 06:11
Techrights-secexternal files and thus in a single locationJul 06 06:11
schestowitz-TROK, here is a trickJul 06 06:12
schestowitz-TREach file has a template, then some markers for start and end of "core" stuffJul 06 06:12
schestowitz-TRthe script that makes front page and rss feed uses those markers to only scan the "content" ("core")Jul 06 06:12
schestowitz-TRyes, that can be <body>, but maybe better <div> assuming that you want some page bits like menuJul 06 06:12
Techrights-secthose markers are meta elements: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.aspJul 06 06:17
Techrights-secthose can be queried by a script and then an editor fired up for the articleJul 06 06:17
Techrights-sectext; then once the article is edited, the pieces combined into a single HTMLJul 06 06:17
Techrights-secpage and then the RSS and indexing scripts triggeredJul 06 06:17
Techrights-secthe actual HTML <body> element would have a heck of a lot more from the templateJul 06 06:17
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.w3schools.com | HTML meta tagJul 06 06:17
Techrights-secthere would be the logo, menus, and footers; a specific <div> element can be Jul 06 06:17

Techrights-secmetadata: date, title, slug, author, categoryJul 06 06:17

Techrights-secvocabularyJul 06 06:17
Techrights-secyes data can be automatically filled in at the time of creationJul 06 06:17
schestowitz-TRthge slug is the file nameJul 06 06:17
schestowitz-TRauthor does not matterJul 06 06:17
schestowitz-TRcategories might also be extra overhead for little practical gainJul 06 06:17
schestowitz-TRthe date can be derived from file last modified or createdJul 06 06:17
schestowitz-TRwe can use the camelcase code to improve presentation of links, assuming P for Perl in LAMPJul 06 06:25
schestowitz-TRbut that's a side thingJul 06 06:25
schestowitz-TRgiven the simplicity of the site I think this covers everythingJul 06 06:25
schestowitz-TRthe web in 2004 involved many people leaving comments and comment spam was only starting to become a problemJul 06 06:25
Techrights-seccomments would be a whole new can of worms and would not only require a fullJul 06 06:26

schestowitz-TRand that's actually a strengthJul 06 06:29
schestowitz-TRour core crowd is geeks, not phone slingers like zemlinJul 06 06:29
schestowitz-TRjust seen your remark on gulag noiseJul 06 06:34
schestowitz-TRI agree, but the explanation is simpleJul 06 06:34
schestowitz-TRyou see what they are up to in the "front page"Jul 06 06:35
