Elgg 1.8 Tidypics Group Fix November 21, 2011
Posted by idimmu in php.I'm creating a new community site using the Elgg 1.8 platform, but a lot of the widgets are still using the old 1.7 CSS for their displays so it means a lot of fixing.
The existing tidypics/views/default/tidypics/groupprofile_albums.php suffers from this problem but is simply fixed by changing
<?php
/***********************************************
*
* This is used on the group profile page
*
***********************************************/
if ($vars['entity']->photos_enable != 'no') {
echo '<div class="group_tool_widget photos">';
echo '<span class="group_widget_link"><a href="' . $vars['url'] . 'pg/photos/owner/' . page_owner_entity()->username . '">' . elgg_echo('link:view:all') . '</a></span>';
echo '<h3>' . elgg_echo('album:group') . '</h3>';
echo elgg_view('tidypics/albums', array('num_albums' => 5));
echo '</div>';
}
?>
to
<?php
/***********************************************
*
* This is used on the group profile page
*
***********************************************/
if ($vars['entity']->photos_enable != 'no') {
echo '<li>';
echo '<div class="elgg-module elgg-module-group elgg-module-info">';
echo '<div class="elgg-head">';
echo '<span class="groups-widget-viewall"><a href="' . $vars['url'] . 'pg/photos/owner/' . page_owner_entity()->username . '">' . elgg_echo('link:view:all') . '</a></span>';
echo '<h3>' . elgg_echo('album:group') . '</h3>';
echo '</div>';
echo '<div class="elgg-body">';
echo elgg_view('tidypics/albums', array('num_albums' => 5));
echo '</div>';
echo '</div>';
echo '</li>';
}
?>
BackupPC ping too slow October 25, 2011
Posted by idimmu in linux.Whilst adding a new remote server to our BackupPC configuration, it threw the following error
Contents of file /Volumes/2TB/backuppc/pc/www.server.co.uk/LOG.102011, modified 2011-10-25 13:10:23
2011-10-25 12:00:00 ping too slow: 22.21msec
2011-10-25 13:00:01 ping too slow: 49.63msec
2011-10-25 13:10:23 ping too slow: 47.79msec
and refusing to back up the server! After browsing the documentation I discovered the following configuration option
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 20;
Maximum round-trip ping time in milliseconds. This threshold is set to avoid backing up PCs that are remotely connected through WAN or dialup connections. The output from ping -s (assuming it is supported on your system) is used to check the round-trip packet time. On your local LAN round-trip times should be much less than 20msec. On most WAN or dialup connections the round-trip time will be typically more than 20msec. Tune if necessary.
After altering the host's config file and adding that parameter with a value of 200 the server then started to back up!

List Contents Of An RPM Package March 30, 2011
Posted by idimmu in linux, redhat.Often when building RedHat RPM packages I want to make sure that the package built correctly and all the files are present before I actually install the RPM, but I do keep forgetting the command to do this, so here it is for prosperity!
rpm -qlp <packagename>
e.g.
root@build:/usr/src/redhat/SPECS# rpm -qlp ../RPMS/noarch/servicemap-0.16-1.noarch.rpm

Cheese and Bacon Burger at The Victory March 4, 2011
Posted by idimmu in food.Recently I went to The Victory with some mates and watched as they ate an epic burger in front of it, so when I went back recently I had no choice but to investigate!
I opted for the bacon and cheese accessories, of course, and it comes with a massive portion of straight cut fries on the side and a small pot of bbq sauce too!
This was the first burger I've tried in a long time that I actually had to eat with a knife and fork. It was completely impossible for me to get any of it in my mouth, so I opted for the cutlery option rather than the messy option, I don't feel this impaired my experience at all.
The bread was delicious, and the salad was fresh, there was lettuce and tomato involved. The burger was delicious, very flavourful, and it was huge. The chips were entirely unnecessary and I would have been very happy with out them, but being the person that I am, I pretty much ate them all anyway even though just the burger filled me up. The chips weren't great, typical thin fries, and let the burger down a little, but again not really a problem.
Would I eat there again? Definitely, but I'd take a crew of people with me to palm the chips off to :)
