Hi,

My uplink is indeed slow (I'm on a cable line with 750kb/s download and 
128kb/s upload.

However, this does not affect the time it takes geeklog to generate the 
page. For example, from my internal lan (100MB/s) the homepage is still 
timed at 1.78 seconds.

I would like to think that this can be improved somehow.

Robin,

There may be some tweaking that needs to be done in your
configuration.  I have a PII-300 with 384MB of RAM and I rarely see a
page load over 1.25 seconds (and average load time is about 0.9
seconds).

Another possibility, if you run a lot of other software on your
machine (such as X-Windows, window manager, etc) you may be running
into memory paging problems.  Short of kill'ing some programs, the
only solution to this is to add more memory.

Also, are you using any plugins?  Some plugins require a lot of
processing or do many DB queries.  (The worst offender I know of is
the stats plugin, which has been known to slow sites alot).

I'd also recommend trying a released version of Geeklog (such as
1.3.11).  Sometimes CVS contains intermediate code which actually
slows systems (depending on what day you checked stuff out).

Good Luck.

-Vinny

Hi Jeffrey

A somewhat late response but I hope it might still be of help. I did an
LDAP hack a while ago. I don't know how well it will work for anybody
else, but it works for us, you can download it from my homepage at:

It definitely does not support LDAP natively.  I have not heard of a
LDAP plugin either, but one may exist that I don't know about.

The network connection has a measurable impact, however, the page 
creation times have nothing to do with networking.  So while you point 
out a good issue, the script execution is still an issue.

Have you tried disabling the BBC rdf feed and the gallery random photo block
and compared page generation times?

Yes. It didn't make much difference.

One thing I haven't tried is temporarily disabling the code that inserts 
images from Gallery inline in my stories. I suspect that this could be 
the problem. I am presuming that geeklog must render all stories in 
order to calculate the no. of pages? Or does it just do 5 (or 10) per page?

Hi Jeffrey

A somewhat late response but I hope it might still be of help. I did an
LDAP hack a while ago. I don't know how well it will work for anybody
else, but it works for us, you can download it from my homepage at:

It definitely does not support LDAP natively.  I have not heard of a
LDAP plugin either, but one may exist that I don't know about.

Hello,

A new GeekLog site went live this weekend (www.PowellLittleLeague.org) and I
have a couple of questions.

1) I can see in the config file where I can disable to submission queues,
like the story submission queue, and I assume with it disabled stories would
just post without needed to be approved. Is there a way I can set some users
to require approval while others post directly?

2) Along this same line, is there a way to require multiple approvals before
a story is posted? I have an idea of how this could work, but I don't see it
in GL so I was wondering if there is a mod, plug-in, or something out there
that would do something like this.

3) In trying to delete an event the response message said the event was
deleted successfully, but it's still there. Try again, same message, same
result. What am I missing? I'm logged in as Admin when it happens.

4) Tried to edit an event (NOT the same event I tried to delete) and got an
error message that I had not included enough information. I didn't write
down the message, but it talked about start/end dates/times, and location.
All of this information was in the event I was trying to edit. I only wanted
to change the start date of a multi-day event to make it a single day event.
Thoughts?

So far I'm very pleased with GL and looking forward to helping Powell Little
League use it, and setting it up for another site or three in the coming
months.

Thanks in advance for any help.

~Mark

Mark,

Yes: Give them story.submit permissions.

No.

Hmm, works for me. Which Geeklog version is that?

Again, works for me ... Which Geeklog version, which theme?

Dirk,

Thanks for the reply. We're running version 1.3.9sr2 at the moment. All
other features, at least the ones we've used (it is a new site after all),
seem to be working fine. I am able to add events, just not delete or edit
them. Stories can be added, edited and deleted. So all of the evidence seems
to indicate that we're talking to the database.

New information. It now seems to be working, but I'm not sure why as nothing
changed except the data I was working with. Some new events were added
today, one of them needed to be deleted so I tried and it worked. Also tried
to edit and it worked as well. Go figure.

Now, just so you don't start thinking it was just a user error. I am a
programmer, so when things didn't work as I reported I tested what I was
doing to make sure, as best I could, that I was doing what was expected from
the user.

So I'm sure it will remain a mystery, I certainly don't expect anyone to
expend any effort on something that seems to be working. If it stops again
I'll let you know.

You didn't hear?  Geeklog now has self-healing code ;-)

Glad it's working...wished we knew what fixed it.

Hello all,
    I'm building a web site that is a web version of a physical 
newspaper.  Is there a plugin out there that would allow (with the right 
permissions) one to change the name of a contributer for a story?  I 
want to have the names of the actual writers as the contributers.  In 
the future the writers will input their own stories but I have 6 16-page 
issues to add to the site.

Message-ID: <843D1961-6498-11D9-B053-003065550AD8@pacificstream.com>

I'm running Geeklog 1.3.9sr1.

The sending of mail is set to use the PHP module.

This is a fairly new installation. Most things seem to functioning, 
though I am only slowly enabling parts that allow user submissions and 
the like.

My problem is that GeekLog isn't sending out email notifications.
For instance, I don't get any emails when someone has submitted a new 
article.

Also there is a problem with sending out an email to user groups. Not 
only does it send the mail, but the refresh page, after you click 
'submit', isn't configured correctly and ends up with a 'page not 
found' error.

I'm not sure where to start looking for either of these errors.

Any help appreciated
