Updates to the OPML Stuff
I made a bunch of fixes today. Tomorrow will be more no doubt. Here's today:
-
 Dramatically improved the speed of the chooseio.php routine by moving to a include file listing all IOs rather than a direct database query. I'll regenerate this multiple times per day until I stuff it in a scheduled script. Hey! Maybe I can write a UserTalk script to automate this (It's just an http post). Hm.... Dave's gonna get me into UserTalk soon. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.
-
Fixed automatic hyperlinks in plain text when the http:// is missing
-
Made a first pass at implementing the subscribe coffee cup in the rendered outlines and then pulled it due to missing parameters.
-
Added support for hyperlinks that aren't embedded in url elements (i.e. just as plain text)
-
Deleted all of Paolo's internal outlines from the back end database. I had a very nice exchange with him about his stuff and how a bunch of purely internal URLs made it out into the cloud. I permanently excluded them from the db. If anyone else doesn't want there stuff included in this OPML url database then email scott@fuzzygroup.com.
-
Switched the whole network I/O to Snoopy. Much, much better! A bit slower but it returns errors! Praise Be!
-
Fixed problems with IO urls containing single ' characters (hm... is that even legal?)
For the record, the OPML url database driving this now has 235 distinct OPML urls in it. Not bad, not bad. If I wrote a link walker for every OPML url then it would probably expand a whole bunch more. Hm....
Tools used include PHP, MySQL and Snoopy -- a really, really good Network I/O class for PHP. It doesn't require a full rebuild like Curl so it's much friendlier in hosted environments.
