I would only do something like that in extreme circumstances,and in all the years I have been pinging people to music threads I created,I don't think I have had to tell people to back off the political infighting crap on the music thread more than once or twice,and each time they did. And I just don't see that ever happening with Willie. He shows up for the music. To MY way of thinking,we need at least one thread on every political board where nobody is trying to beat anybody else up,and where people who normally fight can be civil to one another. I can't think of a better place for this to happen than on music threads.

Seems the formating of the comments isn't quite by the book and it was altering things in unintended ways. Yes, adding a < p > tag at the beginning of a comment fixes this.

Sounds like something that should be illegal in all 50 states,doesn't it? Here is the theme song from one of my favorite teebee shows. It may be the only fictional teebee show ever made about the south that has the accents,the attitudes,and the people DOWN. Of course,being filmed in the Smokies means they have the scenery and the extras right on hand. And the scripts and the actors are all first-rate. Nobody working here just because they have a "name" or are related to somebody important. BTW,the series was based on a short story by Elmore Leonard,and he was one of the major script writers right up to the time of his death last year. If you are a Elmore Leonard fan,you know what the characters are like and will really love this show.

I'm pleased to have a product out that's well regarded and received, and I know there are improvements needed, but working on them just doesn't put food on the table, so it's low priority by necessity.

It's just that I've got other things on my plate having nothing to do with LP/Pinguinite/etc and they have to get my priority attention right now. I know. And you are trying to help sysadmin wrap up the LP stuff. He doesn't know the DB issues like you do. Neither do I. Take this fairly puny category merge operation. I have to check the documentation and am still nervous. But you probably just whipped up something like: UPDATE Categories SET CategoryNum=47 WHERE CategoryNum=48; Then you might finish with a OPTIMIZE TABLE Category; for good measure. I know just enough mysql (and MyISAM) for even that to make me kinda nervous. I think it's right. But you know from experience instantly what is kosher. That's the difference between a dilettante and a pro. Of course, you might not be using any command line mysql and could be using something like Navicat instead but even with a sweet GUI DB interface, you have to know a lot of underlying technical details and what to avoid. I've never even set up Navicat for a remote secure database connection but I'd bet that that is old hat for you.

To: A K A Stone, redleghunter (#60) Maybe we can have a fundraiser someday and pay you to upgrade certain aspects of the software.. In the Ron Paul campaigns, we often used ChipIn. Very easy, anonymous donations for almost any cause you could dream up. We used it for ad campaigns and even raising money to pay travel for activists to go to NH and other states. But they went out of business in 2013 and I don't know if anyone has really replaced them. They gave you a little ChipIn banner to post on your forum or website and handled the payments. And deleted all the records of the ChipIn as soon as it was done. Maybe there's a new company filling that slot now. I know we used the crap out of it over at RonPaulForums.com and never had a single problem. We used ChipIn to run a website to raise money for ads to appeal to Arab readers of AAN, the major Arab-American newspaper in Dearborn, MI. Our leader was a 16yo Muslim kid, I was webmaster. Ads cost about $500 a shot. Abrahem bugged his dad to translate to Arabic, our graphics artist was an expatriate living in Japan, our server was owned by a minister on the eastern seaboard. Very diverse, like all the RP groups were. Archive.org has our front page, our Links page, and even our Ads page (but lacks our banner and the Javascript that made it very slick). With an Arabic banner and running ads in Arabic by the end of our ad campaign, I was just hoping the ads didn't actually say something like "Join al-Qaeda, see the world!". Of course, they didn't. I had actually never worked with a Muslim before that so it was a good experience. Tooconservative  posted on  2015-01-15   15:38:59 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #67.

To: TooConservative (#65) UPDATE Categories SET CategoryNum=47 WHERE CategoryNum=48; Then you might finish with a OPTIMIZE TABLE Category; for good measure. The syntax is fine, and you got the right idea, but this isn't the right solution. The problem was that articles were listed in both cat # 47 and Cat #48. To merge the 2 cats, all articles in cat 48 needed to be changed to cat #47: UPDATE Articles SET CatNum=47 WHERE CatNum=48; Then delete the extra cat in Categories: DELETE from Categories where CatNum=48 Or maybe I renumbered to cat #48. I forget, but either way is the solution. Pinguinite  posted on  2015-01-16   3:00:58 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #72.

I've never even set up Navicat for a remote secure database connection but I'd bet that that is old hat for you. When I started worknig with MySql 15 years ago, all there was was the mysql client terminal. I got comfortable with that by necessity, and after that never really needed to move on to things like phpmyadmin. I've used that a few times but being used to the text based mysql client, I pretty much stick with that. It doesn't require a web interface to use which for me is/was advantageous.

And I knew of the DELETE as well. Or maybe just write the code to make use of the DefaultCat field that you put in Categories already. Isn't that what it was to be used for, to give articles a broad default category like World News or Sports or whatever so that if you deleted the current category they were in, they would get put back in their "parent" Category? Anyway, the name seemed suggestive and it would solve lots of problems with stray Categories that don't seem so relevant a few years down the road. So a Ron Paul 2012 category could be merged from the admin panel into its parent category, like Politics. Tooconservative  posted on  2015-01-16   5:25:06 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #74.

As I type, I don't remember the purpose of a default category. But there is no parent system in play. All cats stand alone, equal to one another. Articles are put in categories according to key words, or failing that, the user must select when posting. Managing categories once they are created is one weak spot in the admin panel. The problem is, if a cat is deleted, something must be done with all arts posted in it. I guess a drop down menu to force the admin to choose an alternate cat to put those articles into. Little dangerous as without more programming it's an irreversible act. And cat maintenance is generally a setup and forget type thing anyway so I didn't worry about it too much.

To: Devil Anse (#1) When someone clicks on “Post Comment” on a new thread, the default name appearing in the “To” block should be “Author” and not the posted “by” person. An individual may post an article because they agree with it, disagree with it, find it to be newsworthy or just interesting. The posting itself should be “considered for what it’s worth” and/or “do with it what you will” with no assumptions made. The assumption is made far too often that someone posts something because they agree with it, and then some members attack the poster of the article and call on him/her to defend it. Create a “Poster Comment” section in the bottom of the article posting section and let the poster state there whether he/she agrees with the information posted, disagrees with the information, just posting the information for news, or suggests that it may be interesting information.
