| 06/09/2006 Our old "SimpleSearch" by Matt Wright stopped working some time ago. Not Matt's fault; we built in an unfortunate dependency on an index file we no longer generate on this site. It was simpler to get rid of it than fix it, single the Google Search is far more accurate, and familiar to most people too. Where you find "Search" links, it points to the Google search. (WordPress weblog pages have a Search field, which is different - it searches weblog pages.) |
Old Search.html's deleted 6-9-2006. |
| 03/04/2006 Thanks to Kerry B for reporting that we'd completely forgotten to update CoolMenus for the switchover from YaBB to phpBB forums. Since the new phpBB forum is still in its infancy, in most cases we just deleted the 404 "File Not Found" links. |
Fixed 03-04-2006 |
| 10-07-2004 Calendar Calcs had a rounding error that affected
calcs for some years (1864, 2005) and not others (1965-2004).
Thanks to Greg H. for catching this! |
Fixed 10-20-2004 |
| 10/23/2003 AutoList worked on top level directory but gave
malformed URL's for subdirectories. When WestHost converted
to WH2, this changed the server path to the files (which Perl
needs to catalog them and print the directory lists). This
has been broken since 9/7 and went unreported. |
URL output bug fixed 10/23/2003 |
| 7/2/2003 Gosh, this one is embarrassing. Out of idle curiosity,
we tested the Bug Report Form at the bottom of this page.
Sure enough, we'd modified the program, and the form no longer
worked. |
Bug fixed 7/2/2003 |
| 6/22/2003 We discovered that autolist, our program that
generates self-updating menus almost everywhere on this site,
had a missing close tag for all <li></li> menu
items. Internet Explorer corrects for this, and we have never
seen a problem on the Mac side either. |
This is being corrected in a new version of autolist that's
still under development. |
5/30/2003 The Master Site autolist says there are only
736 or so pages listed. You say Summitlake serves over 800
pages. What happened to the other pages?
Good question. This site is supported by over 5,400 files
consisting of html pages, scripts, text files, graphic images
and other resource files. We did what any housekeeper would
do. We remodeled. Not a bug!.
Our local directory folder search finds 1,490 files with extension
.shtml, .html or .htm. Listing only the root page on multi-page
articles saves a lot of listing space. |
We moved "big article" pages (such as "Pravda",
120 files) to unlisted directories quite some time ago. Only
the root or master article page is listed. The root article
page will index all the article sub-pages. This saves yards
of page-by-page listings in the autolists. |
| 5/25/2003 The Home Index page's new AT A GLANCE listing
was displaying some links that pointed to frames components,
such as the single most recent page in a collection of pages.
There was no direct way to navigate to the local frame index
so you could browse other pages in the collection. |
Links have been fixed to point to the frame index, so you
can browse all the pages displayed in the collection. |
| 2/6/2003 Coolmenus4 frames working under MacOS 10.1 IE5.2.
No CM problems noted at this time for Mac or Win. |
Fixed. |
| 2/5/2003: Site fix for Coolmenus frames under MacOS 10.1
and IE5. We are still working on a Mac "arrow fix"
for level 1 menu items that have level 2 child menus. This
is the pointer graphic that indicates when there are submenus.
Viewed on some Macs, the graphic cannot be found. |
The menu draw problem was CSS, not CM. A test of the Mac
arrow fix worked and we're still working on applying it to
the site. |
| 2/2/2003: Coolmenus4 (frames version) does not work
well under Mozilla 1.2.1. Child menu items do not drop down
or display. CoolMenus breaks - does not work at all - under
Mac OS 10.1 with IE5.
The home page indexCoolmenus is not the frames version,
but the standalone, and no major problems were noted on
any browser or platform tried. |
We will watch the dhtmlcentral user forum and bug fixes.
This problem has been reported by another Coolmenus4 user
as well.
2/3 Mozilla fix found on CM forum; installed. Their frames
demo works on Mac, so we should be able to make our localized
version work. If you are encountering problems, thanks for
your patience! |
| 12/02/2002: We're still noticing problems where a rebuilt
index doesn't stay "fixed" and gives bad links after
a page is added. We changed the routine to re-index all the
subdirectories in a department index, even when only a page
is updated. This should not be necessary, but it seems to
have fixed the problem. Cross your fingers. |
autolist10 modified 12/2/2002

| 11/28/2002: Sure enough, people have been getting bad
links in COMMENTARY with file names like
wrong: COMMENTARYDear_President_Bush.html
right: COMMENTARY/Dear_President_Bush.html |
rebuilt the autolist index 11/28. |
| 11/27/2002: the same issue found in AutoList menus. The
link looks good, but when you click it you get "Page
Not Found" errors -- on every item in the menu. autolist10.pl
uploaded and tweaked for the server path to HTML. This is
one to keep an eye on for a while. |
fixed 11/27/2002 |
| 11/27/2002: malformed clickable URL in "SEARCH"
pages. Reported by Dave. CGI fixed. |
fixed 11/27/2002 |
| domain name switchover. Registration completed
11/25/02. |
100% DONE. Zero traffic on old site since about
11/13. |
| 11/17/2002 We found a new problem with the listings produced
by script autolist6M.pl. These display in the menu panel of
the department indexes. Files for subdirectories display correctly,
but the underlying link is bad. Clicking on a subdirectory
file (within a folder underneath the index directory) will
produce a file not found error. |
Fixed 11/17. Not real happy with the fonting though. |
