Total Posts: 2486 | btw, sorry about that "forbidden" error when trying to access our files and search. for some reason the permissions of the script that manages files got reset and hence spat out that error. all fixed now. i hope it didn't stay too long.

Total Posts: 1676 | several things i did today Z:
1: made all files appear in files.cgi?action=stats and added the sum of all downloads to the bottom...
2: fixed review submission to translate /n's as br's (someone used normal line breaks and it messed up the database; lucky this person was smart and emailed me)
and i think that's it... GO ANGELS!!

Total Posts: 1676 | Z, i think we might have a problem.... i was just messing around with file stats and stuff (not actually editing scripts or anything, just downloading certain titles and seeing what rank they come at and stuff) and the entire file_db database got erased down to 0 bytes. lucky i had a somewhat recent copy... but i think the problem is that it's opening the file database, erasing it for rewrite, and then a different user opens the filedatabase, the 1st one rewrites the whole thing, but then the 2nd user rewrites the database with nothing in it.... therefore i think it needs to be locked. teemz locks all of its files when it's writing... so that shouldn't be too hard to do

Total Posts: 2486 | ahh, i see B. i'd need to implemet a file lock to fix that db deletion problem. (in other workds, when script accesses the db, it locks it for other requests. it unlocks it when done). oh lol, you did mention file locks. you use somehting like flock(); see how teemz does that or wait till i get a day off and work on that. thanks for noticing this, this is a very important bug. i also thought that maybe the script should write a backup copy of file database as well...

sort of OT: how many users/mambers belong to this site. The participation in the forums seems like it is almost always the same group of people. |

i'll add a tankers map link right in our games menu prolly like tomorrow. i wanted to do that for a while actually. that maps link is actually the old version that existed before we got our files script running. thanks for reminding me btw.

anyone know some good free threaded forums? or want to make one?

Total Posts: 1051 | About internal links. I went to the file stats page and you have the catigory of "68K". I think that after you guys had to change severs again you might have removed that link inadventantly (something). It can get a little confusing. |

Total Posts: 1676 | 68K means it's for the TI-89, TI-92+, and V200 (all 3 models in the same zip file). A lot of people don't know what that means, so it kind of sucks that they won't know that it's for their calc unless they go through the top menu.

Total Posts: 1051 | I'm sure you guys know about the feature in ticalc.org's server that you can view simple files (txt, doc, etc) in the browser without downloading the entire zip. I think it would be a great addition to the site if you could incoporate something similar here. I usually look at the readme so I can see the changes that have been made in the update. |

Total Posts: 1676 | Z, i lowered the size of files.cgi about 5k by organizing the tabs a little bit better (replaced every 10 spaces with a tab, but i had to do it manually since it wasn't always 10 spaces)... i actually only did this for about 1/4 of files.cgi, but lowered it about 5k.... so from now on can you use tabs instead of a bunch of spaces?

Total Posts: 2486 | actually, that's what i always do. i think your perl editor changed some tabs to spaces. either way, there are some good perl editors that can clean up the code and adjust indentations properly. i'd sure like to get my hands on one of these, usuakky they're not free though. my bro has program like that for Java.
