Category: Site News

I have made minor changes in the templates and skins used for this site. From now on, ‘Add comment’ or ‘X comments’ links will take you directly to the comments posted after the article. There is a new linked marked as ‘Permanent link’ which will take you to the page with full article (as ‘Add comment’ used to before). This change should make it easier for you to navigate the site as well as provide a more standard interface. ‘Permanent link’ is something you can find on many sites and many people are used to it too.

I have also removed the ‘Mail to a friend’ link, since it wasn’t working and I wasn’t going to make it work anyway. Spammers can now focus on some other site for their attempts. Thank you for your attention though.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to improve the site. (It doesn’t mean that I will do it, though. But I will at least know.)

I have introduced a new category to the site: Events. All posts that contain information about any events in Cyprus in general, or in Limassol specifically will be posted in there. Also, photo albums from past events will go there to. In general, it should make searching for past, present, and upcoming events faster and easier. As usualy, I have moved few posts from the past, so that you don’t feel yourself too lonely when looking at it. Enjoy.

Vim for perl developers was terrible broken when viewed with Konqueror. I guess noone uses Konqueror to view it or any feedback wasn’t possible either, because noone ever told me about the problem. Anyway, I have miracleusly found out about it myself and fixed it immediately. You can enjoy the post now with yet another browser.

One of the most annoying bugs left from those upgrades of NucleusCMS that I did, was the double-slash (//) formation in URLs sometimes. I noticed that it was appearing when using ‘Add comment’ link. Apache though doesn’t care and works fine, so I left these as they were until today. The annoyance of the bug was that if I wanted to copy and paste the URL to the full post, I had to clean it up every time.

Today I got bored and pissed off about this problem and quickly found a solution to it. Apparently, it was discussed in NucleusCMS forums in this thread. All I had to do was to make this line from index.php:

$CONF['Self'] = './';

to look like this:

$CONF['Self'] = '/blog';

Those of you who had problems with posting comments should be now totally satisfied. Search engines should also start indexing better, since there will be no more ambigues URLs. Me, well done.
