Yep, it wouldn't be PyWeek without a good deal of site instability :-)

Sorry, please bear with me. I'm trying to fix things in order of importance.

Updates:

new entries may now be registered. Still working on file upload and a ton of other bits and pieces.
file / image upload (and deletion) now works.
User feedback is now working again (ie "diary entry added" and error notifications) thanks to Lex Toumbourou.
awards work again now.
newly-registered users are logged in.
Judging is fixed.

And commenting (fixed.)

Given the level of instability this time, I'd say the site qualifies for the Mad Science theme. ;)

Yeah, all we need now is a giant monster to break out of the logo or something and escape...

(Cue giant monster to jump out of logo)

Just to add to your list of to do's, I'm unable to register my entry

superjoe on 2012/05/07 07:53:

Viewing old entries is broken too.

richard on 2012/05/08 01:08:

@superjoe: which old entries in particular?

superjoe on 2012/05/08 04:17:

@richard: appears to be fixed now. I was trying to read my old diary entries.

richard on 2012/05/08 05:03:

File upload is fixed.

Thx a lot Richard. Hope you have time to create your game :)

richard on 2012/05/09 02:55:

User feedback is now working again (ie "diary entry added" and error notifications.)

richard on 2012/05/09 04:48:

Awards work again and newly-registered users are logged in.

superjoe on 2012/05/09 14:23:

Thanks for doing this maintenance work richard. What happened - did you upgrade Django?

richard on 2012/05/09 20:55:

Yeah. The site, which was running 0.96, had become unusable with unicode errors all over the place that I simply couldn't figure out. 1.4 seems a lot, lot better. Except for all the 0.96->1.0 API changes that I'd been putting off doing :-)

Still, the beginning of Pyweek doesn't seem like the most sensible moment :)

richard on 2012/05/10 09:07:

Oh sure. I was just a little desperate though. And desperate times...

superjoe on 2012/05/10 16:02:

On the contrary, mauve, for volunteer projects, it's all about motivation. And it's hard to muster up motivation when Pyweek *isn't* about to start.

Mat on 2012/05/13 20:56:

I think I found another bug - on the entries page http://www.pyweek.org/14/entries/ all of the file uploads link back to the same page instead of the actual files :/

richard on 2012/05/14 00:18:

Yep, judging is broken and I'm working on the fix. Entry pages will be broken until I fix it.

richard on 2012/05/14 01:05:

Judging should be good to go now. Any errors at this point will be exceptions.

Cosmologicon on 2012/05/15 18:41:

This is not an urgent issue, but the poll results pages' HTML is broken:

http://pyweek.org/p/18/
http://pyweek.org/p/17/
etc.

richard on 2012/05/16 03:37:

Fixed, thanks!

Mat on 2012/05/17 20:26:

Hi Richard, the review pages seem to have eaten the newlines in my comments. Has it always done this?

richard on 2012/05/17 23:41:

Got one in particular to point me at?

Mat on 2012/05/18 20:00:

Yeah, I just commented on http://www.pyweek.org/e/deathrayfriends/

cyhawk on 2012/05/19 11:27:

One entry (http://pyweek.org/e/SZ/) gives a server error (500).

richard on 2012/05/23 02:37:

It looks like line-breaks are being honored but some of the lines are too wide to fit the table so are also wrapped.

Still trying to figure out the error on SZ's page.

richard on 2012/05/23 02:44:

Funny SZ uploaded a file with a unicode filename. Ugh.

Mat on 2012/05/26 10:50:

Are you sure? If I include two line breaks they get converted into a space when the page reloads, so all my paragraphs appear smushed together :/

Maybe its just the edit view?
