As mentioned 2013-05-07, I switched EmacsWiki from a Google Custom Search to DuckDuckGo. After a while, I’ll delete all the search issues in EmacsWikiProblems related to Google. :)

In the mean time, just comment on this page if there’s anything wrong.

DuckDuckGo

All the search issues on EmacsWikiProblems make me think that perhaps we’d be better off using DuckDuckGo? Apparently, Bruce Schneier uses it. If you feel like trying it, I’ve added a second search box to the site that you can activate:

I’ve also added a menu item to the Administration section (link at the bottom of every page). Report back if you notice any problems.

FWIW, for some time now I’ve generally given up on the wiki’s own search and have just typed my search terms plus “emacswiki” into my Google toolbar.

The one thing I miss, and which used to work well, is being able to click a page heading to get the wiki pages that link to that page. That’s been pretty much broken for a while now. – DrewAdams

Drew, what browser are you using? The click-page-heading-for-backlinks works for me in Cghrome 26.0.whatever, IE10, Firefox Aurora 22.0a2 (2013-05-03) and Firefox regular, whatever that is. in Win7

I like what DuckDuckGo stands for, though. – MichaelPaulukonis

IE 7. But I doubt that the browser is relevant here.

It works for me too. But it doesn’t work. ;-)

That is, I get results, but not all, and not even the most important, most obvious ones. I don’t have examples off the top of my head, sorry. But I can say that (1) it used to work very well and (2) it has not worked well for a while now (at least a year, I’d guess). – DrewAdams

I guess that means unless anybody else speaks up, I’ll switch to DuckDuckGo in the near future and we’ll give it a try. – AlexSchroeder

Any new elisp files pasted on to the wiki—ie. any page that starts with “;;;”—will now get a different Emacs Lisp highlighting that is supposed to match the default colors used by Emacs. If you want to look at the source code, search for “elisp_formatting” in the config file. It’s supposed to match ‘lisp-font-lock-keywords-1’ and ‘lisp-font-lock-keywords-2’ in font-lock.el.

Here’s an example: AlexSchroederConfigPyrobombus.

I’m using the same code to highlight all pre-formatted code blocks.

Using the <pre> tag:

<pre>
(lambda (n) (1+ n))
</pre>

Indenting using whitespace:

    (lambda (n) (1+ n))

Using triple braces:

{{{
(lambda (n) (1+ n))
}}}

This may result in mis-formatted code fragments that contain something other than Emacs Lisp. Let me know if you find any egregious problems.

Old files are unaffected – their HTML code remains cached.

Ok, I’ve been postponing this for the longest time. Time to take the plunge! I activated the “bootstrap” using configuration for EmacsWiki. If you’re interested, the bootstrap-specific changes are mostly in emacs-bootstrap.js and bootstrap.css. Evgkeni Sampelnikof did most of the design once I had the initial framework in place. Thanks!

If you don’t like the new design, here’s how to control the cookie:

Any changes you want to suggest, email me at kensanata@gmail.com, or leave a comment on the Talk page. :)

I occasionally get reports from people saying that they find the wiki locked. The usual effect is that you edit a page and try to save, it waits for a while and finally you get a message saying that the “main lock exists” and a time period.

If the time window is large, twenty minutes or more, for example, chances are that the lock was left behind after a crash. You can click on Administration → Unlock Wiki and that should solve the problem.

I’d still like to know what keeps crashing the site. A few days ago I changed the way the maintenance job cleans up our git directory (Git repository). The log files indicated that this was where it crashed. I was able to reproduce it and changed how git is called from Perl. I recently started posting the result of the maintenance job, just in case there’s a similar problem in the future.

Sometimes it takes a really long time to save an edit. I suspect this happens when github is slow. I push all changes immediately. Maybe I should change that. Git is still on my mind.

Today I installed a job that logs the wiki lock status every ten minutes. There’s very primitive SVG output as well. Perhaps that will help identify the source of the forgotten locks…

Thanks for your efforts looking into this, Alex. – DrewAdams

Anybody interested in Bootstrap and JQuery and everything else that is new and fancy (says the old fart using Perl)… Have a look at Emacs Wiki using a Bootstrap config file.

This is probably incompatible with any CSS you might be using.

It looks more and more likely that Emacs Wiki will eventually switch to the new look and feel.Thus, now’s the time to use http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-test/?css= and figure out what works and what doesn’t. Let me know what you think, either by leaving a comment here or by sending me an email.

Please tell us how to get back to the current default appearance and cookie state, IOW, how to completely undo (cleanly) the effect of that clicking that link will have. Then I will try it out and offer feedback.

Also, please let us know how, after you make the change, to get back to the effect of the current (now) default appearance, in case we prefer it. Thx. – DrewAdams

Simply getting rid of the “-test” switches you back to the old look and feel: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/?css=

Later, once the switch is done, I’m sure we can provide the old look with a different script or cookie setting. I just haven’t decided on the details,yet.

Thanks. Here’s my feedback, FWIW.

I prefer the current to the new.

1. The text is easier to read: darker, with serifs, etc.

2. The pages are narrower. I use a portrait-shaped browser window, and I don’t want to have to either make it wider (losing screen real estate) or horizontally scroll.

So I, for one (perhaps to remain a minority of one), will choose what is now the current default appearance, after you make the change.

HTH – DrewAdams

Thanks for the feedback. As for myself, I find the font-size too small for my iPhone. – Alex

The font size is big, but the font is light-lined and without serifs, which is not ideal for reading text. Dunno whether that pertains to mobile devices, however. Clearly it is good to have multiple renderings, to let users choose. I don’t mind choosing a non-default look (e.g., what is currently the default). – DrewAdams

I’m looking forward to this. I’ll play with it in my Samsung Galaxy handheld. The only thing disruptive is the zero-margin. I’d suggest the following CSS change: body { margin: 1em; }. – AaronHawley

If you have trouble editing the wiki because of an overly eager spam protection, let me know. I’m using BannedRegexps to experiment with various regular expressions that are supposed to stop spammers. One regular expression I recently tried prevented people from having three or more bare URLs on a page or in a comment. It turns out that there are a lot of existing pages on this wiki with bare URLs! Since this lead to some complaints, I commented the rule (it’s still on BannedRegexps). The following night, we were hit by a lot of spammers again. Right now I’m experimenting with a different regular epression: I want to ban two consecutive URLs on a page or in a comment.

Let me know if any of the various banning mechanisms cause you trouble (the misnamed BannedContent, BannedHosts and BannedRegexps).

And, as always, you can see the result for yourself in the spammer log file: http://emacswiki.org/emacs/spammer.logAlexSchroeder
