[geeklog-devel] Geeklog 2.0.0rc1 Bugs

Okay,

I have been doing some speed tests and it looks like Content Syndication is
taking about 50% of the execution time for creating the homepage on
Geeklog.net.

On Geeklog.net we have 6 rss files. 4 are article related, 1 comment and 1
forum. The main article and comment rss takes up the bulk of the processing
time.

Looking at the code I see that these files are checked to be updated every
single time someone visits Geeklog.net/index.php

The reason given is that Geeklog allows articles to be published in the
future and because of this, we need to check to see if we need to rebuild
the RDF file in the case that any such articles have now been published.

This is an expensive way to go about making sure the rss files are updated.

I have a few ideas on how to improve this ...  but I would like to hear some
other suggestions!

Tom

I updated Geeklog.net with a fix that should take care of the anonymous
users and topics not being tracked properly.

Note: This does not fix bug 1486

One bug I noticed is that the anonymous users are not being tracked properly
for some reason. 

http://project.geeklog.net/tracking/view.php?id=1487 (Default Topic for
Article with Multiple Topics is always Used for Anonymous Users)

This also probably causes this bug since the session information seems to be
getting lost:

http://project.geeklog.net/tracking/view.php?id=1486 (Topic selection is
lost when trying to contribute a story as a Story Admin)

Hi All,

I went ahead and released Geeklog 2.0.0rc1 today and updated Geeklog.net to
the RC1.

It took a while (backups, copying files, etc..) but I only had a few small
hiccups that really just related to the commentfeed and forum plugin
updates.

I also went ahead and switched over Geeklog.net to use the new Modern Curve
theme.

The topics are also now updated to the new structure that we defined in the
Redesign wiki document.

Besides fixing any bugs that crop up, one thing is apparent that we need to
concentrate on fixing soon. The speed of the site has dropped a fair bit.
This was expected to a certain extent because more complex sql statements
are needed now since we have child topics and allow stories to display in
multiple topics.

Speed on the Geeklog.net server is slow today for some reason. With the old
site I was seeing speeds on the homepage of roughly 1 to 3 seconds. (if I
recall from before this was usually under a second)

After upgrading to 2.0.0rc1 I am seeing speeds of roughly 1 to 6 seconds
(averaging around 3) on the homepage which sometimes spiked to 12 seconds
for some reason.

Obviously we need to fix this through more optimized sql statements, new
indexes, etc.. so the more help the better! :-)

Also if you notice anything out of wack on Geeklog.net post it on this
mailing list so we can get it fixed.

I forgot to mention that the forum has been updated as well to work with
Geeklog 2.0.0. If you notice any issues with it please let us know. I also
notice that when I enabled the upgraded forum on Geeklog.net that the site
seemed to slow by a second or so. This indicates the forum could also use a
bit of optimizing as well.

Thanks

Tom
