Dear FWURGers,

This Christmas, we will be doing extended maintenance on the site. Because of this, the site will be down for periods while we update and improve it.

We have planned maintenance on:

• 2013-12-25, 09:30-15:30; We plan on updating the platform and the wiki
• 2013-12-26, 11:00-18:00; We plan on updating the data plugin and tools

The planned downtime we mention in this post is an estimation. The site might be back up earlier, but this could also be due to a restart or a test. We will keep you informed through this thread (and status.fwurg.net if downtime is longer than expected).

Apologies for the inconvenience, and happy holidays!

Additionally, this evening somewhere late (probably around 23:00 or so for about an hour and a bit) I will take the server down for a scheduled backup and regular server update, so we aren't screwed if things go wrong ^_^ It should be up again afterwards.

We have successful finished the major update! The wiki is no longer read-only!

• The chat supports local time.
• The chat supports private chat (these are not logged, and private chat messages are removed after a week).
• The followed topics bug has been fixed. (Bug mentioned by stuiter.)
• The wiki is updated to support new and better tools.
• The data on the wiki has been updated to the new syntax.
• Fixed some minor bugs.

We are still working on:

• Some images are incorrectly/not displayed.
• Wiki pages with <listview> (mostly navigation boxes) are broken.
• All tools are broken (this includes the tax tool). (see Fixing the tools)
• Some wiki pages were not automatically converted. We will fix these by hand.

After testing, we found that the host platform contain a (potentially) defect memory strip.

We have removed the problematic hardware. Hopefully this reduces the amount of crashes we have had lately.

We have finished all open work!

(We might have missed a wiki page here or there, if you see any broken wiki pages, please tell us!)

I forgot to mention: the data on the wiki now has a slightly different format.

The old plugin used _type(hint), and the new plugin uses [type::hint].

So, where you would previously write From_ref in a trade, you have to do From [ref]. Or where you would write Force Level_dot(t10g5) you now write Force Level [dot::t10g5].

And finally, you don't have to put a ! in the data block anymore! You can now just put down <data trade>, and the wiki will automatically see that there is a trade template and use it.


Most of these changes sound more involved than they really are. Just use the wiki is usual, and look at the many examples. If you need help, drop me a line!

I see that at my systems navigation there is no content in the system part. So you can not quickly go from one planet to another as there is no link in the navigation on the left.

Good catch! Fixed.

There's still a bug in the data plugins -- I'm working on fixing it.

Splat!
