hosts_in_year.sqlite.sql: query to return all hosts contributing shows
in a period (usually a year)
hosts_list.tpl: `TT²` template to generate an HTML list from the output
of hosts_in_year.sqlite.sql
make_shownotes: trivial tidying
thanks_to_hosts: Bash script to simplify the generation of the HTML
which thanks a year's hosts for their contributions
Community_News/make_email: minor POD changes
Community_News/make_shownotes: minor POD changes
Community_News/shownote_template.tpl: now a copy of the latest template
rather than a symbolic linkl to it
Community_News/shownote_template13.tpl: new template which doesn't
filter 'comment_author_name' with 'html_entity'
Community_News/make_email: minor tidying
Community_News/make_shownotes: addition of File::Copy; addition of cache
management routines; cache is now managed here as well as in
'make_email'; fixed a bug with use of '$/'; POD enhancements.
Community_News/recording_dates.dat: for reference
Community_News/shownote_template12.tpl: removed the "Updated on" section.
Community_News/shownotes_container.tpl: enhanced the datestamp header
when generating "full" shownotes.
The build script was renamed (hpr_container_email_shownotes.sh). I asked Ken
for a better name. :D
Changes to be committed:
new file: Containerfile
new file: hpr_container_email_shownotes.sh
Untracked files:
Community_News/mysql2sqlite <--Symbolic link from hpr_generator/utils
Database/query2csv, Database/query2json, Database/query2tt2:
if the query contained comments with placeholders they would be
added to the count and would usually cause the script to request
'-dbarg=ARG' values be added. Now the SQL has all comments
stripped to avoid this.
Database/hosts_list.tpl, Database/hosts_showcount.sqlite.sql: examples
of using 'query2tt2'
Database/query2csv, Database/query2json, Database/query2tt2: minor bug
fix relating to '-dbarg=ARG' option
Database/edit_episode: updated a message
Database/query2csv, Database/query2tt2: updated both scripts to handle
SQLite and MySQL databases; both take (almost) the same options;
both query a database in a similar way with arguments to match
placeholders; 'query2tt2' takes a TT² template and options to feed
to it; converted the database connection section to a function
'db_connect'; both have comprehensive POD documentation.
Community_News/.make_shownotes.cfg: more comments
Community_News/make_email: added colour test for pod2usage
Community_News/make_shownotes: fixed a bug when using
-lastrecording=DATETIME. Added reporting of expanded output file
names; tidying and updates to POD documentation.
Community_News/recording_dates.dat: added test entry for May 2025
Community_News/.make_email.cfg: Removal of the SQLite database
reference. No longer needed.
Community_News/make_email: A lot of updates relating to confusing
variable names. Rationalising the three code paths to compute the
recording date (-date=DATE), the review month (-month=DATE), and
the default using today's date to determine needed date
information. Removed all references to the database because we
don't need it any more. New date computation functions. A lot of
POD updates, including an EXAMPLES section.
Community_News/make_email: Many bugs relating to the review month versus
the recording date. Some of these must have been there for 12 years!
Rerwrote several parts and added a function for converting Perl date
formats. Added '-force' option to turn off checks when the script is
run in the month after a review month (not uncommon, but fairly
infrequent). Fix for writing bad records to the date cache file.
Updates to POD documentation.
Community_News/make_email_template.tpl: Added new shared variables for
the review year and month as opposed to the recording year and
month. Improved the text explaining the "handouts" versus the final
show notes. Removed the reference to the target show itself. This
used to be where the "handout" notes were written, then they were
replaced before show release. This isn't being done any more.
Community_News/recording_dates.dat: Updated with the correct recording
date (and time) for the review of shows in March 2025.
