.make_email.cfg: New configuration file to simplify the original options
to 'make_email'
.make_shownotes.cfg: New configuration file to simplify the original
extremely obscure options to 'make_shownotes'
collect_HPR_database: Script to simplify the collection and setup
of MySQL dumps from the HPR server and conversion to a SQLite
database.
make_email: Many changes to make the script simpler to use. It looks for
all files in the same directory as the script. Reduced the number of
options and added a new configuration file. Now reads and writes
a date cache file (defined in the configuration file) where it
writes the date and time of the next recording. Now uses a local
SQLite database rather than linking to the live HPR database (more
secure). Takes an output file name (with optional '%s'). Functions
for loading and updating the date cache (also used by
'make_shownotes'). Doesn't attempt to generate a real mail message,
just something that can be cut and pasted into a mail client.
make_email_template.tpl: TT2 template for generating the mail message.
This whole function was moved from the script itself to this
templating system, making it all a lot simpler.
make_meeting: Minor updates. This script is probably obsolete.
make_shownotes: Almost totally rewritten. It looks for all files in the
same directory as the script. Reduced the number of options and
added a new configuration file. Now reads a date cache
file (defined in the configuration file) where 'make_email' has
written the date and time of the next recording. Now generates
output files rather than writing to the live HPR database. These
files can be added to the database on the 'hub' using existing
workflow(s). One of the files generated is a stand-alone full HTML file
for circulation to volunteers recording the show. The others are the
HTML snippet to add to the database, and a JSON version for use in
the hub workflow. The full HTML gets the expanded comments and
contains markers of comments already read or missed last month. This
version computes the episode number and date which will be used to
post the resulting show (previously reserved slots were searched for
in the database). The extremely complex query that collects comments
has been thoroughly tested and enhanced and seems to be reliable.
Dropped the "Any Other Business" section (and all code relating to
it in the script and the template).
shownote_template.tpl: Soft link to the latest template. Doing this
needs consideration given that the configuration file could just
reference the appropriate file. This technique may just be
a nuisance.
shownote_template11.tpl: Previous template, updated for the last release
of 'make_shownotes'. Now replaced.
shownote_template12.tpl: New template without AOB capability.
