Dave Morriss 3f766544ac I145 Various bug fixes
site-generator: fixed an error in the POD documentation and added an
    example. Reformatted 'GetOptions' arguments. Fixed 'parse_page_arg'
    which started its returned array with an empty arrayref. Fixed code
    using this array which skipped this unwanted extra value. Fixed
    'get_ids_from_db' which turns a CSV list of shows into an array, but
    includes a blank element. Removed a few trailing spaces.

templates/content-correspondents.tpl.html: Capitalised "License". Added
    'order by h.host' to the internal query to get hosts sorted
    alphabetically.

templates/content-episode.tpl.html: Added a call to macro
    'zero_pad_left' to add leading zeroes to show number in the title.
    Added a call to 'FILTER html_para' when displaying comments (which
    are plain text). Added a test for whether the show being displayed
    is in the 20-show window before the current one to determine whether
    the short or long comment form is required. Added the code to
    generate the two form types depending on the earlier test.

templates/content-sitemap.tpl.html: Corrected the entry for "Show
    Comments" which contained an invalid URL.

templates/page.tpl.html: Grammar corrections in the '<head>' section.

templates/queries-episode-mysql.tpl.html: Adjusted the date tests in the
    CTE's which compare the episode date with today's date plus one day.
    Why add a day when the test is whether the episode date is less than
    or equal to the current one? Also, it seemed that MySQL/MariaDB
    might need to work with the UTC date rather than the local dat
    implied by 'NOW()'.

templates/queries-episode-sqlite.tpl.html: Similar adjustment to date
    tests in CTE's to the MySQL version. SQLite defaults to UTC however.

templates/queries-episodes-mysql.tpl.html: See above for notes about
    date tests and MySQL UTC dates. Same arguments here.

templates/queries-episodes-sqlite.tpl.html: Date test adjustment
    described above.

templates/queries-ids-episode-mysql.tpl.html: Removed the date test from
    the query so all episode numbers are returned. Added an 'order by'
    since the table can (could in the past) return numbers out of
    numerical sequence.

templates/queries-ids-episode-sqlite.tpl.html: Same change as for the
    MySQL version.

templates/queries-index-mysql.tpl.html: There are three queries here,
    returned as TT² variables. The one called 'query_latest_episodes'
    has been adjusted to use UTC and to avoid adding a day to the
    current date. The query called 'query_last_5_weeks_episodes' has
    been similarly adjusted.

templates/queries-index-sqlite.tpl.html: Changes for the same two
    queries, but just for the tests requiring today's date plus one day.

templates/rss-comments.tpl.xml: Grammar corrections in the
    '<channel><description>' section.

templates/rss.tpl.xml: Grammar corrections in various subsections of the
    '<channel>' section.

templates/shared-call_for_shows.tpl.html: Removed the "FTP server"
    message. Slight tidying.

hpr_generator

Static web page generator for the Hacker Public Radio website.

Installation

  • Clone or download this repository
  • With SQLite
    • Create the sqlite3 database from the hpr.sql MySQL dump file available on hackerpublicradio.org. The default name for the database file is "hpr.db" and should be located in the root of the project directory. The name and location can be set in the site.cfg file.
    • An "update-hpr.sh" helper script is available in the utils directory. This script will download the hpr.sql file, convert it to the SQLite hpr.db file, and regenerate the website using the site-generator.
      1. cd into the root of the project directory
      2. Run ./utils/update-hpr.sh
    • SQLite v3.8.3 or greater is recommended. CTE WITH clauses are used in some template queries. Must convert WITH clauses to sub-queries when using earlier versions of SQLite.
  • With MySQL
    • Create database hpr_hpr in the MySQL server from HPR dump file.
      • sudo mysql --host=localhost < hpr.sql
    • Create a user that will be used by the site-generator.
      • Suggested username: hpr-generator
      • CREATE USER 'hpr-generator'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
    • Limit the user's privileges to EXECUTE and SELECT
      • GRANT SELECT ON hpr_hpr.* TO 'hpr-generator'@'localhost';
      • GRANT EXECUTE ON `hpr_hpr`.* TO 'hpr-generator'@'localhost';
  • Install the needed Perl modules using preferred method (distribution packages, CPAN, etc.)
    • GetOpt
    • Pod::Usage
    • Config::Std
    • Template
    • Template::Plugin::File
    • Template::Plugin::DBI
    • DBI
    • Tie::DBI
    • DBD::SQLite or DBD:mysql
    • Date::Calc
  • See the Getting Started tutorial (GETTING_STARTED.md) for more details on installing the HPR generator.
