Do Guide/Reviews Page updaters - important!

[Morrus]

The database for thew reviews page has now been copied over from the enworld.org server, so the current page is now official defunct.

The new PHP page (which looks exactly the same) is at: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/

There may be a few minor problems with the conversion to PHP, but nothing not easily fixed. Also, the product image folder has been copied over, so you'll need new FTP details. I'll send you them shortly.

Morrus, I'm sending you an email now...

Is this the place you want to talk about ironing out kinks? I just tried to post a new review of the Kalamar DM Shield, and already some strange stuff is going on. The review didn't show up AND the average became a 3 (I gave it a 5 rating, but the average would be 3 if it thought I entered a "1".) I tried to hit the correct score to see if that fixed it, but the new page doesn't know where that is yet.

 

[Blacksway]

Yes, this would be the place...

Either post the problems here or send me or Morrus an email.

I'll look into the problem you mentioned, thank Psion.

It does look like about a day's worth of reviews are gone too. I entered Unahllowed Halls today, came back and saw that it wasn't there. Thinking maybe I didn't put it in, I reentered it and still no luck with the actual posting.

Psion, looking forward to seeing what you've got to say about the KoK shield. It's cool.

OK, adding reviews appears to be working now (thank goodness!)

Again, let me know if anything untoward happens.

There appears to still be a problem with the pics so I'll try and get that sorted.

Edit: Images sorted.

Thanks Blacksway and Morrus!

I'm about to try to add my DM Shield review again... I'll let you know how it goes.

Two quick warts I noticed:
1) Every new page I visit has the browser complaining that www.enworld.org cannot be found. Something is obviously still pointing at the old server.
2) The "latest release" doesn't seem to be working. For examlpe, the latest Kenzer release is said to be the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting (which AFAIK is their oldest bona fide D&D product)

Edit: Okay, it seems to work now.

Not only does it work, but it seems much faster than it used to be. A minor point if you have the time: when you pull up the window to enter the review, the rating spin-box used to default to "average"; now it defaults to appalling. I think I prefer when it defaulted to "average."

1) its the ad banner - it needs to be updated to the new ad system but I haven't found out what the URL is yet.
2) yep, sorting in the wrong order - fixed
3) average it is then.
