Teething Again

by Kieran Healy on March 24, 2005

Apologies for yet another meta post. How many sets of teeth can one site have, anyway? I’d really appreciate some help, though.

Here’s the problem: I still can’t get the ComPreVal plugin working with page caching. I know it’s possible to keep some bits of the site dynamic by dropping them in to a file. There’s an ‘mclude’ statement that does this. But it’s not clear to me how to use it in this case. Really what I need is to be able to tell the caching system (either “Staticize-Reloaded”:http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/staticize-reloaded/ or “WP-Cache”:http://mnm.uib.es/gallir/posts/2005/03/12/178/) not to do anything with ComPreVal, or even the whole of comments.php. I’m sure this is possible using the “mclude” statement that both the caching functions support. But how? In an earlier thread Matt said that Staticize had a list of files that “Staticize has a list of files it excludes, just add the name of the preview file to that list.” But in the plugin I can only see an array defining files to _include_, even if they have a wp- prefix. Am I missing something? I’m not a PHP programmer, unfortunately. Suggestions presented in terms adapted to the meanest understanding will be much appreciated.

The commenting app appears not to work. This is as much a test comment as anything else.

OK, it did work, but I couldn’t post on an older thread. It told me I’d tried to bypass preview (even though there was no preview button).

If you have a whole dedicated server to yourselves, why do you need to cache pages? Assuming that PHP is sensibly configured, 10,000 visitors/day should be a trivial load.

OK, I can’t comment on front-page threads either. Perhaps that’s for the best; the Terri Schiavo threads are making abb1 look sane and deb frisch, open-minded.

Testing done right :

Ballade des Dames du temps jadis

Dites-moi où, n’en quel pays,
Est Flora la belle Romaine,
Archipiades, ne Thaïs,
Qui fut sa cousine germaine,
Echo, parlant quant bruit on mène
Dessus rivière ou sur étang,
Qui beauté eut trop plus qu’humaine ?
Mais où sont les neiges d’antan ?

Où est la très sage Héloïs,
Pour qui fut châtré et puis moine
Pierre Esbaillart à Saint-Denis ?
Pour son amour eut cette essoine.
Semblablement, où est la roine
Qui commanda que Buridan
Fût jeté en un sac en Seine ?
Mais où sont les neiges d’antan ?

La roine Blanche comme un lis
Qui chantait à voix de sirène,
Berthe au grand pied, Bietrix, Aliz,
Haramburgis qui tint le Maine,
Et Jeanne, la bonne Lorraine
Qu’Anglais brûlèrent à Rouen ;
Où sont-ils, où, Vierge souvraine ?
Mais où sont les neiges d’antan ?

Prince, n’enquerrez de semaine
Où elles sont, ni de cet an,
Que ce refrain ne vous remaine :
Mais où sont les neiges d’antan ?

It now works. I had tried to comment on the first meta thread and i couldn’t. Yay.

Just curious: 床前明月光　疑是地上霜　举头望明月　低头思故乡.

I don’t have any kids, but I thought that teething was a process, not an event, that they come in one or two at a time.

This won’t help you with the caching issue, but I thought I’d point out that the “comments” hyperlinks point to an anchor named “#comments” that is never defined in the page. I think that this line

<div class="commenthead">comments</div>

should be

<div class="commenthead" id="comments">comments</div>

Hmm — still missing that “Preview” button, using Safari. I’m not going to try again — I’ll probably screw up this page if I try to include the ‘real’ html code. Hopefully you can figure out the “id” code from the above, contact me if you want a private e-mail.
