Build All / Staggard

Can you tell me the purpose of the Build Staggard feature? Is it to ease server resource useage?

Thanks

Yeah, and it also stops browser timeouts. If running the build process via SSH/Telnet though, it won't work, as only the build all works there (cos there is no browser timeout problems).

Also, is it possible just to update the ratings and hits without doing a complete build? I noticed that when you do a staggard build ( not auto ) the first screen does this. Can you stop the build at this point or will it mess things up ( i.e. the pop page is built on the last screen )?

Thanks again.

The only way to stop this would be to press Ctrl + C whilst running it via SSH/Telnet. Its not recommened though, as it has the potential to screw your database up.

What you could do is copy your nph-build.cgi file and then water down the copy of it to only run the sub-routines that you want. Rather than deleting out sub-routines, you should simply rem out the subroutine calls in the sub build_all.

EXAMPLE:

# Create Home Page
# $use_html ?
# print qq|Building <A HREF="$build_root_url/$build_index">Home Pages</A> . . .\n| :
# print qq|Building Home Page . . .\n|;
# &build_home_page;
# print "\tDone\n\n";

Just put the rem character, #, in front of all lines of the sub-routines you don't want to use in the copied nph-build.cgi file.
========================================
Buh Bye!

Note the fact that Eliot said COPY.. don't make this change to your live copy! Wink

Great! I've done this and also amended admin_html.cgi to add a link into the CP. If I note it all down and let you have a look at it can it be added to the modifications or posted in a new thread for others to use?

Sure, if you write down your modifications, and post it in a new thread, I'll stick the thread to the top of the forum, so people can see easily how to do it :)
