BUG - V2.1.1 whats cool counts
BUG: ?????

Since upgrading to v2.1.1 the following is occuring with the build_pop_cutoff:
  1. No matter what build_pop_cutoff is set to, the number of popular items produced in the cool list is 11. <%link_results%>
  2. The <%total%> tag correctly returns the set value.


Example: build_pop_cutoff set at 9.

What's Cool - The Top 9!

Top 11 Links (most hits):[/url]

  • link 1
  • link 2
  • link 3
  • link 4
  • link 5
  • link 6
  • link 7
  • link 8
  • link 9
  • link 10
  • link 11
With build_pop_cutoff set at 10, the <%total%> returns 10, but the list still produces 11 results.

I compared the build.pm version 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 and I notice there have been some changes to the whats cool function. I wonder if it is possible something could have happened with this ,together with something on my system (I don't know if anyone else is having this prob.)?

hello Ian

I have checked the both Build.pm versions & the only difference I see is the title_linked sub.

I can't imagine that this is the problem, but I don't know which modules do you use from current & previous versions.

I can't find further difference or any problems with this module.

hello

I have also a mix of modules. The major reason for it is my heavely modification with complete new admin layout HTML in templates & admin modules & the use of my own utilities.

Hi,

In my case, my modules have no modifactions... all my mods are done by plug-ins (or globals), none of which tap into the whats cool counts (that I can think of).

This is what concerns me. And the problem only started when I upgraded to 2.1.1.

I take it you are using 2.1.1 without a problem in this area?

You are not the only one!!!



I first built the 2.1.1 with .01 for the "Cool" links, which built 16 pages! I changed it to 100- which is what I want- and I still get 16 pages built every time...

Really?

So you are using the percentage option (top 10%) etc. Hmmmm

It seems stuck on building the same thing regardless of theh settings received from build_pop_cutoff.

Crazy

Alex?

Check this out:

From the Build option:



Building What's Cool Index ... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Done (7.74 s)


here is what my settings are:



This determines what links are placed in the What's Cool area. If > 1, the top n links will be considered popular. If < 1, the top n% links will be considered popular.



build_pop_cutoff 100


build_sort_order_cool Hits ASC, Title



If you go to the page, you will see that the build order is NOT Hits, Title... I do not know WHAT order it is.



Is there some super secret back-up compiled version of some of these variables? I change some, and they take effect. I cahnge others, no effect...

I checked ConfigData.pm, and it does show:

'build_sort_order_cool' => 'Hits ASC, Title',

'build_pop_cutoff' => '100',

Yes, thats why I thought it would be the build.pm's build_cool sub. Hmmm.

Hi,

I'm not seeing this on my local copy. Can someone send an email to support-lsql@gossamer-threads.com with admin access so I can track this down?

Cheers,

Alex

Greetings!

I list the Top 10 Cool Links in v2.1.1 however use the following setting: -

build_pop_cutoff 0.01

Don't know why - but this builds 10 links perfectly (from a total of 4,886)!

Maybe this will shed some light onto the problem.

Regards,



Clint.

0.01 makes 1 %, and 1 % of 4,886 is not 10! (48 is what you should be gettingCrazy)


So you are saying by using 0.01 you can get it to do a top 10 rather than the percentage?

I will try this...

This was not a good idea.

Mine correctly built the top 1 %, which was a lot of links indeed...

NOW, when I change it back to Top 10... it still builds the top 1%!! It seems it is stuck on the old valueUnsure

I am thinking of disabling this completley, by removing the tag for the cool links in my template, until a solution can be found.
