Everything is broken (not really)

Obviously, some things were going to break.  That’s what happens when you move a complicated system from one server to another.  So today and for the next few days, I’ll be fixing what we notice is broken.  Here’s the list:
  1. Counter no longer showing on campaigns. This now works again, but differently.  It currently shows the total number for the campaign in that language – not all languages.  It is updated whenever someone looks at the list of campaign supporters for that language.  I will be improving this in the next few days to once again show totals for all languages, and will find a better ‘trigger’ to ensure regular updates of the numbers.
  2. List of current campaigns not showing on the LabourStart front page. Fixed for English, but not happy with the solution. Will seek a better one.
  3. When looking at list of campaign supporters, sort by source not working. This has now been fixed.
  4. Latest news about this campaign is not showing on the campaign page. Will fix this in the next few days.  This is complicated as the news is on one server and there is no very simple way to retrieve it from another (we may have to create a JavaScript or RSS feed of news per campaign). This is only a problem in one direction – the ‘act now’ links do appear next to related news stories. But those news stories are not appearing on the campaign page.

  • Huh. You took all the fun out of telling you what wasn’t working by getting my list together before I did. 🙂

  • The counters are all wonky again, showing either what I think is an accurate number, no number (just the word ‘supporters’) or just ‘1’.

    As I wrote above: “It is updated whenever someone looks at the list of campaign supporters for that language. I will be improving this in the next few days to once again show totals for all languages, and will find a better ‘trigger’ to ensure regular updates of the numbers.”
