Hi all I can't get any database query in the admins section to work, they come up with "unknown macro" messages. ~ Ailsa

I am familiar with xargs but am trying to move toward adjusting only modified files anyway, as a matter of principle :) -----Original Message----- From: Mal Raff <mir(a)mircon.com> Subj: Re: [Mickaboo Techlist] Conure page for Happy/Feathers AND Katie the conures Date: Wed Mar 19, 2008 17:13 Size: 292 bytes To: techlist(a)mickaboo.org Thanks Matt... however, try the 'xargs' command...that has effectively no limit on argument lists. That WILL fix it ... permanently ;-) -m- _______________________________________________ Techlist mailing list Techlist(a)mickaboo.org https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/techlist

I've done 'diffs' on the files for 'happy/feathers' against a file that appears normal and the only difference I found (besides the obvious ones because of the different individuals) was that for 'Health', 'happy/feathers' do not have the special green font tags. This is also true for 'katie', whose screen also appears fully green with none of the Mickaboo surround. I wonder if it might be something that the browsers are seeing that we are not (I've tried 2 different browsers with the same result). Matt....got any ideas?

Yeah...curious...I noticed that yesterday but was too fuzzy brained to look into it or even report it. Sigh ... I gotta slow down and concentrate more but on fewer things :-( -m-

Why is their page coming up green and without formatting? http://mickaboo.org/our-birds/frame1962.html ~ Ailsa

OK... Matt saw my plea and answered it ;-) providing me with a minor promotion...but enough for me to fix the files. The 11AM cron run should now show Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue across the top of the browser frame.... Next? -m-

I think I've found the issue here. Unfortunately, being just an apprentice web-droid, I don't have privilege to change it ;-) >>> mir is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. >>> I guess the 'sudoers' police will show up at my door later today <grin> -------------------------------------------- The 'species-xx.html' are created by the makespeciesframes.pl and makespeciesframes.pl-withimages perlisms, invoked through cron every 20min. The 'footer' files are made from the 'species-xx.html' files. Both files have the incorrect 'banner' for the browser outer frame. The makespeciesframes.pl and makespeciesframes.pl-withimages perlisms explicitly include the <HEAD> tags: print SIZEFILE << "HTMLCODE"; <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue</TITLE> </HEAD> .... and therein (I believe) lies the demon. It should take 3 minutes (or less, depending on how bad one's typing is today) to change the 'Cockatiel' to 'Companion Bird' .... -m-

Actually ... I haven't done anything. Perhaps 'group think' fixed it? I'll look tomorrow (when I'm more awake...hate to make more problems ;-) ) If necessary I'll jump into the /include directory and fix them all. It should take just a little time...no problem... -m-

Indeed... its doesn't appear to be only for the conures. I just did a search (grep) for 'Cockatiel' against all the 'species-xx.html' pages and they all seem to need to be updated...both the *.html as well as the *.footer.html . Should that be done? If so, let me know and I'll fix them all ;-) -m-
