Volunteer for AutoGenesis testing

Postby STrRedWolf on Tue Sep 05, 2006 10:28 am

Yep, WolfKeen's out of debugging now. Now I need some beta testers for the offical named AutoGenesis! Here's a short overview of the changes over AutoKeen.

When you FTP:
  • You will FTP into your test comic's account, via the test comic's domain. "ftp.comicgenesis.com" and "butch.comicgenesis.com" WILL NOT WORK. Your comic will be on the forum server.
  • You will find a new file named .lastupdate (if you don't see it, don't freak out, that's normal), and a new directory (premium_temp). DO NOT REMOVE THEM. AutoGenesis will slow down if you keep removing them.
  • Also, if you're using the weekly archives, the weekly template is moved to /workspace/weeklytemplate.html (where it should be). Remember, they still will land into the PREMIUM protected area of the site.

Tag changes:
  • These tags have been removed: monday, daily_archive, set_yesterday, set_today, advertisement_size, last_3/5/7, keenspace_dropdown
  • ***next/last_day_arc*** will act like ***next/last_day*** but will stay inside the archives, and never point to the front page.
  • ***year_calendar*** actually acts like the same -- it just will last longer w/o having me or Kisai have to add 2007/2008/2009/etc...
  • ***include file*** is now processed first -- all include tags are run first before the rest of the bunch. This tag is hereby called a preprocessing tag.

Last fiddly bits
  • You use newer Siteadmin to request updates, but you cannot use it to upload your comic. You MUST FTP.
  • Updates are checked for every 10 minutes.
  • Daily updates are active.

Now... if you want to test AutoGenesis out, post here with your comic's username OR .comicgenesis.com URL. If you have a third party domain, we can put in a subdomain for you (like I did -- yes, I've put my comic in for testing AutoGenesis). Ether way, we will copy your comic over, copy the password over to a new username, and give you the new username (which will probably be the old one followed by "sandy" or "test").

I'll be creating them roughtly at the end of the week, and checking weekly. I really need this tested, because this WILL replace AutoKeen.

Reason: Since this was announced well over a year ago, and it's not being used, there seems no reason to leave it stickied

I'm willing to take part in the beta test. Has the problem with the advertisements in AutoKeen been fixed in AutoGenesis?

Hey, since I just started, It sounds like it would be easier to get used to the new system than to get used to Auto keen and then change. so, sure. I'll give it a go.

Is this something I could, perhaps, test and install on Cornstalker.com?

Not as of yet. I need to write a port to PHP for AutoGenesis Light, but first I need to get everyone here copied over.

Query: do we have any updates on AutoGenesis?

This thread hasn't been updated in a while and the CGWiki pages (Wolkeen and Todo list) haven't been updated since August last year, so I was just curious as to whether this project was still being worked on or if it's been put on the shelf.

And if it is still being worked on, is there a way I can help...

Here's a thought - I'm pretty sure that requests for things that are going to be implemented in AutoGenesis are not being accepted anymore, but I was wondering if this was a good idea:

Reset Default Button - either that the author can use themselves or one that only admins / mods can use. The idea being that it'll toggle a script that will restore the default templates and the default options in the comic settings so that if someone accidentally 'breaks' their comic then it's easier to repair.

Good idea? Bad idea?
