Working on an issue reported by Roger Turner on Radio-Dev list.

In xml.rss.compileService, our support for guids and permalinks is horribly confused. The confusion doesn't show up in Radio-generated RSS files, not surprising, but did show up in this feed, http://www.raibledesigns.com/rss/rd, which is a correct feed, the problem is with our code.

The first problem is when isPermalink is explicitly present as an attribute. You can't just dereference adrguid to get the value of the permalink. If you do, you get a table with a /atts and a /pcdata. A permalink should be a URL. It's a lot simpler.

The second problem is if it's not a permalink. Hey, we're still supposed to respect the guid. I'll deal with that fix second.

Working on restoring from backups.

11/14/02; 12:10:34 PM by DW

To do

Allow the user to provide a list of addresses that we'll back up (in an outline).

Figure out how and when to run backup script. Certainly need a prefs page for backup.

Optimize the monthly posts backup -- if nothing has changed in a given month (the usual thing) don't write a new file and force an upstream. Done.

New things we're backing up

user.prefs (but not user.prefs.serialnumber)

user.bookmarksmenu

weblog posts now have a if they don't appear on the home page.

Things I'm not comfortable backing up

1. workspace.notepad -- there could be tons of confidential info in there. I don't want to back it up automatically.

2. callbacks tables -- the addresses likely don't work on the second machine. I'm going to leave these for round two.

Parts

radio.data.folderNames.wwwBackupsSubFolderName

radio.backup
