Flea vs RubyGarden

Phlip

10/30/2004 5:19:00 PM

Rubistas:

I sympathize with the battle on spam, but I was using RubyGarden to build
the "home sites" for MRW and Flea. Both require pages with transcluded
graphics, to avoid the need for thousands of boring words.

RubyGarden stopped building the <img> tag around graphic file links.

I'm too lazy to build my own static Web site for these pictures. Was images
in spam a big problem? or did some script just clobber my graphics by
accident?

did you have the location: with the capital HTTP://?

Flipster,

The image links just need to be changed to upper-case the protocol
part of the URL (e.g. HTTP://www.blah.com/someimage.jpg).

Hopefully not too much of a pain.

Thanks,

Wasn't the idea of the "HTTP" patch to only apply to _new_ Wiki edits?

What would be the point if it were only new? They would spam the current
wiki pages.

Edits, not pages.

That's the thing - the pages "should" have all been grandfathered-in. I
ain't touching nothin' until the spam fixes stabilize, so the question
remains: Did new Wiki source disable all graphic transclusion by fiat? or by
accident?

I didn't think the spammers had (yet) started to push in images.

Right, this spamming problem is just text related(I've yet to see image
spam), but the current obfuscations disallow any type of modification
due to the nature of the posed solution.

Well, the patch does 2 things: (1) makes "HTTP:" the proper prefix for
recognized lines and (2) rejects edits containing "http:". I suppose the
patch author could have been more clever and allowed either HTTP or http as
recognized line prefixes. Probably a better solution is a script to update
the wiki pages to the new format.

Thanks - I just "got" it. To rescue my few pages, I must edit _all_ their
http: tags.

When you change a page and save it, any http: tags bounce, not just the ones
you edited.
