New on Gwulo: 2022, week 8

A look at the latest additions to Gwulo...
 

General
 

  • Readers' memories:
     
  • Readers are looking for any information about:
     
  • Men's hairstyles, 1890-1900
     
  • Upgrade update: I've spent the last week investigating bugs - the fix for a bug might be a few seconds edit, but finding out which line of code to edit can take several days! e.g. over the weekend I was trying to work out why certain pages don't appear in the search results on the new site. I've tracked it down to some pages having a slightly 'odd' configuration, as a result of coming from the older version of the software. I've worked out the fix, so the next job is to report that back to the project that builds the Drupal software we use to run the website. Much like Gwulo, Drupal is an open-source project, relying on volunteers to share what they know and make the project better for all.
    I'll continue working on the search this week. It already has improvements over the current search, but I hope I can also find ways to add in more of the new features you've asked for.
