[Lilug-dev-sig] Lilug Dev-Sig Meeting Tonight (8/19) @ 8pm

[Mark Drago]

Rob,

I saw the same bug today.  I wrote the code which calculates the date
and time of the meetings and prints it to the wiki page.  It's a
mediawiki extension.  The code is here:

http://git.markdrago.com/git/?p=lilug;a=tree;f=wiki;hb=HEAD
The particular file is called 'lilug_ext.php'.

With that said, I think the problem is more likely a caching problem.
I remember when I first wrote the extension that mediawiki's caching
was getting in the way.  I took steps to disable caching in certain
circumstances, but that was a few versions of mediawiki ago.  So, who
knows if that is still working correctly.  I suspect that mediawiki
had a cached version of the page from August 18th, when it would have
correctly said "tomorrow, august 19th" and then incorrectly served
that same page out of the cache on August 19th.  I saw this problem
first-hand today.  When I first went to the page it said "today,
august 19th", even though it is the 20th today.  After logging in to
the wiki it changed to say "september 16th" which is when the next
dev-sig meeting is.  With that said, for some reason I'm now seeing
that the day of the week isn't being shown when it should.  It says
'september 16th' instead of 'thursday, september 16th'.  Very weird.
The code that converts the unix time to the pretty text version is at
the very end of lilug_ext.php.  I just gave it a quick glance and it
looks fine to me.

Mark.
