- Fixed a bug in Old School, the software that renders Drummer blogs.#
- I noticed that there were only five days worth of posts on the cluelessnewbie blog. #
- But there were many more days worth of blog posts on the site, dating back to mid-August. #
- Turns out that Old School was counting days on the home page incorrectly. #
- There's a max of 25 days, it was counting every day as it worked its way back, whether or not I had posted anything that day. #
- So with 25 as the max, it ran out of days on Sept 4. And thus it didn't look at anything earlier than that.#
- I had to rewrite the loop so it only counted days that there were actual posts on, and now it works.#
- You might have been affected by this if:#
- You blog using Drummer. #
- You do it infrequently, as did the cluelessnewbie.#
- This bug has been in there a long time, but I never saw it with Scripting News because basically I blog every day even if I don't have anything to say. 😀#
- Confirms that it's even worse than it appears. #
