Problem with removing comics

Caduceus · Post by **Caduceus** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 7:37 pm

Okay, here is a breakdown of what happened:

Someone told me that you deleted comics by deleting them from /comics and also deleting the page from /d.

I did this. Then I did a full update like they said.

It didn't work. I then manually edited this day:

http://marianne.keenspace.com/d/20040611.html

and uploaded it. It worked.

However, I did not manually edit this day:

http://marianne.keenspace.com/d/20040625.html

and it now points to 20040623.html, which no longer exists. And now I cannot FTP an edited version up to replace it. (Did the rules change?)

Anyway, I would appreciate it if someone could either tell me how to fix this and make the backward arrow on 20040625 point back to 20040611. Thanks!

Hmm... Reupload your dailytemplate.html and trigger an update. It's should fool AutoKeen into doing a full update

Thanks, but it didn't work. I actually did this a long time ago so it normally should have had ample updates to try.

This is so weird; it's not that big of a deal because you can still read the archive in order but I still wish it would figure itself out.

Is there any way an admin could manually change the HTML for me? I would sacrifice unto them fanart!

Erm... Stephen... I went through your stuff it seems to work fine now. Which page did you say wasn't working?

Are you sure it wasn't just a cache problem from your previous error?

See, on this page the "Previous Day" button goes back to:

http://marianne.keenspace.com/d/20040623.html

Which no longer exists.

It should be going back to

http://marianne.keenspce.com/d/20040611.html

I checked in a couple of browsers just now and did a reload and ? on Firefox.

Maybe my ISP has some sort of proxy that has the old page and won't load the new one. I don't know much about this sort of thing.

Well, it's not your ISP. I see the bad link too.

you know what?
Delete 20040625.html, and 20040611.html too, and then trigger a regular update.

Well there is an official way and an unofficial way...

The unofficial way is to remove the files affected, so that means deleting the /d/ files for the day before, during and after, and then move the comic to /workspace/comics ...

The official way is to trigger a rebuild "full update", this will fix it.

The unofficial method works providing you manually update it AFTER you remove the /d/ files otherwise you'll just have a gap. The official method just rebuilds the archives entirely.

Okay, I had tried the official version and it didn't work. Unofficial version did just fine. Expect some fan art in the next coupla days.
