Just moving to a better place for storage, I’m still looking for a new band.

It comes with great joy to me to announce that my latest project for HDTVTest.co.uk has finally made it’s way out of development. After previously modifying the CMS’ comments section to display based upon chosen category, one would think the step towards extending WordPress into a true multi-paged post CMS would be a little simple – especially considering that WordPress already has multi-paging page support.

I can tell you that that is sadly not the case.

The minimal support in this area involves the use of All in One SEO Pack, and modifying this to rip out the variables you need. However, this is not future proof, and I would advise everyone considering it against it. AIOSP needs to be updated regularly by it’s developers, as these popular plugins are often the focus of hackers. After all, it’s open source, and if you crack one – you’ve opened the door to everyone.

I walk away this week feeling like a true WordPress Ninja by writing this as a bespoke plugin. With this CMS, I’m starting to believe that pretty much anything is possible.

Hi, so this post is created due to Twitter’s 140 char limit.. which would be impossible to explain anything in.

Symptoms: Commit’s take forever; Message never goes to the dashboard.

So, I had the issue whereby I could not get messages from subversions submit statements to go up to the UberSVN dashboard. The weird thing being that messages such as ‘Ubersvn Restarted, Repository Created’ type messages working fine.

This pointed me to the post commit hook.

(Please note this is relevant to the Linux version, booting the server into Windows to find out how relevant that is just ain’t something I have time for).

A FQDN (svn.example.com) would not work on my system to connect to UberSVN, but the local network IP address does (you can check this by running the postcommit.jar file with the parameters you find in the post-commit inside opt/ubersvn/(lib?)/repositories/{name}/

Sorry if that’s wrong, but I left work a while back.

If you had the same issue as me it’ll say something along the lines that the UberSVN server cannot be reached, and to contact your system administrator.

You have to manually change the file in post-commit so it’s the IP as mentioned, instead of the FQDN. I also changed the URL to the IP inside UberSVN, but this does not automatically make the changes you need inside these repository files!

If anyone stumbles across this, and I’ve got the directories totally wrong and you’re well lost, just drop me an email at thepauleh@gmail.com!

**Edit** – A few days after making these changes I tried to make a new repository, couldn’t find it.. switched the binaries, apache svn refused to start.. I’m going to create a 10.04 LTS dedicated server for this, hopefully nothing will conflict with it!
