New Forum – Knowledgebase

[Spastic Hamburger]

We now have a new forum called the Knowledgebase. The idea is for it to hold tips, tricks, and solutions for various things (not just for software). 🙂

At last, a KnowledgeBase! 🙂
Definitely a site requirement now the search has been parked, right now it’s fair to say most retrievable content of value on a given subject is broadcast far and wide throughout the various blog and forum topics. Quite a wide range of subject matter, and yes, to such length, depth, and degree on software that it has inevitably become softworn. 😛
What we want is a bot to regularly go foraging through all content and return with topical yet non-sensitive material for collation into a wiki-like system of web pages. Or how about an AI generated categorised collection of KB articles rehashed from chinwags of yesteryear? Could be 10 years from now such goings-on will become commonplace, creating a wonderful but slightly spooky rehashed homogeneity not just at StearnVault but everywhere!

Yep, definitely going to require some combing but we’ll get it filled up! We’ve also got some good tips in the Computer Setup thread from our various adventures through computer space-time that are worth transferring over. 🙂

So, sort of like a Hitchhiker’s Guide? Could be fun!

I think that’s honestly the future of the dispersal of information over the Internet. Everyone anywhere just adding tidbits in and then it’s all distilled into a general index to find and search. That is, after the editors take a sledgehammer to it. We’ll just be classified as Mostly Harmless then 😛

Just FTR Stearnvault has passed, only just though with 55/100 – according to sitechecker. The criticals:

Description check: Description tag not found
Trailing slash: Both URL versions (with a slash and with no slash at the end) work and return the same content
HTTP & HTTPS: There is no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Both protocols work and return the same content.
WWW and non-WWW: WWW and non-WWW work as separate websites

No doubt it’s the parting of coin for a more verbose and perhaps even an empathetic description of the bloopers. 🙂

The redirects can be done in Apache with a regex, I believe. We can’t do anything about the description tag or other attributes on our end without editing the theme file itself.

Google’s tool has some WordPress support so we may want to investigate some of those recommendations when we get the opportunity. Some of them are simply due to the hosting constraints. The Performance Lab recommendation looks like it’s worth considering, assuming it doesn’t conflict with Litespeed or anything else.

The minify recommendation has to do with the custom CSS that the Style Pack lets us use. It doesn’t have an option to minify, though. Maybe a feature request for Robin?

Some of the others may be changeable somewhere in the theming stuff. Ugh, always dislike going into those two areas. They’re a pain to navigate!
