If anyone here could help with the integration, it might be nice to see PerlMonks nodes apper on the Perl Planetarium.

Dear wise ones

my curious mind wishes to know, would the Founder of PERL, Mr. Larry Wall be sometimes seen wandering around the premises here? Also, do you have a designated person to welcome newcomers? Being a business graduate with a non-CSE background, I see that a balance between quantity and quality is important for survival. If a programming language (a product in marketing terms) is not much popular, we could try to highlight its benefits that many people wouldn't know.

The following metacpan directive (mod://) does not work for me make_schema_at of DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader, it should redirect to https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader#make_schema_at. But it sends me to this: https://metacpan.org/pod/DBIx%3A%3AClass%3A%3ASchema%3A%3ALoader%23make_schema_at

But (on modern Firefox) when I hover over the link I see that it points to the correct url. On modern Chrome it fails as well, but the hover has %3A and %23.

G'day All,

This morning, I saw in "Best Nodes" a link to "Re^12: Perl XS binding to a struct with an array of chars*". I looked in RAT to get an idea of the activity in this thread: there were a number at "Re^9" but nothing deeper. I went to the Page Settings (bottom of the RAT page) to change the maximum depth but the selection only provides 0-10.

Scrolling through (the very long) "Perl XS binding to a struct with an array of chars*", I found a couple at "Re^10" as well as the "Re^12" (from Best Nodes). So, I haven't lost access to any content; however, it would've been preferable to get a high-level view via RAT.

Can that "maximum depth" selection be extended? I don't know if there are other factors involved, so I don't know what to suggest beyond arbitrary ranges such as 0-20 or 0-99. Alternatively, could there be a "no depth limit" checkbox? I imagine a text entry box would be another option, but I suspect that might require a fair bit of validation and other work which pmdev's may not want to undertake (although, I'm very much guessing about that).

The past few times I've logged in here (sadly, days or sometimes a week apart) I'm seeing big bumps in XP. Most recently, the XP nodelet congratulated me on +92.

At first I thought it was some recent post getting a lot of attention, but I'm not seeing that. Then I thought maybe a really old post hit reddit or something. But when I search my posts by reputation I'm not seeing new top contenders. That leaves the possibilities that I have no idea what post is getting upvoted so much, or that a bunch of posts are getting upvoted a little, but continuously over the past month or so, or that there's a bug.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

I considered node 11146956 as "fix link" because the author had entered something like [<a href=...>link</a>]; but it seems the author noticed it too, because when I hit "moderate" the page refreshed with the link already fixed (moved to the end, with no markup). That leaves the consideration looking like a request for something else entirely.

I can't remove the consideration myself, right? (Perhaps unconsider could be automatic if the first vote is "keep", and made by the considerer? Or maybe that's just too much magic.)

I'll try to remember to make consider requests more explicit in the future. (But I suspect edits by the author are hard to anticipate.)

if I look with Chrome at that post

• Providing regex using an array

• ?node_id=11146798;displaytype=displaycode

And it's also 8 if I copy that code to the textarea for composing a post. ²

Suggestion: Is there a way to homogenize that to one of these? Best with CSS?

There is no need to discuss that mixing tabs and whitespace is a bad habit, or that the mainstream is against tabs for formatting. And I don't really have an opinion which width would be better suited here...°

But I think it would be beneficial for newbies if they saw the same result before and after posting.

°) My subjective preference is 4, which doesn't mean it's the objective overall solution.

²) Which means the OP didn't notice the problematic display prior to submitting.

update

there is a CSS setting called tab-size

see

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/tab-size
• https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_tab-size.asp

plz check with other browsers and discuss the options. :)

I just wanted to hack a free nodelet hack (sic) on the fly, which automatically links any used or required module in code-sections to CPAN.

But I don't know what I'm doing wrong, can't make it work yet.

Not sure if it's a JS problem or related to Chrome and security issues (couldn't test in FF yet).

Before scratching all the efforts, I thought it might be reasonable to ask for help.

paste this into the JS Console

function linkCPAN() {
    let codes = document.getElementsByClassName('codetext');
    // let pattern = '$1<href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?$3">$3</
+a>';
    let replacer = function (match, p1, p2, p3) {
        return p1 + '<href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?' + p3 + '"
+>' + p3 + '</a>';
    };
    for (var i in codes) {
        if (!codes.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
        let text = codes[i];
        let inner = text.innerHTML;
        inner = inner.replace(/((use|require)\s+)((\w+)(::\w+)*)/g, re
+placer);
        console.log(inner);
        text.innerHTML = inner;
    }
}
[download]

and call linkCPAN()

you should see the properly replaced HTML in the console, but nothing happens in the window.

here some input for testing

use strict;
use Data::Dump;

Any ideas?

update

fixed JS has no hashes but objects bug with if (!codes.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;

I submit for your consideration:

Policy regarding abuses of the voting system

1. Massive downvoting of nodes belonging some specific user.
2. The use of vote-bots for any reason.
3. Voting on nodes you (the human) wrote.

It seems that new reviews are not being accepted - is this intentional?

From the top menu, select Reviews, then "Add a Module Review" or "Add a Book Review" and you just get

This node has been deleted.

As a reader who has not logged in, the time of post is missing from the view of https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=397425;mode=root-and-node (got "Tough beans" message when the text was a link). That makes it hard to track which thread/post I should read next.

And no, color gradient is not helpful in my case.

Please show the age of post again.

I had a link to this on my home node:

<p>[id://1049026|PerlMonks Badge]: [http://www.perlmonksflair.com/kcot
+t.jpg]</p>
[download]

Overnight, ++Cristoforo advised me: "Someone linked your `perlmonksflair` link to a porn site!". I immediately removed that paragraph. I'm reasonably certain that I've seen similar links (e.g. http://www.perlmonksflair.com/<monk_name>.jpg) on other monks' home nodes; they may also exist on non-PM webpages including, potentially, $work websites.

It looks like the author, gideondsouza, was maintaining this up to, and including, 31-Jul-2017; that is also the last time he visited PerlMonks. I suspect ownership of the domain expired and was bought by another party (just guessing, though).

I'll add a link to this post on "perlmonksflair.com : get your perlmonks flair!"; however, given the length and popularity of that thread, my addition may not be particularly prominent. Perhaps gods, janitors, or other cabal members with appropriate permissions, might consider adding a large, bold warning to the top of the OP.
