Re: Delay on conferences showing up on the site

I updated the conference announcement and added a second announcement for the CfP: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/147 Let me know if you need me to make any changes to it. Thanks, Beth On 3/1/17 2:31 PM, Peter Cowburn wrote:

Thank you for the clarification. If I am reading your comments correctly, I would need to submit a second item so we would be listed under the CfP and the Upcoming Conferences, correct? If so, I will update the original news item to only discuss the conference and will submit a new one for the CfP.

Hi, yes that's the more usual approach (and the only way to get listed under both titles). Two separate news entries, one for the CfP and (usually at a later time, but not always) a conference announcement proper. :)

Ack, I must have messed that up when I was merging the conflict. The conference is now showing up on the website under conferences, but not under the open CfPs section. What needs to be done to get it listed

there

too?

The current setup is such that it gets added on the homepage only under

one

of those two lists. Which list is chosen, is dictated by the first <category> in the entry

XML

file. In your case (i.e. in 2017-02-24-1.xml) you have two <category> elements, and the first has term="conferences", so the entry shows up

under

the "Upcoming Conferences" list on the homepage. If you were to switch

the

two <category> elements, so that term="cfp" came first, then it would be listed under "Conferences calling for papers". This is partly why we prefer separate news entries for CfPs and more general conference announcements. Indeed, some work [1] has been done to enforce that. So, back to you Beth, if you would prefer it to be listed under the CfP list on the homepage, then we just need to swap the <category> elements around or remove the term="conferences" one (with the latter, CfPs still show up under php.net/conferences anyway). Hope that helps, Peter

How long is the delay between a PR being merged and the conferences showing up on the website? My PR was merged more than 24 hours ago,

but

the

conference is still not showing up on the website or in the CfP list.

I'm

just wondering if something was wrong with my PR or if this is normal

for

it to take this long to show up? The conference in question is Madison

PHP

Conference 2017 (2016 and 2015 show up on the website, but not 2017),

and

this is the PR in question: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/142#issuecomment-282673754

Hi Beth, The PR didn't add the news entry to archive.xml (it was lost when you changed the date of the entry file), which is what stopped it from

showing

up on the site. I have added it for you [1]. About how long updates should take, the script to take the XML and

generate

include files for the website runs every 10 minutes [2]. Then it's up

to

the rsync schedule for each mirror, but I believe they're syncing in

the

region of every 5 to 15 minutes (that's what we ask for on the

mirroring

page [3]). So, any news entries should (fingers crossed) show up

within

say 25 minutes being merged, certainly if it becomes hours then

something

is wrong. [1] https://github.com/php/web-php/commit/a22022cf564f2ed2fa3fef44e96052
