New Poll Button?

[asmallsol]

I see it and I am using the Black template eventhough in my controls I have the blue one set. For some odd reason, it loads in blue then right before it is done loading it turns back to blue.

that only happened when i switched boards from phpbb to this one...
there wasn't a converter out back then

THAT won't happen.
the posts, although easy to back up, a BITCH to re-up to the database.
our DB of JUST POST TEXT is about 35MB. 35MB text file folks.
there's only 21,000 lines for the member file i can do that in about a half hour
lmao

php times out after 30 sec's of exe time... so basically, i have to sit there for 17-232 hours, chopping the 32 meg, 2000000 line file into about 1000 line segments, and up one at a time.
thats what happened last time... and i missed shit in the middle....

there's gotta be an easier way.... but i don't know of one.

perl is your friend...

Seriously, it would take you 2 minutes to write a script that split your file for you.

although i dont know perl that well, i could whip up a java app to do the same thing... prett easy.

Sure, a stringtokenizer would work just as well.
But B hates OOP. :unsure:

OOP blows ass.
instead of writing one file, you have to wite 3.
one for the template
one for the code
and one for them to parse together.

:ghey:

 

[lsvtec]

Are you trying to write OO BASIC or something????

Java, 1 file, 1 program. (In a simple case like this)

 

[posol]

well, the site is written in PHP, not JSP so

 

[CivicRacingGirl7]

i see the button...

But a program to split the post file into many 1000 line files doesn't have to have anything to do with the site. It would be a standalone.

Use a StringTokenizer to split the original file on \n (or what ever line terminator you are using), loop through all the tokens appending them to a StringBuffer until that StringBuffer is 100 lines long, write that StringBuffer to a uniquely named file (in.timestamp for instance), clear the StringBuffer and start again until you are out of tokens. Load all files with name like in.* into the DB.

All in under 10 minutes to write.

 

[posol]

but i still have to upload 231231232342 times.

and while one is uploading, im highlighting the next 1000 lines. lol

 

[lsvtec]

Use a shell script to upload. (I assume it is a command line thing)
Or you could get cozy with JDBC and make your java program load it directly into the DB.

JDBC r0ckz!

 

[preluderjs]

I dont know if I should feel stupid for being this lost or good for not being that nerdy.

 

[lsvtec]

Geeky thank you. Nerds follow comic books more than real events.

jdbc is great and all, but its not what our database runs on. its NOT an obdc datasource.
that, and its not local, its remote
