Blogs RHS quick-menu not updating

Neil_A — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:46:34 GMT

Colin - as discussed yesterday the latest blog entries are not getting added to the tabbed right hand side quick menu on the home page. Looks like the script that runs every 10 mins might be bust.

As some of the tabs are, I wonder if it is the case that the articles don't have the correct tags. It does seem to be picking up the EOD articles and the forums tab picked up this topic.
All the items that do appear are tagged Tech News. The other articles currently on the front page are tagged General only.

Bob published the articles dated Nov 12th. As this is before the most recent 5 articles, it won't appear on the right hand side. I'll explain when I see you in person, Neil.
Jelv: Looks like it's updating correctly to me?

Jelv,
That's probably because Bob's latest two blog posts have been there for ages, but in a private state as they were being written. So essentially, they were there a while back, but weren't actually published.

Why does "Win a trip to New York City!" or "PlusNet in the Pink" not appear on the RHS?

Because of the tags that they have been set with.

Which is what I said in my first post in this topic!

So it's not a bug... the list is doing exactly what it is meant to:
Tech news is things in the 'Tech News' Category,
Forums are the forums,
Blogs is things from the other blogs *NOT* the front page,
EOD is things in the 'EOD' Category.
The issue Neil reported is something different and also not a bug

As we all agree it's doing what it should be doing, this topic should be moved to either the resolved bugs or the Community Site Suggestions - it certainly doesn't belong in here!
(The only fault appears to be Neil's understanding of the criteria!)

Nah, Neil's understanding was correct and based on what I'd explained in the office. It's all Bob's fault

This is resolved and should now be moved to the resolved forum./
