I checked and ns_cache names *pattern* command format is only available in ns_cache from AOLserver CVS HEAD. The latest release of ns_cache is from 2003 (version 1.5). OpenACS.org has the released version of all modules, none from CVS.

The following patch fixed the problem:

Hi Dave,

see as well: http://www.openacs.org/forums/message-view?message_id=471867

the names pattern was added to nscache three years ago.
http://aolserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/aolserver/nscache/

OpenACS.org has the released version of all modules

if there are some old versions, they should be updated. The aolserver documentation of ns_cache describes only the current version. The aolserver installation guide points to cvs http://www.openacs.org/xowiki/en/aolserver-install as well.

Have you upgraded in the installation of ns_cache on oacs.org? More usages of this will follow in the xowiki/xotcl-core packages

Gustaf,

OpenACS.org is using the latest released version of ns_cache. That is also 3 years old, obviously slightly older than the *pattern* argument to ns_cache names. I checked CVS and the pattern argument is only on HEAD it was never included in any releae of ns_cache.

If OpenACS is to rely on that feature a new release of ns_cache should be done. I always download the modules tar.gz from the download page. I never check out any AOLserver code from CVS.

I don't think it makes sense to require someone to get unreleased code. I am not sure who is responsible for ns_cache, it appears noone has taken that responsibility since 2003 and the 1.5 release.

One more thing: in order to subscribe to notifications, the image appears to be necessary. i have commited it just now to cvs. please update, otherwise people will wonder, how notifications work... i will provide an "alt" text for the next release.

The missing image is /resources/xowiki/email.png

final comments (hopefully): if you are on it, please update
  • packages/acs-templating/www/resources/mktree.js (to make the category box of xowiki to appear nice with opera) and
  • packages/search/www/search.tcl (for search in a local xowiki instance)
both from oacs-5-2. The improved mktree.js is already in HEAD, the stuff of search is tiny backport from HEAD.
