After the race Friday night, please refrain from changing anything on the CFM. I'm going to be doing a backup that night and lots of changes from Saturday until Tuesday. If you try to upload/ something during that time, it'll probably end up deleted. The main objective is to fix the cfm, but if it's the pain that I'm thinking it will be, then I'm going to be moving the CFM to my own servers.

Look here for more info on Monday night.

I need a few people, today, to test the changes I made the the zip file stuff. The Full (ie Beginning) zip file still does not work, but I'm going to work on that later as it's just a link. I just need to make sure that the 7 Day and daily feature is working. I've tested it myself, but that doesn't mean that it's foolproof.

If you do use it today, please post here that you did and your results. Make sure that the carfiles do work please. That's a big part of it. And Verify that you delete after you're done. I haven't finished the auto delete cron job yet.

Ok I tired it out and the 7day one worked just fine,but when I tried the select date one I got "Error 404 - Not Found" that when I clicked the link to download the zip file.

What date did you put in?

I don't remember,but it was one on the download page.

I tried it today and downloaded everything from 2/15 on forward with no problems. However, I just realized I don't have anything posted between 2/8 and 2/14

I used all the dates 2/1-2/13 and got this error.



I used 2/14/2010 on and it was fine.


Last seven days was fine also.

Yea that's something I'm kinda stuck with at the moment. Until I finish the rest of the system, it will be that way. The memory issue is due to it being on a shared host. The host has the option to prevent too much memory from being allocated and with the size of these carfiles, it's just the way it is. In two-three weeks, it probably won't be an issue because people trying to go back two weeks won't have many files to get. The problem is with everyone uploading cars right now. 5-8 cars works, more than that and it'll pop the error.

Would it be possible to set up a date range, like so I can grab 2/8 through 2/13 without having to manually grab them one at a time? Just curious. I don't know how helpful that will be to anyone else, or how big of a PITA that will be to program.

You know what, that wouldn't be too bad of an idea. Instead of a selected date, It could do a selected range. If there are too many files in the zip it could tell you the range has too many files.Otherwise it would make the zip file for you.

It's not hard to program. The problem lies with the amount of memory that I have access to on the server. Having a limit on the maximum amount of memory I can use, prevents big files. The selected date range would work perfectly in about two weeks along with the from date. It's just right now, with everyone trying to get all their cars painted up, there are too many cars in the line. When we get down to 2 or 3 cars a week, it'll work better.
