It has been several days since I advertised my solution of Promotions added to
Proof of Brain.Blog.
On commit bc774c6110e65f04c4f378cd504d3a61fe669d6d on the last day of November, I removed header based language detection. I thought I had fixed it earlier, but it was still buggy. From time to time elements were being displayed in Ukrainian in my browser. Sometimes previews would happen in Chinese.
I tried to chase down the problem. I never caught the header values changing in the program. So it probably isn't that. I thought maybe some elements were being stored in some cache between the machine the server runs and mine. I don't see how caching can be the cause when it is over SSL.
I realized it was taking too much of my time. Given that there are other features which are more important for the users they want, I had to give up this feature in order to have something that works well for the majority of the users who post in English most of the time anyway.
That's a mouthful. Instead of a graphical component accessing the configuration constants directly, I made many components have properties shadow some of these constants. This makes testing possible when the software is deployed to multiple domains.
When I first started on Bluebrain, I started following the README file . I found it had many omissions. Now that someone has stepped forward to work on the software. I found it now had some omissions. The Makefile needed fixing as well. This is so developers can convert the code written into software that can be run, by typing in a single four letter word. I won't use it here.
There are other features in the change log which are not yet live. Once a feature works well enough, I will put it on the site.
