Haha, thanks, it is nice to have written proof that I am friendly:) It can definitely become handy one day.

Cheers,

Niels

P.S. Yes, those days, where you had to read for hours on Doxygen just to write one simple line. The struggle and the hot coco on those dark, Northern winter days with the fallen leaves as the only company to cheer you up.

"Doxygen? Ha. You had it so easy! We used Tarot-cards to find out which classes to use! And 'pushing code to the server' meant pushing a cart with stone tablets to the server room .... uphill. And if it didn't run you had to push it back to your desk ... which was uphill too. These were hard times. But good times. Every cell had a name and it greeted you ... nowadays cells have no manner and they all look the same ...."

I must admit: there is no doubt of the fact that you are a lot older than I.

Mmm... Now I understand why Russians didn't bother investing on computers and instead developed heavy-duty mathematics, using human brain power.
Besides, paper and pencil/pen can be a lot lighter than having to push carts with stone-based punching cards :)

Although, I'm guessing that chiselling the holes into the stone tablets would be a good way to relieve the stress :D

Greetings to all!

Information about the OpenFOAM et al version templates is finally on the FAQ, in the Wiki chapter: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FAQ/Wiki

• Start reading here: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/FA...n_templates.3F

I've also updated the "OF Version Gimp Kit", by adding a template for the new foam-extend 3.0, which is currently (slowly) rolling out.
Wondering what it looks like? Have a look at this page: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...oam-extend-3.0

I did it like that, because at least a temporary image was necessary.

I had a couple more ideas and they are present in the toolkit as well. Attached were the ideas I had in mind, where the first one is the one presently on the openfoamwiki.net. I really like the second one, but I thought that it was... too italic :D


By the way, does anyone know if it's OK to call it "FOAM-Extend" instead of "foam-extend"? http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ca...nd_Version_3.0

Best regards,
Bruno

Nice. I vote for FOAM-extend or foam-extend, because it is the name:)

Cheers, Niels

Good morning,

I have problems connecting to the wiki, however, the problems must have occurred within the last 30 minutes, since I visited earlier this morning.

Kind regards,

Niels

P.S. I like the new layout :)

I tweeted about this http://twitter.com/ofwiki/status/527765736056684544

I'm working on the problem. Seems like the onboard NIC of the server forgot its MAC-address and everything is going downhill from there

Thanks about the layout

I'll post here and tweet once the problem is solved

OK. Wiki back to normal. Problem was a network-card that forgot its MAC and a buch of configuration-rewriting scripts in RHEL/CentOS5. When the revolution comes the guy in charge of these scripts will be stood against the wall and pelted with cotton-wool balls until he cries for mercy (it's going to be a very humane revolution). The guy who wrote the etckeeper-script (without this it would have been even harder to reconstruct the configuration) will be promoted

Hi all,

just a question (I dont figure out an answer).
If you create a nice PDF book (great thing) I have problems with <cpp> code blocks. If I use <pre> everything is okay. Could this be solved?

That (PDF) works? I thought I turned that of because it gave weird results (I got PDFs for different pages thsn the one I was one). It may be possible that the extension that does the Syntax-highlightning does not play together with the PDF-extension. <pre> is "standard" and therefor not affected.

I'll have a look but I can't promise anything

Yes it worked for my generated pages and I was wondering that it is working so nice. Unfortunatelly I dont know how I could created it. Once I saw "Create Book/PDF" or something like that I just checked it out. But now I did not figure it out again :D

Hi Bernhard,

with my other computer it is possible again to create a PDF.
Here is what I get: http://holzmann-cfd.de/cfd-online/OpenFOAM.pdf

Kind regards
Tobi

Good to know that it works for others. For me if I want to get a printable version of a page I am beamed to the PyFoam-page. Guess the Wiki knows too much about me (I suspect a corrupt cookie or something like this)

Hello Bernhard,

your page is (in my opinion) also good.
You have the same problems like I have with <cpp> - in your case <phyton> and of course the first lines of the OpenFOAM compatibility is very bad. But if I go through the file its okay. Only the problem with that <python> -> should also changed to <pre> (:

Here you get it: www.holzmann-cfd.de/cfd-online/Contrib_PyFoam.pdf

Thanks. My problem is that this is the ONLY PDF I get.

Anyway. As far as I can tell the problem with <python>/<cpp> is that the PDF-renderer doesn't know them. They were introduced by an extension. <pre> is standard and therefor the renderer can handle it. So the tradeoff is "syntax-highlighed on the Web and ugly PDF" vs "boring code on the Web and OK PDF". In doubt I'd stay with the first but everyone can do for the content he supplies the way he wants to

Greetings to all!

@Bernhard: Either I need to restart my router/modem, or there was an internet backbone that broke... or the server where openfoamwiki.net is installed, is in need of attention, because I'm not able to access it at this moment :(

It was a bit sluggish today, but now it seems to have simply given up to work...

Best regards,
Bruno

Server was overloaded for some reason. Has been rebooted remotely (with the help of a colleague). Hope that fixes it ... for this year

I'm seeing again a need to have a static mirror of the wiki...
After some light researching, it would seem that WP-Mirror could help - http://www.nongnu.org/wp-mirror/ - but it does a fully fledged working wiki... which may or may not be a good idea.

Beyond that, the new template seems to be relying on PHP delivered scripts, which might be overloading things, since it increases the PHP requests by two or three times (if not more) per page. But I don't have a copy of the old site, so it's only an estimated guess.
