ExoticA and HOL

BuZz · 17 March 2006, 22:50

Hi,

I've now activated the hol link within UnExoticA
(http://www.exotica.org.uk/tunes/unexotica/)

Now we just need to get the linking in the other direction.

I generated this file rck: edited for script privacy
It's not actually html but plain text in the format

holid,URL

I hope this is ok for you to use. Let me know if it would be easier in another text format. You might want to split off the first part of the url, and use a random switch between http://www.exotica.org.uk and http://se.exotica.org.uk to distribute any traffic over both sites.

Cheers! :-)

Hi Buzz,

This is perfect !
One sugestion, could you remove the static first part of your URL ?

Was: http://www.exotica.org.uk/tunes/unex...ames/Qwak.html
Will be: Qwak.html

This way, I could generate both links to distribute the traffic, and the export file will be smaller

Cheers ! ^_^

As a little compromise can i leave the games/ bit on.
Just that the perl function which generates the html link puts that in and im very lazy you know (Yes. even too lazy to add s/^games\/// :-) ).. Also, it's probably better to take the root of unexotica only off which ends at unexotica/ (The unexotica system also handles a demo area which is not yet launched (demo/)

This file will be generated automatically daily. (Well, it will be when I get around to putting unexotica back on a cron job).

Going off topic slightly:

Another Item to add to http://www.exotica.org.uk/players/index.html (if you don't already know about this plugin)

I just found this http://www.pieknyman.tk/ for XMPlay

Thanks for the info. I won't be updating that old page though as we are working on the new site. However, it should be added on the new site.

You are welcome to add a page about xmplay and the delix plugin :-)
