New conversant features

Some more cool new Conversant features went online this week. The #insertQuery message lets you embed template rendered query results any in a site, and default query caching for Advanced Query Pages speeds things up quite a bit.

Seth’s done some cool architechtural work in the searching and indexing area, which has improved performance of search-based pages significantly, also. The topic pages linked at the top of the page ( Music, Family, etc. ) are all Advanced Query Pages.

    Oh man, is that all I’ve done lately? Sure seems like I’ve been working
    very hard to have only sped up the query pages.

    Sigh.

    I see that spaces-inside-parentheses has crept into your writing, too.
    It’s weird that a coding style would affect our prose. :-)

    I didn’t feel like trying to explain message conditionals. ;-)

    Actually, I used to get in trouble for that from style oriented professors in college, too…and I had never written any code then ( except Apple II Basic — which didn’t have parens ). It just looks more readable that way to me.

    g.

    Yeah, that’s why I had to write all the docs!

    That’s exactly why I code with that style.
