That problem is now solved, at the expense of breaking any existing links

Some examples:

http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf = most recent available single-day status
http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/20150913/0/1/0 = single-day status of a particular date (13-Sep-2015)
http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/2/1/0 = compare most recent data to data of 2 days before
http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/20150913/2/1/0 = compare specific date (13-Sep-2015) to data of 2 days prior
http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/20150916/20150913/1/0 = compare specific date (16-Sep-2015) to data of another specific date (13-Sep-2015)

Thanks James. I've updated the links on GPU72.

However, there's something not quite right with your GUI... For example, if you go to http://www.mersenne.ca/status/tf/0/7/3/4000 things are as expected. But if you then change the "Days Prior" field and Submit, things are not as expected.

It seems to be working for me.

It's possible your browser is caching the .js file -- do a Ctrl-F5 to force-refresh the linked javascript file and I think it should fix your problem?

Thanks....

Another forced refresh will bring some changes that fixes some issues with the days-back part of the GUI.

Did I ever mention how much I hate working with Date objects in Javascript?
And then just when you think you got it working you try a different browser and it does something totally different.

FWIW, whenever I update a JS or CSS or something like that, I bump a query parameter on it which will usually cache bust it.

Like /blah.js?v=20150917.1

Of course how cacheable it is depends on the server and it's expiration time on objects in the first place, but oh well.

Yes... This is a common "trick" used with AJAX fetches et al.

I usually do as well, I was lazy. I have added that now.

Brilliant James! It is working perfect for me, and it seems the old links are redirected too (i.e. it won't let me with some "error 404" or so). Few more clicks and I am in the range and date I want. Perfect. Thanks a million. That is what I call "technical support in real time". You and Scott rock at it!

Something doesn't feel right in the propagation of the date specific qualification.
The algorithm seems too quick to introduce an absolute date.
I maintain tabs that I would refresh on new days.
In recent days, I tend to find that they have become date specific rather than "today".
Thus when refreshed they present unchanged information.

P.S. What would be the proper place for future discussion about mersenne.ca. facilities?
Chris might become annoyed by the continued use of this thread for matters quite unrelated to his GPU72 project.
Whilst there was a historic connection, that has been broken.

LaurV · 2015-09-20, 07:13

The non-date-specific links still work for me, you can bookmark them and click the bookmark instead of clicking refresh tab - tht is also a single mouse click.

Edit: I don't think Chris is upset about this discussion at all, it is connected to GPu72 and Gimps Visu anyhow. And because you reminded me, one thing which should be extremely useful to be saved from the old side, for "historical" reasons, is the collection of the movies with moving candle bars... Few of the movies I really love, I was part of them, and it should be a pity to be lost... Of course, an update of some of them would not hurt either, a lot o' progress was done since that time and a lot of other people contributed to it much more than myself, but I know that updating them is a freaking time consuming activity (I mean not only to put the data together, but rendering and compressing the movie too)
