:::Perhaps - let me look at the documentation. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 20:57, 22 May 2007 (PDT)
::So the sector portals off the main page will be limited to 50 also? I think this illustrates why companies go for names like "AAAA Plumbing Services". Everyone at the low end of the alphabet will be out of luck.--[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 08:04, 23 May 2007 (PDT)
:::Yes, gross listings are limited to 50. But there's nothing stopping anyone from creating ad hoc master index pages linked to separate report pages that run queries based on specific input criteria such as alpha AAA-CCC, DDD-FFF, etc.
:::You should experiment with [[Centiare|ASK]] to see if it can assess tagged page titles; I know it can assess number ranges such as population. If it has trouble with internal strings, we can always create new alpha tags such as <nowiki>[[Attribute:Name Range A]]</nowiki>, etc. to filter queries. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 08:40, 23 May 2007 (PDT)
::::I understand that limits on ASK queries are necessary to protect the database. However, at this stage, we have no evidence that ANYONE is using Centiare to off-load lists or content. Personally, I think until we see such activity taking place, we would be "showing off" more of our content by upping that limit to something more likely to cover our editors' needs and interests -- maybe N=500, rather than N=50? --[[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 09:15, 23 May 2007 (PDT)
:::I was reading through the [[Help:Inline queries|ASK]] documentation and there's supposed to be an option where add'l records that exceed the max limit can be displayed via an embedded link:
::::''If not all results of a query have been displayed due to a restricted limit, there will often be a link to "further results" that is displayed below the query. The text of this link can be modified by setting the parameter searchlabel.''
:::Problem is, I couldn't get it to work. This would solve the issue and provide a nice navigational component. Let me look into it; if I can't get it to work, I'll increase the default display limit. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 09:25, 23 May 2007 (PDT)
==I'm speechless==
Take a look [http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=every+html+color+code&btnG=Google+Search]
:Hey, not bad. You should tell Greg and perhaps update the [[Centiare:SEO#An_amazing_example|testimonials]] page. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 13:32, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
==Customising the "table of contents" position==
Thank you for your kind welcome on our talk page [[User_talk:Amber_House_Limited|Amber_House_Limited]].
We have tried (and failed) to re-position the table of contents on our directory page [[Directory:Amber_House_Bed_and_Breakfast_Guest_House]] by using the <nowiki>{{TOCleft}}</nowiki> we are familiar with from Wikipedia.
How is a customised position for the ToC achieved here?
Also, how do we disable just the
# Topographic map from TopoZone
# Aerial image or topographic map from TerraServer-USA
since New Zealand is a long way outwith the coverage areas of those American-centric maps? [[User:Amber House Limited|Amber House Limited]] 07:19, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
:Hi there - glad to have you on board. I set up to the various TOC templates, so let me know if your listing is rendering the way you like. I also commented out the geo codes to eliminate the reference points that were interfering with your image.
:Btw, we have the new [[Centiare:Extensions|Google map extension]] enabled + we allow java/flash scripts in case you want to [[Centiare:Extensions/Google Gadgets|embed a map widget/gadget]].
:We've also got all sorts of SEO tools enabled at Centiare that should really help boost your rankings. Chief amongst these are the various [[Special:Attributes|semantic tags]] that not only help organize internal data, but also provide invaluable machine tags that Google seems to prefer.
:There's a bunch of experienced wikipedians hanging out here how have figured out some interesting tricks, so feel free to drop a general comment/question either at the [[Centiare:Water Cooler|Water Cooler]] or respective talk pages. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 07:48, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
::Thank you for fixing the <nowiki>{{TOCleft}}</nowiki> template.
::However, '''ALL''' the geo information has now disappeared from the [[Directory:Amber_House_Bed_and_Breakfast_Guest_House]] altogether! The co-ordinates are no longer listed top left and neither do we have the google maps or WikiMapia choices. Looks like the baby has gone with the bath water. If it's not possible to disable just the
::# Topographic map from TopoZone
::# Aerial image or topographic map from TerraServer-USA
::then we'll just have to put up with them.
::Could you also look to see why the image Nelson.png map is not displaying properly in the [[Nelson, New Zealand]] infobox? [[User:Amber House Limited|Amber House Limited]] 08:22, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
:::The geo-code links are generated from [[Template:Mapit-US-cityscale]] - I guess we could edit it to remove various links. Perhaps it might be better to embed your own [[Centiare:Extensions/Google Maps|map/widget/gadget]].
:::Sometimes PNG images that have been heavily modified do not render properly. I uploaded the older version of Image:Nelson, NZ.PNG and it seems to be ok (not as clear as the new one at WP, but better than before here). [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 08:51, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
==Bug?==
JA: Look at what happens when you go to [http://www.centiare.com/Special:PageProperty/Directory:Jon_Awbrey::Contributor_To this page] and click the "next" button. [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 19:47, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
:Interesting - it looks like it's not passing the namespace prefix. Can you provide me the steps to how you got to this particular schedule? It's probably a basic configuration error or it might actually be a bug. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 21:46, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
JA: I think I got there like this:
# Went to http://www.centiare.com/Directory:Jon_Awbrey
# Clicked on the "Contributor To" relation in the RDF block to get http://www.centiare.com/Relation:Contributor_To
# The default display of correlates to my directory cut-off at 50, so I went down to the section headed "Pages using the relation “Contributor To”" and clicked on the ellipsis at the end of my directory's entry. This gave me the page http://www.centiare.com/Special:PageProperty/Directory:Jon_Awbrey::Contributor_To
# That page listed the first 20 correlates, so I clicked on the "next" button to get http://www.centiare.com/index.php?title=Special:PageProperty&offset=20&limit=20&type=Contributor+To&from=Jon+Awbrey

==Lawyer central ask queries==
Do you know why the division ask queries on my [[Directory:Lawyer Central|lawyer central]] page stopped working? I have a new client and vacation but the bots are on the way. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]] 17:38, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
:ASK now lets you perform carryover queries to get add'l results. In order to make it work, however, you need to hardcode page references instead of using <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki> as the filter. Even though it looks like you didn't need a carryover, for some reason it still required a hardcoded page reference to work on the primary listings. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 18:08, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
::Thanks! [[User:Garrett|Garrett]] 18:16, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
==Centiare Server==
Was wondering if it was just me experiencing extremely long page loads and Centiare server response time. Are you having any problems on your end? --[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 12:20, 19 June 2007 (PDT)
JA: Ditto. [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 12:44, 19 June 2007 (PDT)
I emailed him about it
'There's been some technical issues with the server. My web host is still looking into resolving the problem.'
It'll probably be resolved soon. My load times are still high but manageable again. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]] 18:57, 19 June 2007 (PDT)
==Caching problem==
Both my web emails crapped out for some reason when trying to send you a folloe up email. Anyways it still says API error. But to check the cached version you simply type in cache:URL of the page in to a google search. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]] 20:03, 23 June 2007 (PDT)
Could you upgrade the servers or rent more space or whatever else it takes to get the site back to where it was before you uploaded all those pages. Centiare has been running like old people screw for more than a month now. 20 to 40 second page loads with cable internet just isn't cool. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]] 08:18, 19 July 2007 (PDT)
