Read about the folklist script before reading the rest of this. +
This does some basic validation: it checks that the mugshot +images and blurb HTML files exist. + +
The folk.csv file could be split:
+
+folk-1.csv will be for old cavers who will not come again, so this file need never be touched.
+
+folk-2.csv will be for recent cavers and the current expo, this needs editing every year
+
+
+The year headings of folk-1 and folk-2 need to be accurate , but they do not need to be +the same columns. So folk-2 can start in a much later year. + +
+folk-0 will be for awkward buggers whose attendance spans decades. This needs updating whenever +one of these lags attends: +AERW, Becka, Mark Dougherty, Philip Sargent, Chris Densham, Mike Richardson + +
+Currently (July 2023) the software ignores folk-0, -1, -2 and we have used the old folk.csv for +the 2023 expo. But we hope to have this fixed next year... + +
+ This still needs fixing [Feb.2024] +
+Troggle reads the mugshot and blurb about each person.
+It reads it direct from folk.csv which has fields of URL links to those files.
+It does this when troggle is run with
+python databaseReset.py people
+
+Troggle generates its own blurb about each person, including past expeditions and trips +taken from the logbooks (and from parsing svx files) +A link to this troggle page has been added to folk/index.htm +by making it happen in make-folklist.py +
+Troggle scans the blurb and looks for everything between <body> and <hr> +to find the text of the blurb +(see parsers/people.py) +
+ [This now seems to have have been fixed (July 2023):
