SynchronizingWebVersionWithCmapVersion

Post by fridemar »

From the following screenshot from the cmappers.net you can see that the actual thumbnail representation (which shows an addendum, right to the main node) is not given in the updated Html window to the right.

However if one clicks the edit button on cmappers.net, we get the actualized version.
I noticed the same discrepancy after saving, when trying to list the html representation from the Cmap Tools client.

A third way to see the bug is by comparing

* http://cmaps.cmappers.net/rid=1G5GVX0S8 ... ative.cmap

with

* cmap://cmaps.cmappers.net/rid=1G5GVX0S8-D2ZTPZ-LR5/CmappersCommunityInitiative.cmap

Via Googling http://google.com/search?q=WhatCanWeDoForEachOther I found (both the incorrectly updated and) a correct Html representation

This is another argument for using human readable paths to identify the UFOs.
It also shows how Google can help as a workaround for similar problems.

@fridemar:

We are aware of this synchronization issue between the thumbnail displayed on www.cmappers.net and the latest version of the concept map.

The current implementation of www.cmappers.net uses a index server that "feeds" a thumbnail server every "x" time depending of the configuration of the CmapServer where the concept map resides. The default value of "x" is 10 minutes. It also explains why a new concept map it is not "available" inmediately for searches performed at www.cmappers.net
