Until recently, for complex editing I relied on an HTML editor which after sending new content regenerated the whole verses and information for a poem. This would result in loss of data which was somehow tolerable in my opinion. After recent changes in poems structures (adding sections), using this editor would result in loss of…

People can suggest corrections for poems and a moderator (currently me, myself) reviews these corrections and approved or rejects them. Applying these corrections relies on regenerating poem data which potentially is not safe. I now have created some complex structures in order to support poem blocks, and regenerating poem data might result in loosing some…

I have recently (around two months ago) moved ganjoor.net to a new server and used FileZilla Server to transfer files (I don’t recall on the source or destination machine) and recently found out that some of mp3 file (poem recitations) on the new server are corrupted.

This is the Ganjoor Development Blog maintained by me. Its main purpose is to keep a minimal technical documentation log for things I (or may be later we) do to improve ganjoor. My native language is Persian and even though it might be more reasonable to have this blog written in Persian I prefer to…
