2015-03-19 07:35:09 -0500 asked a question Search results only showing old hits

I am having some difficulties with the search functionality.

Every time I search for something, I only receive results of questions and answers that are pretty old. I cannot pinpoint exactly how old, but a question that is 1 week old isn't showing in the results, even if it has the exact search term in it.

I have had one PostgreSQL issue with my hosting provider, in the sense that the _seq database items had wrong permissions and were not writable by Askbot for some days a while back. I cannot say if the results that are showing occurred before that issue or after it. It happens during a migration from PostgreSQL 9 to a PostgreSQL 8 database.

Is there some periodic task that need to be run for the organic search (not solr or haystack) to index the information? Is there a way to rebuild or debug it?

I am using Askbot 0.7.50 with PostgreSQL 8.4.20.

Is there a way to tweet every new question asked automatically? So twitter followers of a particular account can see the links to the questions on their twitter feeds?

If not, what would be the best way to have it implemented?

2015-03-17 07:14:37 -0500 asked a question Identi.ca share link going 404

Seems like my site is not the only one, http://askbot.org is also showing this behaviour.

When clicking the identi.ca sahre button on any question, it is leading to a 404 "No such note: new" error on the popup window.

Is this a configuration issue, or an API/link change that needs to be considered?

2015-02-10 05:38:13 -0500 asked a question How do I get files and images to be uploaded to S3?

I have forked askbot-devel and adapted the lateast release (0.7.51) to run from heroku. Everything seems fine, with one exception: Heroku does not persist uploaded files, so even avatars or the new license symbol are lost after each application restart.

I suspect it is possible to have uploaded files sent to AWS (Amazon Web Services) S3 storage service. Changelog refereces that, Django documentation explains how to do it, but I can't find any reference in the code or documentation.

How can that be implemented? Will just following Django docs work?
