viHistory

I've now fixed the streetcar map problem, by changing all filenames and references so that they're consistently referring to 1939 instead of 1936. The fixes have been committed to trunk, and put up on the website.

The other two issues remain outstanding; PD will get back to me with the correct firemap URL at Malaspina, and we'll wait until the DNS has been changed before addressing the problem with Firefox and captcha, since it seems to be cookie-related.

PD has checked the new VIH site on taprlans/www, and reports only these issues:

• Captcha reports errors for him on FF. I can't reproduce this -- it works fine for me -- so waiting for more details.
• There's a link on the maps.php page pointing to the "1936 streetcar map" which fails, defaulting to the panorama, because it should point to 1939. The confusion arises thus:

  The map itself has the date "1939" on it.
  
  The .map file (the basic definition file) is called
  "vicstreetcar1939.map".
  
  However. it contains pointers to images called:
  
  victoria-streetcar-1936.png
  victoria-streetcar-1936-key.png
  
  and this page:
  http://hcmc.uvic.ca/~taprhist/content/maps/maps.php
  
  has 1936 in its caption. However. if you go to the map viewer,
  click on the Maps menu and drill down to it. you see the caption "1939
  - Streetcar routes".
  
  I think that:
  	- The actual date is 1939.
  	- The images are wrongly named, as are the pointers to them in
  the .map file.
  	- The caption on the maps.php page is wrong. whereas the Maps 
  menu in the map viewer is right.
  

  Waiting for PD to confirm my analysis before changing the image file names, the .map file, and the caption/link on maps.php.
• PD reports this:

  The link on the page describing the 1885 Fire Insurance Plans of Victoria 
  needs to be changed. The page in question is located at:
  
  http://hcmc.uvic.ca/~taprhist/content/maps/firemap.php
  
  The hyperlink should be redirected to:
  
  http://www.mediastudies.viu.ca/steeple/index.htm
  
  [The link currently points to an obsolete server - 
  http://cdi.mala.bc.ca/firemaps/
  

  However, the new URL is about 1891 panorama images; it has nothing about the 1985 Fire Insurance Plans. Waiting for the correct URL from PD.
