Archived fixes / Re: it keeps giving me this error in Error Log

Well, it's true that we don't have your URL...

(And, really? Bumping a 3yo topic? Lol.)

  • $context['current_privacy'] needs to be an array, not a number. This caused topics to show a 'regular' privacy when editing them, even if their privacy is restricted. (Post.php, Security.php)

Apologies for missing out on this topic for so long... I posted in it at the beginning, then forgot about it, and it came at a time when I was putting Wedge behind me and moving on to my next venture (which, at the time, didn't involve Wedge... But ended up involving it, because that's who I am.)
The worst thing here, is that it was a very straightforward fix (just testing if $id_file is empty before calling the query), but I wanted to know WHY it happened in the first place. Now I have my answer because it happened at Wedge.org (uploading a link to an embedded video.)
Still, I hope there aren't more game-breaking bugs like this one... (?)

  • Found another occurrence of a Yahoo bot being rejected for not being of the allowed IP ranges, even though it was obviously a Yahoo IP range (probably set up after Bad Behavior last updated its ranges). Because of that, and BB's last version being from a year ago, I've decided to disable all tests against bots (Yahoo!, MSN, Google, even Baidu for some reason). Wedge's security is good enough to reject all bot attempts, it doesn't need an extra layer that may actually reject legit bots and thus hurt your rankings. (Security.php)

Bug reports / Re: Error id_file in Media Gallery
« on July 25th, 2017, 06:21 PM »
You're welcome...
To be specific, the problem was caused by Aeva Media's transparency lookup when someone was uploading an embedded video (e.g. YouTube, Dailymotion...) It hadn't happened in years here, so I had no way to know lol.

Also used the opportunity to fix the same bug in AeMe 2.x, and released 2.11 for AeMe users.
And yes, that includes the infamous installation bug fix... (Not that it'll help users who already had the bug. I told them how to fix it.)

  • array() to [] conversions in the one file that screams "I'm there to optimize sizes, so optimize me!!" (Subs-Cache.php)
  • Same for Ajax.php because I can, also fixed a thought conversion call that was taking more space than needed in the database. (Ajax.php)
  • Also shaved a few bytes off serialized strings with integers in them. (Subs.php)

  • Added proper hyphens support to Wess, now that, years later, support has grown a bit. (Class-CSS.php)
  • Dynamic functions shouldn't be cached across all CSS files... That can lead to some unexpected results. Not that it matters, really. (Class-CSS.php)

  • While I no longer use a proxy, I've established that the most useful IP data to be recorded is the one discovered through the proxy's special headers. If nothing was found (e.g. no proxy), that data will be the same as usual anyway... Way, way more useful for most tasks. (Class-System.php)

  • Removed my very own sticky positioning polyfill. Why? Chrome recently added proper support for 'position: fixed', and I figured it would mean 90% of users would no longer need a polyfill. Older browsers will simply do without it, it's not a deal breaker anyway. Rest in peace polyfill, I was proud of you. (topic.js)

  • Make sure search engines can't see context menus, even if some items remain for guests. This makes for uncomfortable pseudo-URLs that get parsed for no reason... Also, more array() to [] conversions. (Display.php)

  • Fixed error handling to use proper PHP logic for error constants, rather than the weird situation it was in in SMF... It was very old code, I reckon. Not finished with it though, I've got a better version live at Lestrades.com but I need to test it further. (Errors.php)

  • Added support for MySQL strict mode -- more specifically, the ability to disable it through a global variable. I wrote that for a previous server, and never bothered to commit it because I didn't need it anymore by the time I was committing everything. But still, can be useful to some... I know I wasted a few hours on that one..! (Class-DB.php)
  • Fixed {literal:...} code not allowing for flexible strings. (Class-DB.php)

  • Wrote a better, more self-explained version of invertAll() (kept the silly name though, for compatibility reasons), where it's made more explicit what the function does, *and* it now also ensures that events linked to those checkboxes are called as needed. (script.js)
  • Tweaked notification popup code to accomodate for any custom changes to the notification button HTML. I know it helped me. Also various additions and fixes that I won't bother listing. (script.js)
  • Reduced length of some select box strings. The idea is, you only need to escape the "<" sign... Everything else is fair game. As a result, the new stuff is more readable, and shorter of course. I always go for shorter. (script.js)

I'm sorry, this is the kind of thing that is really better done as tech support work. This isn't something I can do for free. (But the good news is, anyone with minimal knowledge can do it, so you don't have to pay me specifically for do it. Not that I'd complain, eh... I made $5 profit over 7 years of work on Wedge...)

I don't know what to say... My code only uses the default iframe embed system. Except it's the nocookie version, because I was asked by privacy activists to prefer that one over the regular one... Meh.

I tried embedding a video, and didn't get anything. Probably an issue with my computer refusing Flash content. I don't know. I don't really bother for now.

If you have any further questions and you're on Steam, you can add me (ID is naogilles) to chat. Maybe we can fix this quicker. Right now I'm busier on other things I'm afraid. It's note like Wedge's is a very busy community. :-/

Doesn't it depend on the video author's choices..? Afaik it's a setting. Per video.

Gosh was I out so long that a spam message remained here for 2 weeks and still no one reported it..?

Technically you can already do that, and there are several ways to do it in fact (mods, add-ons, other hacks..), but none of them are properly documented I'm afraid.

Heck, I myself simply edit the HTML in my templates... Because I suck :P
