Plugins / Re: Hooks for moderation actions
« on June 7th, 2012, 08:59 PM »
Yeah, there's never been any need for such before. A few bits and pieces do, but nothing of any real note. I'll see what I can do.

Well, it was made a plugin and I was adding code to the plugin as I removed it from Wedge, but it has never been tested as such and is very likely very broken.

You have access to the repo, you could take a look ;)

Oh, yes, the calendar is removed and that's a plugin. Birthdays support on its own is a separate plugin but that the two play properly together and having both installed, you wouldn't realise it was actually two separate plugins ;)

I did say it was off the top of my head ;)

Note that our plugin system is a major departure from how SMF works. No SMF mod will work without being rewritten, since the plugin manager does not permit file edits of any kind.

The short synopsis off the top of my head though, in no particular order...

Added
Auto embedding
Gallery
Posting and PM drafts
Flexible skin support using LESS syntax, allowing for convenient support for gradients and other CSS3 images without worrying about browser-specific syntax
bbc/WYSIWYG editor available in the quick reply area
Thoughts system
Liked posts
Per-topic feeds
Bad Behaviour integrated by default
IPv6 support
Template macros such as <we:title> and <we:cat> instead of using standard markup, allowing for themes to set their own markup entirely for such things without mods having to be updated (cf. all the issues relating to RC2/3 and RC3/4 mod compatibility)
JavaScript files are minified by default and JS is managed so that JS files are all loaded late in the process and not in the head - meaning that things look like they move more smoothly
Merge double posts
User and action menus in posts
An automatic quote splitter - use the quote function to copy a large post, then use shift-enter to insert a break in the quote where the quote tag gets closed before the cursor, a new opening tag after the cursor so you can easily reply to large posts
Spoiler, footnotes, more bbc added
Gravatar support
Using a board as a blog
A revised plugin manager that relies on a stronger hook system, allowing for plugins to cleanly interact and install easily

Changed
Default theme - radically overhauled and not using large images etc.
Revamped admin home page, improved admin search
Completely rewritten CAPTCHA
Improved page navigation, and previous/next topic navigation
Revamped theme layers system to allow for strong but arbitrary nesting of containers
Some elements of code have been rewritten to OOP style
-- though a massive amount of stuff had to happen to make these changes!

Removed
Any language support that isn't UTF-8 only
PostgreSQL and SQLite support
Pre PHP 5.2 support
move, glow, shadow bbc removed
SMF's package manager

Oh, probably, and very likely I'll go back through it for 1.0 to compile a complete list.

The list would be truly enormous if it were to be compiled in a single place.

Now, if I get my ass over to America in that time... Nah, stalking's not in my nature.

Have fun over there!

So it should check the language and regenerate questions if the language is different?

Yeah, there's been that over the last few days but I thought it had all cleared up now.

Features / Re: Badges and the displaying thereof

Which effectively makes id_post_group the lowest priority one...
Works for me.

Also, as stupid as it may sound, I totally forgot to deal with textual group names... Means a further rewrite ahead for me... Ah, well.
I'd consider showing just the very first group's name, no point showing all the group names, but only the primary group's name - or post count group name if there isn't a primary group name, and nothing more than that.
Quote
It should have been showing instead an 'Admin' badge and then the lone star...
I'm stuck on this. Couldn't figure out a way to properly do it.
Got something I can see of the code?
Quote
I also added a 'userbox' type for LMD, will probably become 'display' or 'topic' later. It allows me to get rid of several entries that aren't used in Display.php and take some processing time, such as member_ip... (Well, member_ip is normally used, but I don't know if it's worth it, for instance...)
Of course, the final generated page isn't any faster than the earlier ones. NO KIDDIN'. Well, at least it doesn't seem slower either...
Certain things aren't about speed, especially as you still have to do the extra query to get board moderators to be able to add the board moderator badge into the mix yet.

That's the problem these days. I'll start a larger project under suggestion from others, and then I'm on my own to finish it... :(
My problem is, I just see so much stuff there is to do and I have no idea where to pitch in to do any of it :(

OK so I tried it here. First visit to the site, in English. First thing I did, I go to the French icon and switch to French. Site is now in French, as expected. Go to registration, boom, I get a French question, as expected.

Here's where it gets tricky, I then proceed to switch back to English, go back through registration, and now I'm still asked the question in French because it's stored in session. This is not unexpected, whether it's desirable is another matter.

How exactly did you try it out?

* Arantor suspects what needs to be done is to have it detect whether or not it is the same language as currently in use and if not, refresh and fetch new question informatin.

Oh, crap, so it's something we broke in passing.

Was it ever supposed to? I didn't think the AJAX return was supposed to provide an error message.

You must have a lot of traffic on your server?

That seems reasonable at the moment, there's a healthy amount of cache.
