It'll probably work but I doubt it'll work very well!

Did you call it weQuery in the end? Anyway, it's the doohickey you wrote ;)

Archived fixes / Re: Optimizing parse_bbc() and Aeva
« on May 30th, 2012, 04:46 PM »But lookups aren't only for titles. They also fetch information such as whether embedding is allowed (for YouTube). This is the kind of information I like having around.
I could always show it on hover... (although I don't think hover works on a Flash item...? Or maybe it works if I put the hover on the container div... Will try that.)
It's just as easy for Aeva, unless you want to support the extra features.
Well, in terms of features SAVE is limited to doing a preg_replace on the URLs. Of course it also probably makes it a bit faster than Aeva, but it also prevents it from things like disabling embedding after X embeds on a page.
Basically, it's limited. Not something I'd ever want to do!
I considered that, but (1) I don't have enough knowledge in the plugin system, (2) I could care less about these sites anyway...
One thing to note is that aeva_onposting would best be placed inside preparsecode(), but Post2.php doesn't always call it, as I mentioned in my thoughts.
Right now, my 'fix' was to call it as well from JSModify.php, because that's something that I forgot to import from Aeva 7's xml files -- believe it or not, I actually skipped that bit and this is the reason why quick edit never properly preparsed a video link...

*nods* Something needs to be done, guess I need to go read up about wesqlQuery and implementing it. Life is just 'complicated' right now :(

Hey, I thought it was nice to see feline... I mean, she and I *actually agreed* on something the other day! It's also nice to have discussions with people who are aware of all the consequences of changing some of the things I've speculated about, because in my case they were only speculative rather than attempted...
In Wedge's specific case, there is no WAP/WAP2/imode to deal with, so we only need to worry about the one codepath for users.

Well, with something like this, I'd look at the alternatives - namely the youtube bbc or similar. None of those show the title after the video, nor do any of them have a convenient link either.
I'm not bothered with the title (and does this mean you can avoid the lookup aspect?) but the link to the video would be useful to have.
:edit: Ninja'd.
I'd note that vbgamer's mod supports about 60 sites these days and he does add new ones reasonably easily. What would be ideal is if it becomes possible to provide new auto embed options easily (i.e. as a plugin) and if that's doable we can farm all the smaller ones out to plugins and then create plugins as needed.
Honestly, the extra weight of the url surroundings in the database is small enough not to worry about, and the performance benefit is worth the effort, IMHO.
Hmm, it's complicated.

Features / Re: Rewriting the skin file parser...
« on May 29th, 2012, 05:36 PM »
Putting aside the position of the replace keyword, just consider the remainder of the terms - index.replace.some,thing.css should replace index.some,thing.css but not index.thing,some.css.
While I can see the logic of arguing either way, I'd strongly be in favour of keeping it simple.

You're right, array(1, 2) != array(2, 1) but that's sort of the point.
I'd keep it simple: if you indicate replace, and there's a suffix after that, that's all that's replaced. Bear in mind that we'll have to explain this to other people!

@billy2: I would argue that that's acceptable within the bounds of implied consent.
@markham: The number of guests shown in Live's case is thoroughly misleading, I think. The problem is, it's thoroughly misleading in both directions, because it does actually fall back to Nao's suggestion of using IP addresses for tracking.
But without the session linking them together, if you make two requests, with a different IP address between them, that's now two guests, not one.

Well, I wasn't thinking of WordPerfect though it's certainly the age I'm thinking of. I'm actually thinking of a program that was popular back then called Scribble! and had a half-inch manual discussing all its formatting prowess!
Then I remember one of the first 'what you see is what you get' doohickeys on the Amiga, called Wordsworth. I find it telling that I can *still* navigate that today more easily than I can the current version of Word.
