The Pub / Re: Improvement to drafts (and posting, actually) I need to do
« on March 22nd, 2012, 07:04 PM »
Sounds good to me, though I'd not actually had any problems on iOS with my iPad, curiously enough. I'm starting to wonder if iPad 1 / iOS 5.0 does things a bit differently to everyone else :-/

Come on! you can't be that old now? :P
I'm 28. That's more than old enough to have a ~8 years of bank statements, credit card statements, payslips etc. that I don't need any more.

when i write an reply, it should automatic save it as a draft any 30 seconds.
Yes, it's a touch broken at present. But also note that when a draft is saved, it does actually notify you under the 'post' button that a draft has been saved, and even gives you the option to remove it from there.

I'll look at it later on tonight if I remember. Currently coughing up good on paper dust from shredding years and years worth of old documents <_<

Happening to me. Primarily (only?) on blog boards.

Commit it, deploy it, if it works, great, if not, we'll fix it :)

(Heck, yeah it's definitely so much more usable on a touch screen..!)
That's one of the single biggest reasons I implemented it, precisely because it is a pain to navigate even on an iPad, let alone an iPod/iPhone, across pages without it.

I'm sure I disabled it on the SMF version because, well, it sucked :P
Oh, and yes, prev/next topic sucked very badly. Not only was it unhelpful, I know users were confused by it because they thought it meant prev/next page.

Was in the demo, but here...? I'm not sure.
I was referring to the Pages: << prev [1] 2 >> bit ;)

Perhaps I disabled it in the SMF-based Wedge.org...?
Quite possibly.

The hell?

Still, there's a remove all button now...

Let me explain how it works under the hood, that might explain the behaviour you're seeing.

There is a timer started straight away, x second intervals (where the x is the admin setting, default 30). Nothing should happen, however, unless a keydown event is sent to the editor object, which sets a flag in the drafts object to indicate that next time the timer hits its interval, to make a save. The save is sent off, on return it clears that flag.

Theoretically, then, it should never be saving until there is something to save... with a variable amount of time between you typing and the first save (0-x seconds) but ~x seconds thereafter assuming constant typing.

PRIMARY KEY (`board_order`,`id_board`), UNIQUE KEY `id_board_2` (`id_board`)
You've done exactly what I was speculating about: created a composite key on the board_order + id_board with a unique key on just the id_board to preserve other optimisations :)

Thanks for posting, that gives me a lot more reassurance about doing it in Wedge now :)

There's not really much reason to feel stupid... if it's not working, it's not working for a reason. Half the battle here is understanding what that reason is.

If it's because you have a totally alien configuration that's a monstrosity under the hood, we might not be able to do too much about it, but if it's reproducible and causing problems, the bigger the problem (or at least, the bigger the impact it has and the more reproduced it is) the more we can figure out WTF is the problem and fix it.

Holy crap... Thank you, Microsoft........ -_-
My sentiments exactly. This is why I've always been wary of IETester and ilk.

A few days ago I was wondering why I wasn't using the gradient filter on the main menu for IE...
Speaking of which, in my Weglas theme, it's actually broken in IE9 where the gradient just doesn't work. The CSS generated is correct (so it's not a WeCSS bug) but IE9 chooses to ignore it. I have no idea why, and I can't be arsed debugging IE9's stupid behaviour.

Native IE8 on WinXP (in a VM) does the same as TE's screenshot. Yay for IE9 supporting 'IE8 rendering'.

There are other issues with merely doing that, namely that it screws up other optimisations in the pile because MySQL considers a composite key from left to right.

Meaning that the database DOES record the url tag in it. Which I find perfectly normal.
No, that's not normal. It's not supposed to do that. Take a look at SMF, it doesn't - it leaves the bare URL and processes it into url tags come parsing, not preparsing.
