! Stupid typo in member preferences saving; didn't actually affect behaviour though. (ManageMemberOptions.php)

! Certain member preferences should be disabled depending on admin options. (ManageMemberOptions.php)

! New menu item present if the user specifies a 'home page'. Needs an icon though. (Subs.php, ManageSettings.php, index+ManageSettings language files)

:whistle:

Needs an icon for the new 'home' tab because all I've done is created a new extra tab rather than messed with the current home tab, as it were. I'm thinking some kind of 'up' or 'diagonally up/left' arrow to indicate up to the main site?

Like a bunch of stuff in SMF/Wedge, yes. I'll dig into it at some point, have other stuff I need+want to do first though.

! The save-member-preferences code seems to be complete and working. Not yet pruned the old settings area, just in case. But I know I'm going to end up pruning more code that I've created... resetting theme options' original code is so overcomplicated. (ManageMemberOptions.php, ManageMembers.template.php, ManageSettings language file)

Ah, I see. There are other considerations at work for doing this, that go far beyond what this page has to say, but it's possible to do, I guess.

Hence my comment about rewording it from 'Leave the thing alone' to 'Keep it as it is'

This is why I got an iPod, to be able to try using things in that form factor. It's... interesting.

I don't see it as sad, really, I see it as different devices to suit different users' needs. Though I won't argue that netbook resolutions are ridiculously tiny, ultrabooks tend not to be so tiny (their focus is on performance for size and they tend to come with at least 1024x768), and tablets are increasingly a viable tool.

I can fully see myself sat on the sofa with an iPad, doing admin (wouldn't be the first time) because I can't be arsed to go sit at the computer.

Hmm, I need to investigate that deeper, unless there's some setting I managed to spirit away somehow.

Off-topic / Re: How ported from SMF+Aeva+TP?

AeMe stuff will be imported. Not for now though, iirc.
I don't think it does either but it does depend a lot on how we migrate attachments to AeMe.

No plans to import TP data.
There's no reason preventing portal mods themselves from doing it. In any case, it does depend a lot on what's in TinyPortal worth porting. The gallery feature could be migrated to AeMe, but that's about it for now, there's nowhere to migrate pages to nor is there any way on Earth we can make sidebar stuff work.

Bloc is no longer involved with SMF or Wedgre btw.
He hangs around smCore.

OK, fun fact, I use 1280x1024. I try and shoot for usable if not beautiful on 1024x768.

Maybe its just me and the way my mind works, but removing the 'DON'T's would make the options quickly understandable, instead of trying to figure out double negatives.
There is no 'don't'.

The first dropdown expands to provide the choices, with indication of current value as well. So for guests/new members on something like 'show board descriptions inside boards', the first dropdown is "yes" / "no (no change)" to indicate that it is that value already. The same principle works with items that are already multiple choice anyway.

The second dropdown has 3 options to the first's 2 options.

For the yes/no type deals, it has 'Leave the members' choice alone' (which is analogue to 'don't change' without using a negative, though I probably should reword it to 'Keep...' rather than 'Leave ... alone') followed by 'Set to yes for everyone' / 'Set to no for everyone'

Otherwise I had only one thought (already poo pood) - using radio buttons in columns.
I have nothing against columns of radio buttons where it's appropriate, but I'm not convinced it's appropriate - since you'd need 5 radio buttons to cope with the base choices just for a single checkbox, there's a LOT of checkboxes.

I don't know of any mods that aren't in use at Wedge.org, not exactly the area of SMF I played with the most...
Ah, I had the dubious fortune to get to know a lot of the mods there on *some* level. http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1586 is what you're looking for.

I still need to finish topic and thought privacy...
I think I'll get back to this today. A bit.
There's no hurry, please take your time :)

Sure, I can do that. Right now it's not even using language strings, it's simply hacked into the template directly, but with the positive feedback I guess I can commit it properly.

It's not even that that's the problem, it's the amount of options, and I don't think forcing it into three columns is quite the answer.

I don't know, need to think about it a bit more, meanwhile tomorrow I'll fix up the saving code - it's not like the UI can't be tweaked later on. It may be that I'm overthinking it right now and that it works fine in practical use.

Hmm, I sort of tried that - as it is, the change buttons are hidden until the dd is hovered over, and even *then* it feels a bit cluttered :(
