Plugins / Re: Show Hooks
« on January 11th, 2012, 12:26 PM »
Oh, that's NICE. I deliberately didn't think about it being core, partly because I felt it could be done better as a plugin, partly because I suspect most users don't care and partly because I couldn't visualise a good UI. But I knew it could be done :)

Yes, we should make it that by default. (In fact, we could quite easily make it the only option and be done with it.)

And yes, I think it does show the option on marking things as read.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where 'target' became 'irreversible deadline'. Probably all the personal crap I had going on made me miss that memo.

There is a demo. It isn't public, but invitation only at this time.

Most people here can't see the quick moderation selectbox, even if it were enabled by default because it only shows up if you have moderation privileges.

And it long since predates the public area.

It's all in here...
Hmm, did they introduce that into the core software somewhere so that it would be added to index.php and shown in the footer, or was that only on their dev server for daily builds? I can't remember now.

Agreed...

Wanna do it?

And for the jumpto on this field? You or me? Can add to my to-do (although it's a bit crowded...), as you like.
There's two things here? I think jumpto should be extended to that field too, I just don't know when it'll be done :/ I really need to get back into the swing of PHP dev, spent a lot of the last few weeks doing all sorts of nice non-PHP dev.

In other news, I watched Sherlock 2x02 tonight. This one's written by Mark Gatiss and it shows, because while it's very good, it just wasn't up to the standard of 2x01's writing.

It's an interesting take on Hound of the Baskervilles, though sadly I figured out who it was and what was going on long before Sherlock did - even though it's sufficiently different to the original that you can't just blame the person of the same name who turns up. I didn't figure out the entirety of the backstory as to how it all pieced together, but I got who, how and why, which I'm satisfied with.


I *really* need to watch Night and the Doctor, but I will also have to keep switching back to my Mac to do so at present because my PC sucks.

In which case their SVN server does some magic in the post_commit hook. One of the perks of hosting your own SVN at least.

There's no hook for on-checkout or on-update, the hooks are things triggered by a commit, either pre-commit or post-commit, and unless you fancy the core code having the SVN rev in it and milestone/release builds handled manually (compared to the actual core, e.g. actually manually or at least through some kind of script) there's no good way to deal with it.


Re the board listing, I wouldn't have a problem making the quick moderation adhere to that. In fact, I've been wondering about whether that needs changing; the fact that so many people ask where it went makes me think we should make it on by default - or even making it the *only* option, so if you can't moderate, you don't see it at all but if you can, that's the only view you get.

If it were used far, far more (like every other page or so by every other user or so) then it might be worth it but as it stands, it's probably not worth it. Even going through the whole cache thing isn't really worth it, IMHO.

It will add some bytes and an entire query *every single page*. Considering the frequency that goes with usage of the quick access/jumpto, it's really not worth the processing overhead every single page for it.

The only "glitch" I noticed is for the "Quick access" scrollbar.
By design. The first time you click it, it gets all the list of boards you can see, to populate the box. Just like SMF does.

changelog.txt's first line, SMF?
Updated manually by the team. The amount of times they forgot to update it...

Whatever script pulls the files can just edit the version string... I don't think there's any more elegant way of doing that without reinstalling.

Oh, and Deluxe Paint on the Amiga :D

That code checks for anyone requesting files that begin with .hta (like .htaccess) and blocks the request entirely. Though that shouldn't be necessary in an .htaccess file because the stock Apache configuration expressly denies that at the highest level.
