Wedge

http://xkcd.com/1208/

For some reason this makes me think of Wedge.[1]

1.	I can't imagine why.[1]  1.  No, really, I can't imagine why.

I just did a very quick comparison of files between Portuguese PT and Portugese Brazilian, as well as Spanish Es vs Spanish Latin.

The changes are much more extensive than English US vs English UK is, to the point where the extra language pack is probably worth the effort. English UK modifies a tiny fraction, easily under 10% of the language codex as a whole - so 90% similarity, then. But I can't find any language file in either of those two comparisons that has anything like a 90% similarity, I'd be hard put to suggest there's a 50% similarity to some files (though I'm eye-balling it from WinMerge)

On the back of that, I'd actually suggest we don't do the language fallback.

! It's late, I'm tired and I think I finally finished this stuff into something I can at least commit, even if it is a modest distance from perfect, even it's not entirely finished or battle tested. I just want to be able to commit it and have a proper good night's sleep for the first time in a month. Yes, there are bugs, there are unfinished bits, but committing it will at least allow me to figure out what's next. There is, as far as I know, nothing actually outright broken here. Just things that don't work properly or at all (as opposed to error vomiting). And now I can go to bed and try and find some of my sanity again.

Amongst the warning system, there's various other oddments relating to the moderation centre, the plugin loader and some other stuff.

IMPORTANT: When this is deployed, you should disable all plugins PRIOR to uploading this, and then re-enable them AFTER uploading this. There are some important changes in the way plugin hooks are handled, to do with storing their paths properly. There's also overhauls to the hooks a little in here too which all seems to work properly for me and means language hooks reuse code nicely. Feel free to ask me when I wake up if there's anything you're not clear about. (Yes, I'm well aware that some stuff really is non functional, especially some of the stuff related to the mod centre overhaul. The full infraction log, for example, doesn't even exist yet. But right now I do not actually care. This has taken me a month to get done, along with the periodic commits along the way. I'm human; I have been weighed, I have been measured, and at times I found myself wanting.

If you want to play with it on a test installation before updating wedge.org that would probably be best.

1.	I wasn't kidding when I said that was only a fraction of it.

You know, I'd REALLY like it if you would read what has been posted. Your question would have already been answered. All posts are checked but action is only taken if the criteria are actually met, like I already said, including the fact that group access is also one of those criteria you can play with. I even gave you a specific example of not applying it to a certain group.

I will also suggest you spend a bit of time reading around this forum. The feature you 'suggest I add' was added MONTHS ago. Although it has had an overhaul in recent times in line with other changes in the guts of Wedge due to the warning system.

I have documented and provided screenshots of all this stuff, multiple times over in some places.


:edit: The UI was built over a year ago - http://wedge.org/pub/feats/7099/moderation-filters-ui/ (and I built the UI some time after I built the underlying logic)

8 times in 12 years for actual software change is a big deal, suggests that not enough thought or research was put in, in the first place.

SMF -> Wedge is not such a big jump, though. It's much like the jump from Windows 98 to Windows XP, you can drive it readily enough without any guidance but once you get under the hood, there are all kinds of awesome extras in there.

So, I'm temporarily on a tablet, and I still say there are things we need to change that aren't stylistic. Right now the big one is animation on the quick reply area.

Also, it occurs to me that draft saving should default to the device on mobile devices rather than default to saving primarily for bandwidth (but also performance) reasons. The big issues I've had with this in the past are desktop browser support (IE 6-7 being the big issues) and the support for getting items between systems; this seems a big issue on mobile, however I'd probably argue that it's more useful there and the save draft button will still be able to pull from what's presently shown and push to the server for moving between devices.

Also, formatting is still awry on iPad 3 w/ iOS 5.1.1, namely the poster area is still shrunken and the badge flows out of the area, plus on the thoughts area, the time takes up a very narrow column, but ends up taking multiple rows of text (forcing the entire layout to be awry in thoughts)

Also, jumping bug is still present; I wrote that post, merged it, which returned me to #msg for whatever, which is fine. I then scrolled up, tapped the notifications area. It opened, but I was pushed back down the page to where the #msg anchor is.

Wedge has some of what is described here, the ability to moderate or prevent posts even being made if they contain certain words. But you can't issue warnings or bans because of it for precisely the 'stepping on a land mine' issue mentioned.

I haven't actually seen it yet, I was out all day yesterday.
