Features / Re: Session Managment
« on April 18th, 2013, 03:58 PM »I was coming from the point if view were an admin can view all active sessions on a per user basis, not every session at once and allow an admin to kill the session if needed to for whatever reason.
im coming from the way google allows a user to manage theie own sessions and can kill a session were they see activity or a login that wasnt them.
The idea is interesting, I'm just not sure how practical it would be in context of what we do and how it all works.
Now, if admin and regular user sessions were *separate* like they are in systems like IPB, that's a whole different ball game entirely.

« on April 18th, 2013, 03:38 PM »It would allow for more transparency for admins in allowing them to see the session, the associated user, when the session was created, when the user was last seen with that session etc.
There is a host of technical matters around this, including the number of sessions likely to be present in the database, versus the number of sessions that are considered to be online (the number is likely to be different), and remember that every guest also has a session too.
I would also love to know in what scenarios this would actually be useful for debugging.

This is of course an example of a really bad user. Normally you wouldn't get this in a real forum situation, at least I hope not.

The Pub / Re: More RSS feeds
« on April 18th, 2013, 03:11 AM »
The main issue was security. Having an RSS only key means you expose something that should not necessarily be public *simply by way of the URL*
I'm not even fond of what Google Reader used to do which was expose the user/pass combo through HTTP Basic (i.e. http://user:pass@example.com/) though I could see a plugin accepting a hashed version of the password and using that to delegate authority. But it would have to be hashed in a different way to the main password for security reasons.
Using HTTP Basic is about as primitive as it gets simply because of the fact it's exposing the 'password' with every request to every system along the way (it's passed unencrypted)

I'm not talking about any of the stuff related to caching or anything like that. I'm simply referring to the board URL as stored in the boards table, because in theory in our setup you can even do subdomain handling (like on Noisen), but right now boards are broken when they are set up.

I'm not sure about the colour change, though I did try it. Also, not sure about this presentation but I'm satisfied with it for now.

Oops, it shouldn't be fun :P
I'm just working on adding the rest of the stuff to that popup, there's quite a bit to it in the worst cases.

No, it's not related to the fact I'm using localhost.
It doesn't show for you because you're using it in the root. Whereupon the / prefix is absolutely fine because the absolute path isn't a problem there.
But if you install it in a non-root folder, it won't work properly. Were I to install it as localhost/index.php, it would appear to work, just like it does here for the same reason it does here.
I'm not being funny but I've been reporting for YEARS that it doesn't work properly. This is why. It just finally annoyed me enough to actually spend a little time investigating.
Seriously, go install it in a non root folder for yourself and see what breaks. localhost/wedge/ will be fine. Or indeed anything that isn't the root of a domain.

I don't work out of my own SVN folder. So when it was removed, it didn't magically get removed from the test installation. So, just like here then.
Having removed the extra.webkit.css file here, it does work as expected.

Oh, and just to point out, .button_class is broken. Some of the buttons do not have a proper padding-left, and before there's any debate about 'I'm not using SVN', this occurs here too with Chrome 27.

Less vicious colours, more information, and yay broken CSS (since this is no longer using the .warn class, this is using the input.new class - but just for fun, they're all broken in Chrome because the virtual .button_class is being overridden by the styling on input[type="submit"] definition of padding.
