Off-topic / Your typing speed..?
« on November 2nd, 2012, 03:51 PM »
Found a pretty nice typing test and thought what the fellow member's typing speeds are:

Off-topic / Nexus 7
« on August 10th, 2012, 06:11 PM »
Who else is planning on getting one? I just received mine (costed me 260$ + shipping from US to India) and so far am loving it. It's a great tablet for the cost and a great tablet overall.

Off-topic / The Dark Knight Rises
« on July 25th, 2012, 06:23 PM »
OT: I know I haven't been active lately and have a few outstanding issues that I need to sort out, but RL has been taking its toll lately. I've been barely able to manage school, and this is the first time in 2 weeks I've booted my computer.

So...who has seen this picture? IMO it's easily one of the best comic based super hero picture and perhaps the best sequel (after LOTR and a couple other maybe) I've seen in a good while. It's a must watch if you liked The Dark Knight or are generally a fan of Batman. You might wanna watch Batman Begins to get a good idea of what's going on (not that it's required, but recommended).

Plugins / [Plugin] Notifications system (1.0)
« on June 10th, 2012, 08:14 PM »
I thought I'd announce this before I go, anyway, I've been working on a full fledged notifications of Wedge which is meant to serve as a replacement for all the existing notification with a fully pluggable notifications system.

The system plugin by default provides no notifications, but various plugin that will come with it that provides notifications for various actions. Currently implemented features:

- Allow plugins to easily issue notifications without much hassle
- Provide the user an easy interface to view those and mark as read, currently it's displaying 5 latest unread notifications on the sidebar with an option to view all notifications. The notifications are marked as read automatically as soon as they're clicked.
- Allow individual notifiers to be disabled per user, i.e. an user can choose to not receive notification for topic replies etc.
- Allow notifiers to send e-mails for notifications, which can be disabled on a per notifier basis by the user
- Allow e-mails to be received instantly, daily or weekly (not implemented yet)

The aim of the system is to provide an easy API for plugins to notify users without having to re-implement all the features again. Plus it provides a centralized system for receiving/viewing notifications.

Notification extensions
These plugins use the notifications core to issue notifications in various events, the notifications core itself is useless. These can be used as a sample for notification extensions

ID: Dragooon:WeNotif-TopicReply

Notifies the author of a reply to their topic

ID: Dragooon:WeNotif-Quote

Notifies the author if someone has quoted their post

I'll be working on replacing the existing notifications next, by providing plugins that mimic the funcionality but work full and well with the notification system.

Plugins / Hooks for moderation actions
« on June 7th, 2012, 08:58 PM »
I'm currently ripping apart the entire notification system and re-implementing it as an extension to the notifications core plugin, which probably won't be done until July since I'll be gone for June. And I realise that there are no hooks for many of the moderation actions such as splitting, approving, moving. It'll be useful to have these hooks.

Thanks :)

Off-topic / Will be gone for 3 weeks.
« on June 7th, 2012, 09:29 AM »
Starting Tuesday I'll be gone for 3 weeks as I'll be taking a trip to US. So you'll hardly see me and ddefinitely see no progress in my plugins. So, bye :)

Plugins / Optional hooks
« on June 5th, 2012, 10:13 AM »
Currently if a hook isn't present the plugin is unable to install. Perhaps there should be a third stage where the hook is optional. This can be used to provide optional support to plugins if available, otherwise that functionality will be disabled but other parts of the plugin can continue to function.

Off-topic / MySQL query optimization
« on June 4th, 2012, 11:01 PM »
I'm fairly dense when it comes to MySQL optimization mostly because I never had to do it. But now it seems to be required as I got a DB that's bigger than anything I've managed (which hasn't been randomly populated with a bunch of rand() calls). So, basically I got a table called bills which has only one primary key and index as id_bill

I run this query
Code: [Select]
                        SELECT <columns>
                        FROM bhd_bills AS b
                                INNER JOIN bhd_accounts AS a ON (a.id_account = b.id_account)
                                INNER JOIN bhd_users AS u ON (u.id_user = b.id_raised)
                                LEFT JOIN bhd_accounts AS ua ON (ua.id_user = u.id_user)
                        WHERE cancelled = 0
                                 AND 1=1
                        ORDER BY b.id_bill DESC
                        LIMIT 0, 20
And it causes the entire table to be copied into tmp, causing timeouts as the table contains roughly ~40k rows and takes a lot of time to process, whereas dividing it into 2 queries
Code: [Select]
                        SELECT b.id_bill
                        FROM {prefix}bills AS b
                        WHERE cancelled = 0
                                AND 1=1
                        ORDER BY b.id_bill DESC
                        LIMIT 0, 20;

                        SELECT <columns>
                        FROM bhd_bills AS b
                                INNER JOIN bhd_accounts AS a ON (a.id_account = b.id_account)
                                INNER JOIN bhd_users AS u ON (u.id_user = b.id_raised)
                                LEFT JOIN bhd_accounts AS ua ON (ua.id_user = u.id_user)
                        WHERE id_bill IN (<result from above>)
It comes insanely fast. Can anyone explain why?

Off-topic / What the...
« on June 3rd, 2012, 07:40 PM »
Code: (Search2.php, line 584 and 638) [Select]
$word = $word;

What am I missing?

Plugins / Hooks for loadMemberData and loadMemberContext
« on May 29th, 2012, 10:17 AM »
It'd be great to have a hook for these 2 functions so that additional fields from member's table can be loaded which may be added by plugins. Even a basic hook would suffice.

Features / Disable animation on mobile devices
« on May 21st, 2012, 04:23 PM »
I'm fairly sure jQuery has a global turn of animation switch, and I think it should be enabled for mobile devices since they cannot really handle animations which are run via iteration.

Off-topic / VPS
« on May 19th, 2012, 03:24 PM »
I'm looking into moving hosts and would like to know of any recommendations you might have. I'm currently paying 101.5$/quarter so that's about 33.6$/month and would like to stay in this price range, preferable less. I really don't have any heavy requirements, just that I need a good full fledged VPS with a cPanel license which has a reliable uptime and good support (in case, not that I need a lot of support). The reason I'm moving is because currently the VPS is giving me a lot of headaches and I could use a new host.

Plugins / [Plugin] Facebook for Wedge
« on March 23rd, 2012, 08:22 AM »
Because there had to be one, fairly basic plugin for Wedge. Aims at providing simple integration with Facebook.

Current features:
- Facebook logging in and quick registering
- Real time callback updates of name and birthdate
- Publishing new topics to wall
- Publishing new thoughts to wall
- Posting new status updates as thoughts

Requires a simplistic setup which will not take more than 5 minutes, instructions will be posted once it's released.

Screenshots attached.

Plugins / Hooks for thoughts
« on March 21st, 2012, 09:39 PM »
Would it be possible to have hooks when thoughts are published?

Archived fixes / Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in Load.php
« on March 20th, 2012, 03:32 PM »
Not sure what to make of this but suddenly I got this error after logging out after enabling a plugin :
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /usr/local/zend/apache2/htdocs/wedge/trunk/Sources/Load.php on line 474

Investigating further the line is
Code: [Select]
$user_info += $temp
Whereas $temp is false. In the above "if" the comparison is being made as
Code: [Select]
if ($temp === null...
which seems to be wrong
