Features / Re: Message icons, some proposed changes
« on March 13th, 2013, 12:03 AM »
There's not much about our old forum that I miss, but here's how they display post icons (sorry, this is the least-worst example I can find).
Do the smilies' tool-tips have various languages? E.g :angel: this one's is "Hypocrite" and if so could the post icons have tips in the same way.
Cannot comment on the CSS / SSI :huh:

If you boys need any more help with your programming just ask :lol: :rotfl:
Thanks for fixing :thanks:
:edit: ps is there any chance of getting a new copy of Class-Media.php? I would like to check the changes I am going to make to my SMF installation (I am far from a programmer!).

Originally found this on SMF but it's there if Wedge is installed on the same host. It's down to the exec() function being disabled on that server, and I imagine that other users will come up against the same problem on shared servers.
On SMF the code is in Aeva-Media.php and in Wedge it appears to be in Class-Media.php. For SMF I think I've fixed it by wrapping:
Code: [Select] around blocks of code with the exec function in.
But I'll leave the Wedge code to you, I don't want to classed as hardcore ;)

2. :cool:
3 & 4. Thanks as always for your explanations. Is there anything you want explained? Medical? Financial? How a 4 stroke engine works?
6. Yes it's the UI that makes it too messy to set up.
7. Looking at the first page of the boards on our forum, there are only 4 (2 by me) threads with a non-Standard icon. Even wedge.org seems to be 90% Standard icons. So it's just a suggestion for how to prompt topic starters to pick one.

1. you're right - I cannot find a single theme that ships with its own set.
2. Nonsense! Oh, we want to use that :( We have a forum where we want two extra message icons that would not make sense elsewhere. We would also disable icons for an individual forum but it would be too untidy.
3, 4. Uh-huh (nods head pretending to understand).
5. This sounds really if it could go with our use of per-forum icons. But otherwise I don't think we'd use it.
My requests would be:
6. Ability to easily disable icons per forum.
7. Place the icons' images in a row under the subject input. That way people would use them more often.

I see, although I'm surprised that in this day&age there's a problem with making more queries (not doubting you - just surprised).

Bug reports / Re: Profile field values lost when edited
« on February 20th, 2013, 10:29 PM »
Fair enough :)
Yes it is a bit of an odd setup. When I was first looking for the values I was looking for profile field tables; putting it into themes is bizarre!
Maybe a rough and dirty 'fix' then is to make it clear that the values cannot be amended once used. At the minute the help says:
"Reordering Options: You can reorder the options by moving text around between the boxes. However - an important note - you must make sure you do not change the text when reordering options as otherwise user data will be lost."
I guess this should be changed as it gives the impression that you can change the text when not reordering the options, without losing data.
Luckily I tried it on test data first :^^;:

Bug reports / Profile field values lost when edited
« on February 20th, 2013, 05:59 PM »
This is on SMF and it seems the same on Wedge. We have a Custom Profile Field of field type Select Box, with about 10 values. If one of these values is changed then all its values are removed from the themes table and those members who formerly had this value will now have none.
The work around is to use sql to update the themes table to the new value for the appropriate members, then come back to SMF / Wedge to change the field value.
I.e. run this:
Code: [Select] then go to the Custom Profile Field modify screen to change the value - which must be changed to exactly the new value in the SQL code.
Is this an old bug or is editing the values beyond the idea of select boxes?

That will be an excellent feature to have (and the UI looks good to me).

Off-topic / Re: Opera goes WebKit, RIP Presto
« on February 13th, 2013, 05:01 PM »
Nice post, from a fellow Opera user from around the same time (when they took off the adverts). I still use Opera because in terms of functionality it's always been ahead and still has many must-have features without having to load add-ons. I have started to use Chrome more recently because of compatibility issues so if these will be stopped with the engine change then, for me, Opera is back way out in front.

Of course I don't know how much time it takes to push out a new version so if it's tricky feel free to swear at me ;) And yes I know I could be spending Wedge-time on documentation :whistle:

Plugins / Re: Plugin server
« on January 23rd, 2013, 03:29 PM »
Er, I don't really understand any of what's been written so far. I'd just like to push for something that makes searching easier. On SMF I've bookmaked http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;smf_versions[]=68;bool=and;sort=modified;desc to get the latest 2.0.3 mods (clever ain't I :eheh:). And it would be good to be able to search for those that are genuinely new rather than merely updated, or those that are now available for my version. Also searching on a word or phrase is hit-and-miss. (Sorry if this don't belong here)

Off-topic / Re: Plugin user interfaces
« on January 23rd, 2013, 03:01 PM »
Will there be a vetting process for new plugins as there is on SMF? (I ask because I remember talk of there being none.) If so this could be the stage at which you state the required UI changes in order to be passed.
Not a coder myself, but I assume that there are those who can code great new features but not great on looks, and those who are great on UIs but would never make a new plugin. Maybe the latter could help out the former in some capacity?
