Features / What's the purpose of non-database sessions?
« on February 3rd, 2014, 07:10 PM »
I think I've got the hang of manipulating sessions in database fields (I had to do that in order to implement session-based caching :P), but now I'm playing with non-database sessions, and having problems, namely my sessions are automatically regenerated every X seconds, making it impossible for me to connect to my test admin area, lol.
I was getting started on fixing this, when suddenly it hit me... What's the point?! If this bug wasn't found before, maybe that's because no one ever uses file-based sessions.
I'm tempted to just remove the feature, which will make one line less to read at install time. What do you think, guys..?

The Pub / Re: Wedge repo -- installation feedback
« on February 3rd, 2014, 04:15 PM »
@Maxx, Weaving is supposed to be the 'dry' skin, for those who like their CSS to be simple.
However, I still find it too verbose. I'm looking for someone to help me remove a few kilobytes of styles, and move them to Wilde and things like that. The problem is here: it needs to still *look good* after de-styling it. I only managed to remove a few hundred bytes by optimizing unordered lists, and even that, I haven't yet finished doing. (No commit.)
A nightmare... Well, for the perfectionist that I am, I guess.
@Obake, if it's only about the color set, why not 'fork' Wilde and apply its colors to it..? I'd be interested in seeing the results. :P
The 'bug' in OriginalFiles.php is (still) due to your script running PHP 5.2, not PHP 5.3. Sorry about that, but...
Not only does Wedge support subdomains, but unlike SMF, it supports *per-board* subdomains, just like Noisen.com does. I'm not using these here because I've been planning (for so many years ahah) to use a cookie-less sub-domain for asset retrievals, at least to test performance between with/without.
I'd recommend you enable a wildcard for subdomains, if your host allows it!

- In Wess, channels() was considering unspecified RGBA channels to be forced to 0, instead of unchanged. channels(gray, 30%) is supposed to mean 'Gray, with 30% more red' (as it's the first channel in the list), not 'gray, with 30% more red, no green, no blue and no opacity'. (Class-CSS.php)

- The Purge Cache admin menu entry should always be enabled for admins, regardless of their cache settings, because language cache is always enabled anyway. (Subs.php)

- First set of patches from SMF 2.0.7. As this one is quite large, I'm slower to update. Some stuff is outdated and doesn't need to be applied. Some is for Postgresql compatibility, but it doesn't hurt MySQL so whatever, I'm applying it. Finally, many things are fixes taken by Mr. A from Wedge, applied to SMF, and that are trying to make their way back into Wedge. It gets kinda confusing. (index.php, SSI.php, Profile-Modify.php, Register.php, ScheduledTasks.php, Search2.php)
- A security fix from SMF 2.0.3 wasn't applied by said Mr. A back when he was in charge of back-porting SMF patches, so... Did I tell you it was getting confused? Because I'm confused. (SSI.php)

- Just saved over a KB of code in the pretty URL conversion function. Some of the characters were tested against several times in various ways (!), some searches were to fail from the start, it's all very interesting. I'm not sure whether it comes down to the fact that this is a very old mod, or maybe I screwed it up when I converted my code to Wedge... I don't know. It's all very complicated anyway, I'm just making it simpler to get. Hopefully not breaking any special cases. (Subs-PrettyUrls.php)
- Improved westr::entity_to_utf8 to include some edge cases. (Class-String.php)
- Continuing the patch road, but since there's nothing to apply in Wedge (it was already done for the most part), I'm just simplifying hardcoded functions into entity_to_utf8. (Dlattach.php, Subs-Members.php, Subs-Post.php)
- Note: testers wanted for pretty URLs. Just create new topics on your test forums, with silly characters in the title, even entities. They should be converted to a simple alpha-numeric string. Thanks!

- Removed Maintain Database area, moved table optimization to Routine Maintenance area. (Admin.php, ManageMaintenance.php...)
- Removed UTF converters. We have an importer for that... No need to maintain 22KB of code, even in the admin area. TE, the rest is up to you! ;) (ManageMaintenance.php, Subs-Charset.php, ManageMaintenance.template.php, Admin.english.php, ManageMaintenance.english.php)
- Cleaned up Routine Maintenance area. It looks better to me, but your mileage may vary. (ManageMaintenance.template.php)
- Moved getLegacyAttachmentFilename to ManageAttachments. This function is only used once in Subs and once in M.A., I don't see the point in always loading 3KB of code in our main function library when you can afford to loadSource M.A. and be done with it. (Subs.php, ManageAttachments.php)

The Pub / Re: Notifications
« on February 3rd, 2014, 01:42 PM »
I don't see where the problem is.
- Notifications: you can mark one as read without previewing it by clicking the X icon that shows up on hover. You can also mark it as read simply by clicking the notification, at which point it'll load the preview, and after the preview is loaded, the notification is internally marked as read. Reload the page and it's gone.
- PMs: as I said before, originally this worked the same way, but I realized that I never answered PMs before I forgot about them after being notified of them. I figured that notifications are okay to miss, but PMs should be answered, so this works differently, and it doesn't mark PMs as read automatically. If you want them marked read, just click the link to the PM itself. Voilà. The PM page loads, and the PM is marked read. You're free not to answer it, of course, but at least you can't tell me that I did my work incorrectly and that you 'missed' an important PM because of the notification popups.
- Notification types: you are notified when someone likes your post, when someone moves your topic, and when someone mentions you (only if the mentions plugin is installed, of course.)
- More notification types..? -- this isn't a priority of mine, but it's in my to-do-list. It's a fine line between getting notified of things that matter to you, and being burdened with having to read too many notifications (à la Facebook).
One thing I'm planning to do before stable is out, is to add a 'watchlist' table, where you can subscribe to a topic (you'll get notified on new replies to that topic), a board (you'll get notified on new topics), a user (you'll get notified on public actions they do, have to determine which), and perhaps other things. The only thing I'm missing is a proper discussion with you guys where we'd establish what type of data the watchlist could hold.

Importing into Wedge / Re: Database permissions
« on February 3rd, 2014, 01:35 PM »
It's a cop-out! :lol:
Although, yeah, my problem is that I've never tried installing Wedge on a different database, because, well, I only have the one... :^^;:
Also, one would think that if you're thinking of 'upgrading' your forum to Wedge, you'd want to keep changes to a minimum, so... Same database, really.

« on February 3rd, 2014, 01:33 PM »The typical non SSL user's need to know is that, they can use the url at the top of the U tube page it has to be the one generated by the share bottom at you tube. the https:// will not work! cause it's a secured url:)
But my issue is the size. I'll need to investigate this more. IT allow you to set this size, but it has no effect on the size and the video over laps the post window area!
The overlapping problem (Firefox-only, AFAIK) was fixed before I even released the source code.

Importing into Wedge / Re: MyBB Import
« on February 3rd, 2014, 01:31 PM »
I've updated the importer with a tentative fix for MyBB and count_posts. It's only going to work if MySQL understands the word 'yes' as '1' when working on an integer field. I couldn't find any information on that, but I'm going to assume that was the reason it didn't work. MyBB's usepostcounts works the same way as Wedge's count_posts, so there's really no reason not to do a direct import of that field.

I still don't get why you didn't vote when the original 5.2 vs 5.3 poll took place... :^^;:
And you know, you've had access to the importer for a long time, and it already had the MyBB script in it..? ;)
(And yes, I still haven't been to your website to check out what's wrong and try to fix it... Sorry! A bit overwhelmed, these days...)

Archived fixes / Re: Post Count / Youtube Embed
« on February 2nd, 2014, 10:58 PM »
AFAIK, (1) it's a SMF feature, not from Wedge, (2) boards are set to count posts by default, including the first default board. The only board in wedge.org that doesn't count posts is the Test board, as can be expected.

Regular: click the X or click anywhere to open the preview.
PM: visit the inbox. I did this to force notifs to stay visible. Pms require an answer usually. I currently have 16 PMS waiting for an answer lol.
Before stable I'd like to add a 'mark unread' link in regular PMS and a 'mark read' link in pm notifs but I want to find the proper styling for that.
