Archived fixes / Re: Bug with color & font selectboxes
« on March 27th, 2012, 10:13 PM »
It is in my to do list ;)
I'm too ill tonight to do any serious work though. And first I have to finish my 'show groups under user names' rewrite.

Font is an uppercase Aller Display, if you're wondering. Can be considered our official font for marketing elements I guess. Although it's not free for commercial use but whatever. It's free for web embedding for instance.
Phew I have a most annoying headache since I committed. It's like i had accumulated too much stress...

! Fixed thought list on iOS. The action buttons don't look great, with no animation and all, but iOS doesn't support position: absolute (at least my version of it), and I decided against doing too many tricks. Usability is more important here. (index.iphone.css)
! Spacinazi. (index.template.php)

It's okay. The entire thing was a mess to begin with anyway... Especially with view_newest_first being a possible option.
Honestly, I'm not even sure the feature isn't buggy *in the current SMF* as well...!
Oh, did you notice I changed the badges today? (Maybe the font! And what it says for us.)

rev 1512

! Fixed Display.php screwing with post counters, anchor positions and blog/board differences. It took an AWFUL five days of work to fix it all. The code's a bit on the hackish side, some of it doesn't even make sense to me, but I'd rather commit buggy code that works, than leave untouched any buggy code that doesn't work. (Display.php)
! Fixed 'All pages' feature showing links to all pages apart from the [All] thingy. Well, it could be argued that you'd want to have clear links to individual pages in the page index even if you have all of the pages visible in the first place. But I'm saying that it's a waste of HTML, so have someone else fix it back for ya. (Display.php)
! Fixed Merge Double Posts flag being set incorrectly if $ascending was set to false. (Display.php)
- Removed support for topic=123.from456, which has never been used in SMF and Wedge AFAIK. So, just as I said last time, if your forum is old enough to support these links, then you're skilled enough to do a redirect rule in your htaccess or apache config file. (Display.php)
- Commenting out some portion of optimization-oriented code that I couldn't get to work properly with the new fixes. I'll restore it when I'm less tired. Seriously, you don't want to make me do that now. (Display.php)

« on March 27th, 2012, 06:11 PM »It really is an AWFUL mess to deal with. Right when I think I've got it fixed, I'll test something else and it'll fail.
- correct number of posts per page
- correct post offset on each page (i.e. no missing or repeated posts across pages)
- correct counter
- correct anchor position when requesting /msg1234 (i.e. no anchor in msg1235 or msg1233 instead)
- correct anchor position when requesting /new
- correct page index (i.e. ensure it recognizes the page it's currently on)
- correct 'merge double posts' flags everywhere
- correct behavior in both blog and board modes
- correct behavior in both 'normal' and 'reverse' views
YES!!!
I'm finally done!
The code fluctuates between hackish and stylish, but most importantly, it's finish!!! :lol:

Yes, it is. It's stored in a member field in the database. It's not an actual file cache or anything. Since it's retrieved on every single page you visit, it's way faster to store it in your member row, which is retrieved as well.

Not really. Bugs are piling up in here... I'm starting to hate Pete for deciding to implementing blogs this way, or maybe simply SMF for deciding to add a reverse post option... :lol:

In some situations, I'll have most of these checked... And voilà, I'll find a flaw in the code.
It's been like this for 5 days now...

The Pub / Re: Ready for prime time...?
« on March 27th, 2012, 10:57 AM »
My personal goal is to release an alpha in late April (which I won't achieve, of course), a more realistic goal would be May if we don't find ANY other game-breaking issues. Which WILL happen, mind you. Right now I'm working on a game-breaker ('view newest posts' mode being broken in some situations) that has had me stumped for 5 days now... -_-
Also, iOS has trouble posting with Wedge. It didn't, back when we did the internal tests, but I didn't test posting a lot really. (Heck, actually I'm wondering if I ever did myself...?!)
Other than that, hmm... I don't know. The layout is pretty good, but it's still a bit busy to my taste. The icons below user names have low opacity which is good to have, but considering that they're shown in the user menu already, one of them is gonna go -- and I suspect it will be the 'visible' icons that have to go. Also, but for moderators only, that 'Issue warning' icon's position is annoying the hell out of me. I think I'll just move it to the Action menu... I'll have to find an alternative icon for it because Report to moderator/Issue warning share the same icon really. (Perhaps I could simply show 'Report to moderator' only if 'Issue warning' isn't available... That would make a LOT of sense actually.)
Oh, and the Likes list, too. That styling needs some love.

rev 1511
(3 files, 3kb)
! The 'javascript' parameter in show_settings was adding an extra space here and there, resulting in unneeded spaces in the final HTML. Harmonized this. (ManagePaid.php, Admin.template.php)
! Rewrote the select box's handling of details (helper text below an option) because it wasn't working correctly in the current version. To do this, I also had to fix the fixed width code because it didn't behave any better. I fear it would make the script bigger, but in the end it's actually shorter by 21 gzipped bytes. Yaych. (sbox.js)

Well, SMF and wedge can perfectly handle blogs ;)
Look at my signature for good examples! All made with my custom SMF.

If you don't care about ie6/7, use display:table-cell on the parent an vertical-align:middle. I do it in the login page right here ;)
