Archived fixes / Re: Boards don't get their PURLs created properly
« on March 19th, 2012, 10:42 PM »
Yes. I worked on it this morning but was only able to fix a few bugs. The issue is that createBoard generates a dummy URL and then transmits it to modifyBoard. Untouched.
To be complete, there is an identical issue with membergroups. It sets -1,0 by default and never the request into account. Interestingly I had the same problem with Wedge.org when running SMF and thought it was a problem with the noisen codebase. Now I doubt it.
Tomorrow I hope I'll fix it. So many bugs left to look into... But I'll have much more time available.

Features / Re: Number of posts per page
« on March 19th, 2012, 08:32 PM »
I did know about this all. I don't use the feature myself because I think 15 posts is a good number. I tend to hardcode numbers otherwise -- I believe Noisen.com has 8 posts per page on blogs, and 15 on topics, for instance.
Less posts: good for mobile, mostly..?
More posts: good for heavy readers.
An alternative would be to retrieve posts as an endless scroll. But I, personally, don't like this kind of thing at all... I just think that, if it's going to be a potential feature in the future, it might jeopardize Like caching.
I hate asking myself that kind of crap, but... "What would Facebook do?"
:lol:
Okay, and I have to go... Again... Sorry. As I said, it'll probably take me a week to catch up with everything.

rev 1486
(3 files, 2kb)
! Fixed a few bugs in board modification with a Pretty URL set. There are still bugs left, but here are the fixes: Wedge was using id_cat instead of id_owner to determine the board owner (this was a leftover from the Noisen codebase), the URL generator was going through the topic generator codebase (meaning, mostly, that it accepted illegal characters), and board URLs containing an action name (such as /do or /admin) were being green-lit. (Subs-Boards.php, Subs-PrettyUrls.php)
! Don't accept any action in the board URL. Previously, it wouldn't accept direct action names, now it'll analyze any bit of the URL between potential slashes. (Subs-PrettyUrls.php)
* Added a safety to prevent people from creating a board URL that is a parent of a board owned by someone else, just like it currently prevents creating a child of these. Also, admins should be able to create whatever URL they want, regardless of board ownership. (Subs-PrettyUrls.php)
* Added space trimming in CSS selectors (dunno why I left these out?!), and slash trimming in board Pretty URLs. Y'never known. (Class-CSS.php, Subs-PrettyUrls.php)

rev 1485
(4 files, 5kb)
+ Added "Top liked posts" statistics to the Stats page. Yay. Nothing is cached for now, it's not out of complexity but because I'm not sure it's worth it. (Stats.php, Stats.template.php, Stats.language.php)
@NOTE: this was announced in rev 1481 but I forgot to check the files... Also, the icon won't show at all because it's linked to a CSS file change I have yet to document and commit. Sorry.

Archived fixes / [Bug?] Re: Layout problem with long titles
« on March 19th, 2012, 12:40 PM »It's more a case of people reporting stuff that's broken, as they see it.
You and I both know it'll all get sorted out in the end, it's just going to take a little bit of time to make that all happen - but it will get sorted out.
Turns out that many of the bugs were introduced very recently, with some of the larger rewrites we did in a hurry to prepare for the public version. (I think.)
The trick is to not let it get on top of us, which is why I'm looking to organise this board - so that we can assess what's done vs what hasn't been done yet, so that we can focus our time on what needs doing.
I know that the pub prefix is really for 'public', as opposed to our private area, but I don't think we're gonna keep everyone to the pub prefix forever..?

« on March 19th, 2012, 12:15 PM »
This is a known issue, one that I haven't got around to fixing yet... Have you noticed the number of minor bugs I've had to fix recently? :P
Plus, every time I fix a bug, I risk introducing another, and this behavior is well known by all programmers. I tend to prefer going ahead and back again when I find a problem. If I do it a few times (back and forth, back and forth...), I'll end up realizing what the problem is and explore another solution.
In this particular case, the issue is due to the fact that Wedge.org originally showed no topic titles beside regular posts, instead only showing them when they had *changed* in the first place. Which makes the HTML shorter and makes it most likely that everyone will notice the title change in the middle of the topic.
Problem is, I never really discussed this, and just left it "the way it is in SMF" for Wedge, not really bothering about title lengths. I want the post header to be as short as possible, so it needs to be kept in a single line. You have no idea, really, no one has any idea how much time I spent on this in the past, before simply moving on to other things, hoping I'd find a better solution later. Technically, I'm using a table display on the buttons, but the behavior is often irregular depending on the browser. This was also one of the reasons I added the Action menu, so that the line would be as short as possible, but with Pete's last-minute addition of the Like feature, I decided to 'let it in', instead of hiding it in the action menu. As a result, well... You can see it, the line is longer than I used to have, and thus my Weaving layout is a bit broken by it.
I'll come around to fixing it... But I have other priorities right now.
Please give me about a week to fix *everything* as best as I can.

Off-topic / Re: OMG! How can I download this!!!!!!!!
« on March 19th, 2012, 07:09 AM »
Indeed many permission related bugs won't be found by admins themselves without them creating dummy accounts. Which is tedious to do ;)

It happens in the admin area mostly.
As for what you describe. How's this a bug? Wedge shows the a dropup instead of a dropdown so that it doesn't get cropped..

A bit over 1000 for me and close to 500 for Pete, but his commits are of a priceless quality, so quantity doesn't me a thing.
As a reminder, the full list of commits is linked in the revision number in the footer.

Yay....
Okay, I've updated the site to rev 1482. Hopefully it'll be working!
(Hmm... I can't help but notice that this very post is not being saved as a draft, even though I left it running for a couple of minutes.)
Oh, and there are issues with some of the icons in the action menus. Will look into this tomorrow.
And drafts worked this time.

I'll install the update tomorrow. Tonight was movie night... Well, Dae Jang Geum #48 night really. I've ne'er seen a cheap show so fascinating and rewarding. Heck it's better than 95% of all AAA US shows.
