Features / Re: Core/Not Core
« on August 8th, 2011, 07:47 PM »I consider Word bloated because it has an awful lot that most people won't use, IMO; the usual claim is everyone uses only 10% and that everyone uses a different 10% but my experience is that the 10% claims aren't of all the features - most people use a very very limited subset so that you could prune 80% of the features and probably 95% won't notice.
What were you saying already? :lol:
I don't think we're looking like we're going to be bloated in the core, though, because I think what we're doing suits a suitably large percentage of sites.

Nah, I beg to differ... If the new features don't hurt performance at all, and if you don't even notice them (only if you're *looking* for them), it's not bloat ;)
SMG went from 400kb (early versions) to 750kb (AeMe), nobody ever complained about bloat ;)

! Aeva auto-embedding should now be applied only to popular sites by default (until you fine-tune the admin settings). This saves about 0.1s per call to parse_bbc(). (Aeva-Embed.php, ManageMedia3.php)
! self:: doesn't seem to work on public static functions. Using the object name instead. (Class-String.php)
* Removed these websites from the Popular embed list (not actually that popular these days): Bebo, Imeem, Truveo. (Subs-Aeva-Sites.php)
* Moved these websites to the Popular embed list (according to Alexa ranks): Break, Hulu, Last.fm (Audio). (Subs-Aeva-Sites.php)
* Spacinazi. Ternary operators are always processed after == :) (Feed.php, Subs-Auth.php)
* Moved a long comment out of a function. (Security.php)
* Okay, I give up for now... Back to Verdana for posts for now. In terms of readability, it's hard to do better on an imported SMF forum, otherwise it's too much of a change. For now. (index.css, sections.css)
* Now calling number_context in board index and in-topic stats, for the number of replies and views. (Display.template.php, MessageIndex.template.php, index.language.php)
- Had a remaining board_topics call. (MessageIndex.template.php)
@ Note: I would really appreciate if someone could take some time and look into video site popularities. Or even test the current state of Aeva embedding -- do all sites work as expected, etc. I wonder if I really should have sites like MySpace Videos or video.msn.com in the popular list... Do people embed these often?

(8 files, 12kb)
* Renamed $txt['board_topics_*'] to $txt['topics_*'] to harmonize with posts and redirects, grouped them together, and fixed the few occurrences of $txt['board_topics'] that weren't converted yet. Also removed the ucfirst on processed Posts, Topics and Redirects, since they're guaranteed to have a number before them. (SSI.php, BoardIndex.template.php, MessageIndex.template.php, index.language.php)
! add_js() was using a wrong restarter CDATA, oops. (Subs-Cache.php)
* Some tweaks to the user box. (sections.css)
* First topic post now sports a slightly larger font to differentiate it from the rest. Best used in blog posts. (sections.css)
* Testing other fonts for topic posts. Readability is vital here, and Arial 14px, as cool as it is in the UI, may not be the most suitable for posts. (index.css)

Waste Really? More like breathing space to me.
Floating userbox is okay in theory but will fall apart as soon as a post will start using complex layout like image alignment or tables or code boxes. It would distract attention I'd say.

Yeah it's expensive. A friend of mine used it for years to make scanlations based on translations I was making of a Japanese book. He never told me it wasn't free. But then again, scanlations are pretty much illegal so... :lol:
Anyway, even Komika (free) is better than Comic Sans.

My main issue with Comic Sans is probably when I see it used in web comics because of its name... When people could actually choose the better one -- an actual GOOD looking font for comic reading, like Wild Words.

* Moved media table creation from db_aeva to the regular Wedge installer. db_aeva still needs to be run at this point, but it'll soon be a thing of the past. (db_aeva.php, install.sql)
* Forgot to save the editor, where I had another keyCode to which conversion. (editor.js)

That argument can readily be made of any of the holidays.
Thinking about it, then, every single one of the entries could need to be translated... hmm, new approach needed methinks.

A suggestion. Maybe we could store the md5 for all files *minus* the file version (i.e. we take the file, and substr it to after the @version line, or just remove the comments), and check them against the latest database...? That way, we can modify the version number in one go, but if the file contents themselves are the same, we're good to go. Another perk of this would be that if users had their files corrupted at upload time, they'd be noticed immediately.
Of course it can be seen as an annoyance that were the files to be modified by add-ons, we'd never be able to get their proper md5. But maybe it's a path to explore...?

rev 912
(27 files, 26kb)
* Renamed smfVersion to weVersion and smfVersions to weVersions (also changes the smfVersion setting name in the DB, FYI). Also renamed a few rarely used global JS variables in a similar fashion. (install.php, install.sql, smfinfo.php, upgrade.php, upgrade.sql, current-version.php, detailed-version.php, latest-*.php, mirrors.xml, Class-DB.php, Themes.php, admin.js, TEMPLATES: Admin, ManageSmileys, Packages, Themes)
* Renamed remaining typeof()s to just typeof. (smfinfo.php, latest-themes.php, Aeva-Foxy.php, MessageIndex.template.php, Packages.template.php, Profile.template.php, Themes.template.php, spellcheck.js)
* Normalized all remaining keyCode calls to $.which. (MessageIndex.template.php, zoomedia.js)
- There was no reason to call smf_codeFix since it's always called as needed in the default theme anyway... (Post.template.php)
* One more variable name optimization. (script.js)
@ Note: I'm not 100% sure about documenting all of the files where typeof was changed. Who cares...
