Bah, I missed the array_flip, thinking you were just doing the isset check on it at the end and that it wouldn't work as expected then...
So it was intentional? Why would you replace an isset with an in_array, generally speaking..?

Also re: beginning of the topic:
- XML-RPC, what's your current opinion on this? Our discussion on trackbacks made me want to implement this without using that protocol. I still think it'd be best to avoid it, but we could 'simply' add it, and allow blog authors to be the only ones allowed to view a trackback.
- Posting from email: did you look into their code, then? Is there any magic behind it?
Bump!

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. The admin area doesn't need as much attention as the front end, at least when it comes to these details.

Small remark on rev 901. ManageSettings.php got screwed up during your merge operation. You cancelled my changes in the timezone retrieval loop, but didn't cancel the line just before it that did an array_flip(). As a result, it's broken. I've restored my copy (which uses isset() instead of in_array() and should thus be faster), I'll commit it again when I have something else to commit (other than minor details in the ManageMedia template.)

Except that users with red/green colour blindness had real trouble differentiating them. (And R/G colour blindness is the most predominant form, more common in males, too)
Ah, color blindness... I never seem to be able to take that into consideration when doing my stuff.

http://www.cosc.brocku.ca/~bockusd/3p94/webui1.pdf has the full thing for now, it's well worth a read even though it looks like it's years out of date, because the principles it talks about are still true now.
It's not really out of date, as .net Magazine published a few months ago an article on colors and their cultural impact. It seems to be using the same data but it explains it over a couple of pages. I understood from it that the only 'safe' colors to use are non-primary colors really... :P

Note that this doesn't mean we should change anything that we have, because for the users who will most likely use Wedge, they're in the Western Europe/US group, which generally means we have similar cultural connotations for colour (green = good, red = danger/bad, that sort of thing), but it is worth being aware of it, I find.
Exactly -- we're building for the Western area. We can worry about the rest of the world later. ;)

Yeah, that's what I meant; I've fixed the loop myself separately, but I'll fix it when I commit what I do have.
Okay. Don't forget to merge before, to avoid conflicts.

Yes, it can be used more, because it's not heavy in itself, it's only heavy if comma_format wasn't being used already, but the places that occurs are not common.
It's really not heavy in the end. I did some benchmarking and it's barely twice slower than calling strpos(), for instance. Well, after all it's just some hardware string manipulation if I may say. And usually on short strings... Still, I optimized it a bit more in rev 900.

So, who's going to convert the rest of the plural thingies?
That one's on my todo list.
I've dealt with the existing _n plurals in rev 900, too. And added one that was in the index language file. Should be a good start ;)

Note to self: merge aeva_utf2entities() into westr::cut().

And another try... This time with PT Sans.

I'm starting to get the hang of these vector drawing programs. It's the main point of my work on this logo really. I'm getting experience and all.

Still, I wouldn't mind getting some feedback... :P

rev 900
(7 files, 14kb)

+ Added format_comma parameter to number_context(), allowing to disable comma formatting in specific cases. (Subs.php)

+ Optimized comma_format() to skip the (albeit very fast) number_format() call if the number is an integer (no decimal separator) and has less than 4 digits (no thousands separator). Performance is about 25% slower if the test fails, and 400% faster if it succeeds. (Subs.php)

! Searched PM messages didn't show the number of users in a replied PM, unlike other areas in Wedge. (PersonalMessage.php)

- Deleted wedge_checkReplied, as it was basically an early draft of number_context(). (PersonalMessage.php)

* Number of moderator reports now uses number_context(). (index.template.php, index.language.php)

* draftAutoPurge now uses number_context(), as originally intended. (PersonalMessage.template.php, Profile.template.php)

rev 899
(11 files, 12kb)

* Upped the minimum PHP version to 5.2.3, so we can use the double_encode parameter on htmlspecialchars(). (install.php, readme_*.html, webinstall.php, upgrade.php, Class-String.php)

* Changed is_integer() to is_int() or a version that's approximately twice faster, (int) $number === $number. (smf_api.php, Class-String.php, Aeva-Subs-Vital.php)

* jQuerification of packman's file permission page. (Packages.template.php)

! Fixed folder icon alignment and padding in file permission page. (Packages.template.php)

@ NB: big commit today, so I'm splitting it in two. The next one will be there in a few.

Is my fix okay for you? Feel free to rewrite it... I only fixed the error, really.
I haven't looked (been way too busy with stuff) but I suspect it's similar to the one I have on my local copy, which also has the ability to load the timezone from the members table as well.
Again, I didn't touch the timezone code. I only fixed the loop that retrieves them, to ensure it won't generate a warning on the list (,) code (since UTC doesn't have a comma and thus throws out an error when splitting it.)

Your number convert function -- isn't he comma_format stuff going to kill performance if used on a larger scale...?
Not really, no, because it's not actually used all that often in the scheme of things.
I suppose we could have used it more, though ;)

Almost wonder if wiki + threaded discussion would work better for others. Forums can't do everything ;)
But one of my points is that Wedge is not 'simply' forum software... :^^;:

Which means I really should've registered an account here before leeching all the informations into a rather noobish blog post!  :eheh:
Doesn't matter, you're still, AFAIK, the first guy to ever actually blog about Wedge :P
(i.e. posting on a blog to raise Wedge awereness.)

Given how Wedge links are being censored off simplemachines.org, it's the only way we can make ourselves heard of.

@Rusty> Actually, I spend a lot of time fixing *all* browsers... Because they're not all as good as Opera when it comes to following standards... :whistle:
Of course, IE6 is the worst of all, but considering I'm spending less and less time giving a shit about it... By the time we're out, it'll be used by less than 10% of users, *and* most of these are in China and Korea anyway. Wedge's target is primarily English and French speaking countries.
