The Pub / Re: Wedge on lighttpd or nginx
« on July 8th, 2011, 02:50 PM »
I was just answering to his question in case he phrased it badly, i.e. he wanted to know if new URL schemes could be added without rewriting the htaccess itself (since it requires some prior knowledge). In PHP at least you can do without regex, even if it's strongly recommended to use them.

Just redirect all missing files to index.php, either through ErrorDocument 404 (very bad idea since it fills the error log instead of the access log), or a rewrite rule on -f and -d parameters (missing file/folder).
Wedge comes with its own pre-made .htaccess with includes these for our pretty url implementation.

rev 843 - aka the "I didn't plan to work on that AT ALL today..." commit.
(13 files, 21kb)
* Rewrote quote, code and php BBCode to use HTML5 header and footer tags, harmonize their markup altogether and provide the ability to style the entire quote/code/php area, e.g. get the same width in headers and footers as in quote boxes. The code parser in install.sql is a bit hackish, but the original wasn't very clean to begin with. Oh, and it's untested in Warm and Wuthering. (install.sql, ssi_examples.php, bbc_test.php or whatever, Printpage.template.php, index.css, index.ie6.css, report.css, sections.css, Warm/index.css, Wuthering/index.css)
* Cleaner way of alternating quote colors. It doesn't work in IE6, but *who* exactly cares about alternating quotes in IE6? Get a life! (Subs-BBC.php, index.css)
* 'Last Modified' field is now shown in a much less obvious font color, by popular request (that is, one person. And me. Don't deny it, I'm popular. Chicks dig me.) (sections.css)
! 'on' was repeated twice in quote tags, because of the use of on_timeformat(). (install.sql)
! The French translation for 'Quote' in the quote boxes was 'Citer'... The actual verb. Reminds me of the $txt['reply'] bug report I made years ago, ahh... Good times. Well, time to fix that, innit? (install.sql, index.language.php)

AAAAND... The big commit! Comment away! Compare with the demo site!
rev 840
(6 files, 22kb) (Wait, what... ONLY 22kb?!?! REFUND!!!)
* Changed menu animation to show it coming from below, rather than from above. (index.css, script.js)
* Many, MANY styling changes... Documenting them in order of appearance in the index file. Also please read the notes for suggestions. (index.css)
* Main font was changed from Verdana to Arial.
* Left and right borders are now black with a subtle gradient at the top. Main content padding was adjusted accordingly. (Also index.ie6.css)
! Fixed margin on first title header in sidebar.
! Fixed link color in sidebar for 'Unread posts' etc.
! Sidebar could be shown below other elements in some situations.
! Fixed details in the top section. (Also index.ie6.css, index.ie7.css)
+ Renamed $big_font to $head_font (font for bigger text like headers), and added $menu_font (menu font), for more flexibility.
* $head_font is set to PT Sans by default.
- No longer showing the Wedge logo in the upper header. The Wedge triangle in the footer is enough in my opinion.
- Removed orange lines in the header and footer (leaving them in .cat), and replaced them with grayish lines that are the exactly median color between the wine shades and white.
* Linktree color set to gray when not clickable, e.g. "Moderator" mention.
* Changed footer link colors and layout.
* An easter egg comment was actually wrong. Just rewatched this and fixed the quote. I think it's worth mentioning that I'm serious even about the stupid stuff.
* A slightly more readable legend for fieldsets in the admin homepage. Note: IE6 screws up the background in all situations. Ah well.
- Removed border from .wrc class, e.g. topic posts. Actually I just commented it out... Just in case.
* Reset text color in windowbg to #444 instead of pure black. It doesn't hurt readability, and with ClearType it really renders more smoothly.
* Changed windowbg color to light gray. Note: original was #f9f6f0. It MIGHT be better than the new one... Needs some testing.
* Input buttons now get a forced height, to compensate (a bit) for cross-browser inconsistency.
+ Added a subtle gradient to input buttons.
* Changed selected top menu items to be in the same rounded box than hover effects, instead of looking like they're connected to the bottom. This is due to inconsistencies in IE and Safari Mobile. And frankly it got old quickly anyway. Should be either made stronger, or removed entirely. Which I did.
* Forcing a height on menu items, because, once again, of browser inconsistency...
* Submenu are now vertically aligned with the top menu's gray bottom border. It's a detail but it's important.
* Changed selected top menu item background from orange to dark greenish. Subtle is the new black.
- No longer forcing smalltext classes to use the default font family.
* Changed background color for quotes, and chose alternating colors to match their parent windowbg.
* Moved post font definition to sections.css.
- Couldn't find a reason for overflow:auto to be applied to dd tags at this point.
* dfn tags now styled with default font.
! Renamed #rss to #feed. (Note: this is why it failed for you, Pete. I had yet to commit that.)
* Category headers now use Arial on links. (In case you have PT Sans installed. Which is unlikely. Oh well.)
* Extra padding for icons in category headers. I'm sure it'll fail in some browsers though... Been there done that.
* More changes on text styling in headers.
* Very subtle changes on mini-header styling (h6 tag) and button lists.
* Now going for the many changes in section.css, which is basically index.css for specific areas of Wedge. (sections.css)
* Board names in board index now use $head_font.
* Added proper padding around stats in the homepage sidebar. (Also index.ie6.css)
* Moderator links now use the default font.
* Restyled previous/next topic links. Still not happy though...
* Restyled #top_subject. This totally breaks the usual $head_font setting though...
* Ensure that topic titles (as reproduced in individual posts) get properly broken with a text ellipsis if the browser supports it.
* Now using display: table on the title/date/actions header in individual posts. This is totally gonna break some browsers... (Also index.ie6.css, index.ie7.css, index.ie8.css)
* Also using $head_font on user names now, in both posts and profiles.
* Forcing Verdana on user menu items. Again, it breaks the self-imposed standard, but I've gotten used to that one... Uh. Can be changed, after all.
* Moved Split Topic and Merge Posts buttons to the right of the action list. They should have been together from the beginning, even though they're not directly related. Also fixed horizontal icon alignments.
* Setting a maximum height and overflow on the smiley box, as promised.

« on July 6th, 2011, 08:22 PM »It does work quite well, though I haven't tried 3D gaming on it. As for installing XP mode, if you have an ISO, boot off it in VirtualBox.Quote Will I have to go and look into VirtualBox again? And what do I do to install XP Mode on it?
Apparently it can be installed but not activated. Uh.
Anyway, I've tried an (unactivated) original XP ISO in VirtualBox and it's way better. It's faster, and it's faster to load too... XP Mode takes about 20-30 seconds to launch, while VirtualBox+XP takes about 5 seconds! Yay! Now that's some loading time worthy of my computer! (Especially in an emulator state!)
Very, but at the same time, anything that needs to be run at startup as an admin permission probably should be running as a system service instead anyway (which means it automatically gets higher permissions). Unfortunately it's not the sort of thing you can just magically make work, stuff needs to be able to be run as a service to work properly.

I think it's something we could (should?) add indeed...
Added to my to-do-list, with lower priority though. (But it should be quick to implement.)

Yeah, but what when my games fail... :P
Will I have to go and look into VirtualBox again? And what do I do to install XP Mode on it? :lol:
Oh, while I'm at it... Win7 has a beautiful bug. If you put an admin program into the Startup folder, it will never run it. I have to manually launch them from the startup folder, and confirm the dialog box to run it in admin mode. If I don't run my apps in admin mode (in the shortcut), then they launch... Albeit with reduced permissions that make them completely useless.
Isn't that swell?

I've installed XP Mode on my Win7 and I'm upset... Supposedly this was to be a simulation of any WinXP program in Win7, but the graphic drivers supplied to XP are for a standard S3 Trio card... Meaning I can't run any 3D games on it!
And *of course*, the program I really need to run on XP Mode is a 3D one... <_<
And isn't XP Mode supposed to provide shortcuts to its programs within the Win7 start menu? I don't see any shortcut to IE6 there...
Also, I don't get why it's taking up 3GB of my hard drive space... The ISO is only 500MB and it's using only a few MB of disk space for now... Tss.
Oh, and that stock XP install... I didn't remember it sucked so much!
