* The permissions page's Simple mode shows empty headers for no reason whatsoever. Also reworked indentation. (ManagePermissions.template.php)

* Globals on two lines, uh? (Profile-Modify.php)

! An annoying bug in Packer makes some servers crash on long strings. Well, on my local server it does, but not on my remote one. I used a quick workaround. Hopefully I can fix the problem at the source in the future... (suggest.js)

I'm with Pete. Plus, if you mostly give dislikes, you're likely to get bad karma over time. So people would just stop disliking altogether.

It's only slower if an error is actually found I believe. So it should only be avoided in loops.

* Every time I see a we:title where a we:cat should be, I really feel the need to change it. More to go, whatever. (Profile.template.php)

* Converted some of the media template into proper Wedge-like templates. Tables are good. But not systematically, eh. (Media.template.php)

- Removed windowbg/windowbg2 mentions from description areas, because description already sets its own background color... It's a big boy now. (Profile.template.php, PersonalMessage.template.php, Help.template.php, GenericMenu.template.php, ViewQuery.php, upgrade.php)

* Added more space in the Delete Account area. If you're going to delete your own account, you may want to get some gasping time. (Profile.template.php)

* Pointless optimizations. (suggest.js, editor.js, Aeva-Foxy.php)

@ It's a pointless commit overall but if you're gonna commit in smaller chunks, so shall I :P

Why would I keep it? It's only another tie to the past I can do without and it means I find myself spending much less time browsing over there for stuff to laugh at - and I don't get dragged into stupid arguments with narrow-minded fools who don't really understand what's going on, and I was fed up of being labelled as a bringer of drama without due cause.
I didn't realize you'd disabled your account as soon as SMF2 Gold was released... That was 3 weeks ago.
Of course I haven't been (much) to sm.org after that, myself... So I could hardly have noticed anything.
Still, it's a shock to see you aren't in the memberlist.

(And as always, the SMF team has yet to take your request into account. Your account can still be browsed.)

I don't need to go there, overall, except to browse for ideas for things to build for Wedge in the future, because I can. Oh, and it means that they're left to their own devices as far as security is concerned,
Which is always fun... Of course, the only one who'll ever know is you. Because if a hacker finds any way to hack into SMF, they probably won't tell. Hundreds of SMF forums, hacked, with no explanation at all... I feel bad for the users most of all.

after I called them out on a mod that allows for arbitrary iframe injection. I burned far far too much time there.
Agreed. Totally agreed.

I don't see that used so often actually...
If you could point me out to some of the uses that bother you... I shall look into it.

I try not to get too involved in these stories these days, but I'm afraid he has a point -- your point really can be interpreted that way.

I'd implement it as a variable, injected through {query_see_topic} rather than injecting a variable as Noisen does,
No no, I do use {query_see_topic}...

As I was surprised by your post, I had a look into it, and indeed I use $user_info['query_see_topic'] in a suspiciously large number of places, but I also use {query_see_topic} 90% of the time really.
There's a possibility I originally used the $user_info version only and then went for the variable later and midway through my changes I thought of something else and then forgot to finish my conversion... I'm not exactly sure, I don't remember, it's been so many years already.

I do have the patch stuff, didn't you put that online originally? 467K sounds about right, named the_big_kahuna.rar. Not at my PC right now, can't check for sure.
I shall have a look.

Maybe it is time for me to resume my work on making this patch smaller...
And maybe even start with query_see_topic. I mean, it's an awful lot of these 467KB!

I guess it depends on the choice of terminology!

I tend to choose self-descript names that can be grasped by noobs, even if it lies about the (bigger) scope of the feature.

(Sorry for the delay, just re-reading through old topics I didn't reply to ;))

rev 823
(6 files, 13kb)

! The mail sending code uses $modSettings['mail_from'] while our admin code was $modSettings['from_email']. (ManageServer.php)

! Fixed Packer to allow for structures such as "for (var something in { object: true })", and added a comment with a link to my bug report and original fix. (Class-Packer.php)

* Rewrote the help text for mail_from. It may have been a bit unclear. At least to me. (Help.english.php)

* Translated new strings to French. (Admin.french.php, Help.french.php)

- Stray comment. (Subs-Post.php)

I'd implement it as that, Noisen is done slightly differently.
I don't get that answer... Noisen style or not Noisen style in Wedge?

query_see_topic is one of these things I'm very happy with, regarding my work on Noisen. The goal of Noisen was really to build a blog+forum platform where anyone would be able to create their own blogs or forums, own them, do with them as they wish.

Which reminds me, OMG! I completely bypassed this in the last few months... I originally implemented hundreds of kilobytes of custom code from Noisen into Wedge, and then I stopped at around 480KB left to implement, and sent the file to Pete so he could look into it and continue my work (if only because at the time I needed a serious break). He implemented a few more of the features and then stopped.

Pete, I just checked and my file was lost during my hard drive apocalypse. I seem to have a backup though, in another place, dated November 22, 2010 and 467KB in size. Can you confirm this is it?

I think I *really* should finish the implementation ASAP. I want it to be in Wedge 1.0. After all, the code is already written -- it just needs to be severely refactored for Wedge... But it's written, it works and I view it as solid because it's been in use for the last 3 years over at Noisen without any issues. (e.g. I actually made a "me-only" topic that if anyone could find, they should report to me and I'd have a present for them. No one ever contacted me about it.)

It's interesting how, in retrospect, much of the features I originally wanted to put into Wedge (i.e. the stuff that gave me the strength to start work on Wedge), were finally put aside in favor of things I'd never have considered originally... It's not even lack of interest. It's just that a whole world suddenly opened in front of me and I had to get a taste of it ;)

But Wedge without its intricate blog system is no Wedge to me. It loses its purpose.
Per-topic permissions should be in the Feature list board. That they're not over there shows I kinda lost my way in the process! It's my thing, I should be doing it!

Well, as soon as I'm done with the Wine redesign, of course!

PS: comment from Milady yesterday night when I asked her which Wine design she preferred: "the new one". Then I asked her, "be more specific, this one or that one?" - "that one." - "but... That's the old one." - "Oh, stop fucking around with your stupid Wedge and go to bed already." :^^;:
