Not by our doing (can't speak for the hoster, but since it's a VPS they shouldn't have done anything either). One thing I am noting now I'm looking at this properly, all the files in the tmp folder that I've just uploaded to test are owned by nobody:nobody (and are 0644 in perms), when Apache runs as www-data:www-data - that'd be the cause, right?

Again, and just like ~DS~, I know there's no support for Aeva, but we're having a really weird problem with v2.04. All of a sudden, files aren't uploading correctly; it looks for all the world like they are stalling in the tmp folder. Any hints? Anyone?

Features / Re: Fixing mismatched BBCode
« on December 6th, 2011, 12:49 PM »Which makes me think... I've often seen cases of people (including me, TBH) surrounding quotes with two closers instead of an opener and a closer. I'm trying to figure out a way to fix these automatically, but honestly it's hard to tell... :-/
UPDATE: If they don't match, check that the closer count if an odd number, find the first closer *after* the last valid closer and make it an opener, rinse, repeat...

Now I have time to come back and look properly, I've realised I select the wrong option :unsure:
If I could change my vote, I'm torn between "same as SMF" (the one Pete voted for) and the "same as Google+ circles" below it. I can see value in both approaches.
Just to add, I think I'd vote "same as Google+ circles", with the caveat that while I wouldn't want ordinary members having these facilities available to them, I can see them being useful to staff.

I'm quite a fan of XML via PHP, so you have my blessing.

Not sure if this is what you are expecting to hear Pete, but I love the idea of "written" rules for post moderation. As you intimated, the current way (in SMF) is just a nuclear CF, and it can't go away quickly enough for my liking.
A "structured language" approach (not SQL per say, but that kind of approach, where you have a set of primitives to work from) would be far simpler for admins to grok IMO. Heck, I'd not even be terribly upset if you go down the Outlook Rules path and have a non-immutable "pre configured" set of primitives to plug together (a little upset, sure, but no more than that ;))

Off-topic / Re: Anyone know Fancybox?
« on November 21st, 2011, 01:10 PM »
Well, using a post from you Nao, I had a play with ColorBox and that's both easy to understand and does what I want it to do, so I'll use that :eheh:
FYI, should perhaps have mentioned, but this isn't an SMF/Wedge project (I wish it were, it'd be a whole lot easier...), so mods for either/both (while a welcome distraction) aren't very much help ;)

If I'm writing new code, I document. If I'm modifying other people's code, I don't.

Off-topic / Anyone know Fancybox?

I'm trying to use Fancybox for a project I'm doing, and I can't get the damn thing to work at all >:(
I've followed their "How To Use" to the letter, but I still don't get a fancybox. If any of you out there know it and can either give me a 101 on it (or look at my code and point out where I've gone wrong) I'd be most grateful.

"+1" and "Like" on that, thank you sir. I'm going to go with the "don't be a tool and leave the page without saving" option, I think (assuming Mantis isn't hooking it itself, but the little I do know about MantisBT suggests they aren't (they are pretty much "PHP and nowt else...").

Plugins / Re: Using permissions in plugins
« on October 26th, 2011, 10:37 AM »I honestly can't think of a less effective way to do it, to the point where not providing a link would almost be better. Since it would require each plugin indicating its permissions UI to the core UI (and we all know how badly mod authors generally do at 'doing any more work than they absolutely have to'), I might as well just encourage them not to bridge the two like that, and instead just have them integrate permissions into the core UI through the normal fashion. No point reinventing the wheel like that.
EDIT: added four extra words that make it even more clear what the thought experiment expectation is.
