That page shows a commit by Arantor. Why does it also say live627:ssi? Is this some kind of gitty trick?
If it's a commit by John, why is Pete credited for it..?
Nope, it's a commit from live627 .. his branch was named "ssi". Arantor was the one who merged it.

To be fair with Pete: He didn't revert his own commit ;) It was this one which introduced Wedge's db class:

And what's the point of going OOP/MVC..?
Wedge uses OOP where it makes sense. Does Elk do that?
Last time I checked Wedge (a year ago or so) it wasn't true OOP but using singletons all over the place..

Elk is using OOP where it makes sense, yes. We have a coding guideline and we simply follow our own standards:

https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki/Architecture
https://github.com/elkarte/Elkarte/wiki/Mvc

The point of following standards is to make it less complicated for developers and easier extendable. And last but not least to use other common standards such as unit-testing and build-testing (travis ci).

Nao, I would probably have contributed my code and energy to Wedge but I wasn't allowed to do so..  Sadly you (and Pete) never gave me write access to the main repo, thus I moved on at some point.. Sorry.

And please: I'm not up for a battle comparing Elk, Wedge and SMF... We all have wasted more than enough time & energy to complain about SMF, their NPO structure and such stuff. At least I don't have the time nor the passion to start such type of "battle" once again. Elk and Wedge are simply following completely different approaches ..

Yup, I just registered on your board to test that. Got a timeout after returning from my OpenID provider instantly. Now that's a cool feature! I had to use the password-based authentication.

Guess I should fork ElkArte and make it right.
yep, probably a bug or the openID provider is based on stateless OpenID2 which isn't supported yet. We are still using SMF's OpenID implemantation under the hood and this is a stateful one. You're more than welcome to fork and fix it :cool:

...and elk is too young and there are too many cooks in the kitchen IMHO. Thus, they spend most of their time fixing bugs.
Refactoring the whole core to OOP / MVC isn't a simple task and will most likely produce some bugs. Meanwhile we have standardized the action controllers, most of them are free of database queries and use api functions instead for the "low-level" tasks (database queries, file manipulation and so on.)

And we have also added lots of cool new features :cool:  Post by E-Mail, OpenID 2.0, Likes, Spoiler & Footnotes BBC, Gravatars, improved admin and antispam security, drag & drop for sorting boards, custom profile fields and smileys, Video Embedding, Quote to new topic, disregard topics, and much much more..

Don't underestimate ElkArte ;)

and you might note that the past few posts, Arantor and I have been saying the exact same thing. SMF needs two solid, strong leaders. one for dev and one as PM.
Compuart and Amacythe :whistle:

I don't really care. I don't use ads on my pages. I feel they deteriorate the quality feeling of the site. Though I can understand why some people might want them.
AD management is a 'must have' :cool: I need it on all of my forums to cover hosting expenses..

So, what can I say... Thorsten, can you confirm that not only your fix works, but that it doesn't break anything else...?
Yep, didn't found anything suspicious after changing the code.

Using IE8 developer tools, I can see only one difference between native IE8 and IE8 in IE7 compabilty mode, that's  the "inline-block" style,

Archived fixes / IE8: menu broken (with fix)
« on March 22nd, 2012, 12:27 PM »
the menu icons are slightly overlapping in IE8 (see attachment):
proposed fix:
 .menu > li
 display: inline-block
should be changed to  display: inline

but how to upgrade my forum with about 500.000 attachments in different folders?
Not really purge them in one big folder. eh? :)
500.000? I'm shocked ;) I'll add multiple attachments folder handling soon..

So, given that structure, I would have expected to see attachments moved over here. In fact, the only files that were in this folder were the avatars.
hmm, that's weird. I've tested this on at least four different SMF installations and all worked fine..

- try and fix the duplicate key stuff...
Might be related to line line 738.
Code: [Select]
$special_result = $db->query(sprintf($current_data, $_REQUEST['start'], $_REQUEST['start'] + $special_limit - 1) . "\n" . 'LIMIT ' . $special_limit);
I wasn't able to reproduce this issue, even with my 275k test board..
Importing attachments in general is still a bit 'buggy', I know.
Quote from Nao on March 16th, 2012, 07:34 PM
However, about 10 attachments (out of ~875) weren't imported.
And the files existed in the old wedge attachments folder? There's an is_file() check and the database record is only imported, if the file exists.

Some bugs are related to importer bugs.
grrr, the importer is alpha, too  and Wedge.org was a heavily modified SMF version... ;)

Congratualations, great to see Wedge in action :)
