Plugins / Re: Message Index Sorting + New Look
« on December 19th, 2012, 06:57 AM »
Not avatar in display page Arantor, in message index.
And I can safely take it as a no, this is definitely not a plugin you want to make. And I am fine with that. But I really think it is a good plugin though it may not be eficient from various point view which you have already pointed out.
Yes. It may be "filter" that I am trying to say and not "sorting", but whatever you call it, you already admitted that there is no point sorting the topic or author alphabetically. It is there for some or no reason.
Well, as for the look of new message index, I can try to implement that myself via a theme later.
No offence Arantor but you sound a bit sarcastic IMO. No hard feeling Arantor. Keep up the good work. ;)

Message Index Sorting
I do know much about coding. So if you say that it is not efficient, it may not be efficient.
What I am trying to say is basically, the sorting could be improved somewhere somehow. Forum is basically another social platform. If I am following a friend, I can simply go to his profile and check his post. That is one way of doing it. But how about if I have lot of friends. I couldn't be following them all via their profiles. That would be nuts. If there is a menu for message index, I could simply search my freinds' latest posts and read them. If I have ignored users on my list, I might want to see whether they have changed and I would want to remove them from that list. Like I said, if they are very few, I can follow them via their profile. But this is for many.
I might also want to see a highly/lowly rated/liked topic, (like seems one of the feature here). And the list goes on as what I have listed for reasons that this could likely be a plugin that certain admins and users might want to use. You can definitly start with the most important want in your opinion or you may want to make a poll for a more definite answer.
New Look
The look can easily be changed and I can see that wedge has made it a little bit different from SMF. The legend box have been removed and the arrangement is made different.
1. Avatar could be add in here as plugin as well.
2. The look / arrangement can be made better by inserting few last post down the topic instead of beside it.
I can imagine it but not yet translated into any picture yet. But I may provide it here later.

Plugins / Message Index Sorting
« on December 13th, 2012, 11:11 PM »
I am not sure whether this is a right place to ask.
Currently the sorting of Message Index is based on its menu on top.
1. Subject / Started by is sorted by Ascending / Descending A-Z / Z-A
2. Replies / Views is sorted by numbers.
3. Last Post by dates.
I was thinking, if this ordinary can be changed via plugin.
A separate sorting (advanced) menu is created.
A more realistic choice added on top of current ascending and descending choice like A B C... X Y Z for the first item. Because I may want to find started by user with starting of C or topic starts with S.
More ways of sorting can be added like sort by highly rated or lowly rated, locked or unlocked or hidden or solved, new or read, friends or ignored or warned or monitored poster inside, first post by dates etc...
Just a thought... :)

The Pub / Re: Looking for volunteers to test the Wedge private alpha!
« on December 13th, 2012, 04:29 PM »1 - How long have you been a SMF user? (Approximately...)
2 - If you're planning to use Wedge on a live forum, post its URL.
3 - How much daily time you think you can devote to testing Wedge. (If you're planning to use it on a live forum, you can also rely on your users to help test it.) Please keep in mind that we'd like to keep the private alpha period relatively short (no more than a couple of weeks would be ideal), so I'm really asking about the next couple of weeks mainly. (Well, at least the first couple of weeks after the initial release.)
4 - Is there a feature in Wedge that you're most interested in? Something you'll focus your testing on, etc... Or just something you're just excited to use!
