Other software / Re : SMF reaction to 'unused, useless globals'
« on November 18th, 2013, 10:58 PM »Bloc, I don't have access to that topic, even as a friend.
Until a while ago that board was open to friends as well, apparently now[1] the board has been closed down[2].

Off-topic / Re: git hiccups
« on October 21st, 2013, 08:57 PM »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..?
And if it is, why does he use Wedge terminology, when he's made very clear (by his silence mostly!) that he chose not to keep working on the Wedge codebase?
Ops, didn't see TE's post.

« on October 21st, 2013, 02:35 PM »Fact is, all he's been doing at SMF 2.1 is adding features that are taken STRAIGHT from Wedge. In fact, some of his commits (look at his 05be2b92 revert) have Wedge code in them, such as wesql::query, if proof was needed that he didn't just take his 'ideas', he was taking his code, too.

Following some "internal" discussions I came up with my own version of the credits:

:P (heck there is a typo lol)

Features / Re: More useless nonsense
« on June 30th, 2013, 09:20 PM »I find it interesting that WordPress does not keep a view count per article. Or if it does, it's not actually shown in their ACP anywhere I can find. I wonder what the logic of not doing so is.
There are certainly cases on sm.org of threads having obscenely high view counts unnaturally quickly (rising tens of thousands inside an hour)

« on June 28th, 2013, 07:35 PM »@emanuele, are you doing it in Elk, then..? ;)
* emanuele haz to think about it
Yeah, topic views aren't very important in general, but sometimes -- sometimes -- when you're posting a message and you're desperate for an answer, looking at the view count is a way to pass the time, ah ah...
50 messages! :D

Features / Re: Culmination of Permissions Ruminations
« on June 5th, 2013, 04:00 PM »
Interesting discussion! :DQuote As you underlined an important thing would be to have groups able to inherit permissions (or whatever) when post count increases (i.e. 0+, 50+, 100+ as you described).
This is probably the most useful thing about post-based groups.
Not sure how else use them since I always prefer to set my permissions in stone. :PQuote Move groups to a separate table is something I was considering me too, though I've never been in the mood of actually do it (mainly because I find a pita write the upgrade scripts... :angel: )Quote That (having "regular member" lost when changing the primary group) is one of the things that confuses people more than anything else I think (at least it is frequently confusing for me :P).Quote That's one of the few things that is not in a public board at ElkArte (mainly because the proposal was submitted as a security/privacy issue), the current "SMF-like" admin has a lot more power than usually needed for the classic "co-admin".
What I had in mind can be sort of summarised in two admin "roles": one that has access to the server (and so it can do *anything*, in fact the current SMF-like admin), and another one that doesn't have access to the server and so he can still do many "admin" things, but not any that requires some server interaction (mods, themes, server settings, etc.).
I don't necessarily mean there should be two groups, but that some permissions should be redistributed and separated from the admin_forum.
tl:dr; do we actually *need* or *want* post count permissions? It seems like it has served to confuse people more than it has helped them.
This is probably the most useful thing about post-based groups.

tl:dr; The idea of primary/secondary groups is obsolete, I want to move them to a separate table, and I have funky ideas about changing post count groups including their permissions if we still want them.
Also tl:dr; I would explicitly add *everyone* to 'Regular Members' if they are logged in. This seems more logical to me that the current situation which is a by-product of the primary/secondary group antics.
tl:dr; We could reformulate admin powers to be less overarching and more granular. This has consequences for management too.

Just to let me drop Opera 11 on windows, would you mind delete from the log table the entries that prevent me from logging? :angel:

This is the closest thing to a rule you may find:
http://www.simplemachines.org/about/values.php
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/User:AngelinaBelle/SMF_team_manual (mostly outdated but should be still sort of valid)
and I wouldn't have (and want) anything more than that to define the acceptable behaviour of a person in an environment (heck I've never found rules on how to behave when I enter a pub, I just use my brain and my common sense).
If I may express my opinion [1]:
1) you were in the wrong discussion for deciding what is a problem with SMF and what not (the correct topic was the one opened by rimh101 in bug reports, every other topic is mostly related to personal preferences unless is spotted by someone that will actually *do* something in relation to SMF).
2) if you are so picky to nitpick on the words usage you may first notice if the person you are nitpicking is writing an English that is prone to be nitpicked (do note that rimh101's English is not perfect, so maybe the word "problem" has two different meanings for him and for you).
That said I'm t interested in debating more than this, so do not expect any answer from me on this topic any more (I may, but it would just be a lucky event if I do).
Also: do not waste time nitpicking my English, I'm not a native English speaker and I learned it in a quite advanced age, so it's far from good.
