At 63 I am probably the oldest member here and as I was brought up in the pre-politically correct age, I'm going to call it as I see it; if I unintentionally ruffle a few feathers, then so be it.
Firstly, both Nao and Pete should be thanked not only for their tireless work on the Wedge project but for being so forthright and open with each other and with us. Pete's a self-confessed introvert - though you wouldn't know it from his prolific postings - and I suspect it took him a lot of courage to expose his true inner feelings in a semi-public forum; Nao is more garrulous. Both have proven track records as software developers, certainly for SMF type software and both are perfectionists - Nao is well-known for trimming every redundant byte from JS scripts, for example, and his Mahjong game is simply beautiful.
There appears to be some criticism of Pete's fewer code commits whilst Nao commits more frequently. It seems to me that this simply a difference in style: Pete, being more introverted, keeps his code 'close to his chest' whilst he hones and perfects it; it's a matter of pride to him that code he commits works as flawlessly as possible. Nao is more of a 'write-commit-test-edit-recommit' person. Neither of their personal work flows is better or worse than the other, they're just different approaches. But was it really necessary for Pete to feel that he was being treated like some errant schoolboy whose homework was being marked by his teacher and thereby undermine his self-esteem to the point where he feels he can no longer work on the project?
One issue that has cropped-up very recently is that of restricting the customization of Wedge's look and feel. Nao has designed some very attractive themes but - and here I agree with Pete - the only major difference between two sites running Wedge may be the colours employed and that would be a Big Mistake, in my view. It could well be, for example, that a Forum owner doesn't want the standard sidebar to appear in "Message View" and only on the "Board View" ('Home' Page) - that would certainly be my personal preference FWIW.
Given Pete's knowledge, experience and amount of thought he has put into Wedge, as well as his suggestions for making it better, I find it a very sad state of affairs that he feels he can no longer contribute to the project. I truly hope that he and Nao can come to some understanding which would allow Pete to continue participating in an advisory role - if nothing else. And if he does, Nao, I also hope you will listen to him and pay heed to his advice!
As for the gentleman who suggested that Pete should "snap out of it" and "man up", I have nothing but contempt for those remarks and I suggest that you, sir, show some humility and compassion for your fellow man.
Finally, @Arantor: Pete, thank you for your kind words, encouragement and advice last year when I was developing the Slideshow. I still have hopes that you will incorporate it as a Wedge Plug-In!

Yes, because May 12, 2013 is more than one year ago.Quote This is my last post here over a year ago

Your latest has my vote. It reminds me of Concorde - the finest aircraft ever to take to the skies and the brilliant cooperative effort of Britain and France. Just like Wedge!

- Is this a mod for SMF or a plugin for Wedge?
- Is this any good? (I suppose it is, otherwise there wouldn't be two pages... :P)
- Why the huge filesize?
- Is this topic a request to include this in Wedge?
The fixes I added into 1.3.5 turned-out to be unnecessary and I've removed them. It's only a minor change but it does affect both of the PHP modules, so I'm attaching v1.3.5a to this post.

Thanks Kindred :)
Unfortunately some bugs got through and may show up in your Forum's Error Log; sorry about that :blush:
I am attaching to this post the archive of what I would consider the first releasable version (1.1.0). As well as squashing all the bugs I could find, I've considerably enhanced the documentation, mostly in the two main PHP files.
Other changes/enhancements include:
Arantor: I would be very interested to learn what would be required to turn my effort into a Wedge plug-in :)

Other changes/enhancements include:
- Full support for Aeva 'embed' as well as 'image' types - you can now choose one or both (or none!). I've not included either 'audio' or 'video' types since there's no player.
- There's now no need to provide or define a static image when adding embedded videos. Simply define that member ('picurl') as "" and a default blank image will be substituted. However, if captioning is active, captions will not be included for that video item - captioning only applies to non-blank images.
- Added "guardian" index.php files to all directories to prevent listing, downloads etc.
- The "Re: " prefix to message titles is now stripped-off when preparing the captions for attached pictures.
- Removed all unnecessary variables and generally tidied-up the code.
Arantor: I would be very interested to learn what would be required to turn my effort into a Wedge plug-in :)
