I'd glad to see you back at work, Pete :)
I hope it's not because of the couple of sour remarks I made the last few days... Otherwise it's going to encourage me to be even more cynical :lol:

I just want to let you know that I would help if I knew PHP. I'm only a python guy, so I know how hard it is to make something, and it take months, years even. Hell, I've been working on one program for 2 or 3 years, and it's still nowhere near completion.
This is the first time I'm in that situation, myself. My first piece of software, I was obviously a total unknown, and I released new versions every other month or so, so people were never calling it vaporware... Aeva Media, when I did the renaming etc, I think it took about six months between the last SMG and the first AeMe, maybe less, anyway everything was cool too.
Wedge... Not so much.
But then again, it's two years. Well, technically, a bit over a year since we made the announcement. And nearly a year since my first tentative release date... Eh. That's pretty much an extra life I lost in this. A year in the merde.
I'm still a total unknown :) Haha

I have a lot of people that have plainly lost interest in it because it's taking so long. That's hard to take in, that I'm losing people who were initially excited in it.
Your signature's? Well, your forum seems to be running phpBB, that's funny ;) (Although it's a theme I never saw before..!)
Yeah, it's running phpBB because... well... I don't know why. It was mainly because that was an awesome theme :P

What's the software about?
Depends on which one:
Pivot: Revolution - A continuation of the Stick figure animator, Pivot. It adds a lot of new features, but is still under development, not even alpha.
Anansi CalcPad - I wrote it for Raindolf Owusu in Africa. It's basically a simple calculator that is also a journal and also does news aggregation.
Seafire WebBrowser - Probably self explanatory, but I'm also debating just cancelling this one. There is so many good web browsers out there, that there isn't much need for another. Also, I'm trying to concentrate my efforts down.

What you are making is going to be amazing, I have no doubt. The only way I can help, that I know of, is to spread word about Wedge. I can't donate, as I don't have money, and I can't code because I only know HTML, some CSS, VERY LITTLE JavaScript, and literally no PHP, besides that <? opens PHP and > closes (I think... But what do I know? I failed to write a phpinfo file... I googled it after failing to write it myself.)
HTML and CSS is enough to help! Submitting improvements to my CSS, etc... Unfortunately I'm way too busy in so many areas, I just can't keep up with the 'clean' CSS, and I tend to add bloat too easily.
Where could I help, exactly? Like, where would I be able to see the CSS/HTML :P

Don't get discouraged by the people that hate on it.
I'm not discouraged, personally... I'll never be. I enjoy making Wedge too much. Of course, it's also due to the fact that every time I stumble upon something I don't like, I'll push it aside and focus on Wess or something else instead... :^^;:
I'm glad to hear that :) I can't wait to see it running on my site :P :D

You started making Wedge because you were dissatisfied with how SMF was going,
With the team obviously, more than with the software itself. (Otherwise we would have forked some other software...)
We wanted to keep contributing to it, but without the extra hassle.
Yeah, I didn't really clarify that enough, did I :P I meant the team, but... oh well! :P
Quote
It's 'nearly' too bad that the team problems are now largely solved and some good devs are at work on SMF 2.1 and we're basically going to clash with it when it'd be best to merge them or something ;)
Yeah, that'd be pretty interesting to see their reply to that xD

You and Nao are inspirations to me. Why? Because you guys have been able to garner so much attention to something not even released yet. You have been able to garner a cult following, when I can't even get more than 1000 downloads on one released app.
We have 220 likes for Wedge on Facebook... I don't call that a cult following. It's not even a tenth of SMF's likes...
I don't expect Wedge to be a smash hit, really. I've known what a smash hit is -- back in 1998. By 2001 my software had been downloaded in the hundreds of thousands. (Millions?) Thankfully, I'm not desperate to reproduce that here... First because it's even more of a niche, and secondly because I'm not planning to make money off Wedge, ah ah... (Stupid me.)
Well, 220 likes is more than my 10-20 likes ;)

You guys have a mindset that transferred to me: I want to make something I would enjoy using, and release it when I feel that it would be a good thing to use.
It's so much more complicated than that, unfortunately... :(
Yeah, but that was just the simple explanation of it :P

Off-topic / Maybe you guys know something about Wordpress here...
« on September 17th, 2012, 06:06 AM »
So this is a more advanced question... I think.

I'm trying to use WordPress with SSL. It works mostly fine. Apart from this:

I'm forcing sitewide SSL by using .htaccess. Once WordPress edits the .htaccess to change the permalink structure, it fails.

Here's the htaccess:
Code: [Select]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*\.)*seafiresoftware.org$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.seafiresoftware.org/$1 [R]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngineOn
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
I get a 302 Found error:
Quote
Found

The document has moved here.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Clicking Here fails, as it redirects to http and not https.

There is an attached picture for the plugins

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Don't get discouraged by the people that hate on it. There is many more people loving that it will be out, even in alpha, soon. You need to get back in the mindset that what the rest of the people want does not matter. You set out to make something you would enjoy using. THAT is what matters. I make programs because they will help me, or I have always wanted to make it. You started making Wedge because you were dissatisfied with how SMF was going, and wanted to make something that improved upon it's base. Keep that mindset.

I too am more of a lurker than a poster right now. I have been watching Wedge since I first learned about it. I read about it in the post you first made about it, before it had a name. I loved the idea, and have been waiting since.

I want to use Wedge, and I checked every month as well. Since I've seen topics saying "Getting ready for an alpha release...," I've been checking once to three times a week :) I'm REALLY excited for Wedge.

I agree with Aranator and Nao here.

The likelyhood of shutting down the Top-Level DNS servers is really next to zero. If that were to happen, I would be shocked into a coma for the rest of my life.

Sweet :) I'm definitely going to see how this is? I'm going to make a demo site for that! :)

The following modules are being developed in the converted:

- SMF 1.1 to Wedge
- SMF 2.0 to Wedge
- phpBB 3 to Wedge
- Burning Board 3.1 to Wedge
- vBulletin 4 to Wedge
- MyBB 1.6 to Wedge
- WordPress 3 (!!) to Wedge

Except for the SMF 2.0 importer which I personally stress-tested (and unfortunately discovered some minor bugs after we went live with the Wedge makeover :P), they're all relatively untested.

Considering that there are many import scripts for SMF 2.0, anyone can simply attempt to update their AverageShmuck forum to an SMF 2.0 forum to a Wedge 0.1 forum. :)
Goodie! :) This will really be awesome! :D Wordpress 3? That sounds interesting..... I am really intrigued with that haha

:) Just checking! I know you guys are developing for what you need/want first, then what people want last.  (Which I do the same thing with my programs xD) So I wasn't sure if it had been done yet :)

Oh yeah, didn't really think about that :) i will definitely spend some time studying it. I've wanted to learn PHP for a long time, this may make it easier to do :) Not sure about that, but it will definitely make it very interesting.

Sweet. I know a bit of JavaScript. So the only (hook?/thing?) I would have to use is the template_page_index function? I don't know how quickly it would be made, but it will be a fun project for me to work on :)

Wow, that is a lot longer than any of my programs have come near. My most feature-complete program (with only 3 features missing, namely, printing, print preview, and page setup) is only ~400 lines of code. That's counting comments haha

If you ever end up releasing this under an open-source license, I will love to see the code, it sounds like it'd be an amazing learning experience.

You're welcome :)

I will take on the feat of learning PHP to make this plugin! I'm the vulture you mentioned :P

I regularly scroll using the keyboard since Linux + My mousepad on my laptop don't really like the scrolling using it. :)

Once I get to take a look at any hooks I might need and anything else, I will get looking at it :)

Sweet, I guess I will just start attaching photos than uploading them to a site haa :)

As for that, I would definitely understand that. Taking on such a massive fork would be crazy. It would be like expecting that forking the Linux Kernel and changing the code to improve it would introduce exactly 0 bugs.

I wish you all the luck in the world! :)

I did a search for this, and didn't find this exactly, so I thought I would add this real quick. See what Arantor and Nao think!

So, basically, I was reading a... rather long topic and thought of this for quick navigating. Why not make the arrow keys navigate the pages? I don't know if it possible with PHP or any web language (it might be? I am not too smart with that)

It would be sweet in my opinion. I'm kind of a keyboard-shortcut guy haha
