Features / Re: Another optional core feature
« on April 12th, 2011, 12:38 AM »
I would have been more than happy to piss yall off 8 months ago if i had known this exsisted. Lol ive read several thousand posts of arantors on sm.org, and i also read almost all of the aeva media thread there. Ive read many posts of several of the others here. With that said, i did not come here to run shit. I came here to learn and be invovled. But the very complaints that yall have for smf exsist here just as badly but with fewer people. To smf, yall are stupid annoyances. Where im a stupid annouance to yall. One does not have to be present for 5 years or 5 minutes, to be treated decent. It wouldnt have mattered if i had groveled at your feet or approached as an equal. Lets assume the brash and ballsy amarican is talking trash. That way we can ignore everything he says, as bull shit. Yall are not the worlds greatest programmers, and yall do not have to right to tell me to screw off, which you do so vividly. I spose im stupid at programming cause i chose to play ball with my son on my last days off, or maybe i talk to big for fragile hearts. I know exactly what it takes to do what i suggest, that why i havent done it yet. I fucked up and had a kid instead if give birth to the next good line of code. So sue me. Id love to know how yall can work on wedge full time. How the hell do you pay your rent/electricity/car. you dont get noticed in this world by sitting around waiting for something to happen. You get up and do it. I approached yall in the way that i did to say, im here. I have things to say. Valuable things. I cant and wont kiss your ass. You just aint that special to me. There is more to my words than what your seeing. Are you going to care enough to look? Get pissed, ive been pissed for a decade. Youll see the value, soon enough.

Im beginning to think, arantor, that if i suggested you and nao get together and write a fork of smf, that you would disagree in some manner. Not a single thing that i have said on this forum has gotten even the slightest hint of a positive response. Man i could say wedge is the coolest thing since sliced bread and i really do feel the response would be, wtf, that would go against everything smf stands for. Everything i say is not either an insult or something stupid. Ive read almost every public word on this forum, and im giving my best to contributing intellegent thought and discussion. Really? I didnt think i was that dense, but eveb im thinking i dont add up to a pile of rocks. Tell me how in what way having a much more intuitive and active package manager will hurt wedge. Please, im begging you, how is everything that exits my brain a total load of shit? Lol * maybe after he reads this hell actually laugh instead of scowl. * :)

Well yes, but the code and files to support it come in the default package, but a boolean value is default false. Furthermore, i was using that as an example to express the potential of the package manager, which is getting also a good bit of discussion. And also futhers all our goals for a more modular design with out gutting the software and using twists of what we already have in new and exciting ways. Looking at the package manager as more of a module manager for core parts as well as user defined parts. And im really not trying to piss anyone off, this is just an educated hypothesis.

Custom profile fields are only needed when custom profile fields are needed. There is a lot of code that gets ran even when you dont have any custom profilr fields anywhere on the forum. I beleive that this entire concept should be made into a optional core feature. I think that the code, comments, if statements to see if there is any, shouldnt be there unless some admin wishes to have a custom profile feild. A stripped version with a package manager that is linked to dl.wedge.org, would give a seriously customizable site with absolutely nothing the admin doesnt wish to be there. Not all admins will want aeva, or even the blog system, and if they change their mind, they then go to the package manager and download, install, then configure, in just a few clicks and pauses. You could even for the sake of presentation thro in some flash animation, of an arantor stick figure working his ass off just to put a little humor in it. :)

Something that could also be cool is that all wedges come with a lite package and in the package manager an admin can download, and install ( after the forum is installed ), the most updated core packages strait from a special core mod repository on dl.wedge.org. You could then integrate the pakage manager with all the available core/optional mods in that central location. A very good example is windows update and apt-get. Smf has something similar, but it is far from the same. This way you dont have to decide core or not, the site admin installs what they want, from call to aeva, to anything else. And your modders could just upfate their mod and everyone would automatically recieve notification of a new version similar to the smf version checker currently in place.

Once again, thats not what i meant, and im not trying to educate you. My observation was that if you have 10 boards in an admin cat, it might be made more simple to check one set of permissions rather than 10 to see if the cat should be visible or not. Performance wise, this does seem more efficiant, but there may very well be conditions outside my own personal scope making my summarization inaccurate. Everything i say isnt an attack on ones intelegence. :)

From an admistrators point of view, if the forum is large with many moderator and admin categorys, say you got 9 cats a guest can view, 12 for members, 15 for lower mods, 18 for higher mods, 22 for site admins. Thats an emense amount of permissions to set by the board. How does profile settings converge on viewable cats/boards? If a new board is created in an admin cat, it automatically inherits the cats permissions. This comes from me and my site cause i have about 8-9 cats for all, and soon will have some for mods and then some for admins. It seems to me that having cat wide permissions would open some doors for stronger admining. The current way its still doable, this is just a request/suggestion. Maybe we can run a poll on it? See what the populous thinks.

How bout category wide permissions. Currently you have to set each board. Would be convenient for setting a categorys permissions and all the boards inside inherit those permissions unless other wise specified. Im sure a great many would aggree?

As far as the classes are concerned, what i was intending is using classes in an unorthadox way. Its just like putting assignments in if statements, it is bad form, but in some cases, it works perfectly. At this time i cant give a working example if this, and i dont have any idea when i could give an example. Its just balled up in my head and due to bills, i have to work a crap job to pay the bills. I can see it plain as day in my head. I just dont have the time to do it, nor the ability to explain it, obviously. My son wont be so little forever though. All i can say is, someday.

My GF just yesterday got pissed at me for ?talking down? to her. From my perspective, i am simply expressing my thoughts as fully as i can. Not perfectly, but for the most part. Im not sure how explaining my point of view is so offensive at times. And like i tell her, ill tell you, it is not a matter of talking down to you, it is a matter of expression in the only way i know how. As far as writing code for me, you aint wrote a single line for me, and im the last one on earth that would expect you to, unless im paying you. If you look at that thread again on sm.org, youll see i tried several different things, as well as a few that i didnt post. Then i posted the final result of what does work. In its current form, there is a needless second query, when one will do it just fine. I just couldnt get the sql figured out. I wish i could have been programming the last 6 years after school. Then i would have code as examples instead of my lacking social skills. If we met in real life, youd see what i mean, but even like my GF, youd have to except that im different, instead of being pissed at me all the time. I recently pissed off my friend at UC Berkley from saying something that he took a different way from what i meant concerning him working for my website when he graduates. I saw it as the inclusion of a friend, he saw it as me doing something cool abd him working for me. He going to have a BS in computer science, and a minor in mathematics. The guy is absolutely brilliant. Why wouldnt i want him on my team? but he wouldnt be an employee, his title would mirepresent his position in the company. Once another year goes by, hell see what i meant so i aint worried, but a long time friend got pissed at me for basically the same thing. If it werent so fucking nuts, id laugh. I wouldnt be here if i didnt have the utmost respect for you. It does not matter to an extent how you perceive my words, what matters is, what im saying.

Every idea is fresh and clean for me, and all i see is possibilities. I cant remember the name of the game, but its based on chess, you move a knight around the table with the standard 2 and 1 move pattern without hitting the same square twice, but hitting them all. We were writing VB code. I used an intrinsic loop on picture box click events, where my buddy used a different method. His code worked just as good, but it looked totally different. I saw the answer that i wrote in a mental picture when the professor issued the assignment. I could just see it already written. That is the same as any other code i write. I write code by the picture i create in my mind. I cant explain it. I havent wrote a single line of code in an editor for my ads system. Yet the code already exsists in logic in my mind. When i said $context = new wedge(); i visuallized the entire platform running in class constructors with all the different sub classes, boardindex, adminpanel, calendar, etc. How easy it would be to substitue a function in that world. How easy it would be to mod that world. I am not above you, but i am beside you. Maybe all this is language barriers or cultural differences, or maybe im excentric or an asshole, but i can assure you, respecting me as much as i respect you, can only benefit you, and me as well. I may not be your equal in practice, but make no mistake, i am you equal in logic and theory. Men like me need men like you to check us and keep us grounded, and actually bring to life, grand things. I may never could write the code you can, but i damn sure can challenge you to see a different point of view.
