The Pub / Re: The Cookie Law (in the UK at least)
« on June 15th, 2012, 12:31 AM »
The way I see it is that all that's required is a line in the registration agreement to you're sites terms & conditions and privacy policy and just have a one or two line'r about cookies that are used. If someone registers then it's there own bad for not reading the too pages and you're covered.

It's a 10 minutes job for a site admin and if the site admin is worried about it they'll implement it. No need for forum software to include cookie laws/regulations unless there legally threatened.

guys, how can I download this plugin?
Just curious as to what you're looking for and what you intend to do as Wedge hasn't even been released yet?

It was just a question, relax. Point taken, I was merely trying to give some constructive feedback.

Interesting, I would have thought it a bug, are you stuck to the way it works as it shouldn't be much work to refresh the containing section tag for the thoughts if you're on the main page adding thoughts on the right!?

Minor bug.

If you add a new thought on the right in the 'Thought' section you have to refresh the page for it to display. But if you reply to a thought it will automatically refresh and display.

I get you, sure there are many Irish sayings that people outside of Ireland just don't get. :)

I've seem this more than enough times with development work, a developer will leave a line like this if they're unable to get a certain function working on the value being assigned so they remove the code that's not working and just end up leaving the variable assigned to itself so they know where to come back to but a lot of the time is forgotten about.

I've seen it in numerous mainstream software across multiple languages. The fun bit is trying to figure out what it was meant to do. :)

I was looking at the 'universal register login' functionality so would need the ability to modify the register and login interfaces an associated functions.
Universal registration is not such a smart idea, really. There are reasons why Facebook, Twitter, OpenID etc. all have their own different protocols. I'd also argue that people do not want all the options, but only the options that are actually relevant to their forum and users.
I understand your concerns regarding the idea, it would be configurable by the forum admin to be able to enable/disable it and also to select what 3rd party api's to allow from a list of supported ones from the admin side.

In reality I'm just using this as a test for myself to get as much upto speed as I can with plugins for wedge so chances are it's never released when wedge is available. :)

With that said I have one or two other features I'd be interested to see if you'd be willing to implement, one of which I got working as a mod for SMF but just never got to finish it. ;)

Is there anymore information on writing plugins apart from the 'mechanics' topic? I'm wondering how you can go about creating a plugins when a hook doesn't exist, do you need to define a new hook and if so any tips appreciated.

Just getting my head around it till it's released whenever that maybe. :)

Also remember that everyone goes through it as well so your not the only one that's felt the way you do, so talk to friends about it!

I see some potential issues... what happens when a user logs into the forum with username "myname" but then someone logs in from facebook where they use "myname"?
This wouldn't be an issue as every users still needs to select a username, they are linking the forum account ot this username and are only using the Facebook or twitter account to validate their login, I how that makes sense.

Maybe it came across wrong, I mean make it easier to decyper the quick edit function as most people will just click modify as its the first thing to attract your attention, maybe remove the current modify function the way it is and set 'modify' to use the quick edit functionality and have a 'Use advanced editor' option on the screen also.

Does that make sense?
