Today I realized that if we're talking about wedges as part of a greater ensemble, it means they're like "orange wedges", not "simple machine wedges".
Meaning, the French translation would be the same as for the orange -- a "tranche" (slice), or "quartier d'orange".
I like "quartier" because it ALSO means a "place" -- i.e. "quartier général"/"headquarters".
It can also mean a "neighborhood" or "area". Nice for a social network oriented website.

Bumping this while I play with the blog board stuff.

Boards can be defined in the table as blog/forum/site but looking back on this I have no idea what a 'site' board is meant to be... is it a redirect board?

Nah, it's... Well, the equivalent to a portal page?

Sites aren't implemented in Noisen so that's why it's confusing.
They were always intended as this: basically, same as a blog, but the index is different. Instead of having a list of blog posts, you have a more complex page that is built by the author, either through HTML in an editor (is it wise?), or through 'blocks' that they place wherever they want. For instance, set a blog post to be a headline or introduction, show a list of the 5 most popular posts or 5 most recent, or a random selection of them, either in blog index format or just the link or something, and most importantly, actual text contents that should be used to 'link' the blocks between them. I had envisioned actually setting up a hidden topic for each 'site', where only the first post would be used, and would represent the main page, with the user being able to use various new bbc tags to show the list of post -- things like [posts type=blog limit=5 sort=random]... See what I mean?

'course I never implemented any of that.

Portal pages are managed entirely separately, and don't hijack the boards table for anything; often they have 'page=xyz' in the URL.

I do see what you mean *nods* but that's heading towards article territory, which isn't a bad thing at all. Just that really we're talking about reusing topics rather than boards for that ultimately (it's a use for floating topics rather than boards, IMHO)

Yeah, but that's not how we're going to do things... Isn't it?
I mean, I always keep the search engine in mind when I add content. To me, the messages table is sacred -- WordPress doesn't allow searching on blog posts, comments and pages at the same time... That's one advantage it won't get anytime soon :P

Technically, I wanted FoxProg to be a site-type thing.
Well, now I want DeiDeo to be my next (and first) site-type thingy. (Y'know, that website I've been thinking of for a couple of years, where I'll post fun/interesting plagiarism examples in the geek culture.)

That's the thing. Floating topics ;) Authors could determine whether they want people to be able to comment their site pages. Y'know, that 'lock' option ;)

Which is odd because IIRC they're all in the same table...

Don't think so. Using the topics+messages table is actually better for this. I have been contemplating pushing an override into the topics table, for handling blog/forum and other types of topic.

It needs to be done soon, I think.

Wedge as in forum, etc. Slice as in wedge part? Possibly also peice. So wedge, slice, peice?

Remember the old rule, I before E except after C
Or when sounded like a, as in neighbor and weigh... :P
That doesn't work for "height" :niark:
Unless my movie-watching days were useless[1], the entire "ei" is pronounced like the French "a", as opposed to the English one.
 1. Yet they still gave me quite a good grasp of the general grammar rules... :whistle:
