Board icons -- you mean, replacing the "new posts" icon in the board index, is it...?
I don't know about that. I personally prefer to consider that if a board should have its own icon, it should be offered as an addition to what is already in SMF/Wedge, i.e. new material next to the board title or something.
Noisen has support for board icons but I won't elaborate, as it's quite fucked up... :lol:
[OFF TOPIC STARTS HERE :P] (I don't really have time to start new topics etc...)
Pete, glad to see you back... Although I suddenly got like 50 extra posts to read and I was too busy working on my local install to notice you were back... :^^;:
Speaking of icons -- what do you think of today's rewrites for the action bar? I renamed .moderatorbar to .actionbar (because really, what was the semantic point of showing .modified inside that? I got so much confused by it, I'd actually declared .moderatorbar in index.member.css...!), and moved the action menu there. I changed the global opacity to make it less striking, and I think the result is quite good. More importantly, this (finally) fixes the header bar which was always a bit too crowded with icon + title + reply number + date + actions + action menu + moderation checkbox...
Remaining issues:
- Eats a little more vertical space for guests, or any post that hasn't been modified and that the user has no control over -- i.e. post has no 'last modified' date or Quick Edit button. It's no big deal, and I think FluxBB already has a bar at the bottom and nobody complained about that. IIRC Nightwish also brought a bottom bar to his Eos theme redesign...
- Mobile mode -- should I reset it or leave it as is? I think I'll reset it so that it uses the action bar... The main point is that in order to save space, I moved the Quote and Modify buttons to the action menu in mobile mode, even though these menus are a (tiny bit) harder to navigate in mobile mode than desktop mode.
- The post can feel a bit 'trapped' between the header and action bars... I added some generous extra vertical padding to help. Should be fine.
- I'll have to integrate the Quick Edit button into the action bar -- dunno how best to handle this in terms of usability.
Ah, and before I go... Remember the ugly dollarfix thing in SMF/Wedge? That's in topic.js... Well, I understood what it was all about. It's actually NOT AN IE BUG, contrary to what the comment says. I was misled by this. In fact, when applying a regex replacement in JS, "$" is a meta-character and any proper "$" needs to be escaped to "$$" before it can be used as a replacement string... Which is the reason why every single browser would 'eat' extra dollar signs in posts and subjects. So there was no need to replace to 'dollarfix' and back to '$', just replacing to '$$$$' was enough to fix it. Tested in IE6, Opera and Chrome...
Now, the funny thing is that this is the only place where SMF dealt with that, when in reality there are plenty more places where it potentially tries to inject dollar signs.... Any volunteers to deal with these? :P
