Title: Issues following the "Big Move".
Post by: smokester on October 28, 2009, 05:34:10 AM
Well we're back.  I still have much to do but I have got the spoiler tag to work I think, copied navigation to the bottom, and changed the code to show our local times.  Must dash as there is much to do...

Just a pointer to the new stretchificatable new reply boxes if any of you miss it:

This also has a WAP (http://www.diasfora.co.uk/index.php?wap2) version now but I haven't tried it on my mobile yet?

Yes, through your profile but  I only have this and our default theme though.  This has a lot of styling left to do and the default hasn't had all the modifications to the layout yet.

Dweez and myself have discovered that the BBCode here is much stricter and even repairs itself when broken.  Unfortunately that means that codeboxes cannot be nested which is also going to mean that the forum games lists will have to be stacked unless I can figure a way around it?

I wanted to make it simple, neat and easier on the eye.  I could maybe swap the logo and userarea around? 

I am going to add a little "Box" feature that should pretty up the scores as they will start to stack from now on every time someone updates one. It's about the best we can do at this point.

This theme originally had the avatar in the header but it was only for one that was no bigger than about 80px.  I could havee edited the layout to have one perhaps 120pv but that would have meant smaller ones in the posts too (they are currently 150x150).  I opted in the end to hack it out of the header completely so as to keep the narrow and uncomplicated design.  I will play with it offline and see if a compromise with the avatar size looks better.

That used to be a simple task of enabling inline links, but it doesn't seem to work in either theme here and another thing I shall get around to.  I shall try and make the font sizes and board colours stand out a bit more, but that is a case of trial and error really.

I have other things to get into the code first though as hardly any of the mods we used have been updated to this version yet and have to be entered by hand, that said, there are some far better things you can plug into this compared with V1+ that we have been using.

Bad news and good news:

Quote from: karlbenson
There is a bug in RC1 which necessitated disabling more than one linktree per page.
(otherwise you would end up with 3 or 4 linktrees for some pages).

Youwill be pleased to know that this is fixed in RC2 which will be released to the public in the near future (and is already available to charter members)

Should have it back fairly soon then and I'll keep my out for the release of RC2

This is probably fairly low priority, but in the member list view you cannae sort by status.  It seems to be sorting by name instead.

It's not really important since you can just scroll to the bottom of the homepage to find out how many people are online, but if you need something to do, you may want to take a look

But I am both site owner and host so the monthly fees would be my revenue.  It's a nice thought but the most I would appreciate is if anyone wanted to use me as the host for their websites (very reasonable rates for a good amount of space, bandwidth with PHP/MySQL).

Well, I seem to have a problem seeing the Spoiler button.  If anyone posts something as a spoiler, to me it doesn't even exist.  I've tried it on both FF and IE as well.

Right after I posted this I look at the following thread and all of a sudden I can see Jack's spoiler.

So I don't know what's up.

Actually I had to rejig every membergroup individually to reflect the changes I have hand coded into the boards - but I had assumed that your status would automatically have all the boxes checked but that proved to be an error on my part.  You are good to go on everything now.

If you quote a post such as a score board for a game, it doesn't show you the tags from that post, so you end up with two ppl's names highlighted.

But if you just post with both names highlighted, you can go back and modify it and it does show you the tags.

I believe it's invalid nesting so you are better to just strip out the tables and put the lists on the new box tags - or no container tags at all.

Post by: indie180 on October 29, 2009, 02:24:04 PM
No, it's when you highlight someone name that has just guessed your post, your name it still highlighted, the tags don't show to remove them.

Nothing has changed for me when doing the names.  I delete the tags off the previous player, highlight the new and then press the bold button and then the colour (or vice-versa)?

The sort of good news is that I just treid a few nesting experiments out on Buster's board and the same thing happened.  Although this isn't widely reported in the SMF forums, similar things are and it seems to do with the stricter way the code is parsed.  I'll report this as a bug and see if it gets confirmed.

I see what you're talking about indie.  I think this is because of the WYSIWYG option we now have.  I have personally disabled mine in the profile now (see screenshot).

(http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo51/dw33z/f945f780.jpg)

Another method that you can use on a case by case situation is to click the "Toggle View" button (the button of a red "A" shown in the pic below) and it will change the view from the BBC being interpreted to just showing the code.

Thanks dweez I hadn't twigged that indie may have the WYSIWYG turned on and that sounds like what his issue is with not seeing the tags.

I have been researching the BBCode problems with Buster and the code breaks even on the SMF mother site that is using the yet to be released RC2.  I think it could only be one of 2 things, one of which could be fixed and the other cannot, but I am going to post this up in the SMF support and get the big boys to have a look at it.
Title: Re: Issues following the "Big Move".
Post by: dweez on October 30, 2009, 07:06:02 AM
Another odd quirk I have been experiencing...but a little background on how I read the forum first.

My bookmark to this fora takes me directly to the "Recent Unread Topics" page.  I then open up a different tab for each new thread, so I often have many tabs open.  In the process of reading/posting in the threads, I'll open/switch to other tabs, for google searching, PhotoBucket upload, etc., then I'll return to the initial thread, post what I want, and go on to the next thread.

Well, since last night, ~7pm EST, I have had problems posting to threads.  I will type what I want to post, hit the post button, and nothing.  It reacts in the same way as it does if you'd make a post, then hit "Back" in your browser, then try to hit "Post" again (at least it reacts the same way for me).  If I refresh the page, I'm good to go.  So far today, for the threads I've posted in, I've had to do the refresh method for all but one.

Ok, so I don't know what's causing this issue, whether it's that sometimes it can take several minutes for me to get to a thread I've opened or whether it's because I moved away from the tab and back to it.  I perused through the "Posting" settings in the admin console as well as a quick glance at my Group's permissions but didn't see anything that looked like a likely culprit.

Another odd quirk I have been experiencing...but a little background on how I read the forum first.

My bookmark to this fora takes me directly to the "Recent Unread Topics" page.  I then open up a different tab for each new thread, so I often have many tabs open.  In the process of reading/posting in the threads, I'll open/switch to other tabs, for google searching, PhotoBucket upload, etc., then I'll return to the initial thread, post what I want, and go on to the next thread.

Well, since last night, ~7pm EST, I have had problems posting to threads.  I will type what I want to post, hit the post button, and nothing.  It reacts in the same way as it does if you'd make a post, then hit "Back" in your browser, then try to hit "Post" again (at least it reacts the same way for me).  If I refresh the page, I'm good to go.  So far today, for the threads I've posted in, I've had to do the refresh method for all but one.

Ok, so I don't know what's causing this issue, whether it's that sometimes it can take several minutes for me to get to a thread I've opened or whether it's because I moved away from the tab and back to it.  I perused through the "Posting" settings in the admin console as well as a quick glance at my Group's permissions but didn't see anything that looked like a likely culprit.

That is a bit odd?  I have been playing with the code and I do find that I have to re-login after I have altered something externally, but for a persistent problem like yours, it wouldn't explain it.

It's randomly logging me out too. But, it might be because I haven't check marked an option, or something simple like that.

No I believe that is my doing as it happens all the time when I am working on my locally hosted version of this forum, and it happens everytime I overwrite a file.

Sorry about that but I am nearly finished.

I figured out what is triggering it even if I don't know why.  The page "breaks" for me if I try to post a comment using the Alt+S keyboard shortcut instead of the "Post" button.  Once I hit Alt+S, the page is broken until I refresh.

I'm testing now whether just hitting the Alt during the process of tying out a thread is causing it or if the whole Alt+S is needed.

Looks like it's the full Alt+S combination.

Alt-essing seems to work fine for me?

Don't know what to say but here's more info.

1) It works fine on IE.
2) Borked on FF 3.5.4 where I have modified the following in the about:config
---a) ui.key.chromeAccess - changed from 4 to 5
---b) ui.key.contentAccess - changed from 5 to 4

The about:config edit merely changed the default action of the Alt+S combination from the drop-down "History" menu to the "Send" command. 

But it definitely looks like it's a FF-specific issue (and maybe just my personal FF setup's issue)

Thanks dweez I hadn't twigged that indie may have the WYSIWYG turned on and that sounds like what his issue is with not seeing the tags.


Thanks Guys, it was set by default I haven't touch any of the setting. I know someone else who was having the same prob.

First time today (saturday here) when I was trying to reply or read topics it kicks me out.

It never happened with original or temporarily host,only now when we have again permanent host.

It happens around board.

I am editing the files on the fly and when they change they more often than not invalidate the session and you have to re-login.  It will be like that for a short while longer.

I played around with the header to accomodate the avatars, and it ended up like this:

I don't think I'll incorporate it for the default theme but I may make this altered version another option in your settings.

I may change my mind about that as I'm trying to get the search field back into the design as I for one quite miss it.  It is tricky and if I manage it I'd have to make the header bigger to accomodate the field, so I may as well go the whole hog and show the big avatars?

Smoke, if your test forum is on the same server, have you changed the cookie name?
IE- smf11 for one, SMF12 for the other ?
If the cookie name is the same, it will log people off of both at the same time.

I don't have a testing forum live as yet and all my tests are done on my locally hosted sites. But even then when I edit the index-template and save it, when I refresh the browser even in the offline version it logs me out and I have to re-login, it even happens sometimes when only editing the style sheet. I doesn't break anything though and I presume when files are updated it is picked up when the page refreshes and invalidates users' sessions.

Interesting. It shouldn't do that as far as I know. The session and cookie are separate from the CSS and the index.template file completely. The session is in the index.php file. Odd indeed. I have no idea why it would do that myself.  :)

I am changing the head here slightly to include the board/thread specific search facility that we currently don't have, and I am going to include the avatars. However, I don't want the avatars to display any larger than 120x120px and I have restricted their size in that area.  For most that won't matter as ours are at least 120px and square, but for those who have them smaller you will see them a tad inflated and for those who have non-square avatars they will distort slightly one way or the other.  This was the easiest way for me to set this up and as only you see your own avatar in the header it is not really even a board issue, but I thought I'd let you know in advance so I don't get asked why an avatar looks squished in the userarea.

Does jet-lag normally accompany a site move? I think I have it. :D I will prune my messages, I have almost a page just from the last time I was here, sorry I let them pile up.

You said it sister.

I have to apologise to those who have changed from the default theme and to those who like the existing default, as I am installing the final release of the Diasfora theme and any who prefer the old or core theme will have to change it back to those through their profile.

We have been here long enough now for site issues to be considered "normal" rather than related to the "Big move" as such, so I am locking this and could you please report any and all problems you encounter in this thread (http://www.diasfora.co.uk/index.php?topic=2943.0) as usual.
