Socoder -> On Topic -> SoCoder Improvements
Sat, 30 Jan 2010, 17:01
JL235	From time to time I think up little improvements to SoCoder and then PM them to Jay. But I thought other people might be interested. I was thinking why not have an image uploader built into the MudChat. Just a fancy front end for the 'your uploads' section to make uploading and pasting pics a little easier. I'm imagining a button marked 'paste image' which opens a file selector. You select the file, it uploads it and then auto-pastes it into the mud-chat using the imgs tag. If Jay's worried about us filling up his server with images then you could have them stored seperately and be deleted after a day or two. Thoughts?

Jayenkai	[todo] Still working with that Framework.. It'll be done in a couple of weeks. .. Hopefully.. Like I said, it'd be best to keep it seperate as much as I can, because I don't like the idea of it breaking somewhere, and ending up knackering your mudchat connection (or your new showcase post, or whatever) but if I could super-ajax it into the mix somehow, so it's a whole seperate thing, but works on the same screen, then that'd be a nice thing to do. Additionally, I made proper "click to vote" things on my Jay Archive, along with "anonymous posting with Gravatar's" there, too, so it'd be nice if I could work those in over here. And, I also need to retweak the "My Uploads" thing again. Having thumbnails was a nice enough idea, but I've got shitloads uploaded and it's taking ages showing 'em all!! Must fix... Oh yeah, and I also considered making a more robust calender system that lists showcases and things like that, instead of just birthdays. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Afr0's talking about the time that I considered the whole "Surrounds" method of making themes. To be fair, it did work out quite nicely, and I got quite a lot working, but it'd taken about 6 months and I was getting a little pissed at my lack of motivation. Add to that the fact that people kept whinging their arses off about it, and the fact that nobody would've used it anyway, leaving me to additionally have to keep building new themes... and.. it all went downhill crazy like until such a time that I just thought "Fuck it, Grey'n'Green looks good." and left it be. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Afr0	Afr0 I'm still waiting for my Socoder theme to be made... ...then make it. I did! I sent a picture of it to Jay ages ago, he still hasn't made it! I think it's been over 6 months now... -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Phoenix	Themes are supposed to be made by you, not by Jay. Download the theme development files in the FAQ and get to work if you want it done.

Afr0	?? o_O I didn't even know there were theme development files. Jay told me he'd do it if I made a theme, and I did make a damn theme (well, I designed one), and he didn't implement it yet! -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

JL235	Making it and designing it aren't the same thing. True for websites too.

Afr0	Well, Jay basically told me to design a theme and he'd implement it. But damn, fine... I'll make my own theme!! -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Afr0	... no. Just kind of annoyed that this site hasn't been retrofitted with a Marxist theme sooner. But I'll take care of that today! -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Stealth	Just give up with the themes Afr0. It too much work for everybody. The site has gotten so big it's too late for simple changes. The theme builder pack is way out of date too. Keep in mind that you'll need to pull new versions of the HTML from the live site to test against. ... I'll throw one SIMPLE theme idea out there. Give each page it's own class on the body tag (<body class="homepage">) that way when you're designing themes you can specify which page the styles refer to. One big pain in the ass when designing themes is that when you want to style an <h1> on one page, it fucks up some other <h1> tag on a different page. Then you end up doing some annoying shit like: #Layout_Main table tr td.Standard_Plain h5 { } And sometimes it's impossible to specify which tag you're referring to--so the additional body classes would help. Just an idea. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.

Sticky	One thing that you could do that should be very easy to fix is the URL that shows up at the bottom of the unformat.php pages. eg: socoder.net/index.php?link=15936 -> socoder.net/unformat.php?post=15936 It says This post is from -- https://socoder.net/index.php?topic=0 Of course, that's for posts in topics on the forum. In this case it's a link, so that's probably where the problem lies. -=-=- last.fm
