Socoder -> Off Topic -> Site Update - 26 March 2007

Jayenkai	Right, the whole Template thing seems to be taking ages, and going nowhere fast.. I'm going to put the Template system on hold. It's really not worth messing about with the layout of the site, if whole chunks of the site are buggering up. Instead, let's take a peek into the ever-growing mail-bag of bugs, shall we! Bugs Agent Smith I have a problem with the site - whenever I try to edit my comment in Power Mousey's blog Cobra not so down to Earth (or add a new comment) I get the following error: Aaah, the whole chr () thing. Honestly, I'm not sure I can fix that. But I'll try my best. shroom_monk Whenever you change a setting in your profile (or at least your time settings), it resets your smilies to 'No Smilies' So it does. I'll get that sorted. I'll also go and tweak the Site Theme page so it doesn't default to "Dark Red and Blue" all the time! shroom_monk In the RSS Feeds, if you delete a showcase, then it's name still remains!!! Oh! shroom_monk The links in the RSS feed don't work! No, they do work.. It depends on the reader's output of urls. Apparently, you can't add &'s into rss feed urls, so instead I used %26. Although some readers (like Firefox's raw viewer) will show it as a &, they stupidly send it back out as %26, mucking up the link as they go. I'll tweak! ^ Note how shroom's moaned the most.. That's why the [moan] tags have mushrooms attached General Tweaks Jayenkai Why doesn't the PM show the original poster's name. I forgot, OK! blanko1324 Design a Theme : Where is "TestPage.html"? Bugger.. It had it in one version of the upload, but then I added Smilies to the pack, and must've forgotten to include it the second time. erbbysam Not sure if it's just me but... on the old BC didn't the "Blitzcoder" image in the top left link back to the homepage? ... I've found myself clicking on it a few times to no avail and can't really remember exactly why... just a feature suggestion. I've tried various methods to get that to work. I'll have a fiddle, but no promises. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Phoenix	Around some buttons there are borders: I could fix this myself, but I don't want to edit anything without permission from Jay.
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 06:37
Jayenkai	^ That's the "Edit this week's Workshop Details" button, and is only visible to admin. (Or at least, it should be, anyway!!) I couldn't be bothered neatening it up. No-one else sees it -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

svrman	*Apparently, you can't add &'s into rss feed urls, so instead I used %26.* Should the "&" even be there? The link I'm getting is index.php?/%26topic=123 Shouldn't it be index.php?topic=123 \|edit\| ok well, at least the forward slash shouldn't be there! \|edit\| Regarding Erbbysam's query, Off the top of my head, you could do this: <div id="topbar" onClick="javascript:window.location('index.php');"> --v Not sure if that's right though... -=-=- BlitzRSS script back online!
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 07:11
Jayenkai	That'd make the whole topbar a big clickable link, meaning the member list wouldn't work right... (right?!) The ?/& thing is due to the way that .co.nr redirects. If you try redirecting to index.php, then add a ? to the url, the ? gets lost in the redirection. So I added the ? to the redirect url, but that (for whatever reason!) added the / afterwards.. So then I realised that if you put a & on the url, the parameter sent to the php would be "?/&whataver", the / is basically ignored, and the rest continues as it should. But I can't add &'s to the rss feeds! Bah, humbug! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 08:06
svrman	Ah I see - didn't know co.nr behaved that way. ok just did a quick test and the member links weren't affected (I think!). Initial code was wrong though, should have been: onClick="javascript:window.location.replace('index.php')" --v -=-=- BlitzRSS script back online!
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 08:35
Jayenkai	OK, I'll try that later, then. At the moment I shoved a giant hyperlink over the left side of the Memberlist table, which overlaps the Socoder logo. It works fine in IE6, but not in Firefox. Stupid Firefox, doing things right! How dare it -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

garand	cant you just url link the image?
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 11:00
Jayenkai	Not whilst it's on a lower layer. If I make it a plain-old image, then the width of the Memberlist+Image will end up stretching the width of the site when viewed at low resolutions. The way it is now, if the memberlist gets too wide, it overlaps the logo instead of stretching everything out. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

TheMadProff	\|moan\| Urm, I don't know if its just this week, but where is the mygameideas challenge in the Wednesday workshop list. Shroom's entry is listed under the photo challenge, is this supposed to happen??? \|moan\| -=-=- ''It works, but I'm not sure why it works...''
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 12:17
shroom_monk	Yes, it is put as #91, but labelled with the photo challenge data! Also... \|moan\| The clocks at the top are still broken!!! \|moan\| -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!

skypenguin	\|moan\| If you open a pm then press back to pms, it takes you to the main page \|moan\|

Jayenkai	TheMadProff : Holy cow! I must've messed that up last week! I typically post "This weeks", so last week I mustn't have bothered. Easily repairable. Shroom Moan : I still haven't sorted out the Mud-chat time thing, have I.. I'll fix both at once. Just have to figure out a nice way to do both at once Sky Penguin : Okey dokey.. I'll sort it. Any more moans? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 15:17
power mousey	Jay, I think most of the moans have been groaned by others here. Besides, I never really had any moans. Questions, ponderings and wonderings. But not moans. true. cheers power mousey

HoboBen	Well, Jay, I hate to moan, so... [gentle nudge] If you go to my profile, you don't seem to be able to search my showcases, however I can search other peoples.[/gentle nudge] Hey, and good night Jay, Mousey, everyone -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code
Mon, 26 Mar 2007, 16:30
Jayenkai	Aaah, yes, I have to recheck the Showcase/Code Snippet/etc searches. I messed up by using a preset system, instead of a dynamic one. Plenty of stuff for me to play with tomorrow -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 27 Mar 2007, 06:40
Jayenkai	Svrman was quite right, his div/javascript click thing does seem to work, except that if you aren't logged in, it messes up the clickability of the input boxes. Therefore, I made it a "When you're logged in" feature. Seems to work ok that way, but if there are issues with other browsers, do let me know. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 27 Mar 2007, 07:14
Phoenix	And you should add a cursor: pointer in the CSS so that it looks like a clicky link.
Tue, 27 Mar 2007, 07:30
Jayenkai	OK, done that, too! I added a new MoreOf($User) function to the script, to save me a bit of typing! (Well, copy+pasting!) Now all the "More Of " things around the site should work from the same set of links, making things look a little more constant around the site. You'll see these on the right hand bar in profile, blogs and badges, but also on searches that include a username. I also repaired the "WW Entries : #", since it went a little odd! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

skypenguin	\|moan\| We can't see sent pms \|moan\| \|moan\| Jayenkai's Avatar and Avabar don't work in Firefox (I think, sorry if i'm wrong \|moan\| \|moan\| The bottom right hand corner of the members list seems to be empty \|edit\| It's actually a link back to the home page \|edit\| \|moan\| [clap]Jay's fixed the pm's thing[/clap] [clap]The link on the thing on the logo on the right hand site now works [/clap] [clap]There ar too many things to mention [/clap] \|moan\| Can we have clap tags? \|moan\|
Tue, 27 Mar 2007, 15:07
Jayenkai	"We can't see sent pms" How d'you mean? The PM list should display both sent and recieved messages. Perhaps I should make it a list of "From X" and "To X" or something? <shrugs> "Jayenkai's Avatar and Avabar don't work in Firefox" Jayenkai needs to figure out why BRS Webweaver is acting up on his home PC. I could just upload them to the socoder server, but then I'd have to go around to 100+ forums, changing all my avatar links! "The bottom right hand corner of the members list seems to be empty" The cursor will switch to a hand-click-pointer due to Phoenix's suggestion that I make the area do that. Unfortunately, since the Member list is still part of the TopBar, the area appears to be clickable, even though most of it isn't.. "Can we have clap tags?" "Clap" doesn't sound right. If someone can come up with a better name, then sure! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

svrman	I know this is just a little late but this seemed interesting: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:event.clientX Basically you could set the region inside the div. Oh and perhaps [cheer], [yay] or [touchself]? -=-=- BlitzRSS script back online!

HoboBen	LOL, touchself [yeay] or [yay] might work. -=-=- blog \| work \| code \| more code

JL235	I can't seem to find a search option for the forums anywhere. Is there one? If not, can one be produced?
