Updated forum software in beta

Blue will cost extra.

Hey I am no scientist but I noticed that the wiki has a strange error when viewing user pages now. Could it be a result of the upgrade? The new changes are great by the way! Good job, webwit (and anyone else who might've been involved)

I've got the same on my page!


One of those error messages appears also when viewing the source:

[webwit]

Thanks, should be fixed now!

[Daniel Beardsmore]

Not sure why 002 is stalking me though …

[tinnie]

Because you're single! D:

[webwit]

For my next trick... (still working on the design)

[7bit]

Will this be optional?

[webwit]

Yes, you can switch between that view and embedded youtube view.

[7bit]

What I mean: I like the idea of the photos and first few worrds view, but it would be great to also have the traditional view with colored categoies (even though they cost extra. )

[webwit]

If you imagine the picture above with the [Photos] prefixes in green, then the problem I had with that is the topic titles lose focus between all the green text which stands out around them.

[7bit]

Make them green in the traditional view and black in the picture view.

You get extra points if the category is moved to the left column with those useless circles.


BTW: Is it possible to have a blank placeholder, or a broken image graphic, if there is no photo?

For my next trick... (still working on the design)

Meanwhile on Reddit...

I mean, Deskthority.

[Muirium]

Nice idea. And so long as I can turn it off (especially on the forum spy, my main UI) I'll be happy.

[Daniel Beardsmore]

Because you're single! D:

So I've gone from being sought after by gay men, to being desired by married family men? I see …

[Muirium]

I'm sure some of them are just wonderful…

[Daniel Beardsmore]

It is a completely lost cause. I'm not even on the Venus/Mars scale.

By the way, the new Mark topics read button doesn't work in Try before you buy or Other languages: nothing happens. Refresh the page and nothing changed. (I don't know why the AJAX request is being sent as GET instead of POST — I guess that's why a random number is being sent, by someone who got their GET and POST mixed up.)

When marking as read does work, the server returns code 200 and the raw string "Forums have been marked read." as the entity body. (WTF?)

When marking as read doesn't work, the server returns code 200, but 0 bytes of entity body. No errors, no "Nothing needed to be done." reply, literally nothing.

[webwit]

Thanks, actually that button was not supposed to work in old forums yet (outside the tab structure), the backend was not prepared for it. Fixed that.

Since the update when I click on Marketplace, on a random base I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_normalize_nfc() in /home/dtnet/public_html/phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php on line 764

[webwit]

I couldn't replicate it but I think I fixed it. Let me know if you still get the error.

[002]

Getting an SQL error on all tabs in Marketplace that don't have sub-sections.

Error happens here too. Nice filename though.

[webwit]

Thanks, I fixed it.

[webwit]

In process...
This video shows a couple of things. It shows a thumbnail view, and the ability to toggle to no thumbnails and no text abstracts. It also shows some redone tag labels in the marketplace. And it shows an experiment with Try before you buy moved to the marketplace.

[ne0phyte]

That looks nice, webwit! Also: are you blocking the analytics script (Piwik) on your own site with Ghostery?

[webwit]

It's enabled, otherwise it would be strikethrough

[woody]

That new extra, the picture thumbnail and snippet of text - I can change the page layout with the icon (I just want the most simple view, like it was before), but it is neither remembered for my profile, nor when going back in browser history.

Fixable?

[webwit]

It should be saved in a cookie dtnet_3yukq_layout (value 1, 2 or 3) on domain deskthority.net.

[woody]

I don't keep cookies, for various reasons. Possible with the user profile?
But going back is something else, the cookie is still alive and well then.

[webwit]

It's not a trivial fix I'm afraid. Can't you allow this cookie in the exception list? It's a genuine use of cookies, to save a persistent user option. Unlike tracking cookies.
