Daniel0 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I seem to have lost the ability to mark threads as solved or I can't find the link to do so. Yeah. The mod we used isn't compatible. I'll have to fix it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yeah. The mod we used isn't compatible. I'll have to fix it first. I've been messin around with it awhile... for too long actually. Here's my progress. Really, the ONLY thing left to do now is compile it into a mod/package which will be the most PITA (considering how well SMF really updated everything.)

Daniel0 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Did you implement it using an additional field in the table instead of the retarded implementation the old one used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamwest Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've done a couple of changes to the layout: Made boxes look like [code] boxes (like before).Split replies/views into separate columns (like before). Removed SMF logo from header. and.....increase text size in forums - yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Did you implement it using an additional field in the table instead of the retarded implementation the old one used? Yes indeed!... [ot]In fact I also figured out how to send a copy of it to the modlog, but I really doubt that'll come in handy whatsoever.[/ot] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Preferably it should only go to the mod log if someone is marking a thread they didn't start themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I don't know why I didn't think of that. I'm still trying to package it up... I hate this CDATA BS.

dreamwest Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 One thing i do like about the new forum is the pink ad div at the end of each post... ...BUT its a little lacking - it should be sandwiched between each comment as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnoTheDev Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Is it just me or? When you copy code from a block and paste into an IDE it pastes as a single line rather than the formatted syntax. The old forum used to work fine.

webmaster1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 As god-like as this site is it's great to see it aesthetically revamped with a new theme (even if it's not original). It's fresher and more contemporary. I've always thought an exclusive custom set of phpfreak smilies would be nice. The RTFM smiley is amusing.

nrg_alpha Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Dan, is the in-forum bookmarking mod compatible with this version? If so, could we have that re-installed (no rush of course, as I'm sure there are are others issues to deal with when transitioning to a new forum version)? I'm not sure about the others, but I certainly made extensive use of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Is it just me or? When you copy code from a block and paste into an IDE it pastes as a single line rather than the formatted syntax. The old forum used to work fine. No, it's just not you. One workaround is to first paste into an application that recognizes formatting, such as MS Word. You can then copy out of word and into another application and the line-breaks will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How fortunate that we do have an exclusive custom set of smilies then Eh? Apart from the RTFM I honestly couldn't have told the difference. Stylistically I like how they're drawn a lot but they don't intuitively pertain to php a great deal (again, aside from RTFM). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a normal how would you make that look like a "php" smiley? Ohh, I think I know what he means by php smiley.. he probably means: Nay for either one IMO. @webmaster1, just be clear on the differences, note that the smilies in Dan's post wasn't the 'older' ones (these must have been included within the forum upgrade I presume? So SMF went from crappy to semi-crappy default smilies then...) Look here to see what the then current ones looked like (there is a comparative screen shot showing 4 old ones, and my revisions of those - this was the thread that started it all... Hmmm.. I wonder out loud if PugJr still hates the newer ones ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webmaster1 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 To clarify, I can deduce the difference between the smiley sets alright but as nrg_alpha has elucidated, I'm commenting more on availability of 'php relevant' smilies. Though it's not something I've actually seen in practice (until nrg_alpha's preceding post) here are a few design elements off the top of my head: stereotype: php newb with big anime eyes, batting eyelids with a soother in mouth or licking a lolipop stereotype: php nerd wearing glasses, bucked teeth, side creased hair stereotype: contemporary hacker wearing square glasses, goatee and bluetooth head peace, talking and/or eyes shiftily looking left to right stereotype: php god: white long hair and beard, beard flowing in wind, wise old face stereotype: php dunce: smiley wearing dunce hat with php written on it concept: coding stalemate: smiley with bloodshot eyes, one eye twitching concept: boiling point: smiley screaming in fury and shooting self in head or bashing head with keyboard concept: thanks: a humbled and gracious smiley repeatedly bowing in gratitude concept: pebmac: arrow pointing to profiled smiley sitting on chair facing a monitor concept: using code tags!: smiley being sandwiched between opened and closed code tags concept: do that using server side!: smiley swapping out a sign saying 'client' for 'server' concept: sql/databasing: smiley next to standard databasing icon These are just a few rough examples. At the end of the day it's trivial but nuances like these always stick out in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it's trivial but nuances like these always stick out in my mind. I will be doing another round of smilies (no eta at the moment though). Some of your suggestions could be already found (more or less) in the current collection. For example: stereotype: php nerd wearing glasses, bucked teeth, side creased hair = (ok, he doesn't have greasy hair, but over all, close enough). concept: boiling point: smiley screaming in fury and shooting self in head or bashing head with keyboard = (ok, so he's not screaming in fury AND shooting.. but you get the idea). concept: using code tags!: smiley being sandwiched between opened and closed code tags = (so instead of sandwitching between signs, simply holding up signs). Good suggestions all in all. When the time comes, we'll revisit this issue and get a pool of suggestions and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
