Forum upgrade issues here please

[Lethul]

i cant find the old black style option

and pressing the differnet smileys to the right doenst seem to work for me either

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

Missing a seperation header between stickies and regular posts..


And besides that, if you go to the second page of a chapter, don't think the stickies need to be really visible there, atleast not in an uncollapsed manner.. but that was this way before the upgrade aswell, so that's just a suggestion for future changes perhaps..

but for the rest...

Looks very sleek... this upgrade deserves a thumbs up..
<looks for thumb-up orso icon amongst all the [x]-imagethingies on the right or below>

[edit] and ohw... LOVE the inline post editing!!

 

[Herjulf]

Smilies wont load, and the new smilies arent as fun/cool as the old ones. i liked the moving more colourfull ones better.

Would laso be fun if some new ones were added, like roleplaying and action smilies.

The new forum also feels a tad more sluggish, sometimes i have to click links 2 times to make them load.

There used to be a line separating the stickies/announcements making them easier to find/see. cant see that anymore.

Is there anyway to get the black:ish theme back?

Just some ideas and bugs i felt i wanted to share.

 

[UndyingAngel]

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee<insert winey 3 year old voice here>eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebs where's my pokey with stick smily?

[Deebs]

Smilies should be back now.

Working on thru....

 

[Draylor]

Ah, new version of edit is alot better. None of this page loading nonsense

Deebs, i know you probably already have this hack somewhere - but heres the changelog from our 3.5 forums for the sticky seperator


Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> <style name>

Double Click Forum Display Templates
Double Click FORUMDISPLAY

Find this code and add the blue:

<if condition="$show['threads']">
<!-- show threads -->
<if condition="$show['stickies']">
$threadbits_sticky
<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons'] AND $show['inlinemod']">7<else /><if condition="!$show['threadicons'] AND !$show['inlinemod']">5<else />6</if></if>">&nbsp;</td></tr>
</if>
$threadbits
<!-- end show threads -->
<else />

This will insert a bar that separates the two types of threads.

The spolier buttons seem to work fine and are a great editon. No more accidently highlighting spoilers I don't want to read

 

[Alan]

Aslo - we used to only get one sig per person (first post in each thread)

Not working now...
Again if needed, heres our changelog entry,


Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Template -> <style name>

Double Click Postbit Templates
Double click postbit

Find about half way down the text : <if condition="$post['signature']">
Replce with :

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true">

Repeat the above for postbit_legacy

 

[Deebs]

Cheers, added it without the colour so it inherits the already used colours.

yeah sorry we allow the [colour] tags the above post should have showed the code to add in BLUE - but as you dont allow the colour tags here it fell into the code opps

 

[Deebs]

Cheers Tears,

saving me having to go hunt through all my old code

Implemented.

Nahh thank you - we took most of our ideas for the guild forums from changes here just managed to keep a log hehe.

That reminds me to install a new plugin which allows private passworded forums to be hosted here very easily

If you don't have anything constructive to say let me say something that is constructive to me, kindly fuckoff.

okay

it still looks gay BECAUSE the icons are massive, the names are huge and the smiley's are terrible.

 

[Deebs]

Added two new styles:

Black & Gold (Dark)
SteelBlue (Blue!!)

 

[SheepCow]

Before as an example if a post had more than 1 page, you could click on say the 3rd page.

You still can do this ...

 

[Garaen]

Can we have the DAoC theme colour if you havn't put it in already. (The Brown-ish one)

EDIT: nm you have

 

[Dommers]

Loading times are huge for some reason. On a 2mb connection. Going to test out the new styles.

Issues with line breaks.

<== Issues with post count

 

[Kami]

Really hope your not going to enable post counts, seen so many issues on other forums with people post farming endlessly to raise theirs. Seriously guys please don't do it, I love FH the way it is
