Forum ft. requests - Tyblitz - 2015-04-30
Hey,
Let me start by saying the latest forum UI/ feature update was really great,
but there are some basic things (if possible) that I think would be great to be able to do:
- Linking to parts of a post (intro posts mostly), eg with phpBB [anchor] or [goto] tags. See https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=7216175.
- Linking to posts in the same thread on the same page without required page refresh and opening in the same browser tab.
- Linking to external pages with a hashtag for on-page anchor. Currently the forum strips out anchors in external links. (workaround is by adding ?param=anchor and have JS on page act accordingly)
- Inline code as a toolbar button. Now it only works when setting format to monospace and there's no padding/background.
- I wanted to delete a post because it is no longer relevant, and if you click Edit > Full, at the top there's an option to delete the post, but this doesn't work "Not the required privileges"; so either remove or give post owner permission to delete?
- Spoilers, eg. https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/bbcode/new_spoiler/

Some issues with links, good points.
There is code and php tags on the toolbar already... ?
PHP Code:
<?php
iamfunction(){
}
?>Why do we need spoliers? we arent a movie or book forum..
We dont allow deleting posts, because it defeats the purpose of a member to member support forum to delete answers.

Ok, but then it shouldn't be visible (or locked) to people who don't have the permissions?

I admit this one's a bit of a "nice extra", but for a good example (fold/unfolding a table of contents) have a look at: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?535111-Everything-About-RS2-is-here. I know the link is for a game, but see how much more content can be fitted into less space; ideal for big plugin intros & would facilitate transferring plugin info from external sites to the GS site in an orderly fashion.

Yes there are code blocks, but there's no inline code , like when you'd type <code></code> in HTML. The only option is to set font to 'Courier New', although manually changing it to [font=monospace] looks better.
Oh and also forgot (and saw one or two other mentions of this): the forum search rarely brings up the most relevant topics..

RE: Forum ft. requests - shawn_a - 2015-04-30
I think you can only delete it within a certain time period or something, shrug.
Interesting use case, I would rather add folding section for reels. But this sounds like a zero config thing to consider.
You mean like code lines, or `code` etc.
Yeah forum search blows...
testing
inline code $test testing
RE: Forum ft. requests - shawn_a - 2015-04-30
There added [c] tags for inline code
until i add a syntax highlighter i just used something basic for css (stole githubs)
I will probably be adding some stuff when the plugins are upgraded, like markdown etc.
You want to volunteer to figure this shit out ?
Better search, mybb codes etc
RE: Forum ft. requests - Tyblitz - 2015-04-30
Nice, thanks for the fast implementation. Does this website actually run on GetSimple?? If so we could use I18N search
, which is pretty good imho. For syntax highlighting I know highlight.js is pretty good, and also provides a wide array of themes. A while ago I made a Codehighlight bookmarklet using this lib that highlights all <pre> tags (which unfortunately does not work here because code blocks are simple <div>s.Anyhow, the lib automatically detects the code language, so no need for separate
[php] & [code] blocks, all fully front-end.Including it would be as simple as doing:
Code:
hljs.configure({useBR: true});
$('div.codeblock code').each(function(i, block) {
hljs.highlightBlock(block);
});I know of one issue with the lib: sometimes it doesn't highlight correctly when multiple languages are in one snippet (eg JS
<script> tags), but I'd need to test that more rigorously. (2015-04-30, 10:54:47)shawn_a Wrote: You want to volunteer to figure this shit out ?

If you mean simply providing feedback & suggestions on the forum, yes, but afaik I can't 'copy' this website to test it locally (for search algorythms & bb codes)..
Btw I just noticed something: when someone edits a previous post in a thread, the 'latest reply author' of the thread is set to this person (while no new reply has been posted). If this is intentional; ignore

No this is mybb...

It could also be useful in a quote. If you quote someones long post but want to preserve it's info, although it's long (for example because the original post is on another page/topic).

Yeah I reckon that's another nice example. And it would also be nice for larger blocks of code so you can see them completely without scrolling a small window, and without them taking too much post space
I found & tested some myBB spoiler plugins, seems like this is the only decent one for mybb 1.4+:

Might have to tweak the code a bit for the image to display correctly but looks like a fine plugin
RE: Forum ft. requests - Tyblitz - 2015-05-21
Not really for the forum, but for the website. Because I didn't ever get a GS newsletter, I thought I wasn't subscribed.
So I clicked 'Subscribe', then got a mail to confirm 'unsubscribing' (which I didn't want).
RE: Forum ft. requests - Tyblitz - 2015-05-28
CSS 'bug' spotted on the Extend plugin description of GSconfig UI;
the image shouldn't expand over the sidebar's space... I know, no big deal, but not very neat either.

WTH is this: http://get-simple.info/extend/admin-theme/no-longer-available/437/
It downloads a ZIP with a text file called 'chupachups' and random text in it..

RE: Forum ft. requests - Artur - 2015-06-05
Maybe he doesn't know how to delete things from repository.
RE: Forum ft. requests - Tyblitz - 2015-06-12
Another not very logical thing spotted with the Extend repo; for example go to http://get-simple.info/extend/plugin/gs-custom-settings/913/, then go to the 'Archives' section.
The archives are in a totally random order.
IMO archives should be listed by date (newest first).
RE: Forum ft. requests - shawn_a - 2015-06-12
indeed
RE: Forum ft. requests - shawn_a - 2015-06-13
These are really extend issues not forum...
Archives sorting is fixed

I know, perhaps I should rename this topic to 'General website & forum bugs/ requests'. Think it's a bit silly to start a new topic for those 1-2 issues every once in a while.
RE: Forum ft. requests - shawn_a - 2015-06-13
I am pretty sure there is already and extend wish list thread, not sure if there is a bug thread.
