General site updates, TODO list and discussion

u/Yuki December 10, 2014, 02:59:47 AM

It just says that the topic doesn't exist.

How it works, I pretty much modified the 404 handler to point to a php file that parses the path, if it's not integers then it points to the actual 404.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 10, 2014, 03:01:57 AM

Aah ok, I was unsure. Imagine if topic 404 (if we reach that

) was a super important CW release or something.

EDIT: I am also editing Omnom CSS because two divs still had the wrong colors. I also replaced the Extra channel alert message, since it was completely irrelevant to our site.

Found a small bug. On the forum drop down, Board Index gives the incorrect link:. http://codewalr.us/index.php instead of http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=forum

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 10, 2014, 07:23:55 PM

Thanks for reporting. I'll fix it asap.

I also can't seem to track down what causes the menu bar glitch when searching the forums (there's a green rectangle to the right of the Logout link). I'll need to check with the default subs.php file to see if my modification is what causes the problem.

u/Yuki December 10, 2014, 10:32:33 PM

Heh, don't worry, topic 404 will redirect to the right place.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 11, 2014, 04:10:33 AM

Confirming that when using HTTPS:
-We get warned that our certificate is invalid and asked if we want to continue anyway
-OmnomIRC doesn't work in that mode (invalid URL)

OmnomIRC still also has lag despite the recent changes, but at least when enabled forum-wide it no longer causes the entire site to take 30 seconds to load if reloaded before OmnomIRC was loaded last time, so we just have to browse normally if we don't use Omnom.

EDIT: UPDATE:

-Bandcamp store redesign complete.
-About section updated with staff group descriptions. Updated staff list and site description.

Yup, you guys can thank sorunome for the help on omnomirc. I might let him into the server and forum admin for a while so that he can check things out. If he agrees that is.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 11, 2014, 09:21:10 AM

Although while I welcome his help and that I would normally trust him with full site access, he was extremely hostile to the CW idea at first (and to myself as a result) despite the motives behind it. Unless he (partially) changed his mind?

u/novenary December 11, 2014, 10:18:31 AM

Well he took the initiative of helping us so I guess he changed his mind now.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 11, 2014, 04:06:08 PM

Aaah ok good to hear.

Also some problems I ran into on OmnomIRC just now: 3 warnings and 3 errors:

Although I got the go from Cooliojazz to use his Recent post mod, Coolio pmed me again today because it turns out that I also need to ask Eeems as well (done) before, so this is why it was removed for the time being. In other words it's another Mighty No.9 vs Capcom scenario.

It will be put back up if we get official confirmation that we can use it, otherwise we will switch to something like http://codewalr.us/index.php?page=codewalrusnews

If we don't get permission, I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be too difficult to modify existing code to suit the same purpose. At the very least, we can make a few changes to the code going on in that link to give a little more information.

u/Dream of Omnimaga December 12, 2014, 12:13:42 AM

We can create a custom SimplePortal block based on the link above. With Nice Tooltips suppirt it would rule.

EDIT: I updated the navigation with the temporary recent posts page at http://codewalr.us/index.php?page=recent2

Social buttons have been added to the forums, so when you view a topic you can like it on Facebook or share it on Twitter.

There is now also a block on the front page where starting Saturday, you will be able to like, follow or access our Facebook and Twitter pages.

In addition to that, below each post, you can select a short version of that post URL for easier sharing. There is another one at the bottom of the topic if you just want to link to the topic, not a specific post.
