Re: [RFC|Accepted] Improved template engine

OK, so what you are really talking about is a definite architecture change to the templating system: that is the separation on the data context and the template renderer. The data object contains all of the template data including _tpl_data and _rootref, and the render object uses the data object to...

Re: A small CSS optimisation

OK, let's kill this thread then and cover it as part of the jQuery and Prosilver optimisation discussions. :-)

Re: Use of the append_sid function

Hummm, I need to look at the code and the apache log analysis, but my current view is that it isn't as simple as that. For example, once the sid parameter is set then it seems to be latched, so that subsequent pages have it, even if the <forum cookie prefix>_sid cookie is return as a request header....

Re: [RFC|Accepted] Improved template engine

This broke everything because the template engine expects $this to have template variables, which in the executor/renderer is not the case. Therefore I will be adding a "context" class which will store variables used during template evaluation. Why bother? I had to solve this prob in my o...

Use of the append_sid function

If you grep " append_sid( " in the source tree then you will see that many URL links within a PHP document explicitly append a SID, despite the use of a cookie to maintain the sid as well. I can't understand the reason for this duplication. OK, I realise that some users can disable cookies...

Re: A small CSS optimisation

This one isn't quite as simple as I suggested because of the current implementation of styleswitcher.js which is attached to the resize button at the right of the header crumb-trail bar. This currently uses a function setActiveStyleSheet(sheet) to cause the change and this uses the DOM to change the...

Re: Bug Reporting for Language Packs

Maël, I'd already said that you'd fixed this by return. No my point is about the process and integration of support. IIRC we've recently replaced the old NL database with a new Download->languages page. This new page looks sexy, but from an admin's point of view, personally this is a backward step. ...

Bug Reporting for Language Packs

I recently submitted a bugrep about a mistranslation, which was then immediately closed with the comment Resolution: Invalid. Please bring this to the attention of the language pack maintainer. Languages other than British English are not maintained by the phpBB team. Surely this practice doesn't ma...

Optimisation of download/file.php

This was a point discussed on another topic: Improving phpBB performance for small installations , but it's really a separate issue which merits forking into its own topic. Whenever possible, the [phpBB] application should correctly negotiate the revalidation protocols for quasi-static content. The ...

Re: Improving phpBB performance for small installations

Yup, I've been looking at the code and had already come to that conclusion.
