Hello

[smithy_dll]

now to pressure the devs to get BBcode functions working, after the glorious battle where users were victorious in getting working posting



sillyness over, i miss the topic review window, ahh well

good job guys, and nice to see the broken rank images fixed

The new bbcode parser won't appear till M-2 me thinks.

[quote]I just had a look at the CVS and it seems that enabling magic URLs does what I said above - puts the message through make_clickable()[/quote]

Not quite, no (note the // before that call)... one of the major things levelled against phpBB 2.0.x was it's comparitive "slowness" compared to other boards. Some people have tried to blame all manner of things for that (usually wrongly ). The major cause of speed differences is simply that 2.0.x did pretty much everything dynamically; bbcode, urls, smilies, word censors, templates ... that takes time and processing power.

In 2.2 what we've (when I say "we've" I mean primarily myself and Ashe ) decided (for now) is to do many more things statically, leaving dynamic processing only where it's appropriate and/or necessary. This means things like urls, most basic bbcode, smilies will be pre-processed. It does "add" more data to the DB and a little extra processing when posting/editing but it means less work at runtime for viewtopic (and reduced load on the server) ... and what's done more often? viewing a topic or editing/posting? ...

The "magic urls" (I thought we always called automatically generated urls "magic urls"?) is done as part of the new message parser. As noted it shortens long URLs (as per requests) and turns urls pointing at the "current board" into relative urls (so if you change the boards location they'll still point to the correct page).

I personally don't like the font colour bar, the colours it creates are all saturated in at least one of the RGB channels, except the transition from red (#FF0000) to black (#000000).

So that means no greys and secondary midtones.

I'd rather have say a websafe/unixsafe colour pallete, example:

http://lambcutlet.org/palette-buttons.html" target="_blank

It's just client side generated HTML, without onClick type event handlers.... I'm just using it to make a point.

But, either would be better from the user POV, as the drop down boxes (in phpBB2.0.x) with their onChange event handler, prove to be a PITA to use... ditto with font size drop down. Infact that would be better implimented as per BBCode buttons.

Actually, didn't Paul mention there is going to be a WYSIWYG "textarea" for 2.2??

ah, OK, I thought that had been uncommented on this board (I didn't actually try out the CVS, just looked at the files )

So make_clickable() (or something similar) is being done on database insertion now, instead of viewtopic?? sounds sensible

Ooh the colour thing's changed. That was fast

Yeah but don't see the effect of the code

[ZoliveR]

Oups... it was me

just looking now, it seems we're using the pallate for the moment. which i find really good, and better than the drop-down menu (which didn't go bac kto default making it very hard to select the same colour twice )

now, to see if it works....

this should be red

[chAos]

argh!!!!

it doesn't work.

wait... the bbcode parser....
