    I added the ability to see comments from the person's profile. I am trying to get the comment link go directly to the comment but right now it only goes to the submission. That is a little bit bigger of an issue that I will continue to work on. Good news is that it is working and the sort works too.

    For those that have 10000000 comments, I will be putting in the pages but for now you just get to view them all regardless of the number. Will fix that before too long as well.

    The sort works on them too.

    Two things.


    I seem to have been demoted in level advancement. Which isn't a big deal but I have lost one of my HOH votes. I still have the requirements for one level higher but no dice.

    Second. I tried sending you a PM from the home page. It sent me to the forum to a log in page and when I tried logging in it gave me an error. I had to back out, log into the forums then find your profile through the forums to get it to log in and send a PM.

    I tried to do the edit vote thing and it didn't work for me.

    Or I should say delete vote so I could revote on a submisison and it deleted my comment and wont let me vote.

    That was ANOTHER good one! Thanks for spotting that one and letting me know Mourn.

    Should be working now.

    The vote/bug feature.

    No, you cannot 'edit' a vote. You can delete it off of a submission, but you cannot re-add a vote to that comment. I believe I have even removed the ability to vote while editing and I put the not next to the "Delete Vote" button.

    That is how it works, and I think it appropriate.

    If you want to change your vote, you can't just go back and change it, you must submit another comment. If it was a mistaken vote, then oops, put in another comment or just vote....but if it is a legit change then hopefully you will comment on the change as well.

    When viewing a persons submission:

    If you click on the submission link - goes to full submission.
    Click on comment link - take you directly to that comment. Not a big deal but a bug I finally fixed.

    That bug actually infected all comments so now if you link to a comment it should correctly go there.

    I added the pagination to the view.php pages so comments/author submissions/codices/etc lists are now paginated according to the setting in your profile.

    EDIT: got comments so am happy now. :)
    Maybe just can't post as a different user when voting... who knows.

    Can't post comments as another user. I have returned Finghaart's Sausages to the rightful owner (that is, me :) ), but can't return now to it the following comments:

    It makes sense that a shop like this could exist (both with and without the optional type). It would work well if the PCs could get used to going to the sausage man (e.g. PCs: "We get some lunch before going to meet the Duke who's hired us." GM: "You spot a nice sausage shop on the corner. You really enjoy the sausages."). Much later, when they're richer and more famous, maybe one will try a "special sausage" - and maybe will feel much guilt later. It could also be a potential avenue to track evil cultists by - if Finghaart could be persuaded to divulge the identity of his supplier.

    New bug.... if you dont have at least five submissions that have been voted on, people can view your in work (hidden submissions) by going to your profile and looking at your 5 highest rated.  In work(hidden) submissions do show up with 0-0 votes and can be read, even though they can not be accessed by any other way (except by author).

    In the chat my name comes up as Nosredn. School computers suck. :P

    Heres an image.

    Edit: I just noticed in your signature it says: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galax" Is that a typo or is there a connection here?

    Edit (again :P ): I'm being hit by these strange symbols appearing in various posts.

    Leaking filter?

    When I try to view all my submissions, there seems to be a leak somewhere... Take my Prophecies of Hope campaign for instance... I try to find it, it is sorted both in freetext as Coldforged and under my nick. It shows in none of those listings.

    Strange distribution of XP:
    I checked in on Mourngrymn's new item and it had been viewed 8 times. It was of middle long length and had 15XP. No one had voted on it and it had been posted today... As far as I know there is no quest active.

    Then I checked an old post of mine with longer text and more comments and one vote. It had 10 xp.

    This sounds mighty strange.

    Yesterday, I was rank 7. High Scholar of Slipping Logic, or something like that, and today I am a 6. tHane Adept of Plentiful musings, and I only started with 24 votes, instead of the norm 25.

    My XP is still around the same number, did I get demoted? Or is 6 a level up from 7?

  14. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #54
    Well, the extra XP stem from the Quest bug. The quests actually did get accepted, there are two of them in there, so any items submitted have been getting the Quest bonus XP.

    Duplicate Quests have been deleted so that is solved for now and will fix itself when I fix the Quest submission process.

    You realize that every item submitted no matter what will recieve a bonus. This will, however, help design a system to remove XP from items that don't fit the Quest criteria.

    I did a quick fix to the current Quest to make it visible since there have been numerous posts that recieved the bonus. At least it is tracking them and we can fix them later.

    The Level Bug. That is a pesky critter. Will work on that. The votes however is an odd occurance and quite impossible from my standpoint since it is a single script that updates everybody. So if you had 24 then everybody would have 24 and vice versa. Moon probably added a vote of yours from somewhere or something I would guess.

    Don't have time to mess with the level thing tonight though. Sorry.

    I have 8 submissions and over 200 experience. According to the table in Citadel Explained, that should qualify me for level 3 Master of the Plain Thought. Instead, I read as level 1 Grandest of Low Scribblers.

    Wouldn't really care at all, but I would like that HoH nomination point.

    People can't post Idea Seeds!

    Cheka complained of this, and Mourngrymn, too. I guess it is time to slightly lessen our administrative privileges. :)


    Mourngrymn:   hey what am I? I can help...
    Michael_Jotne_Slayer:   ...Maybe....
    manfred:   Volunteers! So: On the Idea Seed page, do you have an Add Submission link in the top menu?
    Mourngrymn:   yes I do, but when I clicked it previous nothing came up.
    MoonHunter:   Mourn you can help too. Click the Idea Seeds on the right hand column
    MoonHunter:   When you transer to that page, you should see an add submission link between forum and the search box.
    MoonHunter:   First, Do you see it?
    Mourngrymn:   I did, nothing happened
    MoonHunter:   Second if you do see and click it, does the page change.
    MoonHunter:   okay.
    MoonHunter:   MJS, is that the same for you?
    Mourngrymn:   I see Idea Listing in center, list and groups of Ideas on the left... at top Add sub... when I click it sends right back to the same place.
    Michael_Jotne_Slayer:   Same for me.
    MoonHunter:   okay, checka gets the next page and can't do a submission.
    Mourngrymn:   ok, it just loaded again and says Add an Idea Seed. That took a long time. But nothing shows up.
    MoonHunter:   Okay. There is something funky going on, on the back end then.

    Expensive, huh?
    Perhaps it is time for a "Strolen's paypal" icon. You know... A flashy green dollar sign that we can click to give you some cash ;)
    You won't get rich but it might help some? (Or perhaps the paypal account costs more than you'd earn?)

  19. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #59
    Have the paypal account, not ready to beg yet. ;)

    Whatever happens I will be able to get financing for the first year. I have some familia investors that I can convince to donate to a just cause....and a birthday coming up that I can use as the catalyst for the beg investment opportunity.

    Sometime after March we will move servers...again. I will find out when my promotion test is next week (will be between Feb and Apr) and my birthday is in March so that will be the timing of it all.

    BUGGAGE FOUND! This has to do with the "blurb" intros to each post. One in particular this one has a wierd blurb (not sure why the heck he did it, but hey, fix'em as they come) that I believe isn't getting wrapped, and it's distorting the screen, roughly on the same scale was when I posted a link in the chatbox that distorted everything.

    Who knows, perhaps it's just because I'm using IE. :shrug:

    EDIT: Having talked with Druid, I had him change the intro to test if that was the bug, and it definitely is. Hop to it Big S!

  21. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #61
    Whee. Yet another bug found. I must be good at this. I was checking to see if I could upload a picture or whatnot, so I made a new post. However, when I deleted it, I still have the XP for it. Explaination?

  22. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #62
    I don't know if this is a bug or not, but some of us have been experiencing a random disappearance of our latest forum posts.

    Found a small problem with the submission sorting function.  I was trying to look at all of the items in the "Combat" category.  It showed me the first page of them, fine, no problem.  But if I tried to go to the next page in that category, it sent me to the total item listing, not just the category I wanted.  This happens no matter which page link I pick.  Don't know if this is a problem with just that category, or just the items, or what, but I shall be doing some experiments to find out.

    *EDIT* Checked all of the item categories.  The sorting works perfectly well if you sort by type.  If you try to sort by Usage, it'll give you the first page of the category, but then, if you click the link to advance to another page, it'll drop you onto that page of the total item listing.

    *EDIT* Checked plots.  It works sorting by Hook, but does the same thing if sorting by Type.  I'm starting to see a pattern; it looks like however the sorting function works, it doesn't like sorting by the secondary category.  Still gonna check the rest to be sure.

    *EDIT* Checked NPCs.  Sorting is fine when doing it by Influence, but have that same problem when sorting by Focus.

    Cool, excellent bug report Ria! You are dubbed Your Holiness of Flying Monkeys and All Encompassing Bug Reports.

    I know exactly where to look to fix this, thanks to your wonderful Vulcan lineage, and will try and do this one tonight!!!

  25. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #65
    Ne, are we supposed to have to click the "Remove from Quest" link twice to have it go through?  When I was cleaning up Shards of the Storm, clicking it once reloaded the page, and clicking it again removed it.  I'm not saying this is a problem, I'm just not sure that that's the way it's supposed to work.

    With the growing concern, which I have as well, I did some research and updated some stuff.

    I switched from Zend Optimizer to eaccelerator. It optimizes and caches the scripts so they don't have to be compiled everytime. That will help with the speed of the site (which I didn't have an issue with but this is suppose to help quite a bit). Supposed to be better than zend.

    I modified some of the database settings to see if some extra memory in a couple variables will help. It was suggested on the smf forum.

    I also loaded a cron job so that at midnight or so all the tables will automatically get repaired and optimized. This might help optimize them and make them less prone to error.

    We shall see....

    Well, I did a simple search, looking for one of the Age of Vog thingies, and got this.  All of the things on the search page are marked as armor.  It's not really life-threatening, but it could get kinda annoying.

    Aspergoi ( Armor )
        From the dawn of time, ever since Man crawled from the seas and the mud and looked upon the mountains of his world, awe, reverence and fear was born in his soul for the wondrous and terrible volcanoes, the Pillars of Ash and Flame
    Vog's Reckoning ( Armor )
        The Age of Vog...The Unending Winter of Discontent, The Epoch of Smoke and Ash.
    The Age of Vog ( Armor )
        The beginings of a new campaign...
    The Tower of Thunder and Gold ( Armor )
        Three days from the nearest shore, nestled on top of a small heath island stands the Tower of Thunder and Gold. More than one hundred wizards and sorcerers live here year round, devoted to the continuation of the magical arts. There are many times more students, consors, and things only describable as others


    STROLEN EDIT: FIXED THIS ONE! Thanks for mentioning it!!

  28. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #68
    Um, I'm scared.  All the scary code is scaring me.

    On top of the page, above the banner, I see all 4 lines of this-
        SQL/DB Error -- [Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_1fc0_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)]

        SQL/DB Error -- [Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_1fc0_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)]

        SQL/DB Error -- [Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_1fc0_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)]

        SQL/DB Error -- [Can't create/write to file '/tmp/#sql_1fc0_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)]

    And then, where the random submission and golden submissions should be I get this instead.

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/strolen/public_html/theme/castle/format_min.tpl.php on line 39

    And instead of a random idea thingy at the very bottom of the page I get this.

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/strolen/public_html/theme/castle/footer.tpl.php on line 14

    I get it in both FF and IE, so I don't think it's just my browser acting up.

    Server was down for maintenance.

    Getting an error with an attachment...

    Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

    Please consult your server administrator for more information.

    Problem is, the file is 1.5KB, it instantly sends me to that page (meaning it took a minimal amount of time to try and add it), and I even changed the extension from .h to .txt so it'd be an appropriate filetype. What's up?

    Can't vote, along with Murometz on Moon's Wretched Places scrolldex.

    Hint: there is one submission linked to that codex, and we have both voted on it.

  31. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #71
    And, in Emhyr's Puzzle http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=677 is a doubled comment along with the vote.

    Double Post! :)

    When someone adds to a scroll, their profile is not updated. This happened here: http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2938 . Notice how demagogue has no submissions, yet he contributed to sparK!'s scroll...

    Shouldn't that be recorded somewhere?

  33. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #73
    Scroll submissions count as a comment at the moment. We could perhaps log them entirely differently I suppose. That would be more fair. Will look at this and manfred's as well as soon as I can.

  34. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #74
    Added a new submission that has been in work for a bit, and it didnt show up in the recent submissions box on the front page. I know for a while that was normal, but wasnt it altered a while back so that when a sub was released, it was popped out brand new and shiny?

    Also, pages on the main site keep re-loading when you revisit them (go back in the browser). This is set by HTTP headers of the server. It is very annoying in some cases.

    "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"

    Hint: there is one submission linked to that codex, and we have both voted on it.


    BUMP! :)
    Still can't vote on a Codex, that has a linked submission where I have already voted.

    ---

    Aside, while I'm on a Codex thing: now I know why I had a discomfort with hidden vs shown comments on a Codex. I've opened one, and the comments were hidden - which I take for expected behaviour. I have commented; later I re-visited the Codex to find the comments shown.

    So depending on what you have done before, comments that were hidden (collapsed) can be suddenly shown - which can seem as unexpected behaviour. Mystery solved, though this note belongs more into the Polishing thread.

  37. Re: Official V2.0 Bug Thread

    #77
    thats strange, because Moon was able to vote on the scroll and some of the linked pieces.

    Quick Links...

    Firefox - Doesn't work
    Internet Explorer - Does work
    AOL (DIE, DIE, DIE!!!) - Does work

    And you're using Opera, right Strolen?

    Another one. 
    The quest label has stayed with two items that were created during the quest time, but are still in the advice requested section.  A Gasp of Glass and Limberlost.

    If you use the apostrophe character " ' " in the search box at the main page, it automatically adds a backslash " / " and says it can't find whatever you're looking for.
