  • Is there any chance to make it compatible with Vanilla 2.0.18.10?

    Thanks

    When I go to change an author, it doesn't offer a choice from a drop out list as I type (like, for example, adding users to conversations.)

    Is it meant to?

    If not, would it be a big nuisance to add it as a feature?

  • LincLinc Detroit Admin

    @jvil The hooks are different; I don't know if that's even possible to support both versions at once.

    @whu606 Eh? Yeah, it's definitely supposed to autocomplete. I actually got the code directly from Conversations.

    Curious...

    I'm on 2.1b1, and I've just tried it again with all other plugins disabled, but still not getting the list, which I do get if I try to start a new PM message.

    The actual change works fine if I type in the full user name.

    I only tested against master (2.2) :\

    I'm wondering if jquery.autocomplete.js was still a separate entity in 2.1 and it needs to be included manually.

    I probably got this wrong, but tried editing line 88 to this

    $Sender->AddJsFile('authorselector.js', 'jquery.autocomplete.js', 'plugins/AuthorSelector');

    after copying jquery.automplete.js from the library, to the js folder of AuthorSelector, but it didn't seem to make a difference.

    I was looking for something like this after I split discussions using split and merge.

    Much love!

    It can be done as follows:

    • Change the event used to render the element.
    • Replace the rendering logic, which is incompatible with Vanilla 2.0 (2.1+ use an array of options, or <li> elements, while 2.0 uses <span> elements.
    • Replace the JavaScript that triggers the autocomplete of the user name.
    • Replace the logic to update a discussion's author (it currently uses method DiscussionModel::SetField(), which doesn't exist in 2.0).
    • Test, test and test some more.
    • Optional, but highly recommended: make sure that the logic for 2.0 and 2.1 live together, by implementing two separate classes to handle the operations (i.e. avoid scattering if(APPLICATION_VERSION > 2.0) everywhere in the code).
    • Test everything again.
    • Profit.

    Thanks for the LOLs, but my suggestions were real. :)
    I actually tested them quickly and, with the above process, the plugin would work perfectly on Vanilla 2.0 (sorry, no code available becauseI threw it together out of curiosity). I stopped at the DiscussionModel::SetField() because I just wanted to check how difficult it would be to introduce backward compatibility (always a must, in my view).

    @Lincoln here is an icon I think is appropriate , see if you like it :)

    Could we do just the brown paper bag part? Or if we need something below it, maybe they're wearing a suitcoat or something?

    here is one of each, by the way I keep getting this error when trying to upload

    Received error (0) from authentication service ([0] Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to identity.api.rackspacecloud.com:443 )

    in addition to your error

    I got errors 90% of the time trying to upload on this forum, ever sisnce they modifiied the cdn aspect of it about a year or so ago. Can't upload anything greate than 32kb without a failure (it doesn't pick up properly after a timeout.) I already posted on github - bit was closed and never fixed.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    @peregrine There's a 30 second timeout which means it's limited by whatever you can upload on your connection speed in that amount of time. It's a cloud setting we decided on, not something to do with Vanilla itself.

  • LincLinc Detroit Admin

    @vrijvlinder Thanks! The suit guy is committed for the next release.

    thanks for the reply Lincoln. I know you guys decided upon it. could you increase the cloud setting to 60 seconds, or would it wreak havoc on your site. it would help me a bit.

    Yes I like the way it came out too :)

    Seems like it cuts you off before 30 sec. I clicked choose file and chose file less than 15 sec. Then upload is what hung, got the error notice .

    I refreshed the page emptied the cache tried again. Happened again 3 times until I was able to upload . My upload speed is 5.66 Mbps.

    Unlike peregrine, this is the first time I see it happen.

    @vrijvlinder I think you experienced an unrelated actual issue.
