RPGDX > Forums > General Discussion > Forums upgraded to 2.0.6 and shared login session

Bjorn

Been busy again, it seems I had nothing else to do the past few days. Because of my modifications to phpBB2, the upgrade was a bit complicated but it was nothing WinMerge couldn't solve. :-) Anyway, as the topic goes, we now have phpBB 2.0.6 which should be a tad more secure and up-to-date.

And, finally, the login session is now shared between the forums and RPGDX. Logout at the forums, and you'll logout at both places. Login, and you'll login at both places. Should work quite well, report any problems to me as usually.

This last thing means that RPGDX should now be able to work without cookies as well, appending the sid to each URL. I could have missed some URLs though and especially form submits, so if you are suddenly logged out using a certain form or link, I'd like to know where that was.

Yay. Congrats, Bjorn, this place just keeps getting better and better. I was going to complain that the new font was too small, but then I realized I was just viewing it at 90% magnification. Oh, my crazy browser.

The "mark all read" button doesn't seem to be working for me, though. Also, do you think it would be possible to have a "mark all read" for all forums at once, in addition to one for each individual forum?

Really great work.

Bjorn: you're forums don't care for the strike tag. <strike>strike tag</strike>. (Or, for that matter, the span tag. <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">span tag</span>.)

Jihgfed, there's a "Mark all forums read" on the main forums page. Maybe that's what you are looking for? I hope it works. I will look into the "Mark all topics read" problem you mention.

LeoDraco, while HTML posting might be allowed, not all tags can be used, for safety reasons mainly and for keeping you guys from going crazy on your layout. :-) I'll see if I can enable striking through though.

Edit: I seem to notice a slight problem in 'new post indication' when opening a topic. The first new post seems not to be indicated as new sometimes...

Ok, LeoDraco, you got your strikes, though keep in mind that <strike> and <s> are actually deprecated. But as Mozilla renders them fine, I'm fine with them. :-)

Ok, Jihgfed, thanks for pointing out that problem, it should be working now. A small change I forgot after I made the optimization. The slight problem I noticed was due to the same type of thing (< instead of <=, heh), so should be fixed as well.

Yeah, I realize they are deprecated. That's why I provided that span example (as that's a kosher, standards-compliant strike). I don't use them all too often, but there are times where a strike-through is a Good Thing™.

Oh, I see the "mark all forums read" button now. I was looking in the wrong place before, thanks.

I've always wished I could post using CSS, but I can imagine all the craziness that would result in, so I'm not going to suggest it.

Good work, Bjorn!

Don't blame it on yourself, Jihgfed. The link is in the wrong place, not your eyes. But I'm not going to change it anyway. :-)

And yeah, I'm a little reluctant allowing <span> with the style attribute to be used. I think there are enough options as it is.

Yeah, too much trouble. :-P The next major version of phpBB might support custom bbcode tags, so I will do that after upgrading to that one. Also, I don't want the data in the database to become incompatible with future phpBB versions.

Bjorn: there is something to be said about rolling your own fora system.
