last to-do items for the new forum
These are items which once were working, but not now. In order of importance.
-
Unread Messages page doesn't work anymore. It's supposed to drop off the message from the list, once I've opened it. Currently nothing gets dropped off the list.
In the original to-do priorities Issue, Martin wrote this about Unread Messages (using underlines to create indents)
_____The todo for the unread messages is:
-
Save json packet of read messages to server. Load from server when logged in. -
Add date line with a default cutoff of one month, refreshed from the mark all button. Add that to the packet.
_____Basically I need to strengthen the marked as read mechanisms so they don't forget things.
-
The yellow star button, which jumps to the first unread message in a topic disappeared -
Attachments feature in the New Topic form is broken -
The Inlines item in the New Topic form doesn't work either. (I had never seen it before, so I'm not sure if it ever worked.) -
CSS Design Using the New Topic form, the unordered list didn't work. It looked ok in the the editor (the bullets were visible). But when posted, the bullets are gone: https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/how-to-make-a-screenshot-and-put-it-in-a-message/ Underneath the 1. and 2. (which are not list items) each line is supposed to be a bullet item. If I click Edit button, the bullets are showing again.
In the original to-do priorities Issue, Martin wrote this about bullet list and attachments:
-
CSS doesn't define bullet points for comment-text
correctly, this is a design issue. List style should be set so it looks like the edit box's design when inside the comment-text div tag. -
There is a javascript error that is stopping the attachments functionality from working.
#331 (closed)
From the original list, which was here:-
Python-Django Setting batch emailing is currently sending emails out right away (bug) (I'm not really sure how important this is - from Martin's todo list -
Python-Django Split out message feature needs an option to merge the split messages into an existing topic, as well as a new topic (if possible)
Attachment lightbox?
-
CSS Add slick to the gallery items (js and css are already there), -
CSS @prkos show all images as original sizes, with CSS limiting leakage -
Python-Django @doctormo cleanup Attachments code. The file resources_presentation.html
was deleted. We're now only usingresources_inline.html
for the attachments. Thecomment_thread.html
is still using{% if not comment.attachments.is_presentation %}
but it's now redundant.
Note that I dropped 2 or 3. A couple of them had no proponents to fight for them, and I didn't understand them anyway. And one more that was less than vital.
But there are some new things, that I just didn't test until now. We had our first spammer on the forum, and I found it was torture getting to the banning interface. So we might need some new navigation around that. Plus, banning them did not remove them from the website. I had to go to their profile and flag them, via gallery moderation.
See new Issue for further discussion (#366 (closed))
There will also need to be a good bit of work setting up boards and categories. Since no one has volunteered to help moderate, I guess that will be my job as well. So soon I'll set up a new Issue with those requests. Not unless you want to give me the ability to change them myself? I have no idea if it would be within my abilities. It's probably all in code anyway, right?
So unless I realize yet something else that slipped my poor old mind, this is all the remaining work left to do. We'll be discussing the formal opening in the May Vectors team meeting.
Martin, if you can't be at the meeting, can you tell me if mid-summer/early autumn would be reasonable to have these fixed? That's my tentative opening "date", stressing "tentative". I hope we can finalize it at the meeting.
Thanks!
