Diner Forum News

[RE]

It is actually a credit to my propensity for not fucking up that makes it possible for this place to grow into something new at all.  But I can't do it in an impulsive mood that lets me get ahead of where I can't back up.

Well, I used the SMF package on the original Diner for a decade and never got the white screen of death or lost any posts either.  Reason:  I know enough to know I don't know enough to fuck around with it.  You on the other hand know just enough to fuck around with it until something breaks.  Now, in the end this process may yield a more functional and cooler enhanced version of SMF, and you get a lot of enjoyment out of tinkering around with code.  That's why you worked in the field.  Now that your job doesn't challenge your code jockey g-spot, you mess around with it here.  That's fine, but it has the downside we get these periodic White Screen of Death episodes.  Hopefully they don't get worse. lol.

It would be nice if we could get hold of the original Diner DB.  I'm pretty sure my Host (A Small Orange) has a copy.  Probably just have to pay a small fee to download it.  Do you think you could hook it up here?

RE

If you get a download of the database I can hook it up.  Last weeks white screen experience made me learn what the minimum tables to restore messages are.  Now I would be able to restore the couple of posts we lost if I had them.

RE - A beta version of a paged recent posts plugin you want is now active at the bottom of the home page.  I don't know why it was never done this way in the first place.  I am going to improve the buttons before I submit it as a mod to SMF.

The Beta version of the chronological post list is great!

Improvements would be to number the pages and to return to the first page.  Also, a dialogue box/calendar widget to choose a start date.

Reload the page and it will reset to the most recent post.

I sent out a K-woof the other day but got nothing back. Perhaps I was barking up the wrong tree.

You should get an alert from me for using dogchat to send a personal message.  If you leave a message in the forum chat there is no alert and I only saw your woof an hour ago.  Since I have been the only one leaving messages in the chatbox I have not checked it every time I log on.

I need to put something up that indicates a forum comment has been made in the scroll.  It can fade out after a day.  A simple indicator button for me to watch.

Rome was not built in a day, but as you can see, our database is in the process of being repaired.
