Title: Wittmeister's Feature List
Post by: Sir Lüc on December 04, 2019, 06:18:58 AM
I'm using this post to keep track of feature requests and to announce progress on stuff.

NOTE: This is all frontend stuff. Administration and the like are under the direction of the Chancery.

Completed features [some of what has been completed since the opening, excluding minor tweaks]:
- Weekly backup function for the Royal Archivist
- "New" icons for boards on mobile - requested by Ian P - Now the "WittGlobe" icons should be visible on mobile.
- "Latest 59" - requested by Miestrâ - The link has been added to the top navigation bar
- Avatar size restriction change - requested by Eðo - Avatars are now only restricted to 100px in width
- Video embed - requested by Miestrâ - Just type a link to a video inline and Witt will do the rest. Supported websites: a ton, including YT, FB (video, image and post), Twitch, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Instagram, any remote direct URL, ESPN, Reuters, Vine, Streamable, Soundcloud, Imgur...
- User tagging in posts - Just type @ and the display name of an user.
- Light theme - You can now select between a dark and a light theme. Go to your profile -> Modify Profile -> Look and Layout (http://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?action=profile;area=theme;u=2) to try it out.
- "Like" feature - requested by Miestrâ - Will probably still be tweaked a bit
- Table improvements and additional HTML-style tags - requested by various people - Check out this post (https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?topic=13.msg255#msg255)
- Shoutbox - requested by Ian P - The unofficial Discord is embedded on the bottom of the website
- Tapatalk integration
- Anti-forum crash PHP kill cronjob




Wishlist of features:
- CSS tweaks - ongoing tweaking of the interface for Light and Dark themes, as I notice (mostly minor) flaws
- Tweaks to the mobile version (especially the navbar)
- Better tagging - username tagging has been abandoned, but I'd still like to improve the tagging function a bit
- Icon overhaul - replace stock icons for post editing, emojis, etc.
- "Colourful" theme (probably Bicoloreu themed variant of the Light theme)
- "Legacy" theme (mimicking Proboards for PB nostalgics)
- Newsletter - figuring out how to use the forum newsletter function
- WYSIWYG editor - the inbuilt one is a bit buggy
- Mention-style notifications for liked and quoted posts
- Talossan translation of the interface (will need collaboration with Ladintschen) - this is in progress on Github
- Exploring a different Discord integrator for the Shoutbox

Sorry to be a pain.  I've linked to my old heraldic avatar and it's showing up skewed and squashed.  Is this something that can be tweaked?

I'm looking into it. It seems to be hardcoded by the forum software to a 65x65 size, so it won't be as easy as editing some CSS, so I'll have to do some delving.

Edit: whoops, for once it was a matter of editing the actual settings. Fixed now to max 100 width, unbounded height.

Two things:
1. The link on the website should probably be changed.
2. Because every board is monitored by an officeholder of some kind where applicable, and these are the people to whom those with initial complaints about a post should address themselves (per Lex.J.2), then we should probably list the person(s) in question on each board's description.  For example, the Dean of the College of Arms for that board.

1. If you mean the Witt link on talossa.com, that isn't under my purview.

2. Yup, I will definitely do that once people start registering. (Actually, hopefully moderators get listed automatically, I haven't checked that yet)

My belief is that the Witt link should be changed once The Switch officially happens. ETA: and we're only at 21 signups, less than half the way there, so it may be weeks.

Sounds like it's using a cached image. You may need to explicitly reload the image or clear your cache.

Yes, but it's probably the CSS. As I have explained on the other thread, I did fiddle with that part of the page, but it works just fine for me. Try doing a CTRL-F5, Miestrâ.

For reference, (mostly for people who understand CSS), that picture has only a height:40px attribute. The image SHOULD resize, but it doesn't. I'll try adding a width:auto but I don't think that would fix it.

@Miestrâ Schiva, UrN and @Sir Alexandreu Davinescu , what browser are you using?

Right, we now should have an operational "like" function, which I'm still tweaking to make it blend in a bit more.

Edit: forgot to say, "likes" have been disabled for the Cosa, Senate and Courthouse boards, for the moment. The final call on this will have to be made by the Chancery.

Something that may interest the Government, and that I totally forgot about, is that there is a newsletter function that might come in handy for sending out summaries of Witt activity. This is probably worth exploring when we're fully up and running.

Off the top of your head, Miestrâ, what is the governing 'authority' on the currently-accepted translations of people's names into Talossan?  I've had the Book of Names for years, but if CUG or SIGN is ultimately the keepers of such information, that would be good to know.
Title: Re: Wittmeister's Feature List
Post by: Miestră Schivă, UrN on December 05, 2019, 02:58:28 PM
There is currently no authority except common usage. Since "Still Into This" passed the CÚG no longer has any standing in law and SIGN doesn't really exist yet.
Title: Re: Wittmeister's Feature List
Post by: Sir Lüc on December 06, 2019, 05:15:46 AM
1) I'm looking into the mention by username thing, as it requires editing the PHP/JS code.
Update on this: the PHP part is done, I am now on the JS bit (which handles the little list of possible matches when you're entering an username to tag)
Final update: it works (I think)

2) We now have default Bicoloreu avatars like on Witt XI, but I can turn them off if you don't like them as they weren't really requested by anyone.

3) Figured I'd spend a word on moderators, since among the registrations so far we have a lot of people who could already moderate their own board (provincial governors, justices, Ladintschen, civil servants...). This is obviously the plan, but until the Chancery officially sets a policy on that, I'm not going to overreach and give privileged access to anyone.

Just like on Proboards, the only difference is that the autocomplete is integrated.

Type an "@", then start typing the username (not the display name) of whomever you want to mention. An autocomplete list will then appear and you can select the member you want.

Once you post the message, the @<username> is transformed into a link to the profile and the user is notified.

It works, but we need to know the 'username'?  Someone tagging me would probably type Eov... getting no results, not thinking that my username is eddieg.. 

I can't tag Marcel... I have no idea what his username is  ;D

Well, your username is the same as the one on PB, so most people who tagged you there would know what it is. I agree with Miestrâ that tagging by username is superior - it's immutable and usually simpler to remember than an exact spelling (especially when you start putting titles in your display name).

To check someone's username, just head to their profile page.

Edit: Btw, Marcel's is "M. E. P. Tafial", which I dislike (look at those SPACES!), but oh well.

It'll be tough for those of us who use initials. My login name is sp, like on the wiki. I'm assuming ad has done the same.

@Sir Alexandreu Davinescu

Edit: Yeah.

Interesting that it uses a BBCode enclosure. If you hover over people's names you can see their user number (u=##). In a pinch, you can find someone's U# and then tag people manually by number, like:
[member=21]Sev[/member]
makes:
@Sev

(fill in whatever nickname you want between the tags.)

Yes, that's how the mod works.

1) Search the text of the post for @<username> (the original mod, before my edit, was @<displayname>)
2) For each of those, find numeric ID and real name and replace the <username> bit
3) Send a notification and mantain DB tables with a list of seen and unseen mentions

Of course, if you do this manually, you are doing point 2) only. You get no notification that way.

Right, and for the life of me I can't seem to find where to change that. I apologise for the inconvenience.

I'm reverting it back to the original tagging-by-displayname, and if needed I can see if I can make the display name autocomplete more helpful.

Edit: Should have now been reverted back.

It's really too bad it works either/or. Now it's easier to find my name (@Sevastáin Pinátsch ) or ( @Miestrâ Schiva, UrN ) but the links aren't there. And your name @L... doesn't autocomplete without the accent over the "u".

Overall though, I'm really pleased with the ability to control and customize this space, and very grateful for all the work you're doing on it.

We found it very useful, a few times, for the Admins of the old Witt to be able to tell what IP address a post had come from.  To do this, we had to insert some code in the board's scripts, which ProBoards allowed.  I'd strongly recommend, if it's at all possible to do this here, that we do.

Yes, luckily on this platform IP logging is completely automated. Admins can see the source IP for a post immediately above the signature.

Post by: Eðo Grischun on December 07, 2019, 03:03:56 PM
Is there a way to place a site-wide limit on signature sizes?  Like a limit to number of lines?  I like seeing the signatures, so don't want to turn off the ability to see them, but someone right now has a signature that literally fills my whole screen, on desktop, on a 38 inch high-res screen!  It's counting as 20 lines of text and space in a fairly large font size.

It consumes nearly a whole screen on mobile as well.

So yeah, this would be nice, unless it's better defined as a netiquette issue.

Yeah.  I don't want to turn them off. I like seeing what people put in the sigs - when people don't take the piss with them.

I'm nearly sure Proboards had a line limit on signatures......went and checked, it was a 500 character limit.  The option probably exists for this forum too. 
Title: Re: Wittmeister's Feature List
Post by: Sir Lüc on December 08, 2019, 05:31:09 AM
Yes, I originally set a 600 character limit (2 x the original 300 which was a bit short to account for image URLs and BB tags).

There is a separate line limit as well (which is currently uncapped) and I think a font size limit as well.

I'm happy to change any of those values based on feedback. Any suggestions on what I should set those to?

I'm reverting it back to the original tagging-by-displayname, and if needed I can see if I can make the display name autocomplete more helpful
It's really too bad it works either/or. Now it's easier to find my name [...] but the links aren't there. And your name @L... doesn't autocomplete without the accent over the "u".

Yeah, that's what I meant by trying to "make the autocomplete more helpful", and also a reason why I preferred username tagging (before I found out that SMF essentially doesn't give a damn about regular username restrictions).

Off topic, I have tried addressing complaints about table formatting. Now you can do stuff like:

[table border=number]table content[/table]
[td colspan=number rowspan=number]table cell[/td]


As a bonus, some HTML stuff is now available for BBCode (note: not sure where you would define a class...):

[div class="class_of_style" style="rules"]paragraph with style[/div]
[span class="class_of_style" style="rules"]text with style[/span]


In general, you can use class and style attributes with hr, img, li/list and table/td/tr.

An immediate example would be a "nice" 100% width table with a colspan:

[table style="width:100%;" border=1]
[tr] [td colspan=3][b]BIGASS HEADER[/b][/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]2.1[/td] [td]2.2[/td][td]2.3[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]3.1[/td] [td]3.2[/td][td]3.3[/td][/tr]
[/table]


[table style="width:100%;" border=1]
[tr] [td colspan=3]BIGASS HEADER[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]2.1[/td] [td]2.2[/td][td]2.3[/td][/tr]
[tr] [td]3.1[/td] [td]3.2[/td][td]3.3[/td][/tr]
[/table]

There already is a link for likes you receive, but it's hidden - it's supposed to be below "New Posts + Replies" on the header but it's not rendered because the header bar is fixed to 100px height (edit: 60px actually). I've been mulling on a way to move that thing in a clean/pleasant way and I'll try something now.

As per *notifications* specifically, I really want to have mention-style notifications for when you are quoted and liked as well. That is not as straightforward though, but it will definitely go on the feature request list.

I think it was probably my knighthood, five years ago.  They are fairly rare.  Prior to that it was the Reunision knighthoods of Litz and Miestra, and prior to that it was Mick's knighthood for Chancery work for his four years of work.  MPF probably would have gotten one for Chancery stuff if he hadn't begun publicly demanding one as his due (only speculating, but that's my guess).

Shoutbox update: unfortunately all mods I found were either outdated, paid or have off-site login. For example, there's a nice shoutbox (SMFPacks Shoutbox Pro if you want to look it up) which costs 19$ one-off. Embedding Chatzy also requires a subscription though, which would be as much as 129$ per year (unsustainable).

As standard Chatzy doesn't require to buy Premium, for the time being I have added a redirect under the Chat Room board. We might need to do something custom if we don't want to pay for a shoutbox.

Yes, I didn't really want to use Discord because of off-site login and off-site storage. However, there seem to be some cool tools for embedding Discord which also allow for guest access, which would remove the login concern. I'm now investigating this.

Marcel, imma need you to give me permissions on the Discord server (or stay in contact with me while we set this up together)

Incidentally, we're having issues with the Discord shoutbox embed, which probably began tonight when the developers answered my request for a CSS slot and messed something up in the process. I'm in touch with them to bring it back.
Title: Re: Wittmeister's Feature List
Post by: Sir Lüc on December 10, 2019, 01:24:25 PM
The Shoutbox has been restored to full operation and styled to blend in with Witt's theme. (Incidentally, it probably was a problem with the embed provider's servers which they fixed on their own)

Edit: also for some reason Privacy Badger blocks the Discord CDN so if you don't see the shoutbox avatars that's why.
Title: Re: Wittmeister's Feature List

Sadly we have had another shoutbox outage in the last 3 hours or so. If this persists, I have selected an alternative embedder (which seems superior anyway, so we might switch no matter what).
Title: Re: Wittmeister's Feature List
Post by: Sir Lüc on December 14, 2019, 03:30:17 PM
PSA: I'm currently testing an alternate discord embed for the Shoutbox (you may notice a floating icon on the bottom right). This is because the current embed is a bit buggy - last week the embed bot went offline for a couple of hours every day, and now it seems that messages are sent but not displayed until you reload the page.

As far as I know, this alternate embed is not mantained in its current version "v1" anymore, and the developers are working on "v2" which is currently in beta. Perhaps, when it will be out of beta (it still lacks some stuff that is present in the current embed), we can evaluate whether it's worth switching.

Interesting that it uses a BBCode enclosure. If you hover over people's names you can see their user number (u=##). In a pinch, you can find someone's U# and then tag people manually by number

Yes, that's how the mod works.

1) Search the text of the post for @<username> (the original mod, before my edit, was @<displayname>)
2) For each of those, find numeric ID and real name and replace the <username> bit
3) Send a notification and mantain DB tables with a list of seen and unseen mentions

Of course, if you do this manually, you are doing point 2) only. You get no notification that way.
Couldn't get this to work like it's supposed to, since selecting the autocomplete filled in the name but didn't make it a link with a notification.

Thank you for noticing. I will get on it sometime this week, sorry but Witt-admin activity might be reduced over the holidays.

Three spam accounts have been deleted. From now on, suspicious accounts will be immediately banned from posting while the identity is ascertained, then deleted. (Although this is probably an area where the Chancery should set a policy. Sadly I'm not so confident that we will get to see "official", lawful operation of this forum happen anytime soon.)

We currently have 44 registered citizens and 1 registered prospective.

I was referring more to the fact that we need the Chancery to do its thing, ie take officially control of policy and certify the forum for use, than the Government's goal which is obviously not legally binding.

We are at 49 registered members, of which 1 is Wittmeister, 1 is a prospective and 1 is no longer a citizen. So 46 registered citizens.

The Registration Agreement has been updated and it's likely that more changes will happen "soon" as we adjust to using New Witt as the only Witt, particularly quality of life changes and other changes related to the implementation of Wittiquette.

In unrelated news, we've had a lot of spam accounts registering lately, which is a bit of a nuisance but not much of a real issue because 1) they're easy to mass delete; 2) they can do nothing unless assigned to a group by an admin or Immigration. Because of this, though, we have now switched to reCAPTCHA for verification instead of SMF's Visual Verification Image.

Finally, this post (and the Welcome one, which will also be locked) will be moved to the Webspace board soon, with a FAQ post being worked on. As always, continue using this post for feedback, criticism and help.

Please don't mass delete all those accounts just yet.  2 of them are real accounts that are pending.  I have 2 incoming applicants that I am struggling to verify identity with, so those accounts should remain for the time being until I can make a decision one way or the other.

The appearance of forum roles and personal titles (the two thingies under your username) have been tweaked.

Additionally, I have added a "Talossan Since" profile field. I may do a round of copying dates from OldWitt this weekend, but in any case everyone is welcome to fill in their own.

I'm thinking about also adding a "full name" field, so people can still display their Talossan name AND retain perhaps a nickname for their actual display name.

The appearance of forum roles and personal titles (the two thingies under your username) have been tweaked.

Additionally, I have added a "Talossan Since" profile field. I may do a round of copying dates from OldWitt this weekend, but in any case everyone is welcome to fill in their own.

I'm thinking about also adding a "full name" field, so people can still display their Talossan name AND retain perhaps a nickname for their actual display name.
Good job, thank you as usual.

No problem. Good to see you back.

Efforts to curb spam memberships continue. A week ago, a stricter reCAPTCHA setting was imposed, though this weekend saw more spam accounts being created after a brief hiatus.

We have now switched to a secret key verification method; the key will be supplied by Immigration officials to prospective citizens, and current citizens without an account have been provided with an email address they can use to get a valid key.

Thanks.  I'll check in again next month, and I'm sure you'll have done something excellent in the meantime :)  You're doing very good work with this forum.

Unless you're a mod or greater, personal titles isn't something you can set.

I am not sure what you are referring to. Do you want to be able to set your personal title? The current system is the way it used to be on ProBoards as well.

Or were you directly referring to my comment - in which case, who can set personal titles doesn't really have anything to do with my tweak?

Yes.

But seeing as we run the software, does that need to remain the case? If we're trusted enough to be in the Senats or the Cosa, it seems like letting us edit our own title isn't a huge risk.

Yep.  Especially since any abuse of the system (fake titles and the like) could just be reversed by an admin.

I was mentioned in a thread I'm not able to see but got the email to notify me anyway. I don't know if it's something I'd change because I found it funny but it might no be ideal for that to happen.

@Sir Lüc , any chance we might revisit the choice to make links show with a dotted underline? I find it makes things hard to read.

sure, it was mostly a temporary choice to set them apart from underlined text, but it can be reversed. I'll make a note to fix it when I'm back to working on theme tweaks.
