Is it possible to switch the positions of the 'New Posts' and 'Donate' on the menu?


#3

Dave

Dave

Working on that now. It's been so long since I've moved tabs I've forgotten how. I even said as much in the Donation announcement. It bugs the shit out of me, too.

It looks like the mod is still in place, but that is has lost all the reactions we'd set up in the previous version.

I don't want to get in the way/undo whatever you're doing, so I won't fiddle with anything unless otherwise told.


#10

Dave

Dave

Oh ffs. Yeah, the old version wouldn't update so I had to get the newest version. I'm going to have to add all of the old ones back. And I'm not sure if it'll keep history or stats.

Also, the lightning button on mobile (can't check the button on desktop version right now) links to "what's new" instead of "new posts" again. I remember that happened last upgrade, too, but I don't remember if that was a setting you changed globally or something we changed in our user settings?

It's completely missing from the desktop, so it's probably something global.

It shows up when the size of the window displaying the forum is made smaller, so I think it might be something that has to be enabled on a theme by theme basis.


#26

Dave

Dave

Yeah. I got the information to the ftp servers (finally), but can't seem to get the update script to run from the admin panel.


#27

Dave

Dave

While I'm struggling with that, if you could look at the reactions, I'd sure be appreciative.

I still have both versions loaded but will probably need to remove the old one.

Wahad

UI.X Dark (child) doesn't work anymore with the new upgrade. The forums are still there but the layout is borked.

Had to nagivate to the style changer (halforums.com/misc/style) manually and pick a different theme.

EDIT: Helps if I check the thread before posting. But temporary solution anyway since I don't think that got posted yet.


#29

Disabled the UI.X styles until I can get them upgraded right. Super huge pain in the ass.

And not to twist the knife, but forum performance is noticeably worse than it was even before the move to the new server :/


#34

Dave

Yeah, that's because we're getting a metric fuckton of error messages. Once we get the styles updated those should subside. If I could get the fucking FTP to work from the admin panel.

I just merged the outdated templates and that seems to have sped things up a little. Didn't fix reactions, though.

Oh shoot, the bolt-to-new-posts was an addon we specifically commissioned and then had a falling out with the author, didn't we?

It went up for me too, when I took care of a lot of outdated templates. But now it's back to chugging while Dave runs a rebuild. Should clear up in a bit.

Yeah, some things (like anon posting) are a important to get up relatively quickly, but a lot of stuff (double posting, new posts button,...) are really just QOL things. It'd be nice to have them back, but I don't think anyone'll be leaving over them being gone for a week or so. Please don't sacrifice your entire weekend just for this, the forum is theoretically still meant as a hobby/social thing, even for you.

imgur stuff is still displayed centered horizontally in a window that’s 1000px wide by 10px tall* on mobile, putting it waaaaay over to the right and half cut off. I don’t know whether to blame the add-on or imgur for that, though.

Maybe blame imgur. The Reddit Enahncement Suite does the same thing to me when loading inline imgur documents on desktop. But only if the base url is used, and not the image-specific (ending in .jpg, .png, etc) url is used.

Reactions are back, but I had to wipe the old ones and history so we're starting fresh. I'm going to need to rebuild ALL of them. Yay me! Thankfully, Gas loaded them all as icons in Discord so I think I can get them there.

Just a heads up, I tried rebuilding a reaction already and even though I fed it the right image file URL, all the reactions were coming up blank.

And yeah, smilies tab stopped working for me too. But the BBcodes for them ;) still work :eek:

Those are already gone too, because they used a the old "like" system instead of the new reaction addon.


#58

Dave

Dave

I can get the old version to work again, but not the new one. And the rebuild still gives error messages. And speaking of error messages, we're getting like a million errors right now.
  • ErrorException: [E_NOTICE] Undefined index: active
  • src/XF/App.php:1879
My brain hurts.

And something tells me this isn't intended behaviour eitherScreenshot_20200203-191404.png


#60

Dave

Dave

That's because of the many uninstalls/reinstalls I've been doing to try and fix the DB issues. We were getting an error that there was a table that wasn't present after I removed the old version.

We'll see wonky shit like this until I finally get things fixed. We'll probably stay with the old reactions version, which is stupid because it wasn't supposed to work with XF2.1 but looks like it is. Which means I "upgraded" that addon for nothing.


#61

Dave

Dave

Getting there. Fixed the DB errors and the MASSIVE amounts of error in the app.php file.

But now the reactions aren't showing again. Oy vey.

#64

Dave

Dave

By the way, the reactions added back are the only ones I have saved. Gas has the rest. They are in Discord, but I don't think they will work due to the way that they download. I suppose I could try it, but can't guarantee whether they will be super ugly or not.


#65

Dave

Dave

Now on to the bbcode bar.


#66

Dave

Dave

Never mind. The MASSIVE amount of error messages is back. Right now we are up to 1200+ pages of the same error code.


#67

Dave

Dave

The biggest problem is that the old version of the reactions and the new are not utilizing the same code. In other words, most XF mods update once you upload the new code. In this case it installed it as a separate addon. Which means we had two addons doing the same thing at the same time and it's caused nothing but issues.

Right now I can keep #1 and get a shitload of error messages which HAS to be slowing us down. Or I can reload #2 and see if I can get it to work, but that gives an error message as well. It's frustrating. And this thread has now become my personal blog.


#68

Dave

Dave

Smilies fixed.


#69

Dave

Dave

Fixed the error message. In /src/XF/App.php I commented out line 1879. You know, in case I needed to revert what I'd done...


#70

Dave

Dave

Nestled in those thousands of error messages were some TapaTalk errors. Is anyone still using TapaTalk?


#71

GasBandit

GasBandit

I think I found all the old files still on the server in /styles/dark/ratings (and a couple in just /styles). I can't work on it right now though.


#72

Dave

Dave

I'll look at them.


#73

Bubble181

Bubble181

Can i just point out that, since the reactions are gone, the forum is lightning fast for me?
I mean, maybe not "lightning" but, not "have to open 10 tabs at once, go do something else, come back to read them"anymore, but just "click, open the thread, read, go back, read another".
Perhaps my massive amount of reactions was what was slowing everything down for me?


#74

Dave

Dave

Okay so they aren't working like I thought they were. They show up but give an error if you try and use one.

I don't know if it's worth keeping Tapatalk just for push notifications. If you leave HF open in your browser before you go to bed, you can just click the bell when you wake up. :p


#95

Dave

I think XF2.x HAS push notifications.


#96

Dave

Dave

Okay, so XF2.X DOES have push notifications, but that requires PHP 7.1.0 or above. We are currently using PHP 5.6.40.

So I would need to update the PHP version. Which I can do from the WHM, but I've never done it before and I don't know what effect it would have.

Anyone familiar with PHP know what would happen?

Ok, so for whatever reason, when I sit on the "Streams" page, my browser's memory usage goes up to anywhere between 2.5GB and 4.5GB YES REALLY.

While I'm opted in to all forums, and I can see threads from all forums when going through New Posts, I'm not seeing the Games & More forum when going through the Forums page. Maybe it's a me issue, could someone else check?

Because optional forums and ignoring forums are two separate addons and it's a wonder they even play as nice together as they do.

Not on mobile, they aren’t. “Like” is still the only option.

Also weirdly on mobile the text editing box breaks my tablet’s automatic capital after period behavior.
And capital on newline, and capital on initial typing, and it’ll stick a capital in the middle of a word if I move the insertion point...basically I guess it breaks auto-capitalization in general.

One minor annoyance I've found since the upgrade is that, on mobile, pressing the lightning bolt at the top takes me to What's New instead of New Posts. It's minor, but it's one more click that wasn't there before.

Okay so we actually have TWO Reactions addons running. The old one that wasn't supposed to work after the change but did, and the new one that was supposed to work but didn't.

I reinstalled the one that was uninstalled and decoupled the whole mess from the default like handler.

Important to note that it's still kinda broke because the reaction control panel doesn't show up on the left of the admin panel like it's spose'ta. You gotta click the reactions button below the charts on the main admin content page.

I figured out what was blocking teh tweets, it was the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials add-on, which i got who knows when...

Didn't even think to look at add-ons, i stumbled upon them by mistake this morning when pressing the wrong thing...


#170

Dave

Dave

I told you Duck Duck Go was blocking mine before! Whenever I have to unblock a site I have to do uBlock Origin, Ghostery, DuckDuckGo, & Privacy Badger.

If an ad gets through my screen I just stand up and clap. They've earned it.


#171

@Li3n

@Li3n

Yeah, but i didn't see DDG since it's not in any of the tool or menu bars, and i even forgot i installed it (i still don't remember, really), and uBlock is fine for me.

The second i saw it i knew that must be it.

Of course, as i've said before, last time the tweets started working without me turning it off, so it must be something more then just it blocking the links.

Oh well, at least now i know.

Did the reactions addon get borked? The reactions received by a post aren't showing correctly, and there's no longer anywhere to click to give a reaction.

I was reached out to by someone who said they'd make me a new anonymous addon. And it would come with unlimited help so if something ever went wrong he'd fix it. All for the low, low price of $200.

Was there ever a resolution to pages loading slowly? I haven't had a problem until recently, and it's mostly on my phone. When I click on a thread, the top of the thread page loads quickly, but it then hangs for multiple seconds before it will jump to the current new post location.

Does it happen on certain threads? I've kinda noticed that happening from time to time, but mostly in threads that are loading media embeds... which we can't really do anything about.

i thought that was fixed in upgrading to the VPS server.

In my experience, for the most part, it has. It's just on mobile, on a page with a lot of media embeds, it doesn't skip down the most recent until it's done loading all the media on the page. So if the embeds load slowly, it looks like the page has stalled. I don't think there's much we can do about that though.

But maybe Mike is experiencing something else?

Honestly, it was fixed when all our ratings got nuked. I think that's also why I suffered most, by far.
This is a separate issue, and much less troublesome in my experience - it just adds a second or so to some big threads, nothing like the minute-plus to everything.

fgx is a prefix generally associated with Xenforo mods written by a guy named Farang. So, I would make an educated guess that it's a leftover piece of code from an addon that didn't make the transition between one version of the forum and another, but we don't have the level of knowledge needed to go in and clean it out without fear of breaking something important.
