News / Re: The "New Posts" feature is back!

Oh, I thought that was just a heading for Recent unread or Recent replies.
If you click on the main part that opens the sub menu, it takes you to recent posts. The sub menu is for those pages.

This is great! Now we just need to add a link on the nav bar or on the main page so it's visible. :)
It is ;) Look on the forum drop-down.

Indeed, it is a lot better like that :D
The only differences with the old feature are:
  • clicking on the title of the topic in that list opens the topic at its beginning instead of opening it at the last post (what opens at the last post is the button on the right)
  • it only lists 20 posts


But that's already great, don't worry, I am not complaining, just listing differences :)
Actually if you check carefully:

*1: To get around that, you can click one of the page numbers at the bottom and if, for example, you see 1-2-3...98-99-100, clicking the ... will expand the page list. Also, in the last post column, there's a small icon leading to the latest post.
*2: I think 20 depends of your forum settings, because I have it set to 50 in my account settings. Also, for me there are 296 pages of topics (going all the way back to 2005), so in fact the New posts list now lists about 15000 topics :P (or more if you're admin)
I have 862 pages >.>

News / Re: Project Section Updates

Okay, so this is a necropost, but imagine some new member doing it to this topic instead of me because it was easy to find in http://www.omnimaga.org/recent and they were obsessed with nercoposting. I, personally, see this as a flaw in showing all of the topics in the recent posts section.
Long story short: will an admin kindly limit the number of posts seen in the recent posts section unless said member is a mod?

Thank you.

EDIT: Other than that, I love the new (read: updated) recent posts feature, but this should come first, imo.
I've already mentioned it to cooliojazz. It's his mod, he'll have to add that feature. For more requests for features, please use ourl.ca/request instead of posting it in random threads and hoping that we see it (Luckily enough for you I did notice this one).

Axe / Re: [Controversial] Better Axe Documentation Could Be Needed
« on: March 20, 2014, 01:57:24 pm »
On the topic of Axe documentation...

We used to have an Axe wiki, where this kind of stuff (tutorials and “better” documentation) can be found. Mediawiki needed to be updated 24/7 though, and things got messy so fast (spambot fiesta!) that it was eventually shut down.

(See: http://www.omnimaga.org/news/axe-parser-wiki-opens-its-doors/msg220368/#msg220368)

I don’t think we’ll ever put up another wiki again (unless it’s some other wiki software, NOT Mediawiki). But if you’re really interested in improving documentation, you can either modify the current one (that one HTML file), or get your hands messy by creating another one!

Sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/) is a documentation format that creates pretty documentation from simple markup. LOTS of projects use it, and although it is a little overkill for a project like Axe, you can certainly use it to provide meatier details about Axe, including tutorials and the likes. I’d love to see a https://axe.readthedocs.org/ one day!

EDIT: Looks like thep ninja'd me!
Nothing wrong with mediawiki, you just have to secure it properly. It's what the largest wiki in the world uses after all (Wikipedia).

Example:
Code: [Select]
Before: EXP▶Hex     Converts the number to hexadecimal and returns the pointer to that string.
Code: [Select]
After: EXP▶[HEX] -> PTR  Converts the expression to hexadecimal and if a pointer is declared it will be available at named pointer.The red is not needed, but if you want the pointer to go somewhere you should provide this information.
You know you start modifying the documentation with stuff like that and then submit it to Runer112 to include in the official releases.

They are shrouded in a cloud of possibilities.  Which are endless, but what I think is a good example is needed for each one with all possible arguments.
And the arguments could be colorized to make sence of what is required for the command to work and whats not. Some commands leand themselves to this in the descriptions but some do not. One such example is pxl-on and then you have Bitmap which gives you the options but doesnt tell you how to make bmp in the option.
bmp files are pretty standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format I'd assume that it's a sequential piece of data in which bits with a value of 1 turns the pixel on and 0 off.

it should only use one mysql connection in theory.
Ah, that would be the web front end then?

It does reconnect. I killed the bot earlier and hand it restart (It automatically restarts 30 seconds after any bot crash (That cooldown should be less IMO)).
it should in theory - if every single thread dies :P
Err.... so that's what is causing all the connections... You should change that up so that it only uses one mysql connection and the thread with that doesn't die ;)

As it is SQL you don't need to join, it doesn't care about line breaks and weird tabs ;)
Explicit joins are preferable in sql though. Implicit joins can be slower.

Seems like two links are still broken on that post.
Seems to actually be a problem with ourl.ca causing a redirection loop. I'll fix that up.

All the old forum links on the site have been converted! Only topic and post links have been converted though. The next step will be to convert the download links.

An example script for how to update an entire forum to use the correct links for omnimaga will be released soon. There are some performance issues that Eeems is trying to resolve. These issues were not a problem for us due to how powerful our VPS is, but for external sites that don't have the same stats as Omnimaga might not be able to run the conversion scripts that Eeems has created in their current form.

Incrementing everything by 100000 to prevent overlaps then remapping old ID links to new ones would have been the ideal scenario for other sites, but the debate is closed by now since what's done is done.
You keep saying that, but in all honesty, that would cause all sorts of problems down the road. Out of all the solutions this one is the one that causes less impact overall in the future. All the other "solutions" are just bandaids that temporarily fix the problem. If I've learned anything as a professional web developer, temporary solutions are never the best option. It's better to spend the money now to solve something, even if it causes a few temporary issues that can easily be resolved then to put in a bandaid that will cost more to fix in the long run.

EDIT: FYI - I literally am a professional web developer. It is literally my job.

However it is re directing me a random page, does any one know why? 
Try converting the link via Ourl.ca
We recently had an upgrade that broke all the old links.
