Site Mods
« on: October 30, 2011, 06:45:39 pm »
I've been looking through the list of SMF mods and I've found a few that I think we should have.
Strikethrough means I'm not installing the mod.
Bots
Adds a ban button in posts, useful for spambots* (Installed)
Another bot tool* (Installed)

Posts
Highlights in posts (SMF 2.0 only)
Post box resizer (Installed)
Reason for edit mod Installed for v5 theme
Topic Starter Mod (Shows OP by adding a blurb under their name) Installed for v5 theme
Topic Prefixes (SMF 2.0 only)
Topic Descriptions Installed for Omnimaga v5 theme
THE DISEMVOWELER! (This one was a joke. :P)
Remove MOVED topics from feeds Installed
Quote Helper Upon further investigation, I don't like the look of this one.
Additional Polls Completely broken in every way possible.
Instant quick reply Installed for Omni v5 theme

Social likes
Facebook like button OR This one
Google+ +1 These are provided by the existing plugin

Code blocks
Line numbers in code blocks* (Installed)
Select all and copy code for code blocks* (Installed)

Misc
Clean times (Only compatible for 1.0, not 1.1. Not rewriting.)
Translator* This mod is for 2.0+, I'ma look for a mod that'll work on our current forums.
Donation mod* This one is really ugly code-wise, and it's broken. I'm not going to dig through it to fix it.

Here's the mod site.
Yes/no?

Edit: I'ma go ahead and install the ones with *'s next to them, since they aren't really controversial at all, and I think that they'll be liked by everyone. :D

We already have a share button for multiple share sites ( although it is missing G+ ).

Make sure to test the changes though thoroughly to make sure it doesn't mess with the other mods we have installed.

A lot of these mods sound great if we can get them to work.

Yea, I've been poking through all of them to make sure they don't interfere. I had to fix the code block line number one, it was replacing a very large chunk of code that included a couple other mods when it really only needed to add like 3 lines.

The ones I change will have their version altered to -Netham45-X, where X is the revision count for my edits.

I like the code block ones, but I guess you were gonna install them without anyway.

About the ban button it's best first to make sure the future CoTs won't automatically gain mod powers like before, in case someone bans everyone like what happened on IRC in August x.x

As for instant quick reply, would this use AJAX/JS? I would prefer to minimize slowdowns on the site. Facebook is already slow enough on old computers.

As for the bot mods make sure they won't slow down registrations. If you install any, make sure that they're set to accept registrations when the hostname server is down, like I did with Stop Forum Spam, and make sure they're not ridiculoysly hard to get through for legit members.

Also SMF site is down (like usual) so I can't check what other mods are.

Also for the moved topic removal from feeds, would this remove moved redirects althogether? Because tghen people will think we deleted their topic.

Ajax speeds up sites on medium to new computers ( My laptop, which I don't consider too old works fine on most sites and the ones with Ajax work a lot faster then the ones without. )

Ah ok, but I remember on Facebook when on my single core 2.93 GHz comp sometimes Opera froze during 10 seconds when I posted something. It was because FB had a shit ton of AJAX running at once. Another example is OmnomIRC in Firefox for some people (although it's much less bad with the new version of OmnomIRC)

Yeah maintaining a ton of active connections can slow things down. If there isn't too much to the ajax, like a simple send some data and receive the reply only once per action then it shouldn't slow down older comps too much, if at all.

Yeah. Also with AJAX we gotta keep cross compatibility in mind. It tends to break in Opera sometimes, for example.

I have Omni optimized for a bunch of active connections for OmnomIRC's sake.

Good to hear. Does it throttle the amount of connections from the same IP like SMF site used to do? (After 5 requests in a minute the site stopped responding althogether). OmnomIRC throttled connections as well before, so if I switched tabs 5 times in one minute, it stopped responding for a while.
