  • haha, yeah, how pathetic. they can't even force one of the largest power grids in the country back on. geez. :P Dreamhost was down too, and they've been pretty reliable for me. I would chalk this one up as being out of their hands.
  • Mark says this about adding user preferences for specific extensions: Everyone should note that if you are looking at creating an extension that turns on based on user preference, you should hold off on altering the database in any way. I'm going …
  • 22. derrickito this should have told you the list is pre-rapture.
  • It would only work on discussions that the user has access to. So if the private discussion was not including the user, then no, it wouldn't come up in the search. All it does is execute a search on all comments and inserts your username into the f…
  • Stuart, it totally could be a link like that. I can make a profile link version later. The main use for it that I've found handy is when you are away for a couple weeks and want to check if there are any posts for you. On a board that I was part…
  • I just modified it to only show a namewhore tab if a user is logged in. it will not be shown for guests, as that would have a search resulting in all comments returned.
  • yeah, I need to register, was just about to. :)
  • For those using this extension, if you need to add a stylesheet for the html you're inserting, you can add it by adding this line ($StyleSheetLocation is obviously the location of the stylesheet to add): $Head->AddStyleSheet($StyleSheetLocation);
  • yep. I'm actually placing the calendar on the page using brady's custom html messages in the panel extension, which has an include of the calendar building function, which it calls and then places the result in the panel. I then add the stylesheet t…
  • nice! this works: $StyleSheetLocation="extensions/calendar/calendar.css"; if(in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php", "categories.php", "comments.php", "search.php", "post.php", "account.php", "settings.php"))){ $Head->AddStyleSheet($St…
  • well, after poking around a little, I found the AddStyleSheet function in the Common.Controls.php file, but I haven't found where its used to add a stylesheet yet. I'll check into the yellowfade extension though, thanks.
  • Anyone have any ideas on how to handle additional style definitions for page elements added through an extension? For instance, the extension I'm making will need to have some styles defined for the calendar it builds. I know there must be some wa…
  • I don't think you could have picked a better name for this forum. with the extensability of its architecture, it's a lot like vanilla ice cream; you can have it plain or you can put any topping you want on it and it will still taste pretty good. cho…
  • if not, I'm sure there would be a way to go about specifying the order in a seperate table citing the DiscussionID's
  • Wow, quick answer! That's exactly what I was wanting to know, thanks Mark. I think then if an extension requires a table to be created, it have an install file in that extension's library. Regarding the structure and naming, I think it should go li…
  • jsanders, I also agree that adding to pre-existing core tables should be a no-no, as the whole point of an extension is to add without modifying the core.
  • oh, yes LUX is much better. :) the table creation and the library/folder/multiple files for one extension are my biggest concerns really.
  • I'd probably go with being patient instead. I doubt he hasn't seen this, he's likely preoccupied with something else.
  • I understood what you wanted from the beginning, I was just offering an alternative solution. For smaller audiences I think it would be a good solution, but I dont know how much traffic you'd be dealing with, so I wont try to assume that my solutio…
  • no, I don't think you understand what I was saying. I'm talking about dynamically resizing and displaying/outputting an image, not using a script to resize a file and save it on the server for later viewing. this image: (http://www.trabusproject…
  • stuart, make sure you have the latest version (0.9.2), or else the $forcePosition won't work. that variable wasn't present in (0.9.1b)
  • I knew it was up, I was just saying is all. I liked the sound of the domain.
  • vanillaforum.com is available, could do a subdomain- extensions.vanillaforum.com
  • One way to tackle that would be to use a dynamic resizing script and feed it filename and dimensions to output. Honestly though I don't know how feasable that would be for larger images as recreating every image from scratch every time could be some…
  • it would be cool if you could write the extension to display either a gif or a text version of each one depending on if they were in text only mode.
  • I think my problem may be that I have the custom styles extension enabled. I'm guessing that having that extension enabled may override my changing of the default style folder.
  • Since the LUM_Style table's StyleID column starts with 1, you could use 0 as a mapping to the default style. Put some logic in that says if the user's StyleID is 0, use the default StyleID which would be set by the dropdown. That would also allow …
  • I just took a look at my DB and there is a table called LUM_Style, and each style in it has a StyleID (starting with 1 as the first entry). The LUM_User table has a StyleID column that is set to 1 as the default. There is also a column for CustomSty…
