Title: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 03, 2015, 07:23:45 AM: ...Give our new Shoutbox a try!

Got it! laughing7
You have to be careful about the sequence of your tags.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 03, 2015, 07:44:07 AM: Gotta change this:
Code: [Select]
<MARQUEE behavior="scroll" direction="left" width="100%" scrollamount="1">YOUR TEXT GOES HERE</MARQUEE>
To this:
Code: [Select]
[MARQUEE behavior="scroll" direction="left" width="100%" scrollamount="1"]YOUR TEXT GOES HERE[/MARQUEE]
And see what happens.
[MARQUEE behavior="scroll" direction="left" width="100%" scrollamount="1"]YOUR TEXT GOES HERE[/MARQUEE]

That didn't work... lets try this:

[move behavior="scroll" direction="left" width="100%" scrollamount="1"]YOUR TEXT GOES HERE[/move]

And that's not working.
I'll have to do some more research on slowing down the scroll speed for the Shoutbox marquee.

Post by: Mick on July 03, 2015, 01:45:01 PM: So Ken, what you up to here m8?

hmm, take a look at your shoutbox now. :wink:

And here's your old code, should you want to put it back,
Code: [Select]
[move][i][color=red][b]...We've just installed a new Shoutbox, go ahead and give it a try![/b][/color][/i][/move]
Seems not just BBCode is allowed. :2cool!!
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 03, 2015, 02:05:52 PM: Well now, ain't that special! laughing7

Thanks for that Mick, me didn't think to try HTML... we'll leave it just as it is with your code.
Code: [Select]
<MARQUEE behavior="scroll" direction="left" width="100%" scrollamount="1"><strong><font color="#FF0000">...We've just installed a new Shoutbox, go ahead and give it a try!</font></strong></MARQUEE>

Ken, only found this out by accident myself. Not sure it's supposed to work, but it does, and it's neat actually.

So just your errors to sort out, and hopefully it's a go. :thumbup: We need some testers to try it out before release to be fair, but I'm reluctant to wait. lol..
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 03, 2015, 02:20:16 PM: As you say, "it works' so it's all good. :thumbup:

Waiting for additional testers may be a waste, none seem to be interested at the moment... we are so close, hopefully we can finally go public with this as a final release.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Mick on July 03, 2015, 02:25:24 PM: Hmm, that marquee works in IE11 and in firefox. Doesn't seem to show up in chrome though, or not for me at least. Perhaps not such a good idea after all.

True. I'm just hoping that when it does get released we'll have bloc and Brad around to sort any reports that come in. Otherwise we're in deep ****
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 03, 2015, 03:43:23 PM: That's true enough... we'll just have to do the best that we can. Looking at our low energy levels over the past couple of years it would seem that any progress will be better that it has been.
As for the deep doo-doo part... we've been there before. laughing7

Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 06:28:34 AM: Does this need to be uploaded manually and edited manually? Cause I'm getting an error saying it's empty when it isn't...
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 05, 2015, 06:53:00 AM: I'll need to post this on TP because it happened on my install as well.

I tried to FTP the zip to my Packages folder, but that didn't work either, so I unpacked the zip on my desktop and uploaded the TP folder to the Packages folder on the site and that worked as expected with a normal install from there.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 07:25:12 AM: Me too.

In package-info.xml at the bottom it says:

Code: [Select]
<upgrade for="2.0 - 2.0.99" from="1.098, 1.099, 1.100, 1.101, 1.102, 1.103, 1.104, 1.105, 1.106, 1.107, 1.108, 1.1.09"> <readme type="inline" parsebbc="true">[size=14pt]You must uninstall any previous version of TinyPortal before you can install TP 1.109 for SMF2.0.x [br][color=red][b]Note:[/b] Make a backup of all your SMF and TP files before you uninstall. A previous version of TP 1.0 removed the downloads and images directory which will remove needed files for your site.[/color][/size]</readme> </upgrade>Should be this right?

before you can install TP 1.110 for SMF2.0.x

BTW, this site has issues with fetching previews...sometimes it hangs. I've noticed that before.

Guys, Did you extract that master zip, and re-zip it up properly?

Here's the latest zip from the repo attached. You need to un-install previous versions before installing this one. That way all the files will be replaced.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 07:51:08 AM: I added it to a fresh smf install and got the error. I did extract the zip but did not re-zip it.

I'll try the one you posted.

Hi Steve. The zip above should install via the package manager without problem.

I'm trying to replicate that error that Ken's getting "undefined index forum_name" But can't seem to get it on my any of test sites. I guess I need more guest traffic to throw it.

Hey Mick. The one you posted works!

Yep, you can't just download the zip from the repo and install it. The files are inside another folder, so these files need to be zipped directly. Plus there's a coupe of git files in there that need removing prior to zipping.

Glad it worked. :thumbup:
Title: Re: [move] testing

This PeaZip works very well!

Neat. Not tried PeaZip myself, I just use WinRAR for all this stuff.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 01:05:56 PM: I used to use that too.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Mick on July 05, 2015, 01:11:33 PM: It does all I need tbh, and still in free mode. lol..

By the way Steve, are you testing this TP beta on a live site, or locally. Just wondering, because I've tried it in both, and can't seem to replicate that forum_name error that Ken's getting. I have it running in Test Site 2 (http://cctestsite.info/testsite2/index.php) at the moment.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 01:21:20 PM: Live site, I never test locally cause sometimes hosting have things installed you can't install without paying for them. So, it's best to use a live hosting server to give real world stats.

I'm starting to think those errors are from other outdated mods conflicting with TP.

Good point, could be that I guess. Got a link you can PM me? I'll see if I get it to chuck some errors.. :wink:

:rofl2 no, I meant your test site, the one you installed that zip to. :wink:
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 02:21:06 PM: LOL, sorry, Mick...let me explain. I used to see them on my live site, Docskillz. But I usually don't see them on test sites mostly cause I tend to not install other mods on it unless they need to be tested. But you are welcome to install any mods you like there.

Steve, thanks for the link. All I'm going to do is see if I can get it to chuck any errors when viewing certain parts as a guest. Could you attach an avatar to your profile for me.

Not really Steve, thank you. If you could just check the error log for me.

Did you look at the error log here on OFF. strange one to be honest.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 03:11:56 PM: No errors. :)

Yes, when you see errors that don't make sense, a combination of things, it is usually mod conflicts.

Thanks. It is starting to sound likely. Bloc is looking into it for us, so let's see what he finds. :wink:
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 04:04:53 PM: This site is running very slowly on any page that the shout (might be another block on the left side) is on. If you go into the admin or somewhere that does not show it the site seems to load much faster. It does not do it on my site. At first I thought it was the marquee scrolling but I added it to my site and it doe snot do it there. So, it is something else.

But looking at the shoutbox settings I did find an old setting in there. So, there is probably old code from it and possibly other mods left here. See the image below.

Fetching previews are extremely slow here so old left-over code may be an issue here at this site.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Mick on July 05, 2015, 04:28:10 PM: Thanks again Steve, hadn't noticed that setting sitting there until you pointed it out. Now I'm worried that Ken has some rogue code / files sitting on the server.

We need to check on how TP was installed. It should have been completely un-installed before installing the new zip.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 05, 2015, 04:33:55 PM: Hell, Matt hasn't been around in years! :funny:

I've got a feeling he just did an auto-uninstall and then reinstalled new versions. I think a "site refresh" is in order. That is what I call it when you remove everything, upload the smf upgrade package and reinstall your themes then your mods. It helps to get rid of any rogue code sitting around. I do it once or twice per year on my sites, if I've been adding/removing things.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Ken on July 05, 2015, 05:44:10 PM: My goodness! I'm out for most of the day and miss out on all the excitement! laughing7

You guys may be right about bad or rogue code and the need to load up a fresh set of files.

I hadn't noticed any slow load on the pages... don't know what that might be, but it needs to be fixed if possible.

On this latest TP install I first uninstalled and deleted the previous version before loading up this one.
Title: Re: [move] testing
Post by: Skhilled on July 06, 2015, 08:50:51 AM: The site is much faster today so it may have been server issues. But fetching preview is still extremely slow or not working.

@Mick, still no errors on the test site.
