Website Integration

[DAve]

The user list for the forum and the gallery and the wiki are now all integrated.

This means you can now post photos and screenshots on the gallery page using your forum username and password.

It also means that everyone can edit the wiki using their forum username and password.

woo!

Furthermore, there's a new skin called "guns".

You can change the way the board looks (more like the guns homepage colours) by going to the "profile" tab above and changing the "Board Style:" to GUNS. I'll have to do a bit more work on the buttons, but the idea is there.

Hey, the guns forum skin is actually quite good! Who'd have thought you could make something tasteful Dave? (well, apart from the bright lilac...)
nice!

I fixed the nasty nasty kluge you implemented to fix the date problem. Also, I found out why announce.py wasn't obeying the parameters with regards to number of items to display - the code which implemented that feature wasn't there. I must have uploaded the wrong version at some point. That's fixed now too. I think 4 posts may be a little too much though...

Points for the future:

1) You should never need to edit HTML to fix a display issue - everything display related should be done in CSS.

2) If you are editting one of the python scripts, make sure you use tabs for indentation. If you mix tabs with spaces BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN.

Good stuff. LAN soon. :)

Wasn't the lilac your idea? I was just integrating ;)

Thanks again for the announce.py code, it really does make the front page much easier to maintain.

First, does that mean that bbcode is transposed to html?
Second, I thought tabs were set to default on my editor. I'm sure you've shouted at me before for this, and I set that feature on. I'll check again when I go home.

Cheers,

BBcode isn't transposed (as far as I know). I was refering to you remarking the content with <h1 class="newsH1Title"> and <h1 class="newsH!Date">, rather than just editting the CSS.

When I grabbed the announce.py file, the bit you had editted had been indented with spaces. All you had editted was text in a quote block, so it didn't matter, but if you did the same to a code block it could get dicey.

and hey! I put no lilac anywhere!

Erm, I know nothing!

But I do like the skin, using in now. Lilac is a bit off though.....

Hmm. I wonder what the css code for not-lilac is :)
It's added to the very long list of things to sort out at the weekend.

Also, for some reason, the topic review in the reply window hasn't changed colour. Sort that as well.
