What happend to the Forum & Wiki?
« on: December 30, 2021, 08:27:18 am »
Forum & Wiki were moved to their own sub-domains recently, certainly a good move for better organization of the respective scripts and databases, however for the Wiki there's still no favicon displayed in the browser shortcut/favourits. The Forum otherwise shows the QB64 icon again.

But there are:
  • no more download counters on files attached to posts (ok, you still get it via your profile, but...)
  • no more syntax highlighting in code sample boxes
  • all OpenGL keywords disappeared from Wiki

A few of the forum plugins proved to be problematic with a PHP upgrade, chiefly the syntax highlighting. They will be returning, just once I can port them to PHP 8.

The wiki favicon operates correctly for me (and https://wiki.qb64.org/favicon.ico exists). I'm not sure what to offer here other than there may be some local caching going on.

The _gl commands haven't been listed in the wiki since 9 October (https://wiki.qb64.org/wiki/index.php?title=Keyword_Reference_-_Alphabetical&diff=23736&oldid=23725). Something to take up with the Wiki people (@FellippeHeitor ?)

Full list of links to GL keywords had a minute number of actual valid pages, which in turn were nothing more than copies of OpenGL reference taken from elsewhere. Old reference pages remain, and are accessible via search. It's only the list of red invalid links that's been hidden away, until we actually have those pages created.

Thanks for your statements @luke and @FellippeHeitor, the favicons now properly show up for all links, after I've cleared the browser cache. Also good to know that the GL keywords are not completly deleted but hidden only and that the other fancy PHP stuff will come back when fixed.

Happy New Year

I've ported across the syntax highlighter plugin, so we have pretty boxes again:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. PRINT "Hello world!"

Download counts should also be visible once more.

Not specifically asked here, but the mobile responsive layouts are less broken than they were previously.

Formatting is off somewhat with the highlighter.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. PRINT "I'm showing an example.

The the apostrophe in "I'm..."

Le Sigh

Fixed now. The great thing about standards for escaping HTML is that there's so many to choose from...

Any chance to disable the filename/filesize/dimension etc. display of attachments, which are embedded in the text flow of a post?

- earlier these details were only displayed on regular attachments, which usually are shown at the end of a post seperated by a horizontal ruler

- now the details show up even on attachments which are inserted into the text flow via the "Insert Attachment" link when uploading, this disturbs the text flow/formatting

see my GuiTools post here https://qb64forum.alephc.xyz/index.php?topic=809.0, the attachment details show up everywhere, on all 7z's and even below each of the colorful seperator bars.

Luckily there was a separate setting to control just the inline attachments, so now it should be back to "how it was".

Confirmed, it's working/displayed as expected for both (inline w/o and regular w/ details) again now.
Thanks for your efforts, Luke.
