Things I need to figure out for my hack before being able to convert certain pages:

FAQs -- need to load FAQs for testing, right now there are noooo FAQs on my hack
Feeds -- need to have feeds updating and their stats collected, need to have the 1000 top displaying
Interests -- need to figure out how to calculate popular stuff, enable similar calculations for an account, etc
Support -- oh my wordy apparently my support system is FILLED with spam, is there a way to mass close them all? And maybe only let logged in users access support or something because WOW that is horrid

Notes:

Callout panel on Celerity not calling out
took care of the Support problem through SQL cheating since I couldn't figure out how supportclose was supposed to work: UPDATE support SET state='closed', timeclosed=UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), timemodified=UNIX_TIMESTAMP() and tried to put in a fu suggested setting to prevent further deluges: $CAPTCHA_FOR{support_submit_anon} = 1;

Hey

fu and

mark: Foundation 4 has just updated to Foundation 4.3. One perhaps useful thing that adds is a medium breakpoint, to go between the large and the small. Maybe we should upgrade while we're getting things in place still?

Needs a bunch of expansion still, but if you were curious about my usual basic steps in converting BML to TT: BML Conversion Workflow

Bug 5073: Foundation and Compass/SCSS

So, reasons to do this:

* Ability to better manage CSS using variables and mixins
* Easy ability to make pages work both in desktop and mobile

Was following Skywriter/Bespin/Ace, but it looks very clunky and more focused on a complete solution with a server backend then convenient embedding. Apparently CodeMirror is the most popular choice for embedding editors into other projects.

This post brought to you by attempting to translate layeredit.bml into Template Toolkit, and almost succeeding, though apparently need_res isn't something that works when you're not in a site themed page and I need to figure out a way around that.

It looks like it would be possible to make phone posts happen with Plivo...

Just a little old thing I noticed I had hanging around

Bugzilla: Bug 1867

Git pull -- for review and commentary!

foxfirefey

* Transmogrified should use the appropriate color for the titles in the modules, instead of the link color, for headers that are links
* Report of a theme--probably Shallowest Depths--that has a link visibility problem on the entry page
* Investigate aligning the top edges of the side bar nav and the main content as well in Transmogrified.

See previous pull, discussion/responses to constructive criticism about subscription filter. Putting a version of long roadmap comment here for notekeeping.

( TL;DR outline for improving the filter management interface )

foxfirefey

This is my very first Github pull! Basically, I saw somebody with some very good criticism about long standing reading filter bugs, and when I looked over it, turns out those capabilities were in the backend and just needed a little hooking up with the current front end. Best part is it also takes care of Bug4501--efficient! Booyah:

Last night I got my layouts-in-progress up here:

https://github.com/foxfirefey/dw-layouts

So far that's Building Blocks, Handlebars, and Kitty Corner.

I was so intimidated about moving over to the GitHub but yesterday I finally did it with

exor674's kind help!

Since

deborah and I are both working with commit access to that repository, I made it a separate fork:

https://github.com/foxfirefey/dw-free-mobile/

Development is happening on the feature/Mobile branch.

My first commit was moving the old mobile pages to oldmobile, so they'll be accessible while the new mobile site is in beta. Soon I will commit all my mobile stuff to it--I'm cleaning up some more egregious shortcuts right now.

I also implemented the basics of a mobile log in page. To do in the short term:

* Coordinate with

deborah on the profile page she is making
* Make a log out page
* Finish comment viewing -- paginated, by thread, hierarchy titles for threads
* Comment reply
* Make a simple post page that at least accomplishes what the old one did
* No icon and no JS settings
* Get metrics of the sizes of the pages with/without those settings on to make sure it falls in line
* Refine the color theme, potentially make several options, esp. a light on dark
* Make a no-JS CSS file that targets the .nocss body class

Other things to do in the medium/longer term:

* Make an icon browser for commenting and posting
* English strip the mobile pages
* See about making a mobile site scheme
* Figure out if I can tweak the HTML cleaner to make usernames point to the mobile versions of user accounts
* Implement filters
* Archive and tag and icon views
* Latest view
* Site search
* Settings

I did TT-ize admin/capedit.bml, and have two more TT-izes on the way, and have identified two admin BML files that can be ripped out entirely along with associated code. So I'm going to start doing progress meters to show how many lines of BML have been translated and removed (by anybody, not just me). My first mini-goal on this finishing TT-izing the entire admin area first.

All BML

714 / 47089 (1.52%)

Admin area

120 / 8386 (1.43%)

Graph of overall BML code areas
Graph of admin BML code areas

(Older total numbers taken from this post.)

I have mostly TT-ized: styleinfo and logout_user.

Todo:

* Subtemplate out the error list so it's not repeating itself
* Figure out why my priv checks are not working for styleinfo
* clean up styleinfo and logout_user and submit them as patches one at a time

This is my reference for testing out site styles in all the different styles for all the relevant journal pages.

( All the links for all the styles! )

foxfirefey

I think for Bug 1992 I'm going to need to jQuerify journal pages first. So first need to make a list of the dynamic parts of journals so I know what all needs to be redone:

* icon hovers
* quick reply
* cut expand and collapse
* async inbox counts, if any?
* media embed enabled?
* control strip
* screen, freeze, delete
* polls
* thread expander
* icon browser
* login
* Zesty is Special -- but is that functionality needed anymore with this?

This is now Bug 3523.

foxfirefey

Oh victorious day.

aveleh is going to be so proud of me.

Now, to do bug 1501.

exor674 already added a patch to fix the menus. Need to:

* Do CSS styling for Recent, Network, Tags, Month and Day Archives
* Add some journal identifier stuff to the style, too, and some basic journal navigation.
* Need to do ?style=site&fallback=s2 for the month view, and then rip out the BML and the related code when you get to it

Bug 2391: allow maintainers to import communities from other sites

Note:

mark says that this should be just a matter of adding it into the importer UI. It's already in the backend.
