news fixup

ok. annoying news post fixed.

images should now work 'reasonably' well in news posts. they should no longer overflow and generally make a big stinky mess

I'll revisit this later when I redo the section Posted by Sin Vraal (#18687) on Sep 03, 2022

houston we have lift off

So. I spent the last couple weeks trying to revise my nifty all in one software component into a version 1 from beta.

its a swiss army knife tool that will allow us to switch from old style alacrity into new style. what it lacked however was the ability to continuously run updates on page (chat, mail, events , etc.... essentially all the good stuff)

This turned out to be a project unto itself. I would probably need another month just to finish that tool.

So. obviously this is no good at the moment. the prototype tool works perfectly well for the purposes we need it for, excluding these nifty features.

During this time of attempting to re-engineer, I came up with a method to retrofit the prototype.

In a nutshell, we will get 99% of what we need in 1% of the time needed to do it. its a hot mess on the inside, but makes development on the outside pristine.

So we are gonna roll with this super sauce. I need 1 more day to tidy up the tool.

Then chat , mail etc can all be integrated, both on live AND on test.

and that, is awesomeness!

chat

I'm still working on the tools to make this chat live on front end.

But for the short term, it looks as if the database optimizations I made may have improved it substantially.

Anyone notice a difference? or is it just me? Posted by Sin Vraal (#18687) on Aug 21, 2022
