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

mini update - chat 2

backend api has almost been completed. some of the changes coming up.

1. urls will be required to post in bbcode.
2. general html tags will be removed. later to be replaced with bbcode

(these are being done to streamline the upcoming front end display of chat, and to prevent any gaping security holes that currently exist)

3. chat is searchable!
4. finished in backend in but wont be completed in initial front end run : scrolling up and down of chats.

5. users will able to edit, or delete their own comments within a time period (stubbed in, wont be live).

------- front end features -----
chat window will provide live notifications of new messages received. update immediately on posting , etc


ETA --
backend : tomorrow will be fully complete
frontend : TBD - probably a week. this is simple to get done quickly, complex to require some serious double checking.
