Image Formatting

[CalebQ42]

Currently, when you do [img] then I have it format the picture with style='float:left;width:20%;' If you have something better, suggestions are welcome

[xianc78]

If you can, you should make people be able to resize images with BBCode you can take this link for reference.

[CalebQ42]

I'll definately add those functions. If you want a preview of it working so far then go to 10.73.139.27, I have a webserver set up on my laptop

[CalebQ42]

I put my BBCode converter up on github at https://github.com/CalebQ42/BBConverter

[xianc78]

There's still some essential tags you should include like underline ([u]), strikethrough ([s]), and color text ([color=color]).

[CalebQ42]

Aha, I do have [u], [s] , and [color=] support, I just forgot to say I did.

[CalebQ42]

I've updated my readme

[CalebQ42]

Do you think the [img right] and [img left] is a good idea?

[xianc78]

Sure. You should also add the youtube tag ([youtube]url[/youtube]) which should be converted into the iframe that youtube uses for embedded videos.

[CalebQ42]

Alright, I'll secondary add that.

[CalebQ42]

I'm sorry I didn't think about this earlier, but a database that holds all the pages and then php that calls then up I don't think is right for this project. It's a wonderful idea and probably had some great ideas, the only problem is SEO. Unfortunately the search engine web crawlers won't be able to index the information in the databases, making it so the web crawlers will only see a header and some photos, making the entire website's SEO very low, if not nonexistent. If I'm wrong feel free to tell me so since I haven't looked to hard into SEO and the page loader is an absolutely awesome idea.

[dwmikesell]

Let me look into that before we change that up. I would think that the Web
Crawler would look at it as if the page was active, meaning that it's
looking at the actual content. Could be wrong. I'll work on that in a few.

If that is the case, then web crawlers wouldn't be able to index blog posts and forum threads. The SEO indexes pages as if the page is viewed by the client. It should be able to index the pages just fine.

[CalebQ42]

Alright, I didn't know that, like I said I've only done a little research into SEO.

[CalebQ42]

Do you want me to create a php script for searching for a page?

[xianc78]

Sure. When you connect to the database, use include sqllogin.php;

[dwmikesell]

Hey guys,

I want you to know that this week I'd like to see us testing quite a bit of this. As a result, I am shifting my priorities over to essentially being your servant. Any coding, testing or ideas you want me to work on let me know.

~Mr. M.

[xianc78]

You still need to add list tags. ([ul], [ol], [li], [*]) Take this (link)[http://bbcode.org/examples/?id=13] for reference.

[CalebQ42]

I added it last night actually, I just need to upload

[CalebQ42]

I uploaded the latest Convert and updated the bbConvert github

[CalebQ42]

I was just wondering in what format you were planning on saving the pages in, HTML or BB? Even if you've decided then this is some things to think about.
I was thinking about some of the pros and cons of each:

HTML

Pros:

• Can be loaded quickly

Cons:

• Can't easily be edited

BBCode

Pros:

• Can be easily edited

Cons

• Converting each time could be slow

Both HTML and BBCode

Pros:

• The BBCode can be easily edited
• The HTML can be quickly loaded

Cons:

• Takes up ~2x the space

[xianc78]

I was planning on having the pages saved as BBCode and it would be converted to html with the index.php script. The only problem is that the home page has an image map which doesn't have a BBCode equivalent so either the editor needs to recognize both BBCode and HTML or you need to create custom BBCode tags.

[CalebQ42]

If you need anything that isn't a BBCode tag then you should be able to put in straight HTML without any problem.

[xianc78]

I know that. The problem is that it would be inside paragraph tags.

[dwmikesell]

Are you both cool with me touching the CSS for the area and trying a few different things with the current version on our server?

[xianc78]

I keep on getting a blank string when I use the Convert exe file. Apparently the php script doesn't have permission but you were able to get it to work. What did you do to make it work.

[CalebQ42]

Which folder is it in? I need to give it permission to execute on the
server (You can only do it on linux)

It might not be a bad idea if I just put the Converter in a specific folder
or at the root of the server and keeping it updated and with proper
permission. You think I should do that?

Yes. Also the Converter is outputting empty paragraph tags.

[CalebQ42]

I uploaded the newest converter with multilevel list support. Unless there's a bug found, I'm going to focus on the wiki.

[dwmikesell]

Would this help the menu situation?

I just uploaded the latest Converter (had a couple bugs) but I also have finished the wiki. The address is https://github.com/CalebQ42/bbConvert/wiki

[dwmikesell]

The converter editor is not redirecting back to the index, which is a
feature I liked before. Also, now for some reason I can't get the pages to
show up like they would before with a URL. Was anything changed in how the
URL would produce?

Let me know. I have an idea that will work for the categories tomorrow. I
only created about 10 lines of code cause I don't want to mess up what you
already have in play.

The idea though is to add a category order column to pages so they can be
shuffled and changed. There would also be a boolean column that checks the
visibility state. For regular static links, we could store those on a
separate table and then merge the two tables together and have it sort by
the order.

Caleb, any chance we can get some of the BB code pieces simplified? For
example, putting a drop down in a pop-up window and returning the correct
value with the color to select from?

https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=select%20form%20in%20pop%20up%20window&oq=select%20form%20in%20pop%20up%20window&aqs=chrome..69i57.6557j0j7

Remember. We need this to be as simple for Amy to maneuver as possible.
Whatever seems simple to you, dumb it down times 5.

I was thinking about having a boolean value that would determine if the page would be visible on the dropdown menu or not. There would also be the category field, and if that has no value, then it would be its own link on the menu.
I got rid of the redirect because I thought that if someone was editing a page and submitted it, and they made a mistake, they can fix it again without going back to the file.

[dwmikesell]

Good call. Add a back button then or link back to index.

I think I should also create a category creator just in case someone wants to make a new category.

[dwmikesell]

That sounds good. That's what I started messing with last night very
briefly in the pagecreator section.

For the image tag, how do you want me to do it? I know there'll probably be an upload button that will put the picture in an uploads folder in the pictures folder, but ow do you want the uploaded pictures to be selected? A select and a small preview is my initial idea.

[CalebQ42]

I just uploaded the first function (youtube) for the add buttons. I also added the two necessary divs to the pagecreator.php. I added the two divs to the style on pagecreator with simple styling.

[dwmikesell]

The category creator is done and is reading correctly into Nathan's
category piece per page. It does not update in pages yet and I would like
to create a preview section as well once I tie the javascript/css into it.
Should be done tonight.

You need to reupload the addlink.js. It ended up being deleted when I pushed my commit.

[dwmikesell]

Is the addlink.js for Caleb or me?

I got a drop menu dynamically working. I would still like the page builder
to be able to have the capability to upload an image and then insert it
using the BB code. Otherwise, Amy has no way of uploading new pictures and
getting them on a page.

For both of you, what's the feasibility? Using PHP to upload the file, get
the URL, return it to the BB code converter and insert it into the page?

Last update for the night. I got the URLs to properly put the %20 in
between the words, but now it is producing a dead link which surprised me.

So this may seem dumb, but I could not retrace where the code actually uses
the title to know what part of the database to load. Where is that taking
place? Maybe the root of this issue lies there.

It seems that when I put %20 in the URL bar, the URL actually replaces the the %20s with literal spaces, thus making the url invalid.

[CalebQ42]

Try \%20

[dwmikesell]

It ends up putting in forward slashes. Weird

Try %2520 %25 is a percent sign

[dwmikesell]

Doesn't quite help. I have it making the URL with the full name in it but
there's something it how it draws in the matching name from the database
that it needs to match. If it's single, it matches.

The %25 doesn't work either. Nor did \2525

The submit button is not communicating with the DB right now. Didn't know
if you were aware of that or not. The category adder looks cool though and
works well.

The 404 errors from the URL spaces have nothing to do with the database. If you type in a URL for a page that is not in the database, it would just show you a page with no content. It must have to do with the web server handling requests with spaces in them.

[dwmikesell]

Confirmed. The title string never stores past the first word. I checked if
it read it like an array but did not. That's why in the link maker I moved
the conversion to the pulling process.
