[Bricsys] New forum functionality

Sander Scheiris · November 2011

Hi,

We've updated the forum and added some new features:

New editor: When composing your message, it should be easier to place links and images. Numbered and unnumbered lists are supported as well.
Insert code has been improved. The code preview will automatically resize to the amount of pasted code
Attach files: It's now possible to attach multiple files (of maximum 5 MB) to your post. Viewable attachments (like images) will be displayed at the bottom of your post as thumbnails. When you click on them, the original size will be showed.
Quote functionality: You can quote a previous post into your reply.

I hope you like these new features. If you experience problems, first try to clear your cache and refresh the page (Ctrl + F5). If that doesn't help, contact us here or file a support request.

That's true. And here is some code

[code].shareButton{

float: left;

margin-right: 10px;

margin-top: 10px;

margin-bottom: 10px;

}[/code]

Test...
With the old editor copy-pasting a piece of html text could lead to (hidden) html formatting being copied a well.

So that problem still persist.

Roy Klein Gebbinck · November 2011

... The Attach files functionality is of course very nice!

Vaidas Guogis · November 2011

Testing it too...
And what is fashion?

@Sander Scheiris:

That's true.

Roy,

For some posts it can be a problem, for other posts it's helpful.

If you want to avoid this, you will have to "Paste Special" to paste the text with no formatting.

Best regards,

Sander

I would like to be able to edit my old postings.
Anything like that in planning?

There are no such plans for now.

Is it possible to DELETE an attachment while working on a message?

Roy Klein Gebbinck · December 2011

Request:
I would like to see a [Log in] button/feature on each forum page. Now I have to log in via the Meeting Point and then switch back or click on some attachment.

Daniel Eiszele · December 2011

+1 for log in button. I am not a fan of the meeting point. I am sure it fits into the workflow and mindset of a lot of people but trying to fit answers into a set number of characters really irks me

Also having to scroll up and down to find the initial message in a thread isn't very fun either. Just my 2 cents.

Sander Scheiris · December 2011

Hi,

We will implement a logon button somewhere Q1 2012.

The forum software doesn't 'like' pointy brackets:
Let's see if this works: < >

Roy Klein Gebbinck · December 2011

... To get correct pointy brackets:
For < (less than) use: <
For > (greater than) use: >

Roy Klein Gebbinck · December 2011

Of course pointy brackets are also used in Lisp code.
Test Example:
[code](setq ss
(ssget
    (list '(-4 . "          '(0 . "LINE")
          '(0 . "LWPOLYLINE")
          '(0 . "POLYLINE")
          '(0 . "ARC")
          '(-4 . "OR>")
    )
)
)
[/code]

Roy Klein Gebbinck · December 2011

In my previous post the display of the first -4 gc is incorrect. It seems wise to always (also) attach your Lisp code.

Another test example:
[code](setq ss (ssget (list '(-4 . ""))))[/code]

Yes, that could cause some "problems"... A disappearing act most likely.
Some HTML of the posts get parsed/filtered out etc
Maybe we can try to find a way to recognize it better in a next iteration.
