TITANKISSER69 posted:The forums feature being referred to is the # under your avatar. That's not really a forums feature either so much as link to the post's URL. The app already exposes this in the overflow menu on a post (Copy URL). The problem I'd see with trying to make a bookmark system for this would be how would you tag it so it makes any sense?

i mean a basic system that seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement i have no idea how programming works would just be a "bookmarked posts" tab accessible from the main app menu with an option to manually create folders and put individual bookmarks in them

That is something I've occasionally thought would be kinda nice too, no idea what scale of work would be required to add it/convert the quote URLs into something useful though.

All of it seems like a lot of work for little reward to me but I'm neither the guy doing the work nor the one wanting the reward. If I were the sort who's not only into archiving individual posts but also ON THE MOVE I'd probably share the post URL to a note-taking app where I could curate them more effectively. It'd be a lot nicer if the "Copy URL" in the post overflow menu was actually "Share URL" like the icon would indicate so that such a workflow was a two-step process. Then you could just tap Share to Keep List "Cool LastInLine posts" and markup that share item at your leisure.

I'm currently an IK in C-SPAM. I've been looking for a new Android hobby project. I am going to try and implement some rudimentary mod tools because I post 99% mobile. Anyone familiar with the project able to give me an outline for how they could be implemented? I.e. what class implements: Deciding if you can select "edit" on a post or not? I think it'll work with mod buttons. AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 05:29 on May 18, 2020 |

The most important missing mod tool is making new threads FWIW the app shows me the edit button on every post, does it not show it on C-SPAM posts for you?

The fact I can hit "edit" on some posts means something is reading posts in a way that will read whether or not mod buttons are active. I assume this is going to be a huge bitch of trial and error but I want a project and even 1 week of being a single thread IK made me want it, so I bet a lot of mods would be happy.

I will help you figure out how to add the buttons. Unfortunately, I have no buttons to test with, so I will need someone to give me the buttons. For testing purposes.

You'll want to figure out what in markup (just html, not css or javascript) indicates that you can probate (web inspector can help, check network tab for initial response data). I think some of the mod menu is javascript but hopefully some part is in html? Once you have that, you know when to show a "probate 6h" button on posts. Then you need to check what happens when you click that button in the browser. Probably a POST request to some url with the thread/user/post ID as one parameter and the reason as another parameter (the web inspector's network tab helps here too). The app makes a bunch of similar requests already, so you can probably copy and paste one of those and tweak url/params to match what you see in browser. I have no idea where in the app's code this all happens, so I can't point you anywhere specific, sorry. Also holler when you figure it out and I'll see about adding it to the iOS app too.

Yeah the probate button is added with javascript. Let me see if there's an element that only shows up if you're a mod. (Frankly if a post is not yours and has an edit button, it could show the probate button too. You won't be able to probate yourself but hey.)

Meanwhile, in current app news, it's not showing me a poster's rap sheet when I select it from the 3 dot menu of a post. I just get a blank screen with the back arrow in the top left corner. Tapping that takes me to the Leper Colony page. Interestingly, it DOES work when I try it on Jeffrey Of YOSPOS, but nobody else, including when I first tried it on the mod named Jeffrey, who I saw probated in the Tech Issues Thread.

The fact I can hit "edit" on some posts means something is reading posts in a way that will read whether or not mod buttons are active. The menu's built in PostContextMenu, if you want to add more options you can stick in a new entry in the PostMenuAction enum and then handle it in the generateMenuItems and onActionClicked methods Depending on what the things do you'll need to implement some UI for that, if it's just like a "probe this rear end" button that fires off a request then you'll just need to create an AwfulRequest to do that (just look at one of the subclasses like VoteRequest, there's not much to it if you're just pinging the server) The app doesn't have a concept of you being a mod or admin or whatever (since none of us are) but it knows if you have plat - the post menu thing checks that status by looking at AwfulPreferences (so it can decide whether to show the PM option - also good luck if you've never looked at that class before lol) So it would probly make the most sense to do the same for mod options - get that info from somewhere, stick it in AwfulPreferences (it's more of a prefs and state object really), and then check it when you're deciding whether to add a mod option to a thing. I'm guessing you'll need to scrape that info from a page at some point - Jeffrey's been doing a JSON endpoint thing with a lot of useful info in one place that would be great for querying every so often and updating the app state, unfortunately the app don't work like that and I haven't had time to even look at it for a while

Hmm yeah you'll need to pop up some kind of dialog fragment - at a minimum with a text box to put a reason in, and have things like the 6hr length hardcoded in the request class (just a fyi if you didn't notice, the AwfulRequest constructor defaults to GET but has an option for POST, you add the params the same way) Ideally you'd have a proper fragment with all the options, and ideally you'd get that page, parse out all the current options like the possible lengths, and kinda dynamically generate that stuff so if it's ever changed it Just Works e- I guess this is the kind of thing where you need to be careful because if it goes wrong there could be extreme forums drama lol

For now I want to minimize any opportunity for causing real damage by just going as minimal as possible with a pop-up and POST request sent to modqueue.php. I think the danger is pretty low that way. Thanks for tips. be on the lookout for me accidentally probating someone ten thousand times or something

Feature request: override the size of text in Twitter embeds. It looks like Twitter is rolling out a new style of embed that has much larger text than the previous style. I set my font size for threads to 12 and it looks like Twitter is somewhere around 20 or 22 which is comically large in comparison: Ideally the font size for the body of the Tweet and display name of the Tweeter would be the same as the font size of the thread text and the other text in the Tweet would maybe be a size or two down from that. I've also posted this as an issue on Github but I'm copying it here for visibility.

I noticed a new bug while I was in cat jail earlier, the app's "on probation until..." message doesn't match the one in a browser. Now it updates to the current time every time you refresh. Something to do with the changes Jeffrey made to fix the server times not too long ago I guess.

I set my font size for threads to 12 and it looks like Twitter is somewhere around 20 or 22 which is comically large in comparison: oh hey thanks for the report I replied in there but basically, it's probably not a good idea to go messing with embedded content, just because of the added complexity and chance for things to break. As far as I'm aware there's no easy way to force a maximum font size, so it would be something like running multiple passes over the page and targetting specific elements and rewriting them - and they could change things at any time I haven't seen the big text for a while thought, is anyone still getting it? Maybe they gave up on that idea
