Idea: A visual warning for gravedig posts

Mocked up via Firebug. Is this doable?

Im sure it would be doable, but the real question is "would cyclone actually do it?" =P

In pure PHP? Sure. I'd have it rigged up in a day, including testing and snack time.

I don't know much about FluxBB, though; I don't know how customizable it is without resorting to ugly code hacks.

Edit:

I just realized that this could be done client-side with jQuery. Not only is it possible; it's freaking practical. If Cyclone green-lights the idea, and if the users like it, I'll rig up a demo myself.

Jakery, if you think you can manage it in javascript, please send me your source and I can implement it for this forum. It looks good man.

I'd rather not have to edit my whole system to accommodate one forum's particularities, so javascript is our best bet rather than PHP.

How's it going, Jakery? Remember to test for opera because a couple people on the forums have seen the light

Re: Idea: A visual warning for gravedig posts

I finished the coding, but Cyclone wants me to test it before he publishes the code to the live Forumify server. He's such a chicken.

[geek]
I'm installing FluxBB on WAMP locally. How Cyclone managed without pulling his hair out, I don't know. I had to fix the syntax in the CREATE TABLE statements (change the long-obsolete 'type=' to 'engine=') just to get install.php to finish. And now, FluxBB is totally ignoring the fact that I specified port 8080, and so my IIS server on default port 80 is receiving the redirect requests, and (rightfully) screaming bloody murder with 404 errors. :rolleyes:
[/geek]

So yeah... when that's all done, I'll run my tests and then pass the code off to Cyclone.

Don't worry; Opera support is the least difficult.

Re: Idea: A visual warning for gravedig posts

Well thanks a lot for making this. I tried to learn javascript once. But the book (which is supposedly one of the best) just gave me commands but no syntax. So when it said the syntax for a specific command would be X, when it put it into an example script it had a whole bunch of unexplained parenthesis. :/ It gave me words but with no grammar.

No prob. And for what it's worth, there's no such thing as a useful Javascript book. They all suck. Literally, every single printed "Learn Javascript" book is terrible; Web tutorials FTW. If you're interested in trying again, this starting point worked for me:
http://w3schools.com/js/default.asp

After that, learn jQuery so you can wean yourself off of "document.write," and you're on your way.

I learned my small bit of knowledge of javascript from W3schools. Its a great site, they even give you little sandboexes to try stuff out in!

Perhaps maybe not such a violent shade of red? I'd suggest a paler type of red, like my friend ff6969.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

Oh, um, yeah, uh, I hate it when that happens. If you set the port to a calibrating function of 81, you might even get some 405 errors.
So, yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about, but good luck with those tables that you're creating.
