Hmm, it looks to me as if posts are tagged f=XX&p=XX when clicked from the homepage, at least. Technically, all you need is the post number, and it can grab the associated forum and topic from the database.

Oh, I see. Well, so long as it works. It'd just be nice if it dropped down to the proper post instead of staying at the top of the page, but only god knows why it does that.

I went to TIFW and saw that when clicking on the last post link, I was able view the associated post without scrolling (the page moved down to it). Just like here on Cemetech.

However, when clicking on a post in IRC the page stays at the top of the page, where as I move to the post when directed. I took at a look at the URL, and the post number at the end in http://cemete.ch/p173974#173974 isn't being translated over. Perhaps it's the same for those TinyURL's as well?

Ok, more on the above post;

[05:55] <@saxjax> (T) *stefan bauwens added a post in [zcontest 2011 announced] [Link] http://tinyurl.com/8aastk3#678 was posted this morning, which links to http://tifreakware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=120&p=678#678

But the link should have referred to http://tifreakware.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&p=692#p692

The 'correct' link doesn't have the &t=120 in it. Plus, Sax is pulling from the post above the one that gets posted, I can see that by hovering over the Edit button.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking maybe sax shouldn't post when an article gets edited on the wiki? Or it should find some way to group them, or only announce in some channel dedicated to wiki edit. This is an example of why:

comicIDIOT · Posted: 15 May 2012 05:24:11 pm Post subject:

Perhaps, every five minutes announce how many edits have been made and link to the Recent Changes, where interested parties can view the changed articles.

I think that's a good idea--of course, it should only announce how many edits were made if there are more than 0 edits Smile

Pain in the neck from the programming side, but I'll try to think about a good way to solve it. I don't hate the grouping idea, but I think when we're not heavily editing the wiki, the messages aren't necessarily too big a deal.

Without actually knowing how it's set up, I don't see why it's a pain in the neck. Instead of every time you get a change message announcing it, just add one to a counter. Every five minutes check that counter, if it's > 0 announce "There have been {0} edits in the past five minutes, see http://prizm.cemetech.net/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges for details." and reset the counter. I don't know what kind of timer/threading infrastructure sax has, so maybe that's the hangup?

The painful part would be changing SAX so that it had some sort of cache, creating a place for it to cache said messages, perform some regex-based check on messages to see if they needed to be cached (or perhaps based on source, something it doesn't currently discriminate about).

Why would it need to cache? It needs a single counter variable, that surely can't be hard.

Ah, I see. It might be easier to have DoorsCS do it, then.

Ahh, I get it. Yeah, I don't actually care about sax, since I never chat from there--at the time it was just easier to screenshot sax Smile

. All I care about is IRC Smile

Why not look at the scrollback? If there was an edit within the last 5 minutes in the scrollback, or none at all, then it will post an edit message.

If you're dumping the edits into SAX anyway (the way we do with anything else), it shouldn't be hard to do the counter in pure JS. Whenever new lines come in, check if they're a (W) and if they fit the form /usernameregexhere edited/

Saxjax doesn't have to do anything special, and I'm assuming similar code is already in place for the highlight boxes that appear at the bottom of the page when we're away.
