v0.9.47 - ruuk - 2012-05-19 03:37
Version 0.9.47 RC5
Changes:
- Fixed some spelling errors in the help
- Fixed a bug (well, handled a Tapatalk plugin bug) that caused a 'No Posts' error after submitting a new post.
- Made initial forum setup/connection threaded so it is stoppable like the rest
- (Experimental): General Browser Now handles Forums/Threads/Posts on VBulletin/MyBB/FluxBB/PhpBB and pagination on Vbulletin - Use at your own risk
- (Experimental): Moved 'General Forum Browser' option to bottom of 'Change Forum' menu, and added a saved list with add/remove options
On my REPO.
The (Experimental) General forum browser has been tested with forum.xfce.org, ubuntuforums.org, community.mybb.com, phpp.com/community and xbox360forum.com/xbox-forum.
It works reasonably well with these forums, to varying degrees. Some threads and forums will give errors, mostly because they are not real threads/forums and shouldn't have been listed.
It should work with a lot of other forums (assuming they are VBulletin,FluxBB,MyBB or PhpBB based) - probably hit and miss (some will work great, others terribly or not at all)
I haven't really done a lot of testing on ones other than I have listed.

All seems to be ok, good work
Hi ruuk checked out typo's now ok. I wasn't going to mention it but it will annoy me if I don't, if you goto OPTIONS > HELP > FORUM LIST in the description it says "subforums are IN indented", is this right ?

Test to see if a brand new reply is created, or does it tagg to my previous post

Seems like when I'm trying to create a brand new post it tags to my previous post instead
Although this doesn't happen everytime
This is happening at post list view, clicking on post reply

RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - hasselhof - 2012-05-19 08:50
I've rebooted xbmc, test to see if it creates a new post
New post test
It created a new post, but it tagged to my old post when I wanted to create another new post
Hope this isn't me being silly.
Here are my logs

Hi ruuk
Thanks for the update (RC5), did a bit of testing
As previously posted the spelling errors are ok, as is the "No posts" bug is now ok
What do you think to the posting of a new post being tagged onto previous post?
I've found a good source of forums at http://www.big-boards.com/
While searching the website you can sort by "forum software types" and "language".
Maybe you already know about this site, but if you don't check it out.
Thanks for the shout out in credits & changlog
John
ps The experimental section is coming along nicely, I was able to add a couple of forums but was not able to read posts.

That's the forum doing that. It is the same in a web browser. If you post again within a certain amount of time, it will tack it to the end of the previous post with a horizontal line between.
By the way, if there is a forum you want working in the general browser let me know. I have no preference on which ones to test with, so it may as well be one you are using.

Hi ruuk
Didn't know about the time between posts, feel silly now.
There is a forum I would like it's http://www.torrentday.com/forums but it asks for a capcha, see what you think, don't spend to much effort with it. Thanks

In any case, the error message doesn't give very useful information. I'll have to do something there.
