I'm not sure if I can do anything about that. I tried some things that didn't work. I'm still thinking on it.

The url based changing of logo's is working really well, the one I did worked great and is a much better logo than the auto scraped offerings. On a side note after typing in the url for the logo, then pressing done on the onscreen keyboard, the forums list is not getting refreshed with the new logo, you have to go out of the forum list and back in again to see the new logo.
Yeah I know. It's somewhat non-trivial to make it update, but it's on my my todo.

Thanks and fixed.

If you have "Searching posts: open thread on post click" switched "on" then the posts won't go fullscreen. I actually prefer the context menu entry of "open post thread" the context menu option works nicely.
Well, you actually found 2 bugs, one of which was hidden by the bug causing the posts not to display fullscreen. Fixed.

Well, there is actually a different Tapatalk function for getting a users posts. I'll implement that later. On my TODO.

Hmmm... maybe the optional import doesn't work like I thought. I'll have to check into it.

Added to my TODO. Maybe I'll add a search history button, and have a settings option to auto fill the search terms with the last search.

Version 1.3.7

- Finally fixed (hopefully) the daylight savings time handling code for user activity display
- Show last seen time instead of activity if user not online

- Fix for forum manager night always highlighting the correct forum on open
- Logo and logo background color now update in forums manager when changed in forum settings
- Logo and header color now update in forums window when changed in forum settings and forums manager is closed
- Fix: Some forums (notably XBMC.org) weren't getting last post user data because they used a different key name for the value

RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - hasselhof - 2013-03-17

Hi ruuk,

thanks for all the updates, I've tested using Confluence, FB V1.4.0, Web viewer V0.9.9 Xbmcbuntu

The keyboard info window is very informative and does the required job.

When searching posts with "open thread on post click" enabled now displays full screen posts

The displaying of "none" is now working ok.

Forums & settings button layout is working quite well.

Search history is very nice.

The search user via "Recent posts" & "Recent threads" is working really nice.

The show search history toggle is working ok.

Show "last seen" if user is not online appears to working ok.

Show "Last activity" for online user appears to be working ok.

Logo & Logo backgrounds now update in forum window, when changed in the forum manager window.

Time offset seem to work ok, it showed the correct amount of time I was in forum (I added +1)

Edit posts is working ok.

Still testing.......


RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - hasselhof - 2013-03-17

Hi ruuk


I couldn't post in this thread via forum browser here is a log & screenshot of the error message. I was able to post at your test thread at xbmchub. Also coincidentally in the same thread if I press the context menu on any post I get the following see screenshot notice the colour reference on the subscribe to thread option. Interestingly if I subscribe to the thread via FB, go into my subscriptions there is no colour reference on the subscribe to thread option.

How I found the thread in question was by "search thread" for the word "playback", clicked on "speed up playback" thread started by "dhead" not sure if this would have any bearing on you traking the error.


RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - hasselhof - 2013-03-17

Hi ruuk,

If I do a search using "Search posts" button, I type in a search term for example "playback" it returns page 1 of 20, but you get no more pages,ie page 2 is blank and so on. I've tried clicking on the next page icon in to top right corner, I've used the context menu to "go to page number" or, "last post" it just returns a blank page see log, but it looks like there isn't much to go on in the log. When I do the same with "Search threads" it all works ok.

Hi ruuk,

If I except the keyboard mod it all works fine nice big typing area good one,
but the toggle button "use keyboard mod" in the settings has no effect
ie if I turn "use keyboard mod" off there is no effect the keyboard mod is still active.
Not sure if you meant this to happen.I've restarted xbmc to no effect.


RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - hasselhof - 2013-03-17

Regarding the keyboard mod they both work nicely in Transparency & Confluence, but I have one issue in that when a captcha appears the keyboard blocks the captcha now the typing area is so big. Check your pm shortly for a screenshot as the captcha is from a movie link website from the hub, dont want to post links here Smile


RE: [RELEASE] Forum Browser - Programs Addon - ruuk - 2013-03-17

I almost have all the bugs you found fixed. Here's some notes on ones I might finish after the next release.

Yeah, the old version didn't permanently install the skin file, so there wasn't a need to remove it. I'll add the code soon, but if you want your old keyboard back before I do that, you can delete the DialogKeyboard.xml fine in the skin 720p folder and rename the backup.

Maybe I could add a button to the keyboard that will cause it to slide down and/or move the whole keyboard down. Unfortunately I can't make the actual text box change, because XBMC interacts with that control directly. I tried a bunch of things that would have been nice if they had worked, but none did because of that and other issues, which is why I ultimately had to settle on what I did. maybe I could have a mode where the box could slide down, and have extra text be hidden under the rest of the keyboard. It's not really worse than current keyboard skins, where the typing goes to the edge and you get the '...' and can't see what you are typing afterwards.

The failure to post was because it was in a search result. As soon as I finish this post, I'll be looking at why it isn't working.

I've already fixed the other bugs. Update to follow, probably after I get posting working in the search result.

If you see this, I posted from a FB search result.
