Version 0.9.46 RC4

Changes:
- When no private messages, private messages view now shows "No messages" in the title bar instead of showing an error
- Added an option in settings: 'Experimental' which enables experimental stuff. Right now it enables a WIP general forum browser

On my REPO.

Hi ruuk


Can confirm the "no messages" works a treat, no more yellow box

I've activated the experimental features, and tried to enter a forum path but get a yellow box, can you give an example forum for me to work with. In the meantime see screen shot and log in next post, as going onto main computer upstairs to send you my log and screenshot

Hi ruuk


When I wrote my first reply confirming the "No messages" worked, I got a Yellow box on submitting post
Saying "error getting posts Please try Again" "No posts" after clicking ok, I then clicked refresh I was able to see my post.
See screenshot http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.hansel...hot038.png


When I tried and added a forum in the experimental section I got the following yellow box
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.hansel...hot037.png
The forum and how I typed it was www.ubuntuforums.org after I clicked ok on the yellow window, I was logged out of XBMC.org which I was previously logged into.

Thanks for the update

[ruuk]

This is a test. Hopefully I get an error

I got the error as well. I'm looking into it. Maybe a release before even RC8 was optimistic

I knew you would just have to try the experimental thing
You need to type the full url - http://ubuntuforums.org/ (maybe I'll change that before the next update)

Just assume that anything you use that I have under the 'experimental' heading is 'Use at your own risk' and 'May cause errors at any time and I don't care'
This is mostly so I can test some things without actually including them in the normal code. I'm not necessarily paying attention to whether it works at all when I put out a new release.

That being said, feel free to play with it. In the current release it tries to work with vbulletin, mybb and phbb (ubuntu should work, it's one I tested with)
It only shows forums and threads. The next release will probably have posts. Everything will be somewhat messy with missing descriptions and such. There is no page handling. Trying anything I didn't put in will cause errors.

Right now I'm just playing around and seeing how much I can do with a general purpose parser, getting an idea of what does and does not work.
The idea is to get something that can do some barebones work with most forums, and then to add as little forum type specific stuff to that model as I can get away with.

Hi ruuk

I can confirm you are a genius

That worked a treat, as you say right the way upto posts

I compleatly understand about all the experimental features and there backseat position so to speak.
But I still like to test them.

Looks really promising.

Thanks John.

Glad you got the posting yellow box too

Hi ruuk

I think there are a couple of typo's in the help sections

Set logins - "available" is spelt wrong

"Experimental" is also spelt wrong

My wife spotted them, as I'm not that good at spelling if it's more that six letters

[ruuk]

This is a test of the emergency bug fix system. This is only a test.

This is a test from my phone...

Another test from FB

[ruuk]

This is going to be the last test. I can feel it.

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.

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 ?

[hasselhof]

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