Tracker is buggy

System Administrator Wednesday 26 of April, 2006

I edited the Planetfall entry in the Themes tracker, and when I clicked "Save and view", the page refreshed showing no items in the tracker. I tried to re-enter the information, and got an error (didn't write down the details). ๐Ÿ˜•

I'll try to reinput the information and add other items. Trackers seem to work fairly reliably elsewhere so I'll try again maybe when files are updated.

Theme-o-rama change

System Administrator Thursday 20 of April, 2006

The Theme-o-rama module was originally made by using the code for the "switch theme" module, and including a set list of theme choices rather than whatever is listed in the styles/ directory.

But due to a recent change in the switch-themes code, the old Theme-o-rama stopped working when I updated it to include the Tikipedia choice. I hope I'll be able to figure out a Theme-o-rama script that doesn't get stripped out of the module by Tiki. In the meantime, Theme-o-rama is a "fake module," actually a module-lookalike template file (Javascript OK), called from tiki.tpl.

This increases admin work, since every tiki.tpl file — default and theme-specific — has to be edited to include the file. And it's anti-Tiki in the sense that things that look like modules should be modules, configurable through Tiki's web interface. But modules' inability to contain things like onchange="this.form.submit();" makes this impossible, unless I'm missing something.

UPDATE: I made and uploaded a .php-and-.tpl module that contains the script, so it works, not having to go through the user modules processing.

Log-in needed for file downloading

System Administrator Monday 13 of March, 2006
The download counter spiked from 95 to 5800 for the Planetfall theme in only a few hours, so it looks like somebody's playing with a script or something. Kubrick jumped a while back by a couple of hundred, which I thought was strange but not totally impossible. Downloading files now requires the user to be Registered. I set the Planetfall total back to 95, where it was a few hours ago when I last checked.
