MisterPhilip Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Some feedback we have for the editor... Allow users to manually save their content. Sometimes we need to do research or write a tl;dr and it would be nice to force a save to the db in case we accidentally close the wrong tab, hit the backspace while not focused on the editor, etc. We feel that while the auto-save has defaults that are suitable for a majority of boards (especially those on lower-end boxes), it would be great to either allow the users to save or have the option to lower the delay between saves, without editing source JS files. A nice to have, but not necessary. Similarly, the checks between if a new reply exists... it would be nice to be able to change this without editing source JS files. On faster paced boards 2 minutes is a looong time. Obviously I can go in and edit the IPS_NEW_POST_POLLING variable. A nice to have, but not necessary. Currently there is no word wrapping when the editor is disabled and you're in "source mode." There are a few bug reports on this (see here and here), both of which say there isn't a fix that IPB is willing to do. Since 35% of our traffic is on Chrome, we looked into and have found a solution that seems to be working just fine. I've attached the code changes (from 3.3.4, I haven't checked 3.4b2 for merging issues yet but the issue still exists.) I have a few other things, but I've placed them in the tracker since they appear to not be working as intended. PS - Thanks for making the notification for new replies actually stick around. MUUUCHHH better now. EDIT: new replies notification still disappears? I wish it didn't & had a close button instead :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPhilip Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Also, I cannot find the thread / bug report that references this (I could've sworn there was one), but a notification should appear in the situation a new reply has been created when you hit the submit button. For example, if personA starts to type a reply and personB adds a reply 30 seconds later, if personA submits their reply at 60 seconds a notification should appear showing the new reply. This should allow users to edit their reply before submitting it since a new reply exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimi Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 :) That's not currently a feature of IPB if that's what you're saying. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPhilip Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Right, but I could've sworn there was an IPS reply about this being added in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLinks Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 :smile: That's not currently a feature of IPB if that's what you're saying. :smile: Actually it is. When you are typing a response and a new respond has been posted , you receive a small js tooltip on top of the screen that informs you about new reply.

When you are typing a response and a new respond has been posted , you receive a small js tooltip on top of the screen that informs you about new reply. But it does not appear when clicking the submit button, just on the 2 minute polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's asking for a notification that tells you there were new posts made when you hit the submit button so you can adjust your post accordingly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not asking for a notification from the core just a js pop up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
