    Trying out a new client

    !Firedog Community Member

      If you build it, I'll test it

       

      So now I'm testing it. No geekiness here, just a bog-standard user putting this thing through its paces.

          Let's try something formatted as JS:

           

          class HelloWorldApp {
              public static void main(String[] args) {
                  System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string.
              }
          }
          

           

          and plain nonformatted (= pre, I suppose)

           

          class HelloWorldApp {
              public static void main(String[] args) {
                  System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string.
              }
          }

            In the Web interface, the first one looks okay (but no formatting). In the client, neither text shows up at all!

             

            Email style code tags:

            for(var i=0;i<100;i++){
              alert("One day it'll be easy to use these forums!");
            }

             

            noformat code tags:

             

             

            for(var i=0;i<100;i++){

              alert("One day it'll be easy to use these forums!");

            }{/noformat}

             

            java code tags:

             

             

            for(var i=0;i<100;i++){

              alert("One day it'll be easy to use these forums!");

            }{/java}

              Hmm.

               

              That's no good...

                Looks like oddly-formatted bits of posts don't make it back to the client. I'm sure Jochem's working on that.

                 

                The formatting tags (see http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/3384-445069-2024949-10091/Text+Markup +Syntax+Help.htm ) don't need slashes in the closing ones - same tag fore and aft. "code" tags should default to formatting as JS, but I couldn't see any colour-coding of reserved words, for example.

                 

                I forgot to try an index to see whether that makes it through the filters. That has supposedly been fixed.

                  Let's try another one...

                   

                  Curly:

                   

                  days = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"]
                  for(var i=0;i<days.length;i++){
                    alert("Maybe on "+days++" it'll be easy to use these forums!");
                  }

                   

                  Square:

                   

                  days = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"]
                  for(var i=0;i<days.length;i++){
                    alert("Maybe on "+days++" it'll be easy to use these forums!");
                  }

                   

                  curly with spaces:

                  days = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"]
                  for(var i=0;i<days.length;i++){
                    alert("Maybe on " + days+ + " it'll be easy to use these forums!");
                  }

                   

                  square with spaces:

                   

                  days = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"]
                  for(var i=0;i<days.length;i++){
                    alert("Maybe on " + days+ + " it'll be easy to use these forums!");
                  }

                    Nope. That's pretty messed up. Indexes still are no good...

                      I'm not (yet) working on the way messages are displayed / posted. I just finished the protection against negative numbers of unread messages, next is reimplementing the synchronisation of threads to get rid of the messagecounts that are too high. Which is a bit of a pain, because they occur when you have a unread message in one forum that is moved to another forum or deleted before it is read, and Jive does not have webservices that publish that data.
