MMH v1.5 Bug Reports

[Fliggerty]

Please report any problems that you experience since the latest update to Morrowind Modding History in this thread.

When doing so, please explain in as much detail as possible what you were doing when you experienced the problem.  Also include what operating system and browser (including version) you are using.

Critical Bugs

• Bread crumbs are not linking properly

Known Bugs

• "Sort By" options do not respond
• Hyperlinks are not parsing properly
• Ctrl+click not responding properly in all browsers*

Resolved Bug

• "Black Heart Armor" bug
• The submit button in the edit window isn't working for some.
• Login form redirection problem
• "What's New" showing recently edited mods
• Ctrl+click not responding on all lists
• Not all mods with screenshots are displaying a screenshot in mod list
• Emoticons should not parse
• Non-stewards could not edit or delete their own mods
• Ad spaces in mod list on category view no longer have link to dead page
• Mod checking seems to not be working

*Note about ctrl+click:
It seems that there is a Firefox bug which prevents the method used to handle this type of event from working properly.  Middle-click works just fine, but ctrl+click does not (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748740)  They have fixed the bug, but it will not be available until FF v22.

The sort by Date/title/author isn't responding for me in any browser

[Spirithawke]

The submit button in the edit window isn't working for me.  It does work on on skunkworks though.

This seems very strange but every mod I visit it shows [url]http://mw.modhistory.com/download-55-34"][/url].
The page is not getting redirected but the URL in address bar reads that of the mod I intend to see but the page displayed is of "Black Heart Armor".The download button works correctly only the description is of BHA. Also the screenshots if present shows correctly.

This screenshot should explain it-->https://www.dropbox.com/s/rpf51nx28fbxw98/Screenshot1.jpg

I use Firefox 20.0.1 BTW.

[Fliggerty]

The "Black Heart Armor" bug is affecting anybody who isn't logged in, or is logged in as a non-admin user it seems.  I'm trying to sort it out now.

[Fliggerty]

Okay, that one should be fixed.

[Spirithawke]

Couple issues fer yas....when starting out on the MMH page....I had issues logging in.  Chrome would not even popup the login box, Waterfox would..but would not accept my pw and sent me to a GHF looking page to try again...this time it seemed to take, but..it sent me to skunkworks not logged in.  Continueing to attempt on Waterfox I was able to go to GHF itself and login successfully.

Edit: thought fer yas...editing takes forever to submit when it did work..could you maybe disable ads for edit mode so the page loads a touch bit faster?
Edit2: Submit button not working for chrome either (after going to GHF to login with it)

[Drakkmore]

During the mod edit process the submit button has no visual effect at all the page just sits there never changing.
Refreshing the page brings it back to the Mod Download page, but leaves the file locked. MMH staff needs to unlock files in Admin tools.
I am using Waterfox Mozilla's 64 bit Firefox clone.
I have not tried this with any other browsers.



EDIT: Changes to the mods do not seem to take effect.

[Fliggerty]

I think most of those problems you guys are having are related to the issue with the edit mode submit bug.  There was a database schema update problem that was preventing edits from being stored, and the error wasn't being returned properly.  I've resolved that now, so those issues ought to be worked out.

5/16 10:05 PM EDIT:

#1 SO a bit odd on the CTRL+click and Wheel click it works find in a category list but it doesn't when you use it in search results,
in chrome 26 neither work it opens the link in the new tab and in the original
IN FIrefox 20.0 the wheel click works right but the Ctrl+click opens the link in the new tab and in the original
In Internet Explorer 10 they both work right

In category list view
in chrome 26 they both work right
IN FIrefox 20.0 the wheel click works right but the Ctrl+click i get nothing at all
In Internet Explorer 10 the both work right

In Author List View
in chrome 26 neither work it opens the link in the new tab and in the original
IN FIrefox 20.0 the wheel click works right but the Ctrl+click opens the link in the new tab and in the original
In Internet Explorer 10 the both work right

I'll see if i can find an instance of them both working as expected using FF and where to try to help to narrow down what could be done with that cross browser nightmare.  

#2 The search form and button are pushed down a bit in the top bar most likely a margin or padding thing...


#3 so in playing and trying the options....
I looked through my collection and thought i found a missing file (it was but wasn't)
ovalrugs01.zip - Oval Rugs 01 plugin by Kittybrod http://mw.modhistory.com/download-56-14732
i found one of her listings, http://mw.modhistory.com/download-6-4197,
and copied and pasted the name with all the AKA's filled in the details and uploaded it.
I have then tried searching for it by TItle and Author and it doesn't show, i have also clicked on the author and it's not showing up in the listing.
SO seems like a little oddness for new files

#4 Not sure if it's supposed to be ignore but the authors with AKA are hiving listing blean in other authors with AKA's.

#5 The Sort options are still showing no response for me from two different computers the pages and number to list are working great and fast


It looks good and functions better than the prior i get results and listings noticeably faster hollar at me if you need some quick testing i'm again around to much.

Yes, I can confirm that its ts fixed now.

[Spirithawke]

This is a minor thing, it used to be the the 3 mods shown on the MMH home page for "Whats New" were recently uploaded mods.  Currently, edited mods are also showing up there.  Before if you actually clicked on the Whats New link, then you got the whole list that showed edited and newly uploaded mixed together (if you were staff).  Can it revert back to the old behavior for this one thing?  Also...I looked with another browser not logged in (guest) and those edited mods are showing up there too which I am moderately certain was not how it was in the past.

[Fliggerty]

I'm pretty sure I didn't make any changes to the "What's New" code at all.....

It will take up to 4 hours for new hours to be entirely search indexed.  The new search system doesn't just look through the data like the old one did, instead there is an indexer that runs every so often and builds an incremental index.  There is an autocomplete index that is run every 4 hours.  So don't expect new mods to show up right away.  Fortunately they will always show on the "What's New" page.

[Spirithawke]

I'm pretty sure I didn't make any changes to the "What's New" code at all.....

This morning it is back to the old behavior on the MMH home page...so if you changed something...thank-you Fliggerty.

Edit:  I note that when making clicky links the  manual way you now have to go thru the tool->source window lol.  I just did one the manual way and was surprised when it did not update the link. [url=download--2992]Samurai Helm v1.0[/url] showed up exactly as typed instead of updating...all these sneaky changes

[Fliggerty]

I've fixed the bug that prevented most mods with screenshots from displaying a screenshot on the mod list pages.

[latendresse76 Avoiding Ilsa Lund]

i'm not sure if you still have the tes3cmd scan thing working with 1.5 but it doesn't seem to be. I just added the info to this http://mw.modhistory.com/download--2161 and it's one of the dirtiest i have seen in a while and there was no automated admin comments added.

It is also trying to change :p and to emocons which you can see in this one http://mw.modhistory.com/download--2155

the breadcrumbs are broke for the intermediary pages. They work on individual mods and show you where they are but if you are in a sub category they don't show said sub category.
on a mod it would show
Download >> Unprocessed >> Models and Textures
if i click Models and Textures
i only get  
Download >>
I tried the bread crumbs in both chrome and FF

When making hyperlinks after hitting the submit button...something goes wrong now...I would swear it worked fine yesterday I thought. See pics below.

[Melchior Dahrk ...indomitable will might rid Morrowind of all its ills.]

Here's a little one: the randomized featured mods at the bottom of the page (where it shows a row of 7 screenshots) has the potential to show the same two mods at the same time. Not like it's major, it just seems unnecessary. Perhaps institute exclusivity in that featured bar.

[Spirithawke]

Another minor annoyance...in the edit screen...when you go to paste something in to some of the editing boxes like description, submitter comments, admin comments, instead of pasting where you put it...it pastes in to the very bottom.  I been having to go to the tools-->Source window and fix it there as that window/box behaves.

I suspect it's just the comments aren't being added properly.  All of the scanning should be happening, and there aren't any errors being logged....and I've got a ton of error logging set up for that stuff.

I've not changed anything with text parsing recently.  Hyperlinks have always been an issue though...the newest version of TinyMCE does not play well with phpBB3 in that regards.  See if it works better if you just paste the URL instead of using a BBCode.

I'll see what I can do about that.

There isn't anything I can do about that now.  I know it's been brought up in TinyMCE development talk, but I'm not sure where it's at in their roadmap.  Paste format handling is so deep in that code, I'd rather not get into it...plus it'd be a compatibility nightmare when it comes upgrade time.

[Spirithawke]

ok...tried a bit more here... just pasting in an url gets no link at all, using the whole url with the actual link tool converts to BB code which then chokes. puttin in html code in the cource window also converts to BBcode...putting in HTML code and not going to the source window displays a mess

i got it to work using a "Mostly-Mini URL", it seems to be having issues with only local links it's loosing the "http://mw.modhistory.com/" but the WYSIWYG isn't seeing local paths as being real url's.

[Spirithawke]

Hmmm....the only problem I have with using a mostly mini url is that if Fliggerty ever discontinues it then a lot of MMH links would be broken.

[Spirithawke]

Youtube tags are getting messed up by the editor somehow.  I put some into a mod entry using the source window.  In the normal edit window after closing the source window the video itself showed.  After hitting submit the tags are shown like this:

Code: Select all

[ytube]5YrMrYvAaJA[/ytube]

 somehow the "ou" for "you" is getting cut out it appears giving the [ytube] instead of [youtube].
