You don't have to go home, but you can't stay in this code tour: YAPC 2013 (21 April - 7 Jun)

...and here I am with part two, for your movie-quote pleasure.



Bug 175: database column type review
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [staff profile] mark
Description: This was a very, very old bug opened even before the site opened for beta. (Wow!) This particular bug was opened to check through the declared database columns -- many of which were quite old, dating back to 1998 -- to see if any of them needed to be modernized from 32-bit to 64-bit. As Indiana Jones said, "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage."

Bug 2272: Day view should make all entries accessible
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [staff profile] mark
Description: This increases the number of entries you can see that are all dated on a single day. Previously, if you had more than 200 entries for a single day, they couldn't all be viewed at once in the day view. As Phil said (in Groundhog Day), "It was the end of a very long day."

Patch by: [staff profile] mark

Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] liv
Description: Lots of new themes for Crisped, including three from [personal profile] veryroundbird, six from [community profile] flatlanders, and eighteen from [profile] nornoriel. As (fictional) Al Capone said, "Part of a team. Teamwork... Looks, throws, catches, hustles. Part of one big team... I'm goin' out there for myself. But... I get nowhere unless the team wins."

Bug 5072: Birthday inbox notif: pm and gift links are switched around

Category: Journal contents
Suggested by: [personal profile] larissa
Patch by: [personal profile] foxfirefey
Description: As it says on the tin, embeds from plurk.com are now allowed. As Gimli said, "Of course he's twitching, he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system."

Bug 1763: Resource line shows up beside Layout in credit module with sufficiently short text/small font
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] momijizukamori
Description: Removed some obsolete CSS to make sure the resource line always shows up on the next line. As the Gold Leader said when attacking the Death Star, "We're too close!"

Bug 5061: Lefty: non-standard icons distorted in profile module
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] momijizukamori
Description: Before this fix, icons displated in the profile module weren't scaling proportionally. As Leonard Shelby said, "Memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.

Bug 5068: Elegant brown theme for Leftovers
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] liv
Description: A new theme for Leftovers by [personal profile] rising. As The Stranger said to The Dude, "I like your style, Dude."

Bug 4650: Remove or replace bootstrap.pl
Category: Site Administration
Patch by: [personal profile] shadowspar
Description: This change updates the script to do the right commands in the right order and make it easier and simpler for people who are installing their own version of the code. As Will Turner said, "My name is Will Turner, my father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins."

Bug 4772: stats page uses oldstyle urls
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Patch by: [personal profile] shadowspar
Description: This updates the site stats page to use the pretty DW-style userheads and links to users. As Dawn Summers said, "I just think you're freakin' out 'cause you have to fight someone prettier than you. That is the case, right?"

Bug 5027: reply by email: retries when comment posting fails (instead of dequeuing)
Category: Mobile
Patch by: [personal profile] fu
Description: If an error occurs when you reply by email, it will generate a useful error message and give it another try, instead of just giving up. As Charles Xavier said, "Don't give up on them, Erik."

Bug 5025: gmail is linebreaking comment reply by email
Category: Inbox/Notifications
Patch by: [personal profile] fu
Description: This compensates for linebreaks that Gmail puts into replies sent by email. Because Gmail likes to do its own thing, don't you know. As Grand Moff Tarkin said, "We will deal with your rebel friends soon enough."

Bug 5031: Planet Caravan - entry footer breaks with disabled comments
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] momijizukamori

Bug 5034: allow more authorized emails
Category: Misc UI/Frontend
Patch by: [personal profile] fu
Description: It used to be you could authorize up to three email addresses for email posting, but now that we've got reply-by-email, we bumped that up to five. As James T. Kirk said, "These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her three- five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."

Bug 2896: Improve/customize the messages added to emails by the spam filter
Category: Configuration
Patch by: [personal profile] alierak
Description: Changes the message displayed on emails sent to your @dreamwidth.org email address that our system thinks are spam to make it clearer what is happening. As the Monty Python waitress said, "Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it."

Bug 5059: Lefty: sidebar overlapping global container
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] momijizukamori
Description: The sidebar in the Lefty style was behaving badly, pushing and shoving and not sharing the window with the actual content. As Pa'u Zhaan said, "I'm a Delvian Pa'u, a priest of the ninth level. We learn to share others' pain."

Bug 5051: Lefty: unreadable/overlapping previous/next links
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] momijizukamori
Description: More chiropractic work on Lefty, so that everything's aligned properly now. As Eddie Izzard said, "I had to go see a chiropractor in New York. And they're different from osteopaths, because of the spelling. Of course, they're both very powerful figures on the Scrabble board, though."

Bug 5078: Commandline tool to look up routing paths
Category: Routing/TT
Patch by: [personal profile] exor674
Description: So say you have a url that's called in the code, somewhere, but you need to find where it is it's called from. This tool will help you track down the contorller that handles a given url. As Yoda said, "Track down this bounty hunter routing path, you must, Obi-Wan."

Bug 5082: Exponential duplication of POST arguments in DW::Request
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [personal profile] exor674
Description: Soooo... eight members of the DW team are sitting here in a hotel room in Austin, so I asked them what this bug was about. They assure me it's a back-end thing that only affected things behind the scenes. So, as reboot James T. Kirk said during the Kobayashi Maru test, "Yeah, don't worry about it."

Bug 4402: Strip out site messages code
Category: Modernization
Patch by: [personal profile] lucymclaughlin
Description: Some vestigial code from before the fork from LJ, which would allow for site messages to be displayed on everyone's journal. We've never used it on DW, and never plan to. And Vader said, "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

Bug 3081: Allow renaming pic#xxx keywords
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [personal profile] purplecat

Bug 3376: Support: extend search to support requests
Category: Search
Patch by: [staff profile] mark
Description: This will let support volunteers conduct a full text search of previous support answers, so they can investigate requests more easily and throughly. As Aramis said, "Only the wrong words are waste of time. The right words can make a more lasting impression than a thousand of Porthos's kisses."

Bug 4839: Librarian's Dream: header has odd border when there's no bkg color

Category: Style System

Description: 22 new themes for Abstractia by [profile] nornoriel. As Tony Stark said, "Following's not really my style."

Bug 4756: Planet Caravan: new themes
Category: Style System
Patch by: [personal profile] momijizukamori
Description: 19 new themes for Planet Caravan by [personal profile] rising. As Steve Rogers said, "And you're all about style, aren't you?"

Bug 5085: If template does not exist, give a scrutable error
Category: Routing/TT
Patch by: [personal profile] fu
Description: Error messages aren't much help unless they're written in English, so you can tell what the heck's going on. As Directory Fury said, "We've made some mistakes along the way. Some, very recently." And a readable error message will help us fix them.

Bug 2114: Fix unreachable entries for next/previous entry navigation when posting DOOO
Category: Journal contents
Patch by: [personal profile] kareila
Description: If entries in a personal journal were posted with the dates out of order, they were sometimes skipped when using the next & previous buttons. As Doc Brown said, "If you're gonna build a time machine into a car journal, why not do it with some style?"

Bug 3734: drop superfluous www if added before journal URL
Category: Misc Backend
Patch by: [staff profile] mark
Description: If you accidentally type "www" before your journal's url, this will strip it out and redirect you to the correct url. And as I said, "That's the end of this code tour, folks. Thanks for reading along!"
