Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:25:08 +0000 Brian Neal Adding Ariel's (DreadInBabylon) awesome new news topic icons.
Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:14:26 +0000 Brian Neal Backout last change. Stay xhtml for now.
Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:10:30 +0000 Brian Neal Configure jPlayer to show hours in the duration.
Sat, 05 Nov 2011 15:54:53 +0000 Brian Neal Changed to HMTL5 in base template.
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:48:45 +0000 Brian Neal For #235, some minor news tweaks. The submitted by text is now a link to the author's profile. Only show 1 textarea to the user when submitting a new news story. The admin can paste into the 2nd one if needed.
Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:07:50 +0000 Brian Neal Added a custom tag to display a link to a profile. Refactored the avatar tag to optionally display a profile link around the image. Removed the width and height attributes from the avatar image tag. I think this was causing disk hits whenever those properties were not cached. The avatar tag is now an inclusion tag.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:00:19 +0000 Brian Neal For #233; add social media sharing buttons to the photo of the day app.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:36:37 +0000 Brian Neal For #233, switched to asynchronous loading of the social media sharing javascript. Also switched to Facebook's javascript SDK instead of using an iframe for the like/share button.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:31:22 +0000 Brian Neal For #232, add some javascript to resize large images in user comments.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 01:24:46 +0000 Brian Neal For #234, update jPlayer to 2.0.1.
Wed, 19 Oct 2011 00:05:54 +0000 Brian Neal For #233; add social media sharing buttons to podcast pages.
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:23:42 +0000 Brian Neal For #233, add a meta description field for news stories. This field will get put in the open graph meta tag for better descriptions when shared on social media sites.
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:14:34 +0000 Brian Neal For #233, make sure og:url and og:image are fully qualified (http://).

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 02:12:05 +0000 Brian Neal Fix #231: add a 'view my forum posts' link to profile.
Fri, 07 Oct 2011 02:11:33 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #230; add a scrollbar to the PM popup dialog if necessary. This wasn't as easy as I thought. Had to wrap the PM text in a div with its styling (max-height and overflow). If I then resized the dialog, I'd get two scrollbars. So for now, made the dialog non-resizable.
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:09:30 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #229: Download details view with a bogus download ID produces internal server error isntead of a 404.
Sun, 25 Sep 2011 00:49:05 +0000 Brian Neal Refactor RateLimiter so that if Redis is not running, everything still runs normally (minus the rate limiting protection). My assumption that creating a Redis connection would throw an exception if Redis wasn't running was wrong. The exceptions actually occur when you issue a command. This is for #224.
Sun, 11 Sep 2011 19:50:59 +0000 Brian Neal Updating to MarkitUp 1.1.12. Merging vendor branch changes into trunk.

Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:46:13 +0000 Brian Neal Updating the warning on the registration page; it is now only AT&T and Sbcglobal that aren't getting our mail.
Tue, 06 Sep 2011 22:40:34 +0000 Brian Neal Putting the 50 years of surf music banner on the base template so all pages get it.
Mon, 05 Sep 2011 23:43:08 +0000 Brian Neal Adding Ferenc's 50 years of surf music banner.
Sat, 27 Aug 2011 04:23:30 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #224; make sure we block IP's that have tripped the rate limiter or have been manually blocked.
Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:23:55 +0000 Brian Neal Implement rate limiting on registration and login for #224.
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 02:02:20 +0000 Brian Neal For #227: only enqueue user profiles if the user has changed the content we have in the search index.
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:29:27 +0000 Brian Neal For #227; rework last commit slightly (r508). Adapt the desired forums signal signature to the queued_search API instead of the other way around.
Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:02:08 +0000 Brian Neal Smarter search index updating for forums. This work is for #227.
Sun, 07 Aug 2011 03:38:42 +0000 Brian Neal Adding a basic forums test that exercises adding a new topic, post, and editing a post.
Sun, 24 Jul 2011 18:12:20 +0000 Brian Neal Add the ability to conditionally add model instances to the search index on update. This is not perfect, as some instances should be deleted from the index if they are updated such that they should not be in the index anymore. Will think about and address that later.
Sun, 24 Jul 2011 02:35:17 +0000 Brian Neal Upgrading to markitup version 1.1.11. This fixes #226.
Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:28:33 +0000 Brian Neal Add raw_id_fields to the FlaggedPostAdmin.

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 02:00:48 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #225; for some reason MySQL finds the user 'John' when searching for 'John ' (note trailing space). This doesn't happen on SQLite. This causes a NoReverseMatch when searching for 'John ' in the member search. The solution is to call strip() on the form field contents in the clean_username() method of the search form.
Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:40:56 +0000 Brian Neal Adding a priority field to news stories for front page display purposes. This fixes #223.
Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:24:18 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #222. Verified all the fields have been validated before trying to use them in the form.clean() method.
Sun, 03 Jul 2011 19:35:09 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #221. Found some additional cases where the forum moderator check was failing. Replaced this code with calls to the new permissions module.
Sat, 02 Jul 2011 23:35:45 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #221. Also combined all permissions checks into a new module, permissions.py. This allows us to cache user, category, and forum groups information since it rarely changes.
Sat, 02 Jul 2011 03:52:43 +0000 Brian Neal Finishing up #220. Updated to GData v2.0 and using the new OAuth access token.

Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:24:41 +0000 Brian Neal Attempting to fix #218; update the topic last visit time with 'now' when viewing the last page of a topic, otherwise use the creation time of the last post on the page.
Sat, 04 Jun 2011 19:10:34 +0000 Brian Neal Tweaking the birthday block; now display a list of people for each day and bold the current day.

Wed, 18 May 2011 03:04:25 +0000 Brian Neal Fixing #214; don't need a custom model search view. All the info is in the template. Wrote a template tag to extract the info from the request context and urlencode them.
