Working toward a better spiked

Nakey's picture

Hi all Nakey here,

If you haven’t already noticed we are going through some changes. It’s good to know about changes before they happen, and it’s really important to know that everybody goes through it. No matter where you live or what music you listen to it will eventually happen. Now, no two people are exactly alike or experience this is the same way.

See, when a young person hits a certain age they start to notice things. Like hair in places it’s never been before or your voice may become deeper. For some extra muscle mass is put on with a widening of the shoulders. For others fatty tissue deposits may form around the hips and you may begin to develop breasts.

Whatever happens remember Danthemanjones is here to help and He’ll be taking us to second base in no time.

For now the SpikedNation hosting arrangements have been taken care of and all went smoothly. Some adjustments to the site have been implemented such as:

  • Comment widget
  • Navigation bar on all relevant pages
  • New styling
  • And he’s even working on a, wait for it, new mobile menu!

There will be more to come shortly so stay tuned.

Please report any bugs you find on the forum here: spikednationcom-support

Lastly props and many thanks to Danthemanjones for the great work he’s done both now and in the future.

 

Nakey out!

So you're the guy making all the awesome changes to the site?  Fucking A man, keep up the good work.

BTW, Grothesk said I should ask you to unlock my ability to embed images and shit.  Is that do able?  I'm back working full time now so I'm only able to check in when I get home and would like to have the ability to use GIFs again.

IT's all good, I figured out how to do it.  You can't copy and paste like the old days because, I think, it attempts to upload the image to the site.  As long as I embed and link to the off site image it works.

Hey guys, the site has been updated. Just a couple of small changes this week

- Front page mobile layout improved

- Side bar now hides on mobile - to see it just tilt your device to the side

- 2 of the content filters removed - nobody was clicking them & they cause visual glitch on mobile.

There still seems to e a glitch with the comments, but maybe my browser just jumps to the wrong comment box when pressing the reply button. in the recent Orville video I replied to napalm ok but before I tried to reply to grotesk and failed.

Would you think it's possible (easy) to create a "pop up editor"?

It might be possible but not easy. I'll look into it.

Update: It's actually quite difficult to hack into Drupal modules like that. I created a login popup which took over a day and still had outstanding issues so I'm reluctant to waste time on the comments unless more people report problems. I've not experienced a problem with commenting myself which makes it even harder to debug (you can't fix what you can't replicate).

I can't make a video, but I can do a quick walk through:

 

1.  Click "add content" at the very top right of the page.  

2.  Click "video submission" at the top left.  (Note:  "video submissions" with an "s" at the end of it doesn't work)

3.  Input your title name.

4.  Click the "Browse" button under the word "Media" and simply include the Youtube link.

5.  Write a small description.  

6.  Hit "save" and you have successfully uploaded a video.

ok here's the deal, i thought we had fixed this stuff. you are a member and as a member cannot post videos. new additions to spiked are members untill such and such is triggered then you move on to spiker. i thought i had set this to members move on to spikers after a few hours but drupal gets updates every now and then blah blah blah. i'll take a look at it and see what i can do about fixing this for everyone.

for now i have bestowed upon you the title of spiker!

Latest updates:

  • Optimized database queries on front page, site no longer hangs or times out when trying to repopulate the cache with new content
  • Fixed some image-related bugs that caused frontpage content to fail on subsequent loads (infinite scroll now works so you can load the entire history of content)
  • Tracker page & Users By Points pages now load 100 rows
  • Poll Results link now shows after you have voted so you can re-visit the latest poll page more easily after voting/commenting
  • Fixed bullet point indentation for comments & added CSS for font/link/bullet points in the editor
  • Changed default homepage (where you are redirected to after logging in/out) from /content/daily-gifs-and-videos to just / so the site will actuually load content ... it takes you to /node but whatever, it works.
  • Started cleaning up user pages for mobile
    • Removed "Mentions" module, nobody was using it and it's too technical to use
    • Remove ability for users to edit badges, this is just for DBotY & Beta testers which are both controlled by admins/mods
  • Tweaked latest content layout (top section on front page)

    Latest updates (commenting tweaks):

    • Added AutoGrow plugin to wysiwyg editor & set min height to 120px (slightly higher than before) (requires browser hard refresh)
    • Heights of images in comments now scale properly
    • Filtered HTML text format seems like it can't be removed withhout breaking some parts of the site but Full HTML is set as default on everything other than content submissions... and Filtered HTML now has same settings as Full HTML. Hopefully this removes the issue of people being unable to post images in comments once & for all.
    • Blockquote styles added to comments (the little quote symbol in the comment editing toolbar)
    • Source formatting applied to editor config (tidies up HTML code, adding newlines & indentation)
    • Text-wrapping added to textareas (Plain text & source formatting no longer suffers from super-wide text within the edtor)
    • Form field backgrounds darker, left login in header form as-is (requires browser hard-reload)

    ALSO:

    • Changed the title of site from "SpikedNation Beta" to "SpikedNation - Daily Videos, Gifs and News" (important for search engines)

    TODO:

    • Fix or remove the "Link to comment" link underneath comments. When linking to your own comment the URL is broken.

    I think the 8 ppl that have been visiting spiked for years and still do have got that down by now. You can safely remove it.

    Another problem, i have a video of rating 2.9 its not to bad but not that good and it made the front page, on the other side i have a video with rating 4.5 that is clearly better but posted at the wrong time so less votes.

    So bottom line shitty vid makes it to front page good vid will not because it is lost at the bottom of newer posts kinda sucks ha...

    A video hits the front page when it hits 10 votes.  More than likely what happened is that your video that is currently at 2.9 had a middle of the road rating of 3.4 or so when it hit the front page, and then when it got to the front page a few more people voted it lower than a 3.0 which lowered its rating to a 2.9.  Just because it drops below a 3.0 after it hits the front page doesn't mean it disappears.  

     

    Your 4.5 video probably has less than 10 votes as well.

    Through a bit of social engineering you could get the votes, or the video promoted. Remember that Admin thread where you could put your link?

    Quick notification:  just a few days ago the "Recent Content" link had a cap put upon it of how many results you could view.  I can now see the 25 most recent comment responses and video submissions.  I believe that this makes it so that I miss a lot of conversation and video submissions.  

     

    Is there any way for me as a user to change it so I see the 50, 75, or 100 most recent comment responses and video submissions?

    The best I can do is increase it from 25 to 50 or 100 or something.

    Having an issue where it'll not keep me logged in when i'm browsing around, Like i'm a guest.

    Can't comment or vote. 

     

    I usually open SN and line up all the newest content with "open in new tab".

    Top right will have username blank, like I logged out, on all of the tabs.

     

    Had this before and I can't remember who fixed it... Maybe just need to clear cookies... 

    ^(Where's the other bug thread from when the new site first came in. The beta tester thread.

     

    Thanks, you talented fuckers.

    Update: It seems to be working much better after that update - I've only been logged out once since yesterday... I think clearing your cokies for this site could help if it's still happening a lot fo you.

    Well, I'm not allowed to start new threads anywhere. I don't know if it's just me or if there are certain things you need to do in order to be able to participate in the forums. Can't message anyone about it, so I'm just going to leave this here. I'd love to contribute.

    • Styles within the wisywig editor now work for those who are CSS-savvy (eg. image width/height in the image properties dialog)
    • Front page is now less clunky with a better caching mechanism. Reload time is massively reduced.

     

    Potential new feature - stay logged in for 30 days or until you logout

    Well you're having a field day here. Community is dying though as far as I can tell, unless we either revamp the voting system, or we resurrect the gallery and the gif galleries

    Don't join the " Don't need this site anymore " bandwagon just yet. I've been seeing new faces, many of the interuptors have lost steam, our back end is looking sexier, and our numbers aren't SCARY like they were in the "Oh shit this site was worth $80k and now it's $11k, because trolls and elephantitus of the ass ". 

     

    There are improvements being made all the time and this new site is layed out muuuch better.  Thx all.

    https://builtwith.com/spikednation.com   

     

    It just feels weird with no image gallery at the moment. 

    -I hope everything is okay with our friend VioletNinja?...

     

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -The image Gallery could have 3-4 contributors with their own galleries, staggered through the week. 

     

    -Gifs need to come back, and we need to abandon news in our title and theme.  

     

    -Danman could probably use a sidekick, or two. To have a 2nd eye on things + polishing up...

     

    -Communication has always been our weakness, but we are able to rally like we did many years ago in dire times.

    (I'm sure forums will get a revamp soon)

     

    -In the meantime. Get to know site analytics and how ads, ranking and site visibility works.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

     

    We just need to rally and press on.

    There are 10+ posts per day coming through from a variety of people which is much better than it was 6 months ago.

     

    Yeah a partner in crime for polishing up could be cool. I'm no designer but am not 100% happy with the design. I would have it darker & more minimal but I'm not sure if that's the right direction. I mostly work with graphic designers & just code so it's not really my thing to come up with cool designs.

     

    I'd like to do is enhance the User pages to do a bunch of things eg.

    - show any links & a bio on your page

    - see a user's previous posts more easily from their page

    - leave comments on a user's page

     

    I made a start on the 'previous posts' part, thinking it might be easy but it's not at all unfortunately. It's all tucked away in crazy Drupalness (this is the only site I've worked on in Drupal). I'll have another whack at it at some point.

     

    As for communicatin, Nakey suggested that we start a new thread & kill this one, now that the site is pretty stable. The new thread could be more focussed on where to take it from here.

    How long have we been without a new image gallery? Maybe you can help lighten the load and do it too? You got my vote on that idea if the other admins don't object.

    Hi all, nakey here!

    Well this is quite the scroll and so colourful with pretty pictures, gifs and light hearted banter. However it’s getting a little long and i think it’s time to bring this to an end. Fear not the content will remain, you just won’t be able to add anything after this and look there to the right! A new announcement!

    Yes behold nationals a new sandpit that’s piss free. Always remember that together we can change that.

    Go, play.
