Various Forum Changes / Updates / Additions

[Gben 20]

Only a mod/admin can mark a post as solved. The option is there to allow the topic starter to do it but I think it should a forum staff job.

 

I like the direction, but I think the topic starter should have the ability to mark it solved/best answer - even though I understand why this is not enabled. If a dude asks a specific question he should have a say on whether his issue is specifically resolved - and it would be cumbersome for him to request a mod to say mark such-and-such post as best answer.

There are very few topics to marked as solved, it's been enabled in the Tech Support forum for a long time, so I don't see it being a real problem. At least not right now.

[Gben 20]

I understand your point of view... it just might lead to more activity for the tech forums.

[Sonic 295]

Made some minor changes to the profile fields for your Command & Conquer Profile. Mostly to reflect the differences between C&C: Online and XWIS.

[Sonic 295]

Fixed a CSS bug the prevented bold text from displaying in new or edited posts.

[Sonic 295]

You can now display the name you use for Renegade X online as part of your Command & Conquer Profile on your profile page.

Very nice, updated mine

[Sonic 295]

Added a new sub forum for Renegade - http://forums.cncnz.com/forum/114-renegade-x/

[PurpleGaga27 40]

At least that's something you guys need for now, a Renegade-X discussion forum.

 

As for Status Updates, I still post a lot of shoutbox messages, until now.

[Sonic 295]

The BBCode help button for the Shoutbox doesn't seem to work or display anything right now. BBCode can be used in the Shoutbox though.

 

I can't figure out how to fix this to be honest.

Any chance to embed Facebook videos like those (I really want to post those latest Joe Kucan videos):

So much for an ageless Kucan :\

[PurpleGaga27 40]

Sonic, if you are reading this, please support embedded videos such as Dailymotion, Metacafe, Google+ and Facebook.

I found a tutorial on how to enable embed Dailymotion videos: http://invisionmodding.com/tutorials/article/406-dailymotion-video

Yes they can be added to the media tag. I'll look into as soon as I can. Just spending less time on the computer in recent weeks.

[Sonic 295]

I have done Media tag embed codes for Dailymotion and Metacafe. For these new ones you have to use the embed links, not the share links.

 

Can't do anything for Google+ and Facebook videos. I can't find samples of the actual video embedding code. Besides, you can probably find most videos uploaded to YouTube anyway.

[PurpleGaga27 40]

I tried embedded this Dailymotion video, it doesn't work:

Not even this: [dailymotion]x1vd2r[/dailymotion]

http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1vd2r

 

http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1vd2r

 

 

You have to use the part after the src= tag and add "http:" on top of it.

 

<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1vd2r" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1vd2r_belinda-carlisle-circle-in-the-sand_music" target="_blank">Belinda Carlisle - Circle In The Sand</a> <i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/jpdc11" target="_blank">jpdc11</a></i>

[Sonic 295]

Not even this: [dailymotion]x1vd2r[/dailymotion]

 

Codes like that will never work. Its all centralised under the Media tag. As @Plokite_Wolf said you need the find the SRC URL from the embed codes on these sites, once you have them just click on the Media icon and paste the link into the Media URL box.

 

For Dailymotion: (must add an http: at the start)

<iframe frameborder="0" width="560" height="315" src="//www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1yjbg2" allowfullscreen></iframe>

http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x1yjbg2

 

For Metacafe:

<iframe src="http://www.metacafe.com/embed/11389251/" width="540" height="304" allowFullScreen frameborder=0></iframe>

New forum created for The Ultimate Collection and The First Decade http://forums.cncnz.com/forum/115-the-ultimate-collection-the-first-decade/

[PurpleGaga27 40]

One thing has changed Sonic, and I don't know what it specifically is, users cannot see the latest post/thread on that forum section when logged off, except when logged in.

[Sonic 295]

Are you talking about the newly created forum for The Ultimate Collection and The First Decade specifically or the forum as a whole?

 

I just checked all the permissions for the new The Ultimate Collection and The First Decade forum and made one change. Its set-up exactly like all other forums.

As a whole forum. That's what I am seeing lately.

[Sonic 295]

I know what you mean. For some reason if you are logged out you don't see this....

 

 

It used to be there. I've gone over the forum settings and permissions. Can't figure why just yet.

[Sonic 295]

Found and fixed the problem causing guests or logged out users from seeing the "Last info" on the forum index.

[Sonic 295]

Some forum order changes. The Hosted Projects section has been moved to the end of the main index. The TibEd.Net Forums have been merged in to the Hosted Projects section. Also take not of the fact that the Command & Conquer Legos / Tiberium Legos, Tiberium Chronicles RPG Project and YR: Generals Mod have been archived, they are still open but work on these projects has ceased development.
