Congratulations ThomThom!
Good luck for the new job.
So now you will wear two different hats? (SU and SCF)

Gábor

Thank you for the download link. I'll try it out for sure.

Gábor

Great news. Where is it downloadable from?

After changing several PMs with Box we identified the problem that it was with the URLs containing subdomains. The subdomain system is obsolete at SketchUcation since we set up the new site. However after the switchover to the new site we set up redirects for these subdomain URLs but the usage of them is contraindicated. So a link to this topic correctly is:

sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=53554

not the old URL what would be:

forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=53554

However both works but the usage of the first is recommended as the second one is a redirected URL.

Thank you to everybody for their contribution in this topic and the PMs.

It looks like the site has a DNS error again, FF and Chrome are both redirecting shortcuts.

I checked the DNS settings and checked the DNS records and from here (Ireland) it seems to be OK. Could you please tell if the problem still exists or not and exactly what is the phenomena? If it is still exists please PM me what georgraphical location you are at and what is your ISP? It might be the problem is with the ISP's DNS server.

At a more advanced level maybe this series of books also could be useful:

Yes I see them now in my Spam folder.

Thank you very much for checking it. I have to admit that I don't really know why it lands in the spam folder of some email clients. I will investigate and if there is a solution for that at server-side I'll do that.

Until then I'm sure a filter or whitelist setting at your side will help to receive them to the right folder,

mwm5053: Please let me know if there are any changes on receving SCF mails today. I checked the server's mail system and I'm pretty sure that the mails are sent out. The funny thing is that during the checks even I realized that some SCF mail addresses were filtered out (not forwarded to my personal box) from my mailbox due to some filter settings I made several times ago and I forgot about them.

Gábor

mwm5053: Thank you for the information. Are you using gmail to receive the mails? Today morning I made some modifications on the outgoing mail settings let's hope it helps. If not then probably we need to make some tests with your mail address to see exactly what is happening and why you are not receving the mails. So if even today you won't receive any mails what you think you should receive then I'll send you some test mails from the server and trace them.

Krisidious: Thank you for the information. So you receive the mails but gmail puts them into your Spam folder. Please set up a filter in your gmail mailbox for the SCF mails to be delivered into the folder you want to have them.

Gábor

Could you please check your Spam folder as well? Since when haven't you receive the mails? Could you tell me when the last mail was received?

The outgoing mail address changed about a week ago. Is there a possibility that a filter is set to that address? (I have had a filter for noreply@sketchucation.com and now that the mail address changed back to it, first I couldn't find my mails until I realized that I have a filter set to that address.)

Gábor

If you're on a corporate network, it also could be the case that company firewall restricts the access to the ads.

Gábor

Don't forget to urlencode/urldecode the variable if it contains special characters...

...could you pleas post small code example ?

A possible exampele for myfile.php:


<?php if(isset($_GET['v'])) ; ?>
	The variable; <?php echo $_GET['v']; ?>
<?php else ; ?>
<html>
	<head>
		<script type="text/javascipt">
			var v=[ your function to get the ruby variables ];
			function myredirect() {
				window.location='http://myserver.com/myfile.php?v=' + v;
			}
			window.onload=myredirect();
		</sript>
	</head>
	<body>
	</body>
</html>
<?php endif; ?>

Gábor

There is an other possible hack - however more complicated - to use GET variables instead of POST:

You open index.php in your webdialog.
index.php contains the Javascript to get the Ruby variables
You make a Javascript redirect with the variables appended to the URL as GET variables.
You have the GET variables available at the .php side.

Not a usual solution but works.

It would be nice if the different fields can be combined for a search:

Thank you Cotty, a good suggestion. We will put it on our "to do" list and will realize it after we are ready with the area for Plugin Developers.

Gábor

Done.

Here's your one-liner:

UI.toolbar("Reload").add_item(UI::Command.new("Reload"){load "myplugin.rb"}).show

Thank you for the improved version.

Gábor

IMO this one-liner is excellent for entering the load 'myscript.rb' command. Where myscript.rb is edited with a synax highlighting multiline text editor.

...it broke the plugin-checker-plugin...

Hi Pyroluna,

You mean the plugin checker in LibFredo6? I checked the URLs hardcoded in the latest version and to me it seems that they are pointing to the right places at the new site. Also Fredo6 states at the release notes section at http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17947#p144178 :

"LibFredo6 4.6e – 03 Oct 12: Minor release to fix a problem in Check for Updates, due to change of URL scheme of the new Sketchucation web site. Version 4.6d had a problem."

So it seems to me that if there were any problems with the URLs they were already corrected in the latest relase by Fredo6. Or you refer to some other plugin-checker-plugin? If yes, please specify exatly which plugin.

Best regards, Gábor

Gábor

The initial SCF site load is slightly longer than that of a SCF page-change or page-refresh

Yes, the CMS part is slightly slower (max. 5-6 secs for the largest page load there for me) that is because caching there still needs to be fine-tuned. I'm sure it will be done in the near future and it will result similar page load times what we have at the forums now (not to speak about lower server load as a result).
