Multi File Upload Flash Button Fix

It works again. You are welcome IE and Safari ~~users~~ losers.

metalpeter writes at 05:03:24 07/14/11 - Comment #63585: Recently some stories or pictures I hit like on have had the google+ symbol but I don't know if that makes a link to that page and ads a picture or if it gives it a tittle or if it tells google+ that it is an interest so.... I think all you tech people should check it out.....

heidi writes at 12:40:51 07/14/11 - Comment #63569: I've seen the little +1 icons around but I don't think that constitutes sharing?

ah... the google does not fail: :::link:::

tinypliny writes at 12:33:49 07/14/11 - Comment #63568: That's a LOT of code! and a LOT of time!

tinypliny writes at 12:33:16 07/14/11 - Comment #63567: That is one huge mass of code... I now get why you weren't so keen to give up in spite of my devious arguments.

paul writes at 06:25:32 07/13/11 - Comment #63562: Wow, what a turn around (e:tinypliny). You were all rip it out and trash it last night, lol. You have no idea how complicated the whole thing is. To through it out would have been such a defeat.

I had to wrote the actionscript code a couple years back to make the button. Then there is a javascript api that calls that. Then there is the backend and the drama we dealt with last night with the drag/drop vs flash upload data properties.

Here is the actionscript source :::link::: and :::link:::

And here is the javascript part that talks to it :::link:::

And here is how you would use it :::link:::

(e:heidi) I can make the comments and posts that mention a peep copy to them. I must have missed that before. As for the google plus thing, I will have to look into it if I ever go back. Do they have a share api like facebook and twitter have on estrip?

metalpeter writes at 05:38:48 07/13/11 - Comment #63560: That being said.... I wish I had a way to post something to both here and facebook with out posting here and then linking it to facebook... There are thing on here that have no reason and that shouldn't be on facebook so sharing means some of those could be on there..... I don't think this is a facebook, (e:strip), Twitter thing I think it is tech end thing that .... There isn't like a program where you like grab you data (pictures or what ever) compose it and it posts it everywhere.....

metalpeter writes at 05:34:42 07/13/11 - Comment #63559: I wish I had time to find someone cool to send me an invite to Google+ not that I even have gmail but that being said I would never have the time to use that and facebook and there are (yes a lot of no good evil things and people I follow on facebook) so don't think I want to really try google+ wish I had the time for both

tinypliny writes at 12:04:53 07/13/11 - Comment #63554: Actually I used it on chrome. It's pretty handy and I realized that I have missed this feature now that it has come back. :)

heidi writes at 12:00:58 07/13/11 - Comment #63553: Dear (e:news),

Thank you for fixing this functionality (that I would never use b/c IE sucks and Safari is superfluous) and the link color.

Now that g+ is a player, I want to be able to post stuff to (e:strip) and g+ at the same time. And I want (e:strip) posts and comments that mention an (e:peep) to notify the (e:peep). That's all. ;-)

tinypliny writes at 11:46:04 07/13/11 - Comment #63552: Heh, I just used. I kind of like it. All your hard work last night was totally worth it. thanks :-)

yours gratefully losing,
TP

Blog Protection

This might be helpful for those of you that type an entry and then accidentally refresh the page or click the back button before publishing. The site will now prompt you to make sure you want to leave.

The restore backup system is also still there, this is just an extra safeguard. You can test it by typing something in the blog publish box and then hitting the refresh button before publishing.

Bye, Bye Africa

Call me continentalist but I refuse to deal with spam from abroad getting in my estrip message box. I was going to just block just the one ip and then I figured why not just senegal then why not just most of the continent. I mean seriously Good Day Sir to you too.

I had previously blocked Germany, France, China, Indonesia, and Russia for the same reasons. Usually, the spammers just give up eventually.

metalpeter writes at 04:11:22 10/30/10 - Comment #59098: Skipping the stripteasers as they won't let you take bottles into a bar plus guessing they won't hit the stage till late....Not going as the nude bikers but I'm going as someone who depending on your stance is evil but winds up kinda good in the end or maybe he isn't evil but is just used, sorry I forget his exact name but since I can't do Spartacus I went with another starz show....

uncutsaniflush writes at 10:33:31 10/29/10 - Comment #59089: Alas, like (e:leetee), I work Satday night til 9 or 10 pm and I have to be back at work at 6 am.

I'm going to try to make an appearance if all goes well with work.

I reckon that if I show up, I'll come as "the man who wasn't there"

tinypliny writes at 08:34:25 10/29/10 - Comment #59074: I ran into the glamorous duo quite randomly a while back, rolling out of Cozumel.
:-)

I am always somewhat surprised that (e:peeps) (non-roswell ones) actually exist in the flesh. heh

mrmike writes at 10:51:24 10/28/10 - Comment #59071: Both Ho sisters in one locale? quite the draw, but the cursed responsibilities of parenthood prevent me from making the party. Have fun for me

metalpeter writes at 04:48:45 10/28/10 - Comment #59063: The Peterazzi will be there but I won't be Ha, Kidding... Have to divert some funds.... I was thinking about going as the Nude Bicyclist Ok I just want some chick to paint me up (may go to see the stripteasers 1st) not really going as the biker......

leetee writes at 12:13:06 10/28/10 - Comment #59061: I've been waiting for the announcement of when the party will be with my fingers crossed. Didn't work. It's on the one night it would be impossible for me to come. I work until 11pm on Saturday night and i have to be back to work by 7am the next day to do a 14 hour shift. Boo. Have fun everyone!!

Estrip Android App Location Update

The android app now also has a location button you can click to add your current location to the blog you are posting with it. I need to test with it some more, but I pushed the update out so you guys can test with it too if you want.

That and it allows you to move the app to the sdcard if you are running froyo.

You can hit the button multiple times to add new locations to one entry. Say for example on a walk.

Even better with android, you can use the default maps, navigation or lattitude app and share any place with your blog using the built in "share this place" mechanism. This copies more data including the place contact info and name.
