Multi File Upload Flash Button Fix
Category: estrip
It works again. You are welcome IE and Safari users losers.
metalpeter - 07/14/11 17:03
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 - 07/14/11 00:40
I've seen the little +1 icons around but I don't think that constitutes sharing?

ah... the google does not fail: :::link:::
tinypliny - 07/14/11 00:33
That's a LOT of code! and a LOT of time!
tinypliny - 07/14/11 00:33
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 - 07/13/11 18:25
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 - 07/13/11 17:38
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 - 07/13/11 17:34
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 - 07/13/11 12:04
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 - 07/13/11 12:00
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 - 07/13/11 11:46
Heh, I just used. I kind of like it. All your hard work last night was totally worth it. thanks :-)

yours gratefully losing,
TP

paul - 04/24/11 23:17
One other change: You can update blogs over 1 month old again.
paul - 04/24/11 17:52
They should. I show up on it and I am coming from the mobile site.
tinypliny - 04/24/11 14:18
So people browsing on mobile platforms don't appear on the members online list?
paul - 04/24/11 13:47
It goes away after five minutes I think. Now we just need more authors. It might be a lost cause in a post Facebook age.
tinypliny - 04/24/11 13:41
Why log out at all... it seems like a waste of time. I am going to try not logging out at all and simply close the tab. What is the time out period before my icon vanishes?
tinypliny - 04/24/11 13:32
It just keeps getting better and better. :)
uncutsaniflush - 04/24/11 09:28
Thanks for all the hard work.

I think that number 2 will be very useful to lots of people including myself.

Blog Protection
Category: updates
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.
tinypliny - 01/29/11 03:25
I do that all the time - but thankfully have lazarus that saves every little sneeze.

Lists
Category: estrip
Typing:

*apple
*banana
*strawberry


Will make a bulleted list
  • apple
  • banana
  • strawberry

Typing:

#apple
#banana
#strawberry


Will make a numbered list
  1. apple
  2. banana
  3. strawberry

There is no nesting with list types
metalpeter - 12/31/10 15:58
Thanks I will have to try that some time not sure what nesting or no nesting but since I don't know what it is that not having it shouldn't matter.....
