C:DDA Issue Voting Machine - test drive

[dRbiG]

One of the options “V-menu sort fixes” (it’s a PR, if that matters), appears to currently have -1 votes.

Yeah, the votes are Reddit-like, including negative scores. You can always click the looking glass for the ‘math’ and votes themselves.

when at a tab other than the “all”, vote action automatically takes me back to the “all” tab, besides accepting my vote. (removes selected filtering)

linux 3.18, firefox.

PS. sorting by score would be a useful feature.

Indeed. Already fixed in the current dev version. It will also scroll so that the issue you’ve voted for is visible. Very much appreciate a proper bug report!

Apropos sorting:
The top and bottom pages do the by score sorting. All and closed pages do the by date sorting. I imagined a fancy JS front-end where you can sort by any header in the browser, though I’m unlikely to implement it.

I’ve also implemented user data updating, tweaks to user page (you see all your votes), minor fixes here and there, and I have a basic model for the email account verification in place, as it turns out I’ll need to write the whole thing on my own.

I have also some additional ideas that I’m likely to implement.

Or a way to filter the types. If you could include some other data from the git that could help as well. A PR that’s 3 months old could be understood that it needs some attention to get finished VS one opened yesterday that has an active owner.

I think I’ll use GitHub icons in the column where the looking glass is to indicate whether it’s a PR or an issue. That way people who understand the difference can spot it quickly, and the rest doesn’t get bothered with too much data. The date of opening is right next to it so it should help weed out those ‘needs attention’ PRs/issues etc.

I’ll look into some simple filtering. Issues/PRs; then maybe some filter for ‘old outstanding’ stuff e.g. anything that’s still open but hasn’t been updated in a week (month?).

Thanks for feedback.

Looks really nice. Here my observations:

You can register with the samen name if it has a different casing. eg. OzoneH3 and ozoneh3.

The login should not require the exact name casing.

Voting the same issue up/down twice removes the vote, could be intended though?!

You can vote on multiple issues, if you click fast, before the page refreshes.

We’re so used to the case-insensitive logins we had gotten desensitized to the case I’ll probably give in and downcase it otherwise some people will inevitably be confused.

Yes. You can ‘unvote’ in case you change your mind. Voting arrows work like on Reddit.

You can vote on multiple issues, if you click fast, before the page refreshes.

Hmm… as in ‘it doesn’t refresh fast enough’? Well, told ya it gonna be slow.

In the meantime I’ve got the email account activation done, proper redirects, db sync/cleanup logic in place, more issue details (pr vs issue, when updated). I think I’ll replace the demo with a newer version sometime today/evening-ish (CET timezone).

[dRbiG]

I’m not sure how the forums work, so I’m posting here to to bump: new version is online, more info in the first post (edited).

Quick note: You’ll need to register again, please use a working email.

the revolution has to start somewhere!!

[dRbiG]

Newest version is in. More serious now - read http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=9551#msg217865.

[Mattamue]

Looking good. Just needs some time to grow.

[kevin.granade]

That’s looking really great, should I post an official call for voting in the announcements board, or would you rather I wait until the domain etc is sorted out?

[StopSignal]

That looks pretty good! I will try to be there sometimes.

[dRbiG]

Yeah, let’s wait with that until I get a proper hosting and domain, so it doesn’t choke when people actually come to register & vote. I hope to get this done during this week.

[dRbiG]

One more note: the database is stable, so hopefully everything will be carried to the properly hosted version.

My todo items (user-visible things only) are now only cosmetic:

[ul][li]Show user’s votes in the same format as on the main pages[/li]
[li]Move logout button to user’s profile page[/li]
[li]Add a link/button for bug reporting[/li][/ul]

Also I’m looking for hosting, strong preference for a box that I can SSH to and fix/check stuff live. This needs Ruby >= 2.x, bunch of gems (some may need compiling), and some DB back-end (sqlite or ‘better’). It’s standalone as it gets. The target domain for this is iv.cataclysmdda.com

I’ll start bothering my friendly admins this week to see where it can be put with least effort.

[dRbiG]

Just got it hosted: http://178.217.184.42:8111/all

I’m awaiting official domain and it’ll be up for ‘official launch’.

All user accounts, votes etc. have been carried over, you’ll just need to login due to IP change.

Bumping with:

Official URL: http://iv.cataclysmdda.com:8111

[jcd]

Since this is working now, i’d think it needs a bit more advertisment and integration. Bump!

[Mattamue]

I did my civic duty!

Posted a sticky on the announcements board, planning on putting a mention in the 0.C release.
