robbalvey Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Testing forum upload system with a reply. Track in Game Exchange
robbalvey Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Holy crap! The basic functionality actually seems to work! Need to add a few things to it, like showing the title and a screen shot in the forum post, but this actually fucking WORKS!!! Give it a try. Create a new topic or reply to this one and use the Game Exchange uploader in the forum! Edited March 9, 2011 by robbalvey
robbalvey Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Ok, here are some bugs I've sent to the developer regarding this and the admin panel log: 1. On the Game Exchange log, can it also track admin panel activity. 2. For the Game Exchange forum bridge, can the screen shots also appear in the forum post. 3. For the Game Exchange forum bridge, instead of it saying "Track in Game Exchange" can it say " In Game Exchange" 4. We need to make sure the "Game Exchange" tab only shows up in the following forum: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 5. Can the "description" also be added to the forum post. 6. In the Game Exchange forum bridge uploader, we need to have a "add the file" button like on the "post photos or files" tab. 7. We need the ability to be able to post more than one Game Exchange file per forum post, just like the "add photos or files" functionality.
QueerRudie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Testing the exchange uploader functionality- R.D. Track in Game Exchange
QueerRudie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 OK- track uploaded fine- but it balked on uploading the picture that went with it- But REALLY cool add on, I think- a huge time-savings overall- R.D.
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 I wonder why it didn't like the screen shot. Can you try to upload the same file again with the same screen shot?
QueerRudie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 K- that time it took it- I'm guessing it might have been an error on my end- R.D.
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Great to see. Besides those bugs and feature requests I posted already, can anyone think of anything else to add? --Robb
QueerRudie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Actually- yes: 1.) What about auto-linking the forum topic to the track uploader (i.e. so it will put the 'location' of the file topic automatically) 2.) How about being able to upload scenario files (.SC6) extensions to the exchange- no more zipping being the idea there, and a lot easier to move parks from RCT II- R.D.
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 ^ I'm not sure what you mean with #1, and with #2 can't we just add that extension in the admin panel?
QueerRudie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Testing upload of SC6 file extention Track in Game Exchange
QueerRudie Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Yup for #2- Done. We can now upload SC6 (Scenarios) directly to the exchange- As for #1- NM. It doesn't make sense anymore as it's a redundant thought. (Been a long day here) R.D.
A.J. Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) I think what QR meant by his first point was to automatically add the forum topic to the exchange file's page when it's attached here in the forum, instead of having the box to put the (optional) forum topic in. Edited March 10, 2011 by A.J.
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Some work was done on the uploader today. Can someone test to see what the changes were>?
QueerRudie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 The button below (TPR Game exchange) upload button is now missing- I did do a file upload- and I didn't see anything different (Unless it's my crappy eye-) R.D.
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 ^ Ahh. I see why. It's because it's only available in the games forum, not the moderators forum... 4. We need to make sure the "Game Exchange" tab only shows up in the following forum:http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3 Someone will have to do a test post in that forum....
QueerRudie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Done- the function works very well- and it does make sure you list what you're uploading (Track, park, etc) and game (RCT II, etc.) I did see where it tried to imbed a picture of the 'park' I uploaded- but it simply wrote out the code, and did not post the picture as (I think) was intended. R.D. Edited March 11, 2011 by QueerRudie
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 ^ Where did you upload it so I can point the developer to it?
QueerRudie Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47259&p=1011003#p1011003 it's in the Preview thread- saved as 'test' for deletion purposes- R.D. (I DO like the idea of a thumbnail/picture being posted with the uploaded file- )
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Can someone please test the uploader again. The developer said the images should now be working. --Robb
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 Oh, and we should be able to test in this forum again.
A.J. Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Testing... Test 2 in Game Exchange TEST Edited March 11, 2011 by A.J.
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 ^ Hmm... ok, I'd upload one in the main games forum now so I can let the developer see that images are still not working.
