Jooel, Is it possible to have BBChecker not launch a second session of it? Or, prompt for it? Just noticed that BBChecker can start a second instance.. Kent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
umm... by itself? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Just noticed that when I was in BBChecker I mistakenly started a second instance of it.. Not a big deal.. Just thought it could be a point of confusion. Kent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
eh, that can be fixed. it's minor error in 1.4 as you probably have seen. I'll add it in todo-list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
can't think of actually anymore any good way of doing that... with some file or something but that means that it should always end gracefully which is not possible. thought of little wmi stuff against process exe path, no go. it shows up empty... so, if you find good way for it, tell me and I'll implement. btw, updating parse.udf and bbcheckerII.kix one gets to newist 1.4.10 which should have got rid of those errors on start up and occassionally on runtime... place is ofcourse the same old: http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/scripts/bbChecker/sources/current/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
kent, from the same location you get bbchecker 1.4.11 only change from 1.4.10: Does not open new instance if currently running one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
My 1.4.11 does.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
does it? try again |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
It does, but the code does a check to see if there is already a session started. If so, it terminates it. Kent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
good enough? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I think so.. It fulfills the "confusion aspect" of this. Kent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
If I start it two times, then to ged rid of it I've got to press exit two times... So two checkers??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
pat, wait a sec |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
knock-knock can i join this chat ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
* Knock Knock Who's there??? - Hatch * Hatch who? - Bless you!!! Shawn, welcome on board... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
ok, two things. pat, it can be avoided with just setfocus (only way to see if it really is bbchecker) I currently scan all the topics, and if any of them match with the setfocus, quit. trying to match against bbchecker can't be done as even though it is not visible, kix says setfocus is succesfull... {edit} forgot the second one. shawn, come on and join. it's free.

|
|
|||||||
so, where is my insert? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
1.4.12 does not matter how many times you click, won't open there is init-delay of about 1 sec for the logic to catch, but anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Jooel, In the Show History pane, maybe you could add a 'Delete History' button so that I don't have to exit / re-launch to clear it. Also, in the credits, you spelled Ruud's name with a capital V but I see him spelling it with a lowercase v. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Like I quessed, somewhere happened a clock check. about 25 minutes change! (broven by the two above posts. the earlier is marked later ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Tonight's the night for Daylight Saving Time rollover. I think you just caught a glimpse of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
weird that the board didn't change like immediately... but in parts... or then, my internal clock failed on that one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Jooel, Multiple startup problem is gone... Thanks Hmm, read your other post on cookies and xmlhttp... Why not store the username in the reg after 1 successfull retrieval??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
mm... not a bad idea. also, everyone experiencing problems with startup could try the newist parser which should remove the crash. it should not work properly though but crash can be avoided with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Hmmm... bombed... Script error: array reference out of bounds! If $my AND $post[1]=$btl.caption |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
seen that... did 1,5 hours ago the same thing to me. only array on that line is the post-var. and if it is out of bounds, IE was unable to get forum main page. it occassionally does that and dunno, short net outage or something... have to see if I can do something to parse udf to avoid that too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
waiting for next release of kixforms. would like to add a choice for collected history (like in today's topics. only the last reply on same topic shown) which would keep the history from overflowing. also need it to turn around the listview from top-to-bottom to bottom-to-top order. also, updated the parser with a "fix" to the crash condition les told. can't be sure does it help before we see the results. {edit} name correction [ 29.

|
|||||||
Well, if I can't have my "Clear History" button, could I have history items change colour so I know that I viewed them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
les, I've been thinking of the clear and currently it's possible... lot to code but available. I just wonder where I stick the trash button? or should I remove the open topic button? the clear is not bad thing as I often restart my checker just for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
You could put it bottom centre between Misc and Buddies. Maybe it should be a "Clear All" and clear the current topic as well so that it looks the same as when you launch BBChecker. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Jooel, you mentioned the next release of kixforms, what is it your looking to do ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I think Shawn's up to his old tricks. He's either logged out and lurking as a guest or it's another hit-and-run post. Funny when you look at the MRU on this thread he doesn't even show. http://www.kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=pntf;f=13;t=000365 In the past 30 minutes, 3 people have visited BBChecker - 1.4 (The next generation) LLigetfa, Lonkero, and 1 guests. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
yep. and as such, he can't even use my checker as it's based after 1.3.3 on the fact that user is logged on. shawn, I understood that my request was that insert (as topmost item)... don't remember anymore the others. ofcourse waiting on RichTextListView but there is no hurry on that one. anyway, without the insert, won't package checker nor "release" it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The insert is there, was implemented in the last release. $ListView.Items.Insert(index,item) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
eh? how did I miss that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
shawn, can I remove border from button? making it flat gives me the black border... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
How you making it flat ? BorderStyle = 2 ? Appearance = 0 ? It just might be that the button is selected or is the default button for the form ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
appearance = 0 doesnt the borderstyle=2 give a border too? well, it's not big deal after I get use to it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Les, did that clear history. you will need the trash.ico too... going for next update... {edit} somehow it now shows when going for $m.doevents(1) "this type of array not supported in expressions" ? [ 29. October 2002, 03:23: Message edited by: Lonkero ] |

|
|
|||||||
ok, found it. 1.4.15 changelog: bug fix for clear ruuds name corrected |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Got it. Just needed to replace the two files with today's date, right? Found the trashcan in the "Show History" view. I thought it was going to be on the main page. Are you saving that space between Miscellaneous and Show Buddies for something special? Oh, is there an easy way to hide it from the TaskBar? Now I just need a few posts to see how this puppy runs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I was waiting for the same thing. I have all things up and running under name of 1.5 beta 1 just not sure of the slider and little cautios about the errors... hide from taskbar, is it good? how you would access it then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Didn't really think it through. Not the form, just the icon on the taskbar. When the posts come faster than I can read they stack up on my taskbar. When I'm done reading them I right-click them on the taskbar and close them. I oftem find myself accidentally closing BBChecker as well. I think what confuses me (I'm easily confused ) is that the BBChecker icon takes on the title of the last KiX forum topic opened. How come when you 'Show Topic' on a history item the form minimizes to the taskbar but when you click the topmost item (in the grey section) it doesn't? Why not just leave the form up, I mean why minimize from the history? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
it has to be... if it's not minimized, it will stay on the ie-window and that will start to blink in the taskbar. it was so annoying that I had to do that... almost loosed my mind with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
So why doesn't the topmost link do that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
topmost? you mean the slider? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
No, I have the slider disabled because of the bug. I'm talking about the most recent topic that shows on the grey portion of the form just above the buttons. The one you can single-click to launch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
oh... well, the difference is that it is $form.hyperlink whereas clicking buttons and doubleclicking the history entry are onclick events. they fire up ie. I'm not certain what is the difference in the call, but outcome is different anyway. it might be that shawn uses ie com or dde on that... haven't found a workaround for it but I'm open for suggestions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
oh, and btw... 1.5 beta 1 is avail for download at: http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/scripts/bbChecker/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
What if you made the list items in the history view all as $form.hyperlink instead. Could you then also change the colour after they are clicked so you know you've been there? Pardon my ignorance as I haven't learned KiXForms yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I wish, I wish... can't use listbox or listview as collection of objects. if it would be possible, I would have made changes already. own posts different color, visited different... just to note, I'm running currently beta1 with slider on. been on for 26 mins and no crash and, dunno what it is but I'm starting to feel a little exchausted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

Very nice ! |

|
|
|||||||
Running the new code BBCheckerII_1.5_beta1. So far so good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
the last post didn't make it to the History window. the slider from the top - can we get a border so that we can move the app to a location of our choice?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I just got both your posts there Howard ... no problems ... funny - noticed that the slider even appears even over top of my Windows screen saver ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
mmm... have to think how much my head can take this... so, what's about a move button or border setting on misc? if the post does not show up in history, all I can think of that there is old version of forms and that may not be as if you ran that package it upgrades it too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Misc. window get lost and then only beeps when clicked on. Can't get rid of it. Still no history. Close bbChecker and window remains. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Can't KILL WKIX32.exe from task manager either I guess I'm stuck with the Misc window until I reboot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
nope. havent heard of the warm handshake? from your starmenu->run execute: kill wkix32 -f works fine. that is the only reason I installed reskit on my system |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
My Hero! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Just had the misc option window come up disabled for some reason ... beeps when clicked on - have to kill process. Might want to check into that piece of your script ... Is that the same error you just had hoby ? [ 29. October 2002, 05:27: Message edited by: Shawn ] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
let me see... yes, 2.1.0.34 was the version... could you do some testing for me? un-register the kixforms.dll and re-register it. check also it's fileversion on your system32. I have bad feeling that there is something going on with old kixforms version. after the rapid click was enabled I have had n... well, I have actually... next time, when it happens just re-press the misc button on mainform. you may need to minimize&restore it even 2 times but at some point the misc-form starts to respond. have no clue what has caused that but quess the doevents(1) has something to do with it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Reinstall from BBCheckerII_1.5_beta1.exe Kixfroms version 2.1.1.35 is installed. The History populated on Shawn's post and your post {edit} Yes, Shawn that was the behavior. I could then set focus to it, but to no avail. [ 29. October 2002, 05:29: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ] |

Lonkero, are you limited by a width restriction for topic? Could the whole topic be put into the field? If so then we could resize the column to see more. [ 29. October 2002, 05:32: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
How about a feature whereby if I select an item from the listview, then click a button, checker will actually go out and pull in the text of the message, then present it in a little textbox dialog (that can be converted to richtext down the road ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Would it be less traffic and overhead just to collect the full text one time and stuff it in the field? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I quess you mean the title as putting 1Mb in one field might be too much I just ran to some width problems before I knew how to manipulate slider size by the size of font*length of string. also listbox width had to be limited and this was the best way. thus, worked it around by simply taking from line: code:the shorter link... and thought it would be more suitable... but actually, now as I think of it, I have no reasons to keep it that way.

well, I've been taking a lot vacations lately and truly not by free will. our company just is so small (only ~250 workers) that there is no need for fulltime system specialist... what comes to shawn's suggestion of the box... I should indeed have at least one page of an topic in that box... I thought it at the time of 1.1 when had a fantasy of integrating the codeparser into checker. it's not hard but requires some more hours of work though. and what comes to hoby's thing of getting the stuff and having it "around" for possible usage? did I understand right? if so where would I store it? as far as I know, ppl have limited capacity of virtual mem and hd space... one thought that still is in my dreams is to have a scanner on all forums simultaneously instead of the mainpage. this way success process on huge update gaps would increase to 100% also, one dream is to write the PM's and receive them with checker... e-mail with CDO is also a possibility, but then again, where do I draw the line. I know that already les is suffering the bandwidth exchaustiveness of the new features. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Was it already mentioned that BBChecker wont start if you try to "sign-on" to the board after tossing your cookies (before actually loging-in) ... ??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
...eh? didn't get the timeline out of your question but as far as I know, it should not work "correctly" if th user is not logged in at the time of start. haven't tested what happens then though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
No problem Lonkero. My thought was that you brought back title="BBChecker - 1.4 (The next generation)" but then chopped it for display. I thought that my suggestion would have been less code. Just use the entire title and cover part of it by keeping the column width shorter as it is. You have done great work here and I find it quite acceptable as is. It makes keeping up with the board very easy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I surely should know that remember the times I actually started with this. post count of 800 last spring... uh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Jooel - yeah, what you said - thats what I meant ... might want to put some logic around that, the script throws a syntax error. Howard, agreed - its hard to believe this program is actually a kixtart script. |

I always wanted to ask...Why does the app minimize everytime I use a button? The user (read lazy me) has to then maximize it before anything else can be done? [ 29. October 2002, 06:04: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ] |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
shawn, I actually wrote fix for that already. and dunno why kix does that. parser returns: $parse=""+$users,""+left($data,instr($data,'<')-1) in pure english, even though it's not able to retrieve the data, it still returns an array. but no. it crashes. I have no clue whatsoever how it can be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
ok. QF for the parser is found in: http://www.gwspikval.com/jooel/scripts/bbChecker/sources/current/ just need to make some sorta re query if info retrieve failed... in the update maybe... {edit} another fix. now changed the checker code too. if not logged on currently, once logging in, gets the info. looks even nice on a slow connection I don't suggest lurking logged of with checker running as it will check every time if my_profile is avail... 10k of error message... well, les is at least affected. once again.

|

patrick, yes. just remember to rename or copy it to different folder before installation as it just overwrites without asking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Tried it and it works... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I got one array ref out of bounds from update() have to see if it will come back. fixes done for beta2, but was thinking about adding one weird feature... will see if it is possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Running the beta for 20 minutes now New feature? Is the "remember username" thingie in it already, or is it this fix: quote:With what post did you get the parse error??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'm starting to get the now all the time. going for coffee. the reason for me to get the and not you is that I have never sources. I was to change the topic name back to full length but now it seems to crack something. that still isn't an error in checker code but in parser... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
found the error. if there is short topic title, it does not have title field at all... will have to see... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
pat. if ye still have it running you will probably notice this. I "fixed" the parser enchangement pack and uploaded all current files. if I get 4-5 success posts, will package them as beta 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
ok. new try, that one was cropped. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
yep, beta2 out there somewhere and seems to even work... hoby, thought about that border thing and maybe will even do some sorta fake move thing. I don't want to give you borders as I would need to rewrite every control positioning, but... I'll see what I can do. I already have one test script running pretty nicely... |

|
|||||||
hoby, Have you installed the beta2? the main fix/change between beta 1 and 2 was that I finally got the error condition fixed. you can generate the error easily again by logging of. if running beta2 it handles those situations correctly. try it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Don't you install the version of WKIX32 that you desire in the installation package? I have 4.12b2 available but thought you took care of it. The WKIX32 file in the bbchecker directory has the same time/date stamp as the one in my 4.12_b2 directory. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Jooel, Looks good.. Thanks, Kent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
hoby, and what is your checker version? beta1 was shipped with 4.12 beta2 and beta2 with rc1. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
; BBChecker II - KiXtart Bulleting Board New Post Checker ; ; Dependencies: ; Wkix32 - GUIfriendly KiXtart 4.12 ; kixforms.dll - KiXForms 2.1.1 ; IE5 Dated 2002/10/29 Installed from BBCheckerII_1.5_beta1.exe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
yep. you have so old version if you install beta2 all your troubles are gone... btw, misc gives more accurate info than the bbchecker.kix itself. |

kent, actually, the dependency has not actually been changed so much. last real dep update was when turned to 2.1 with listview. the one before that was ie instead of winhttp... I just want to keep the files up to date. checker should work just fine with kix over 4.10 rc2 at the time of writing this got an error: " Script error: array reference out of bounds! $item.subitems(1).text=$post[1] " so, the parser is still not bullet proof... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
The Listview for TOPIC now works as I would expect - displaying the entire subject of the thread. Was this always like that in this version or did you change the functionality while I slept? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
didn't I say so... when you said you go to bed, I said go so I can work. and if I remember correctly, it was you who wanted that. afterall, it was more complex than I thought and took 1 hour to make those bloody 7 lines to work. anyway, if it's ok, good.

|
|
|||||||
long? with only 5 pages? this ain't long. will see on that. making my "release" is pretty close so don't want to make separate topic for just the beta. anyhow, anyway, there is still something wrong in parser as get that same error from time to time |
