Some fixes & changes
Hello everyone,
I just deployed my first fixes and changes on WTM and here is a summary (nothing fancy) :
- fixed awesome button showing solved shots when a tag is specify (even if "include solved shots" was unchecked)
- fixed awesome button showing our own shots (except if a tag is specify and you check include solved shots)
- fixed AUs always having a "hard" difficulty and then cannot be seen with the random button if easy/medium difficulty is checked
- fixed Scruffy shouts don't appear in your home page
- fixed a LOT of errors 500 in favmovies, favcharacters, search (not all), login, register, logout, accept friends...
- removed "about" when its hours ago (and added "ago" in last recent visits", don't important)
- added pagination to the user search & the tag search. Now you don't have to wait forever if you want to search shots with the tag "animation", it's paginate. See : http://whatthemovie.com/search?t=tag&q=animation
- User search is working like the movie search, if one result, it goes directly to the profile
- Admins & Mods shouts can't be deleted from now on your profile, unless It's Scruffy. There were too many people who deleted our shouts when we warn them
- Mentions in spoiler, other profile, contest page, movie page, review, are now handled in your home page and the # of Tales should be correct now
- Fixed "NaN" showing when an user doesn't have upload with favs
- Favmovies now choose the best rating shot in the DB not deleted and with AT LEAST 10 votes. If no one can be found, it takes the first not deleted (like before), and if there is no shot at all in the DB, a "no shot" image will appear on your favmovies page to handle the previous error 500 which was caused by a movie with no shots at all.
- User will be redirected to his rejected shots when he deletes one of them instead of a random shot. That was boring when you wanted to delete more than one shot at the same time, you needed to go back to the settings etc, now if you delete your own shot in the rejected shots section, you will be redirected there after deleting
- You can now login by pressing the "Enter" key in the password input instead of having to click to login everytime
- If a movie doesn't have archive shots BUT has title/end shot, they will appear on the movie page index and they are now counted in the "snapshots total" link. See : http://whatthemovie.com/movie/beowulf_grendel
- fixed Friendships go wrong when somebody (hey Pala!) wants his account back, it was because only friend requests sent were deleted when somebody deletes his account and not the "received" one also
- fixed wrong "days left" for WTM supporters, now you should have the correct number of days left before your subscription expires
- New page for movies with no title shot (just better look and correct URLs) : http://whatthemovie.com/page/titles
- Fixed your total solves number. Before, that was including archive shots where you requested the solution. Bad!
- Fixed friendship does not work when you try to accept one from an user with a "." in his username
- Deleted a LOT of duplicate movies or invisible dupes (movies sharing the same url) or foreign movies with weird urls
- some text fixes here and here
- Added a lock function for movies. I have already locked 129 movies. From now, you will see a lock image on the movie page if the movie is a short, or a tv movie, or a porn/racist movie etc and you won't be able to upload shots from these movies. See :
If you see any movie on WTM which is not locked and should be, please leave a shout on my profile about it and i'll add it to the locked movies.
Of course new fixes add new bugs so if you see new bugs, please tell me, but no requests for BIG features!
I have also to warn you, i added (and will add in a near future) a lot of features for the mods to see who is lowering every shot, who is changing his votes to make their shots go to the FF or to be a SOTD, who is voting every time 10 to a friend and who is not active a lot on the website, who has multi-accounts/same IP etc... So be careful, there gonna be more bans because mods can see a lot of things now. Be fair and remember, be original, if you want us to approve your shots, take movies with less than 10 uploads for example! We're actually talking about blocking for a long period (more than the actual seven-days blocking) movies with a lot of shots in the DB.
What i'm working on :
- new bugs and old bugs which are killing me (hello Vito)
- Supporter stats getting stuck randomly
- navigation with narrow keys in FF/archive
- add new covers for new movies
- Something about snapshot of the month/year
- New memorabilia for people who are contributing a lot (trailers, characters shot, end/title shots, alternative titles, abstracts etc)
- New Hall of fame with the return of Top Solvers All Of Time in parallel, Top Uploaders last month, Top Contest Solvers, Top Users by Bucks, Top First Solvers etc.. I have a lot of ideas, if you have some, tell me, i haven't decided yet
- Replacement allowed for character shots/titles shots and gain of time when uploading a character shot (activate the character, go to the upload page etc, too long!)
- Change password procedure
- A lock function for movies released in Theatres but unreleased YET on DVD/Blu-ray with a auto-unlock thing when the release date comes
- Shouting ban
- Buy AUs with your bucks (we need to talk about a lot of conditions for this one but we love the idea)
- More interaction with the outside (facebook/twitter), mobile version...
- Flag edit for movies
- And a lot of moderation stuff (SOTD moderation, tab in your profile with a lot of informations about you, your guesses, your votes, your average vote etc)
The website can be a little laggy now, but after browsing some shots and some profiles, it should be fine.
Cheers
Great work. :)
Especially to see spoilered comments on your own shots on your homepage again is a great thing.
I also got a little request: If you create a new movie page and directly want to upload a shot for this film you always have to enter the captcha phrase even though it's obvious that there can't be any snap of this film in the ff/ns (since you just created the database entry). So couldn't you just skip the captcha in case someone created a new movie entry? It's a bit annoying for people who frequently add new movies to the database. ;)
Awesome !!
Take your time for the new features, they sound great !
We're all supporting you, Kinoute !
Just wanted to pop in and say awesome work Kinoute! Looking forward to see the features on your "What i'm working on" list!
EXCELLENT work!
BTW, I have a small request to ask, if possible: sometimes I found movies added to the db with the correct original non-english title only but with the wrong flag (usually the standard english one). I can edit info (abstract, title, year, IMDb link) but not the original language/flag related. I know that I can add alternative titles, but sometimes this is not possible because it's the only title available, but I think it's also a matter of accuracy...
Thanks a lot for your attention and help!
i dont want vault shots in the favmovies, see pulp fiction actually, if you have it in your favs, its a draw shot, i don't want that. So i'm gonna change it to don't take best rating shots from contests. Also, i'm gonna remove taking favmovies shots from NS but i'll leave the FF shots. Need too many coincidences (best shot, movie with no shots..) to be the best rating shot anyway. Let's see how is going and if it's not working, i'll take only archives shots/characters shots/titles shots/timed out shots
