Haha, fair enough! You should checkout Lanzer's work diary from the past few weeks. He was updating the database and clustering it. Apparently was quite old lol
As for Gaia's migration into HTML5/JS (again not sure why the sarcasm to this as Lanzer has been talking about this being in-progress since shortly after return), I'm not part of the development team so I cannot say. Even if it's not done by the end of the year I would assume it's still in progress regardless since the site still exists, since those are the key features for the future viability of the site. If they weren't working on them then why even bother keeping things going is the logic I have at the moment.
I feel like you took an oddly over offense to comments about Flash, so if you're that easily bothered by someone sharing a same technical perspective that the vast consensus of the tech community has then indeed hanging around a technology chat area is probably not the best of ideas. o.O
Just checking in.
I wanted to see if you now understand the reality of severing a core technology from an older platform. This is the reason why I defended Flash. But hey, at least Gaia Online is now secure, and not sullied by an outdated proprietary technology.
If my point wasn't obvious, Gaia Online was not ready for the end of Flash.
With the end of 2021 drawing near, Gaia Online is still not ready for the end of Flash.
Trying to get him to add a GSI for getting child item data — and various other things. gonk
List of things I will be posting in the next AtS:
Information Query
The 712 GSI returns a thumbnail and thumbfile property. The thumbfile is what's used for the item's icon. What is the thumbnail image for, and how would I access it?
Game items have a "class" and "subclass" property, some of these come back as numbers. What is the value of the numbers, is it suppose to be a foreign key in your database?
================ Feature: New GSI
In order to not slow down the 712 GSI requests further by adding more information returned, would you be willing to add a new GSI that takes an item ID and returns all of it's children items' data, like what gets returned with 712, but for all of the associated children.
Example: I give it the Anima Adamantea ID (#31825) and would returns data for all:
Anima Adamantea (chest gem),
Anima Adamantea (metal egg - in arm),
Anima Adamantea (glowing bracelet),
etc...
While I can get the parent item data from the item_search table, it is not currently possible to get the child item data.
Have you looked into opening JIRA to the public for bug tracking and feature request issue tracking. Lanzer said he'd need to look at the current JIRA license to see if it would be allowed.
================= Feature
A few weeks ago I asked about markdown. You said you'd look into implementing it along side with the BBCode engine.
Have you looked into it further, or started working on it?
Yeah, SF seems to be one of the more active forums. I use to frequent the Q&A and the PD forums, but they're pretty slow these days and don't require much technical explanation.
I'm not really sure why Gaia has a C&T forum still, it's not very used and there are other better sources at this point. :shurg:
I've known him since about mid '08 or so. I talk to him semi-regular. I email him, give him a progress report of the Gaia Tools update - still has a little ways to go. 3nodding
It's funny cuz I'm actually happier on Gaia than I ever was before, and I am active in IRC like...20 minutes a week if that these days. Glad things are going decently. smile
