Code update

[mark]

Just did a code push. The big thing in this push is the new icons you'll see on the site. Some tweaks and fixes to S2 layouts. And a lot of work on the payment system, which still is disabled, so you can't see that yet.

The issues with the crossposter are still outstanding, so if it's broken for you, it's still broken. We'll be working on it a lot this weekend.

Also, the issues with the importer are mostly resolved. There are only two outstanding issues -- the use of the mass privacy tool causing problems with some imports and importing from multiple accounts on one service -- but otherwise, the importer should be stable. If you've been holding off on importing your journal, I'd highly recommend you get it done before the Open Beta rush hits and the wait time becomes days!

As always, please let me know if you run into problems!

Edited: For more information on the S2 change I referred to in comments, please see this informational post in dw_styles. Thanks!

I suppose this explains why the posters' names disappeared off all the posts in my reading list just now. :)

I'm using a customized S1 style, I think. (I, er, followed the copy-and-paste instructions on a tutorial without understanding it entirely.)

[mark]

Someone else was reporting this on IRC. It's because the style you're using depends on the reading page being called "friends" still, and we just changed that. It's pretty easy to fix, but you have to go into the code for your layout and change "friends" to "read".

If you want more detailed instructions, let me know, and I'll poke someone to come help. :)

wow. I can read your mind. (I finally got around to importing just a couple of seconds ago). XD

Also, the icons = pretteh!

[helens78]

The new site icons made me squee out loud. So excited!

[msilverstar]

I don't know if the import still does this, but I got every tag I ever used, because apparently when you change the name, LJ does it dynamically? Anyway, I wish it were not so but I understand why you'd have to. Warning people would be good.

PS may I have some invite codes please?

[naraht]

Uh, no. People who select "other" are not green aliens. They're people.

[akk]

The new site icons are lovely. :)

Importer for merging an IJ account & an LJ account still loses comments from IJ:
I tried to use the importer for getting the comments on my IJ account transferred to here as well (transferred my LJ account a couple of days ago). Sadly, it didn't work.
The importer duplicated what I cross-posted between IJ and DW, but the comments on IJ posts (duplicated or not) are not showing up. I opened specifically posts I knew had comments on IJ to see if the comments were "hidden" as has been mentioned at an earlier update, but I could find nothing.
I'm sorry, if I misunderstood importing from two different services to be resolved. Is it still in planning?

[stellar_dust]

... does this explain why communities on my reading page don't have anything to say they're communities anymore? It stopped saying "posted by [user] in [comm]", now they look just like regular journals.

I'm using the standard white theme, haven't made any adjustments to it. (Though i did drop in the snippet of code that makes comment pages show in the site scheme.)

[mark]

This should be fixed now, sorry!

[matgb]

Any way of importing communities yet? miss_s_b has been using theyorkshergob as her public journal for ages, but wants to put everything back in one place on DW, it'd be nice to either import the comm here as a comm or import the comm into her journal.

[matgb]

Also, what is up with the CSS on usertags in comments? That looks weird.

Oh, ability to crosspost to comms also useful.

[magycmyste]

just noticed the new icons. Love them!

imported my journal from LJ, but I've been holding off on importing anything but my icons from IJ - all I would want are the few comments on that journal to entries that were the same on LJ. Just afraid that the entry numbers might be different, though...

[cyprinella]

Just commenting to say I really like the community icon. :D

[inarticulate]

I love the new site icons-- I'd been a bit disappointed that they looked like LJ's icons, which I'm not overly fond of, but these are gorgeous. ♥

[bethbethbeth]

What are you seeing as the DW icons? For regular users, I'm seeing what looks like a tiny silver snowman. Are you seeing the same, or am I just in need of new glasses? *g*

[foxfirefey]

EEE CODE PUSH!

[trobadora]

I've been holding off on importing because of the issue with the the mass privacy tool. Is that worth waiting for, or is it better to just import now?

[denise]

No, unfortunately if you've used the mass privacy tool, your import will still fail. This is a bug that we're working on. (It has to do with how the mass privacy tool affects the timestamp of the entries, which then affects how things get provided in the data feed.)

[zvi]

I would normally think this is a stylesheet issue, but I'm seeing the issue across the board: S1 pages, transmogrified pages, and site scheme pages.

The userhead icons are not aligned with the bottom of the text, which I'm pretty sure they were before. The change struck me immediately when we flipped icons. I can't for the life of me figure out what they're aligned with actually. In the navbar they seem to have the top of the icon aligned with the vertical middle of the line, and in other parts of the text it seems if perhaps the top is aligned with the top of the line.

[flick]

It looks to me like they're centrally aligned with the line of text, which I (personally!) think is quite nice. Not sure if that is the case, though.

[flick]

I think that the new icons are fabulous.

I suspect you're going to get obligatory "but they're so white!", but ignore: they are fab!

[nightbird]

Just noticed the new icons, and I love them! Great work, guys!

[feuervogel]

I dig the new icons! They're nifty.

[jenlev]

You guys rock! Thank you for all the hard work. :)

[jennem]

FYI: The names of posters did not drop off of my reading list until I got to this post on my reading list.

All posts above this post include the names of posters with the new icons. All posts below this post on my reading list have no names and no icons.

I don't know if its some kind of bug or what.

Note: It was a part of the bug that was fixed via afuna. I just thought it was odd that it only happened a part of the time. :D

[boji]

The new icons are cute - I especially like the 'post' icon - and the ones by the links at the bottom of a post are nicely unobtrusive.

In regards to coding, can I ask how things stand on embedded vids?

[thistleingrey]

+1 icons = awesome. Thank you!

[boosette]

You picked my preferred community icon! I NEVER HAVE TO OVERRIDE AGAIN! ♥

[kass]

I hadn't thought about the likely rush on journal imports after April 30. Okay: after reading this post, I girded my loins and clicked all the little ticky-boxes and told the import to begin!

(And -- this is so cool! -- seven years of livejournal posts seem to have ported themselves over, and I did some clicking around at random and it looks like the ones which were filtered are now locked, which is great -- I'll recreate the filters at some point. Still! eee! all my posts! Now I am just waiting on comments... \o/)

[slarti]

Well, I'm glad I looked here and saw mention of the new icons before I started what I expect will be Add DW Support To LJlogin Weekend. :-)

Also, oh good, for some reason, it looks to me like it might be larger than the LJ icons, but it's actually not. I was a bit concerned.

[mel]

I'm glad to learn you're here and planning to bring LJlogin to DW; I was vaguely thinking of asking you about this via LJ one of these days. Yay LJlogin!

[laurashapiro]

I'm still unable to import a few of my icons. I've continued to try periodically as you've reported fixes, but my default and a handful of others just won't come over.

My support request thread is here.
