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.)

[viridian_magpie]

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

Also, the icons = pretteh!

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

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. :)

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?

[logovo]

Ah, having this same issue. Will try and see if I can fix it by doing what you suggest.

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?

[ashtoreth]

Detailed instructions for the wary [like me] would be lovely, thank you.

I tried fixing it, but I just attempted a simple find-and-replace (of all instances of "friends" with "read") and .... it didn't work. It registered errors when it compiled and, um, I have no idea what they mean. ^_^

I think I'll just switch to another layout for now till the regular Core 2 stuff comes in or until mark has time to poke at the process and put it in layman's terms. ^_^

[trobadora]

I'd appreciate detailed instructions as well.

[logovo]

Ah, thank you, I was just about to do the same thing! Will have to go back to the default styles for now.

... 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.)

[rydra_wong]

Ditto -- find and replace gave me error messages.

ETA: okay, some fumbling around indicates that you can't just find-and-replace "friends" to "read", or it borks things; it's $p.view == "friends" (and $p.view != "friends") that needs to change to $p.view == "read", etc..

ETA2: http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/5062.html

So okay, I could have saved myself the flailing around if I'd just waited five minutes, but I'm smug that I managed to find the right answer by means of a cunning strategy of randomly changing shit to see what happens.

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...

[mark]

This should be fixed now, sorry!

[cyprinella]

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

[stellar_dust]

Still looks broken, even after clearing my cache just in case. :/ Is there some lag time, should I give it a few more minutes to percolate?

[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. ♥

[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?

[stellar_dust]

Also I didn't get this comment in my inbox. Hmm.

(I do LOVE the new icons, by the way!)

[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.

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*
