I'm a bad QAer I didn't give you how to reproduce the test.

1.) Go to a blank day and enter Bastok for 2.
2.) Time entered for 2-5
3.) For the same Name enter Bastok in for 0 on the same day
4.) Time is entered for 0-3

0-3, will overlap with the 2-5.

Hope that helps :D

Aaaaah I see how you did it now. Hmmm I will look into that one abit later. I'm unsure how that could happen though, since the same checking code is used for every time. It must have something to do with it being on the cusp of the day. When it checks it does it like this:

00-0102-0506-07

22-2300-0304-05

So it basically checks 2 hours either side to see if anything had been planned within that timeframe. My best guess without having a look at it is that it's not doing the 22-23 check properly.

Actually, I was able to put in overlapping times if they were 2 hours apart - but not 1 hour apart - at other times of the day (see Oct. 17th).

I did another test. 8-10 then 6-9 and they overlap, so i don't think it has to do with being near the extremes (00 and 23). Like the previous poster said, 7 won't overlap but 6 will, so it's only when it's 2 away. Looks like an off by 1 error :).

Ahh the joy of debugging code. It's so much fun.

Good luck!

Hiya hi!

Lemme know the details of this thing, I would like to also use it for my Dynamis LS, Survivors of Reality. I think this is an outstanding idea.

Ok so fixes:
- The one noted before about missing an equals sign in one of the queries.

Additional:
- Added overview, just shows the days with runs on them. Going to add a feild when you add a run where you can label what it's for, ie just for fun, sponsored run, looking for members, specific run information that sort of thing. This will be shown here.

Thoughts for the future:
- Abit far fetched but I just had a thought of RSS feeding this baby. You make not of what LS you want to follow and you're RSS feed will send you the information every time that LS has a run added (well when you're client checks the feed). Might actually be able to make this into some sort of web feed as well for sites to add to their websites (in an iframe or something) and it will show only that LS's upcoming runs (different view).
- I'm so getting an itchy trigger finger when it comes to making this look pretty, so I'm really hoping that we can iron out the bugs and I can publish this baby ^^

One more thing:

When you logout, it doesn't close the dialog for adding time. If you try to add a time, after you log off, it just goes to a blank screen and does nothing.

I think when yoy log off it should close any outstanding dialog boxes that are open.

:)

Edit: one other thing, when you add a time, or maybe it's better when you close the dialog box, it might be a good idea to refresh the page. For a second i thought it wasn't adding it but I just didn't refresh the page.

P.S. Darn you for making such a good app, I can't find any bugs ;_;. You're no fun ;_;.

Woohoo!

I did find a bug! I know If I did it long enough :D!!!


To recreate test go to blank day (let's say the 21st)
1.) Add Bastok 23 (System response adding 23-2 to the 21st and the 22nd).
2.) Goto the 22nd. Add Bastok 23-2)
3.) System will display for the 22nd:

23-02 - RB (This is the one from the previous day)
23-02 - RB (This is the one that carries to the next day).

If it's not too much trouble i would when sayd overlap it shold be displayed like

23-24 (or 00) on the first day and
00-02 on the secon. That way there's no confusion.

That should be a fun one. I'll leave ya to it. Great job as always!!

Not really a bug, but more an issue in displaying overlapping days, as you have described. What would you suggest be the best way to handle this? Previous and Next day hours put say P and N before the hours ?


I can actually make it just say 22-00 and then 00-01 on the next day. That's actually easy.

No I didn't just put moon phases into the calendar. What are you guys talking about... you be seeing things :P

I'm pretty sure the timing is right for the phases, but if wrong I can adjust it.

Also just dujusted it so that the times go from 00 to 00 each day to stop confusion on days that overlap.

Just bumping this because the last post happened mid-alla-breakdown and didn't get registered as a post on the main page.

Looking good. Only thing I see is that the clock on the top is off. I'm at GMT-6 and putting the -6 timezone it is displays the time as 9:32 (after a page refresh) when the atomic time is 10:09 looks like it just needs to synched up.

Otherwise I think you are good to go! Great job.

Hmmmm 30 mins off... does your timezone have 30 min DST ? I might change timezones so that they can be changed -6:00, -6:30, -7:00 etc so that people can fine tune it incase there's something out.

Ok so next thing that I will do is editing of the events, then linking the events to shell profiles, and then it should be ready to go.

NOTE: For Firefox users the hourly dropdown for adding runs will have the moon phase icons next to the time that you can choose from the combo box.

Ok try out this, next step is editing and it should be live for people to use. Going to add filters for things other than Dynamis as well.

Ok I think we are at a working version, if any problems arise I think they will be minimal and easily handled. I've cleared the databases of all run information and it's now open for registration. At the moment this will be done manually (since I'm lazy on the writing yet another registration system), but I think this is also a good thing, as we won't have 300 random people filling the days with crap.

So green light to Go, let the organising begin ^^

To Do List
Shell Profile Pages
- Ability to update shell information, website etc
- Shell Abbreviations on pages to link to Profile page.

Listings
- When listing all, the 3 letter abbreviation of the region is placed next to the run. This causes line break issues. Will change these abbreviations to images or region/nation banners.

Language Packs
- I'll release a list of the words needed to be translated.

Server Override
- Show maintenance times and stop runs from being posted during that time.
- When selecting a time from the list to schedule a run, if a run is already using that time, it won't show up in the combo box.

The whole damn website >_<
- Too much to do, going to use site engine I'm writing, and build from there. More a hub than a community site, but there will be community feedback and other stuff.

A reservation system is importaint. It saves members of all the server dynamis groups from drama and disapointment. I know many linkshells including mine have done childish things just to enter the arena they want to enter.

PA, please participate in the RB sponsored area reservation system.
We'd like to know who does what so we dont have any conflicts. I understand that you participated with RB but when the results didnt go your way you decided to heck with a reservation system. Dynamis Sandoria was open this week, you could of gone there, or even the Northlands Dynamis too.

We have many dynamis groups on our server and we need some sort of traffic control.

I know that the system will not be the solution to our problems, but it should be able to ease the issues that happen. Hopefully SE will fix it soon enough.

I like the look of this. /clap
I can't seem to add any test runs, is it just me, or was it meant to be that way for the time being?

Anyhow... Just a tiny thing, I noticed that the default view was for Bastok upon going to that URL which could potentially cause some confusion, so perhaps the initial view could be defaulted to 'All'. :)

And yes, in the meantime, while this is being spiffied up, people are welcome to use the RB calendar to avoid clashes and stuff. We're at http://rustybuckets.proboards38.com/ and you can send a PM to Kysha with your run details if you want to be on the calendar. o.Ov

Default is now to "All", yeah it was a tiny thing. I would still suggest people keep putting runs on RB's calendar as well as who knows what might happen.

Yeah I cleared the database, all logins and runs reset to nothing, so all the test accounts are gone. I can PM you login details if you need one. (Really need to get a register function ; ;)

Oh an Giggi, sorry I added the D+1 run. I couldn't get hold of you to ask if it was ok to list it.

Ok found a heap of crap issues with the damn calendar. Now I'm about to re-write it from scratch since it was basically made on the fly additions added here and there, the code is bloated, blah blah.

Anyhow on another note seems that something happened on Ragnarok -> http://www.livejournal.com/users/russta/ -- Something to do with them having a calendar system as well, but well, people didn't like going with the flow. ; ;

Ok this is not being pro-my_stuff... but OMG that's horrid. The style is like vomit ontop of a ****, actually that would look better ; ;

See I was trying to take it one step further and offer timezone offsets. That site is just a forum with a plugin. These days so many people think they can do things by means of a random plugin on vB, Nuke or any other CMS.

Meh I don't mind what people use ^^



NOTE: Must stop leveling BLM and get back to work on my own personal projects.
