Metropol Upload Service 1.3

Sput · Mon 18 May, 2009 21.27

Coooeee once again. Big tweak that makes a small difference: The uploader now uses the phpBB session management. In a nutshell, you now only have to log into metropol in order for the uploader to work. No second login prompt when you go in for the first time in a while!

Do holler if it's shit.

Very good.

I do think a proper link (ie a new addition to our desk) on the header would be nice however - not sure what yet.

I agree. I keep forgetting where it is, but I'm too embarrassed to admit it.

That's just between me and you, obviously.

I am not ashamed to admit that I have been demanding it for AGES.

URGH

well you can have a basic link for now. I'll think of something fab to use eventually, and then ring the hotline to lee.

That link offends my eyes. there's not enough clearance between it and the top of the paper.

how about replacing the 4th footer panel with one dedicated to the upload service?

do a ctrl and f5 and they'll squidge up a bit. like i said, it's temporary.

Well done chaps. Like the same session bit too. Cunning.

Back to the extra login for a bit I'm afraid. I appear to have monumentally fucked this up and have no idea how or why it doesn't work. Huzzah.

EDIT: Got it. An essential part of the debugging process is admitting you're an idiot. In this case I was getting an error from the error reporting and reading as the error it was reporting, which led to much confusion over a highly trivial thing.

My my, I've been busy. Now the BBcode for thumbnails produces URLs that reflect if a file is hidden or not. If you've got a hidden file you'll get a thumbnail that, as before, is like t_38472458914.jpg.

For a not-hidden file things now go as follows:

Full size image: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/Sput/NOM_(2).jpg
Thumbnail: http://up.metropol247.co.uk/Sput/thumbs/NOM_(2).jpg .

It might be useful, it might not. At the very least it should help finding thumbnails. If this has confused you then don't worry, everything still works the way it did before.
