Re: New: personal docks

I have two related questions/observations.

1) Is there an easier way to get to my RoaringApps profile page besides clicking on the link in the forum or bookmarking the webpage?

2) On my profile page, under "contributions", whenever I click on the next, previous, or any numbered page it first goes back to "profile" where the dock is at. I then have to click again on "contributions" to see whichever page I selected. I have to keep doing this if I want to continue to look through more of my "contributions" pages.

Challenge accepted! Chrome's CSS3 animation and transitions are noticeably inferior to Safari's, but I guess that's the price you pay for an otherwise very fast browser.

Just a thought - why not emulate the whole Mac desktop using CSS3? Then I can get the same experience without forking out cash for an overpriced computer that - for some reason - I still so desperately want to own! ;-) Despite the fact that Apple doesn't like my Java apps all that much :)

Ha, a personal comment! ;-)

I had already seen your dock, so it was fairly obvious that mine would be on my profile too.

It's a bit glitchy in Google Chrome. Hard to explain unless I'm recording a video of it, so I might do that later. Testing Safari first as you mentioned above that it is your first choice for viewing the dock.

Edit: Oh wait, I fell for it. Damn you ListUsers module! XD

Edit 2: Works perfectly in Safari - nice smooth transition / hover effect, rather than how Chrome makes it jump all over the place for me.

Re: Personal docks (troubleshooting)

Here's a small bit of troubleshooting advice - if you can see the 'add to my dock' button, but can't find your dock, chances are you're not a member of the site. Head over to the join page and press that big green button. You'll now have your very own profile page, and a personalised dock.
If you've come across any other problems, just ask below.

New: personal docks

Add to my dock button

If you've taken the leap and become a member of the site (and if you haven't, why not?), you may have noticed a new button on each app's page, asking you to "add to my dock". Clicking the button will add the app to your very own RoaringApps dock, located on your profile page. The result? A personalised collection of apps considered by you important enough to warrant a position in easy reach. The apps in your dock might reflect your most used apps, or just ones that you want to easily be able to find here on RoaringApps.

New RoaringApps docks
Docked label

Apps that you have in your dock will show the docked label, and an option to remove them from the dock. Currently the dock is limited to display just six apps; if you have added more than six, they will be shown randomly. I have plans to increase this number.

This new feature is available thanks to a update to the Wikidot hosting platform that RoaringApps runs on. The dock is full of CSS3 goodness, and looks best in Safari, then Chrome, then Firefox. Feedback is more than welcome.

That is strange and incorrect. I have an new iMac and a new Macbook Air and both use 64bit by default. most new systems since 2010 I would think use the 64bit kernel.

Maybe I am mixing terms up. My computer is not "old", but it isn't the latest one either. I was referring to this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3770.

Anyone got a copy of CS3 that they can test on Lion?

A computer is simply several pieces of hardware working together to present an operating system. if you are referring to OSX as the computer then most computers with 10.6 run the 64bit kernel by default. They only run 32bit if the processor doesn't support it or the user forces it into 32bit. In 10.7 so far it doesn't look like 32bit is supported anymore which is why they are phasing out support for some old processors.

I meant the actual computer. By default, last I read, only a few computers use the 64-bit kernel.

No, Lion only officially supports 64bit (ie Core 2 Duo and above) machines - so in theory it should not work but it seems Apple are still compiling it for 32bit only machines

When Anonymous is shown, it means the page was created/edited by someone who is not logged in with a Wikidot.com account. As far as I am aware there is no way to cloak your identity when logged in (other than logging out).

Re: Comments Count Incorrect solved

Fixed. With the new app version system, page children are no longer exclusively comments, so I had to replace %%children%% with a CountPages module. Thanks for reporting.

When it says a page was created or updated by "Anonymous", does that mean they are not registered or are they members just choosing to hide their name?

Yes, I had thought of this but couldn't make up my mind as to whether or not I wanted to add it. Basically I was taking the easy option :)

Edit: Oh, and a redirect module in the app-version category takes you back to the application once you've saved the page (something I learnt from you on the STE extensions site). :)

This is also how the page-based forum operates, returning you to the thread after posting a comment :) Redirect is a very simple module … but it's very powerful for wikidot-built applications as you've seen.
