Thread "new DD comic update system........" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Posted at 12:07AM, Jul. 19, 2010

Brad- most of that went waaaay over my head. :] But I can pass it on!

If it explains anything, DD was originally written by one guy in his spare time, trying to learn more php and java stuff. So I think that explains most of the nonstandard coding issues you brought up -in fact Plat and Wowio have both said that one of the problems with coding DD is having to make way through the code. It came out pretty good for a learning effort but as you said, it's not professional.

Salsa- we've mentioned this to them, we suspect it's loading the pages in the order their uploads have finished rather than their entered order. I think it just happens with the new uploader but I'm not sure.

We've not heard much from Wowio lately, I suspect they're quite busy with comic-con this week and we won't get much til next week. I'm planning on putting together an updated bug list and sending it, I'll see what they say. :]

Sorry to bother you, I know this whole thing is probably very stressful but I just wanted to let you know that the "this just in" section inst working for me. But i see that it's working for alot of other comics.

Um,I can't find the old updater.How does it look like?
EDIT-Wait,is there a difference in uploading pages when you go to a)My Account or b)MyComics>"i">comic pages?

Cause yeah,I'm having a problem of my stuff not showing up in "Just in" section.

I don;t know if this has been mentioned yet. But it appears that when you upload multiple pages, they appear backwards. Seems like whoever coded this is using a stack instead of a queue sorted by live date. In other words. Your putting the last page to go live as the first page of that series of pages, despite the later upload date.

I have been finding this too.

No, those go to the same place. On the top of the page where you'd normally upload your new pages, there's this: "If you're having problems with this new uploader, you can still use the old one: CLICK HERE." It's in the grey text area, just under the tabs.

We've listed that to them as one of the things we'd like fixed/changed. I guess they aren't concerned because they haven't done it. :[ They put in this new uploader and then don't seem to care about working the bugs out of it. JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER NEW OWNERS

Just uploaded a new page today. Says that it's there under "My Comics" on the right hand side, but won't show up in the "This Just In" section. Do I need to try the old updater as has been suggested to others? huh!?

It affects everybody, so yeah, if it's suggested to others it's suggested to you. :]
