Starting Work On VideoTube v1.81

Got side-lined for awhile developing themes but now I am back on development of VideoTube v1.81. The first thing I am working through is getting rid of all those annoying notices that appear in Debug Mode. Once these are all cleaned up I will be reviewing any outstanding feature requests. I anticipate the clean up will take me about a week.

Trina:
I just checked out your site and I understand the problem you are having. I am wondering if the problem may be the theme style.css

Please check your theme's css file for 'textarea' settings to be sure it isn't your theme that is overriding the size attributes.

I also noticed your page has some special javascript code that says something about sliding content. Not really sure what it is doing.

You can easily change the button names to make the names shorter. They are all assigned in the language file.

Go to ShoutBox Preferences in admin interface.

Set the Text Input width parameter to correspond to the width of the column.

Example: Let's say your left column is 160px wide and the module parameter Shout Input Text Type = Multi-Line Text Area. You would set the Text Area Columns parameter = 30 (note: this number indicates how many characters wide the entry box is)

If Shout Input Text Type = Single Line Text then you would set the Text Line Length = 30.

Hope this helps.

Need a little more explanation. What exactly do you want to do in a module block that can not be done by simply creating a custom block through the admin interface?

It is always difficult to come to a consensus when a large group of professionals have differing opinions.

I believe when we are at odds over an issue we should always seek solutions. Would have been better to voice your opinion and stay involved.

When I created the modified captcha class for the ShoutBox module, I made sure the class is in it's own directory and self contained. If someone in core development would like to adopt any of my code I would be happy to share my work.

I am like you, I have no idea how a request of this nature works.

I still have some testing to do but it appears I have the Good Guest mode for captcha working. The visitor only has to enter captcha code for first post then, if successful, the guest becomes a good guest. The captcha block disappears and is no longer required for the remainder of the guest's session on the site. You can see it in action athttp://www.customvirtualdesigns.com

More work on captcha addition to ShoutBox

Well I took the plunge. Made a copy of the captcha class and placed it in the ShoutBox module. To make it completely self-contained I had to copy over a few more class files as well.

Some of the module requirements could only be satisfied by edits to the class. For example, a unique id for the text input field was needed so the input field could be cleared after a submission without performing a page refresh.

I am not sure if other developers may find themselves in the same situation but it does appear to me that a generic package of these files could be created so a developer could drop them into their module and make edits as needed.

captcha addition to ShoutBox

I have been working on adding captcha functionality to ShoutBox module. It has proven to be quite a challenge with the way the ShoutBox module is constructed.

I had an idea to add some functionality to the captcha class and wanted to hear what others thought about it. Currently the class allows you to bypass the requirement for registered members using the variable $skipMember.

My suggestion is to add a similar parameter called $goodGuest. The way it would work is the guest would have to make one valid code entry. We would then record the guest's session name and as a $goodGuest the captcha requirement would be waived for the life of the session.

I am not sure if this would create any issues or security concerns so I thought I would throw the idea out there.

For now I am going to try to code this in a copy of captcha (modified class) in the ShoutBox module.
