Properly structured headers have always been regarded as search engine friendly.  However, its actually irrelevant. Markup should, wherever possible, be written correctly and that means using the most appropriate tag for the content item.  Whether or not that is good or bad for SEO simply doesn't come into it.

Deleted FluxBB-RTL.  Thanks for reminding me.

#3 Re: Core development » 2.0: Class names & organization » 2011-09-16 11:08:32

Paul

Should you consider whether or not autoloading (probably using spl_autoload) is going to be in play.  I'm thinking particularly of the scenario where the class name is used to identify the classes location e.g. the underscores represent directory seperators so Flux_Datababse_Someclass maps to flux/database/Someclass.php.

Using underscores is more forward compatible. If at some point support for anything less than php 5.3 is dropped they can be easily converted to namespaces.

I also understood the proposed standard for namespacing and namespaced autoloading requires the vendor prefix i.e. "Flux".

In most text editors it is part of the "save as" dialogue.

It can also be used to ensure new users at least get a welcoming response to their first post even if nobody knows the answer to their question (though a quick view of unanswered posts shows this to be theory rather than practice).

#6 Re: General support (1.4) » RTL Stylesheets on GIT » 2011-08-14 02:03:18

Paul

Updated styles to v1.4.6.  Let me know if there are any issues.

Added direct download for FluxBB 1.4.6 styles https://github.com/downloads/paulsulliv … Styles.zip

#7 Re: General support (1.4) » RTL Stylesheets on GIT » 2011-08-14 01:17:23

Paul

I will install 1.46 now its released and update the styles to take account of any changes.  Hopefully it should be simple.

#8 Re: General support (1.4) » How to reduce width ?? » 2011-08-11 23:35:58

Paul

Or try this instead of changing the width of #punwrap

.pun {
	padding: 30px 40px;
	width: 1000px;
	margin: 0 auto
}

#punredirect, #punmaint {
	padding: 60px 0 12px 0;
}

#puninstall, #pundb_update {
	padding: 20px 0;
}

#9 Re: General support (1.4) » Font scaling - A simple method? » 2011-08-11 23:17:33

Paul

The font sizes are all in relative em units.  If you adjust the base font size which by default is 81.25% (which is normally 13px) then everything else should adjust accordingly.  The only downside is that the font sizes are set to produce an exact pixel size so there might be some odd results caused by rounding.  If you want 12px as the standard size try 75%.

#10 Re: Programming » XHTML questions » 2011-07-25 15:24:24

It makes no difference.  Both are valid so its just a matter of preference and whether you need an element inside the link for styling.

#11 Re: General support (1.4) » [Languages] Kurdish (CKB) language pack for FluxBB 1.4 » 2011-07-24 20:26:45

Paul

Trouble is I don't see what you are seeing so its hard to fix. I will take another look at it.  You haven't modified the style at all have you?

#12 Re: General support (1.4) » [Languages] Kurdish (CKB) language pack for FluxBB 1.4 » 2011-07-24 20:00:56

Paul

Just to let you know, I updated the rtl styles a couple of days ago to make sure they work properly with FluxBB 1.4.5 and 1.4.6.

#13 Re: General support (1.4) » RTL Stylesheets on GIT » 2011-07-23 13:12:35

Paul

Stylesheets now updated to match the current ltr styles on Git so they should work with 1.4.5 and 1.4.6.  If there are any problems please let me know.

Off topic.  There appears to be a small error in the Arabic language pack.  In forum.php there is a missing comma at the end of line 13.

#14 Re: Modifications (1.4) » Conversation threading mod ? » 2011-06-26 11:21:23

Paul

It is also called "threaded view".  Basically its a similar setup as a traditional newreader such as Outlook Express where somebody replies to a news item and then somebody else replies to that reply.  For some reason it fell out of favour with forum software a long time ago and was replaced with what we have now which is usually called "flat view".  A slightly more modern take on it can be seen on StackOverflow.

#15 Re: General support (1.4) » Modified cobalt theme, need help on a specific css » 2011-04-30 21:05:24

Paul

The left column for a post is faked by creating a very wide border and then dragging user details over it.  The relevant css is this:

.pun .postright,.pun .postfootright {
border-left-width:18em;
border-left-style:solid;
border-left-color:#424242;
background-color:#000 !important
}

You need to change the border color to #000

I will mock something up on my own copy and take a screenshot so you can see what I mean.

#17 Re: Core development » Pull Request "#27: Reorganized quick searches" » 2010-11-21 19:39:59

Paul

I thought I had it right in 1.3.  Search links at the top but action links such as mark as read, subscribe and mod controls etc in a bar under the main section.  That also tidies up the footer and gives mod authors somewhere to put additional links.

#18 Re: Core development » Pull Request "#27: Reorganized quick searches" » 2010-11-19 23:51:06

Paul

Still wraps under at the most common browser width (960px) if there are reports.  Basically a design flaw, just too much trying to fit on one line.

#20 Re: Feature requests » Breadcrumbs on search results page » 2010-10-13 19:38:15

Paul

If the breadcrumb on the search results page leads back to the search page then you won't see the search term again because the crumb is just a link which reloads the search page with a blank form.

#21 Re: General support (1.4) » Remove dotted line » 2010-09-14 15:07:12

Paul

The code isn't valid because you have two items with the same id ("onlinelist").

You should give the second item a different id e.g. "onlinetodaylist".  You can then use the same css as for onlinelist but without the border.

#22 Re: Feature requests » Could you add an inline code BBcode tag please? » 2010-08-25 01:22:31

Paul

I have it working just fine though it also had to be added to the array of 'ignore' items so it won't parse bbcode.  Didn't even need a style sheet change.  I called the tag "cx" for "code example".

#23 Re: General support (1.4) » Redirect page, slightly off center » 2010-08-25 00:42:25

Paul

#punredirect, #punmaint {
  width: 600px;
  margin: 60px auto;
  padding: 0 185px; 
}

#24 Re: Feature requests » Could you add an inline code BBcode tag please? » 2010-08-24 22:14:37

Paul

Just use the <code> tag which is an inline text formatting tag.  It could just be added to the other text formatting tags.  The end result would be something like the help page.

I'm assuming the request was for a genuine inline code tag rather than a block level code tag without the box.

#25 Re: Feature requests » Personal, Personality thay are similar » 2010-08-20 10:42:00

Paul

I think I would combine the pages and get rid of most of the explanatory blurb to make the signature section shorter.
