Hi ruuk
this addon is coming along nicely, I really like the polished look and feel to it, I also like the stylish icons you have made for each forum.
I have done a bit more testing and have included a debug log,
I also had switched "on" in the forum browser addon settings "Log Debugging"
& "enable mybb edit post bug resubscribe fix"
Log is here :- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.hansel...0debug.log
Just a reminder of my setup
XBMCbuntu eden v11.0(xbmc.org)
Asrock ion 330ht
Transparency skin
Using a remote controller
Forum Browser 0.9.13
Web Viewer 0.8.5
Some more observations I have made :-
I had installed from scratch and web viewer 0.8.2 was installed instead of v 0.8.5 can you ask it to install v 0.8.5
I set my login details in the "Set Logins" setting and I had to close down forum browser and restart forum browser to get it to actually register my login ie show the green light, is this the expected method.
As you noticed I was able to successfully post in the forum no problem, I was also able to edit my post, and while logged in I changed forums and came back to xbmc.org which logged me in automatically and again I was able to post no problem, also my post count increased, which is all good. But I was not able to delete my post, you will see from my log that I tried more than once to do this, see what you think.
I was also not able to quote again see the log as to what you think.
Subscriptions & messages all worked fine as expected, could the word subscriptions be possibly changed to bookmarks or favourites ?
The favourites separator is now visible thanks.
One thing I did like about the older versions I have tried, was the "use forum colours" and the "light" & "dark" options.I especially liked the black background with white writing as this to me is less eye strain.
My avatar info on the left is nice accept my user name is a bit blurred in red maybe green would be better? .Why does it say Tapatalk when I'm logged into xbmc.org. I like the green icon in top right corner to show me logged in maybe this could be carried to all screens?
Could you look at including some nice fanart, like your web view fanart ?.
At the end of the log you will see I got it to script error, this was triggered by me logging into xbmc4xbox trying to post a reply but failed, so I came completely out of forum browser to try to re enter xbmc4xbox to see if it needed to register my login details but couldn't get back into forum browser, I did notice that before I tried to post a reply in the xbmc4xbox forum I saw the green icon in top righthand corner was showing green as if I were logged in.I was able to access the addon settings I tried a couple of options to no avail and then proceeded to set setting to default but couldn't get past script error .
Apart from that It was a complete pleasure to use, very user friendly, easy on the eye, the keyboard addition is a godsend I especially like the abcd format.
I think the forum list will grow very quickly once this is offered to the official repo. which I don't think will be very far away now.
Hope you understand the above, sorry for it to drag on & on, but this addon is I use alot and like you want it to be as good as it can be.
I've ran out of testing time for tonight, but I will check in before bed to see your findings if any.
All the best, and keep up the excellent work
Oh and thank you for my reputation, it stinks being in the red
Thank you
John
