Could you put a link in the sticky OP on how to do things like making working links and such? A quick search didn't do me any good.

it's in the FAQ but I could make it more prominent I guess

Thanks.

All the images in /levels/rubicon2/ are broken.

Thanks, this is fixed now. It was another place in my code where I was relying on the "register_globals" setting.

Time To Update The Links?

#1770 posted by oh, that person on 2014/01/04 21:58:01

QuakeDev is gone, PQ hasn't been updated since August 2012, and Besmella redirects to Quakeworld.nu. Also, a link to http://quakewiki.org/ would be nice.

Updated.

Testing long words -- instead of chopping them and adding a "..." at the end, i now set the CSS property overflow=auto to add a scroll bar.

#1774 posted by metlslime on 2014/01/24 18:30:24

man that is ugly.

but at least people can read long strings.

Can't You Just Split The String And Add A Newline Between Splits?

#1775 posted by Kinn on 2014/01/24 18:37:47

would be better than that scroll bar

You Could

#1776 posted by SleepwalkR on 2014/01/24 18:38:23

make shortened words clickable, and a click on them expands them, showing the scrollbar. Because yeah: ugly.

#1777 posted by metlslime on 2014/01/24 18:51:01

I'll try to come up with something better, when i have more time to work on it.

Usually long strings with no spaces are things like source code, urls, etc. where adding a space could invalidate the content. So i have to keep that in mind.

Word Up G

#1778 posted by DaZ on 2014/01/24 21:42:36

the html on the front page atm seems borked. Giant black segment running down the side that seems to be caused by links in a news item.

#1779 posted by metlslime on 2014/01/25 00:01:13

i don't see it, what browser are you using?

Happens On Safari

#1780 posted by SleepwalkR on 2014/01/25 00:14:36

I Saw This Earlier

#1781 posted by FifthElephant on 2014/01/25 00:41:38

on my phone. But only when I logged in on my pc did I realise what this meant, this is hella ugly having a giant scroll bar. The Rage thread is fucked on my pc.

#1782 posted by Spirit on 2014/01/25 00:48:08

I would rather just extend the long words to break out of the layout. looks like ass too but is much more user friendly imo, especially on small screens.

but isn't there some css3 stuff that might allow hard hyphenation? been a while since I looked.

CSS Stuff

#1785 posted by ericw on 2014/01/25 06:20:28

looks like setting "word-wrap:break-word;" might do the trick. It does word wrapping like normal, but also breaks single words that are too long to fit on a line.

Update:

#1786 posted by metlslime on 2014/02/07 07:44:49

followed ericw's suggestion and I am now using word-wrap:break-word; ... seems to work!

Not Always

Safari 7: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/misc/funcwrap.png

#1788 posted by ericw on 2014/02/16 03:53:42

Yeah, I get the same breakage on http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60984 in chrome 32 and safari 7.

I played around with the browsers a bit, and adding "word-break: break-word;" in addition to the word-wrap setting seems to fix chrome/safari, and not mess up firefox. That seems to be a nonstandard/undocumented value for "word-break" though, whereas the "word-wrap" setting is at least documented in http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#overflow-wrap-property :-/

#1789 posted by metlslime on 2014/02/16 22:28:18

Okay, seems I'll need to add word break and over flow wrap to cover all browsers and all versions of the standard.
