Develop Bugs

New front page on main site !!!

The xda-developers.com main site has a new front page. It's still very much a work in progress, and it will change significantly still over the next few days and weeks.
But please have a look and say whether you like it.
The articles currently available through the front age will find their way into the forum over the next week as well, and they'll get their own small box on the front page.
If you can, please help turn the XDA-developer news service succeed. With so much going on, I feel it's important we have some kind of editorial summary in order not to drive people nuts.

everything is fine except........ wheres the links to the pages like connectors ect...

WOW new front page, looks good too!
But for some reason I'm unable to logon with Pocket IE.
FYI the below error is whats being reported:
Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exit
No Pocket IE what am I going to now!
Posting from Desktop PC.....

Ehm, whoops, I forgot to say currently it only works with the XDAdevelopers theme... Same goes for the encyclopedia. I'll fix that soon.

:?:
I can get to the forums but where did the rest of xdadevelopers go? The links to the tools, tutorials, pictures, etc... Seems I can't find the links to these areas off of the new home page...

Always get "Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exist".
Did some testing, found out that it is related to being logged in.
If I log out, the site opens normal.
When I log in again on the site, I get this error again.
Tested with IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.4.1

You had selected subSilver as your style, and as mentioned above, that wasn't done yet.
The ood news is that it now works for you. The bad news is that I deleted subSilver. See my other message... Sorry...

OK, but loved the sub-silver more then the yellow. Think it's to flashy.
Thank god it's just yellow and not orange :lol:

Looks good although I don't usually go on the front page since I bookmarked the forums for my devices.

There is a solution to everything.. Or a work around too.. Answering q & a section to get 10 posts isn't that hard... It only takes at max an hour to get to 10 posts legally...
What I mean is it looks daunting task at first.. But it's really easy..
If you can't even make such small contribution towards community, then how can you help in dev section.. If you have enough knowledge to help in dev section can't you help non tech savvy people in question & answer section?

RE: Just rommed to wm6 black, where's msn messenger?

That was wrong. i did search, which i always do before questioning. I dont' have anything called windows live on my tytn. I can show you guys screen shots.

The attitude isnt unnecessary.. its about keeping the board clean of useless junk... you are using an outdated version of black... that isnt black2.0... this is why there is no windows live.. please read and make sure you have latest version.

Say goodbye to activesync and hello to Hydros!

Hydros Sync Center
This thread is made sololy for the discussion in hydros sync center.​Hydros Sync center is a syncronization aplication which is planned to replace activesync and it is compatible with all version of windows mobile throught the simple and elegant RAPI interface. to learn more about Hydros Sync Center and it's features, please stay tuned for more updates or take a look at it's features which we have integrated so far. This project is meant to allow users to understand that there is more to mobile computing than the mundane lifestyle of Activesync (no offense to microsoft). Here is some info about it:

This application is meant to resemble the simple interfaces of the Apple Itunes and some features of the Zune. Currently, all of the features listed have been implanted in the app except for video converting and audio converting. To pre-order this application or donate, please click the link on my signature and support my work!
-Take note that those who donated (any amount), can get the application 1 week earlier and they also get some "premium" features which are not available through buying it later.

you need to provide a working app first prior to asking for donations.

Don't get it the wrong way, I'm sure there's a lot of us who'd love to replace activesync, but I'm quite sure no one will give you anything before trying and being sure your work is worth it!

work with calender sync? I want to sync with a free calender app on my pc...not limit to outlook... I have a two week timetable and cba to do it on my ppc and i dont have outlook ! Will def donate if that is up!

Finally, a program to sync my 'tweeter' account. Thank you Aqua Corporation!

lol, i really want one 'tweeter' account, but i have only Twitter, anyway looks like an awesome fake application lol, the design is the best and look at the logo makes me cry.. donating 500$ for this awesome application lol

i already made a free version of the app which has a lot of features but it's really ugly but i will release it sometime today or tommorow after uploading it to mediafire.
-I am really sorry if i am being doubted by some people and i understand your frustration

nah is just looks like a fake app, give an example and wait for support if its good, im sure you will get it

What Operating Systems will be supported?

Like I said before, dont take it the wrong way...
it's just that usualy one has to show something before people start to thank him!
I'm sure your app is great and that everyone will eat their words!
For me... It'll work if it is MAC compatible...

Make it *nix compatible. I'd pay for that. then you'd have to release under GPL. and I could have source. hah that'd be sweet.

Aquantu / linux i think

Thread closed, asking for orders/donations before providing a product is dubious at best. It also conflicts with our "no commerce" policy.

Mention System Feedback and Bug Reports

We just went live with a great new feature on XDA to help users keep track of who quotes and mentions them. You can read about it here.
Use this thread to provide feedback and report any bugs you experience with the new system.
FAQ:
Q: I hate this. How do I turn off all emails and notifications?
A: Go here and check off: hide mention alerts, hide quote alerts, disable mention emails, disable quote emails.
Q: I kind of like this. I only want certain people to be able to mention and quote me. How do I do it?
A. Go here and check off either "enable mention restrictions" or "enable quote restrictions". Then add people to your friends list that you only want to be able to mention or quote you. Boom.
Q: I love this. XDA rules. I don't have a question.
A: :highfive: :good:

Thank you XDA! Much awaited feature! I hope it works the same way in the XDA App also..

Just fixed a small bug where you would get both a mention and a quote email if you were mentioned and quoted. It will only send out one quote email.

This is great! @conantroutman and @M_T_M will be so pleased!
Shame it only works on the new theme, though. Ah well. It's a cool feature anyway!

Hmm, I had thought about that, but I thought that if you follow a large thread with lots of replies you may still want to be notified if you are mentioned explicitly.

[BUG] No donation "star", contact forms are not working

Sorry for posting it here but looks like all contact forms (including "star request" form) at http://www.xda-developers.com/contact/ are not working (I've got endless "rotating arrows" - waiting animation).
My PayPal transaction ID is #1VC83551LP151720A, donated amount is 10 EUR (PayPal converted it to $11.38 USD, may be it's a reason?)
Could you please fix issues? Thanks!
And thank you guys for the great site/work!

Thank you guys! And I love xda-dev!

@MikeChannon, I am getting the spinning arrow animation as well. Got my first star request in last December without issue (I don't know if the star granting are meant to be automatic - my situation is compounded by having a different email account tied to Paypal than XDA), does not seem to be doing anything with Debian's Firefox here, or with Chrome on my Android tablet.
I had the same issue with another part of the contact form a month or two back as well (so throw in my work PC running Chrome on Win7).
My transaction ID is 08782348EW9725434 (20EUR)
If you need any other details, can reply here as I have already subscribed to the thread. If you need either of my emails (since it's part of the original form), feel free to send me a PM. Thanks!
