[request]XDA-DEV Thread Button Link

Hi xda-dev,
I just thought if we could have us thread owners to have a standard button design for a specific thread that we can use/link in our blog post or websites?
Just a thought ..

And, while on the subject: Is an RSS feed going to be made avail in new version ?

I think that's a great idea. But could you clarify: Are you speaking of the same basic concept on news sites where various social-media icons are avail to auto-repost? (twitter, digg, etc)... Or do you mean a button that performs the action of copying the thread's link & title to the clipboard, then being able to paste it anywhere on your own site, manually, into a blog post etc?

that's what I meant. Just a simple idea, thought it would be nice .. but if you could think of better implementation, then it'll be great!

SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC:
I'm WAY behind the curve in using twitter, and how it integrates with what seems like 1000 different twitter-based apps... And twitpics, i'm even less clear on how and WHEN to use it, and if it's used WITH twitter, or a parallel service to twitter for just sharing photos in real time.
ON-TOPIC
So I'm not clear if your posting that image on twitpic is literally an example what you want to be able to do, or are you saying there are apps for either phone or desktop computer that will generate a template graphic as well a specific thread title linked? So, in your picture, is the thread title generated as part of the graphic itself? Or is the thread title displayed in HTML on top of the template graphic?
I am really confused but I like the way it looks! please explain further...

Okay, so now I see this, in your prior sig file.. and I see that it is a graphic that gets generated with the title of the thread rendered as part of the image... so i just have never seen these used -- but I love the idea...
So for this example here:
tell me how that gets generated -- at http://www.twitstamp.com ? and then when you apply that generated graphic, how do you also code the link to the thread, in this example?
even more confused and feeling so behind the times !

well whaddayaknow -- this looks like a pretty cool web app ! ---
so are you speaking of ...
(1) You're here at XDA-devs, and you're on, for example, this very thread...
(2) You'd like to see a simple small graphical button, as part of "thread tools" or somewhere within the thread page layout, that when you click on it, it grabs the Title of the thread, and the link, copies it to pasteboard...
(3) then you go to a site like, for example, TwitStamp.com, and insert what's on the pasteboard into the "input box" at Twitstamp...
(4)... thereby generating a graphic with link that can be embedded anywhere on a webpage etc, exactly as you would grab embed code from a YouTube video, or from a photo at photobucket.com, stuff like that?
(5) Is this kind of small-file-size "picture status" thing being rapidly used as a way to post updates, but using twitpics? So that after you generate the graphic, you post it to twitpics? And those who subscribe to your feeds can see "oh cool, that sounds like an interesting thread, i want that for my phone"... and so they would click on it and link to the thread here at XDA?
even more confused by all the permutations of pasting what where... hah hah.
Is this what you mean exactly, or is it close, or is this just one of many examples of what you are envisioning?
sounds & looks interesting....

behind those words says something.
am not trying to insist the idea or any way of enforcing it to make it like a xda-dev standards.
if you don't like my request then that's fine.. I accept it with a smile.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Thanks anyways and please Senior Member.. delete this thread too..
or just let me ask the Admin.

What are you talking about?
Everything I have written has been enthusiastically positive about what you're saying. I'm just trying to understand if I'm following what you are thinking. You took all of those posts the wrong way, I think.
I really am interested in learning about how people are using these kind of twitstamps... I went and registered. I don't know what else to say, I like this idea -- and I really would like for you to answer my questions, all of them, because if I "getting" it correctly, I like it. But I may not be understanding AT ALL the way *you* are seeing your idea. So please, explain some more! I'm just another member like you, that's all. We're just talking about your idea.

ib.adnxs.com

Every page I go on, on XDA I get two url's in my browsed pages leading to ib.adnxs.com/if?enc=AAAAAAAAAA
Like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Im using IE 8
So when using XDA I'm unable to browse back using the back button in IE as the Url just reloads the same page again no matter how many times i click back
I have to click the main link on the top of the page every time I want to go back
Also we now have add's with sound! so bad!
Just a heads up very annoying

I'm getting the same thing, VERY annoying. Can't use the back button at all.
.

Same here. Extremely annoying!!!
Admins please FIX!!!!

What is the significance of a red X?
I know, I went to the page and saw the pic.
Nice reply from a mod to problems people are having with the site. Nice!
add volume.liftdna.com to the list.
One time I got five url's between the forum page and the thread page. And clicking the forum link to go back is annoying as you always return to Page 1 of the forum instead of the page you were on.

From orb's response they don't care. He suggests in an offhand way to install another browser other than internet explorer.

I'll forward this to our Server admin and if there is a problem to solve XDA will do the best to fix it as usual.
In the meantime this thread will be closed.

Rest assured, we care. I use IE8 at work, and IE9 at home, so I am not of the use Opera or Chrome mindset. We are looking into the issue now.

I am not seeing the issue anymore, how about you guys?

Back-button [still] not working in xda-developers on IE

I am not seeing the issue anymore, how about you guys?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. The problem is unchanged for me; I am still seeing the issue, where (just for the sake of clarity):
"the issue" == a. hitting the back-button doesn't appear to change the displayed page when viewing any page of xda-developers.com with Internet Explorer;
b. depending on what page you are viewing, hitting the back-button might or might not change the IE history-list that you see when you click on the little blue triangle to the left of the URL entry text-box drop-down. Ditto for the IE history-list that you see in the IE history "explorer bar" that you get when you choose to "View By Order Visited Today."
I am using IE 9.0.8112.16421.
Note 1: FWIW, my browser doesn't seem to go to any pages in the domain that is the title of this thread. The unexpected pages in my history list (and there are LOTS of them) are all in one of the two following domains: statc.liftdna.com and mediaservices-d-openxenterprise.com.
Note 2: The title of this thread doesn't really help very much those people who are searching for answers to the problem that the back-button doesn't work. Since there seems to be almost a fetish on this forum about the pleasures of searching for previous posts, perhaps the title of the thread can be changed so that more people (and apparent non-people such as newbies like me) will get more satisfaction from their searches?
Note 3: there is another thread on the same topic that someone has opened up (appropriately enough) in the forum:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Q&A.
The thread is called "IE Back Button within forums".
Being a newbie, I can't post in such a development forum and point him to here.

[CLOSED][GUIDE] HOW TO POST: Understanding the UI in posting

Hello New Users! (I prefer the term "New User" rather than "noob" ) This is a thread on some functions you can see whenever you make a post on a thread.
So let's get started!
First thing's first.. you gotta click on POST REPLY
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You will then see this

SCARED? Don't be Here's a guide on how to make a good post content
Let's dissect those functions!

6 UNDO and REDO
-Well, it's pretty much the same when you click on Ctrl+Z (Undo) and Ctrl+Y (Redo)
7 INCREASE SIZE
- This will increase the size of your post body, this is a great advantage especially when you try to recheck your post
8 YOUTUBE TAGS
-For all your awesome yt tags Tags are things you put down that are related to your video and will help people find your video easier. It is like categories almost. More info: HERE
9 PHP WRAP
-This is commonly used when you post codes. It goes a little something like this
10 HTML TAGS
-HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets. Here's for more INFO11 CODE WRAP
-Wrap your codes here! a good way to lessen confusion when posting especially when you put on codes
12 QUOTE WRAP
-Another WRAP function, this is commonly used to quote someone else's post
13 IMAGE LINK
-You can attach an image in the middle of your post
14 EMAIL LINK
-You can insert an email link here if ever needed and make the link into clickable text.. clicking on the text will lead you to Microsoft Outlook
15 ADD and REMOVE LINK
-This can be used to wrap an ordinary text and make it into a clickable text that will lead you to whatever link you hid
16 LIST and INDENTS
-This serves the same functionality like that of in Microsoft Word
17 ALIGNMENTS
-Align your text either leaning on the right or left, or center. Also, This serves the same functionality like that of in Microsoft Word

-Underline: Adds a line under the selected text.

-This will remove all your text formats. Formatted text, styled text or rich text, as opposed to plain text, has styling information beyond the minimum of semantic elements: colours, styles (boldface, italic), sizes and special features (such as hyperlinks).
20 TEXT BODY
- This is where you will see all your typed words XD

Yes, its because the image URL is linked from attachments. I don't know how, but the URL (in attachments) changes from time-to-time. ie,
the original url : http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/69808bc1673cb4d05bfb5048e208c9b0/506d83a1/1/3/7/4/9/4/2/asd.jpg
Now the URL is : http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/fb23e0b5ec01b7962ec67603493c4dae/506da0aa/1/3/7/4/9/4/2/asd.jpg
So it would be better if the image is uploaded in Image hosting servers like Imgur or Imageshack or even dropbox etc.

Hi all,
I've been registered for a few months now, but never took the time to introduce myself
I was following the O2x development since I've discovered the galaxy note a few weeks ago.
I'd like to thank all the developers for their great work!
Good going (I'm a poker player too by the way)

Log-in Issues Logging in the app
Login to XDA in Default Mobile browser.
Change your password if it's been a while,
older passwords have been causing issues with the app.
Download the app.
Open app
Tap Get Started.
Tap LOG IN
Tap Authorize
Select Just Once has worked best for me.
That should be it.
Two-factor issue
Browser issue
Troubleshooting Sign-in
If log-in fails and you are seeing 2 apps to choose from like this.
Spoiler: Screenshot
Try selecting the 2nd app, it may take several tries before log-in is successful.
If sign-in fails and you selected Always, you will need to go to settings/apps and remove Open by default setting.
If the app will not stay open or gets stuck, try rebooting the device.
If you can not log in, try selecting the guest option and sign in inside the app.

For anyone looping at the "Authorize" part of the login process...
Basically clear the app defaults, then login, Authorize then pick one of the "Xda app" to open. Do not set as default just yet. If it loops back, login again, this time pick the other "xda app". It should log you in.

Question XDA is incredibly frustrating. Why does search not work?!

I go into a thread, and click to search the thread and it takes me to a search outside of the thread for the entire fkng forums.

I noticed this the other day and thought it was me being stupid. Super annoying

Ah ok, so now you have to memorize or copy the thread name so you can go out of it to search a bunch of fields to find a keyword in that thread. Very inconvenient.

It's definitely a pain for now! I prefer my Chrome browser Google Search until there's a better way on XDA...

You're doing it wrong...

Change to "This forum" or "This thread" depending on what you're looking for.
Really a question that should be posted here too...

We're talking about the "search this thread" button, which straight up doesn't work

OP, I agree. The new format is annoying. However, it does work, once you figure it out. It took me awhile:
1. Click on "Search This thread" (top right, if you are on desktop)
2. Click the "X" to close the search suggestions.
3. Now you can actually search the thread.

wow, thanks between the two hints and my experimenting, i now understand both of workarounds for the crappy implementation of search this thread function.
summarizing in either method of tapping "search this thread" button or the top of page search box switched from "everywhere" to "this thread"...
must use the "search" button instead of magnifying glass to run the search (don't hit enter on kb either).
this means for "search this thread" button, must tap the X to close the stupid sitewide search result suggestions, to be able to see that "search" button. (also for top of page search if zoom extends it too far down)
hope that helps.

Works like a charm... not a big deal.

Yep, my go to! Cheers

the google search method seems like an unnecessary hassle since the built in "search this thread" functions as expected (as long as you make sure to X out of the suggested results and tap the search button (don't hit enter or use the magnifying glass button).

Many forums are the same way.
No big deal... make use of those nasty webcrawlers

XDA really screwed up the implementation of search in Xenforo.
It can be so much better/easier with a few tweaks.
Xenforo 2.0 had a better search out-of-the-box but 2.2 can be made better with just a few clicks.
I really dislike the Xenforo they built here.
I'll actually search Google for help before I come here and search XDA.

And I would pay a dollar if XDA would add a roll-eyes "like" option.

LOL it could be useful!
