Update TOGG
 
I don't really know where to put this, but since the Oddworld Library is kinda part of Oddworld Forums in a way, I'll just put it here I guess. Anyway, there have been some new Oddworld pictures released, and I think they should go on TOGG. Also, quick question, what happened to the Oddworld encyclopedia? Is it gone forever? Is there some way I could help get it back online? Excuse me if I posted this in the wrong place. That is all.

:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 8 at column 47: Entity 'aelig' not defined
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
That's what everyone else sees when they go on TOE, right?

Well it’s not as though the people who run it have much time to fix it any more.

yeah. what with real jobs and life and all that overrated bollocks.

overrated i say.

This should be in OD.

*moves*

Found the problem. I knew it was HTML entities, but I had no idea why they were acting up. There's a relatively quick fix I can try, otherwise it's going to be a lot of tedium. Wish me luck.

Josh 03-07-2013 01:42 AM

Good luck! <3

edit: It's weird refreshing the page and seeing everything appear again. Coding sure is magical~

High five Wil my main man! You got it back up!

Wil 03-07-2013 04:06 AM

I have literally just finished correcting every last public page in the Encyclopedia. Lots of same problems are affecting the archived OddBlog, but I'm not even going to bother looking into that.

So the Encyclopedia is back up. Most of the articles are still 7 years out of date, but at least they're there. :p

Update TOGG?

To be honest I was thinking about it. I still have a folder of images that need to be updated and added. I'm just thinking that perhaps it would be time to see if there is not a better way to sort them. Perhaps using some existing service or something.

The idea would be to be able to search the images in a way that might be easier then it is now with tags and shit.

Also for some reason I need to do all those thumbnails manually and it really is a gigantic pain in the ass.

Any suggestions?



On a side note, the fact that there is actually some request for it makes it much more motivating, thanks!

A New 'N' Tasty section of TOGG would be cool. I still use TOGG all the time to find Oddworld images :)

Wil 03-07-2013 07:21 AM

You know what? So do I. ;)

STM 03-07-2013 07:47 AM

Well done for fixing this, Wil! ^_^

Today is now officially Wil Appreciation Day. Hail the sexiest and the problem solveiest of all the mods

Does JAW have loads of beautiful unreleased concept art to use in their work?

Wil 03-07-2013 08:19 AM

There's certainly quite a lot of unseen stuff.

Tumblr has some tagging stuff built in to it if you're set on using a web service. You can build custom themes and plug your domain name into it too.

On the other hand there's a bunch of open source CMSes floating around, I'm sure some of those will have gallery plugins. Hell, maybe there's a CMS made for image hosting somewhere.

Jbot123 03-07-2013 12:57 PM

I would like a nude photos section of TOGG please.

That would be brilliant.

Wil 03-07-2013 03:24 PM

Don't worry guys, we've been planning almost exactly this for basically five years. Just around the corner!

Bullet Magnet 03-07-2013 04:00 PM

Just Google-image "Oddworld" and they all come up. You then sort through them the old fashioned way: yourself.

MA 03-07-2013 07:44 PM

but BM, i don't want to do anything myself, i want someone else to do everything for me!

ugh. this is so unfair. GAWD.

Bullet Magnet 03-07-2013 08:04 PM

TEENAGER ALERT. Someone help me take him down before the off topic fairy destroys us all.

As soon as I find someone doing the annoying stuff for me it will be done, I promise.

Manco 03-08-2013 03:52 AM

What annoying stuff would that be? Did you ever find a PHP developer?
