Gentlemen, I am happy to announce that the most high priority, most devastating, most crippling bug has been fixed! Also a fix has been implemented for the radio integration, which sometimes didn't show up on the main board pages (not sure if it will work 100%, we'll see), and wasn't integrated at all in single thread pages (fixed).

I don't understand why you went with Vichan, instead of Phutaba. Yes, there are a few more features, like auto-update (it also isn't installed?) But there are a lot of worrysome security issues with this script. And Phutaba is really cozy, like good old DesuChan 0.80 [spoiler];_;[/spoiler], it wouldn't need a lot of work to be on par with modern AIB engines feature-wise while still being pretty light.
Anyways, enough ranting.
If you've already decided what you're going to use permanently, whether that's sticking with Vichan or moving to something like KohlNumbra or JSchan, let me know. I could adapt EC's themes right now, so you don't need to waste any time on frivolous things instead of Bugfixes and OP and everyone else can be happy.

>like auto-update (it also isn't installed?)Likely my fault, there are some features that need to be enabled or that need extra javascripts. Expect things like that to (hopefully) come in future updates, but I can't promise it, since I still lack experience with the software.

Implemented original filenames instead of timestamp named files for download (should work with right click, save as). I also noticed a bug which I thought had disappeared: Despite all no-cache directives I've already planted, sometimes new posts don't appear on board index pages unless you refresh with STRG-F5, a normal refresh doesn't cut it. At first I thought that was a vichan issue that the prepared html page isn't updated on the new post, but I checked it and it's not: The page on the server file system is up to date, while my browser, despite all cache=haram-settings, still insists on delivering the old one. It seems that I have missed something here' after all it should be easily possbile for a browser to recognize that the page has changed when it has a newer timestamp.

https://pastebin.com/RFMDeMXFOk, almost done.
The main page loads the yousuba theme and ignores selected theme, which overrides the selected them, so that should probably be dealt with.
Other than that, it should work as both a theme and style.css, but if you replace style.css, all other themes will break so eh, not recommended I guess.
Needs to be cleaned up, and there's likely some jank I didn't really notice.
Other substantial changes would have to be done on the html generation side.
There might be some bugs. Use at own peril.

It's shown at 3rd position becuase both Yotsuba's are already referenced in the default config, which the devs said should not be messed with, but I can still set it as default.

My feature request is the integration of our two products into a single one.
I think whenever there's a radio stream, the music should be playing on the EC web page. If there's multiple streams, there should be a little menu that lets you pick.
It should not be possible to disable this feature.

In case you were wondering: I changed the wordfilters on /b/ for Koti to something else, since the old wordfilter "Ernstadmin" seemingly confused people who thought that we meant xyz-Admin, which we didn't. I don't know why people got that impression, for me it was obviously a self-ironic joge, but to clear any impression that this was a jab at someone I changed it to something else.
>>147>It should not be possible to disable this feature.Sounds good. But I think that if there are multiple streams, they should play all at once.
No.149
Right now there's an issue where if a post contains a long string without spaces that can't be word-wrapped, the post body won't be shrunk to screen width, and thus file boxes will not be floated leftwards.
That's because post bodies are set to "display: inline-block" right now, rather than "display: block".
I could set them to "display:block", but the problem with that, is that there's a <br> tag between every reply, which introduces a gap. I can't get rid of it because <br> is also used everywhere else, such as any normal line-break.
This gap can't really be dealt with, at least I can't figure out a way to do it elegantly.
So, it's either a gap between posts, or text without spaces breaks width scaling.
Then there's this quirky thing where the OP post, and only the OP post, has a <p> between the file block and post body block, which introduces another empty space that needs a rule to be handled. I have no idea what the purpose of that <p> is, but I bet removing it would break some stuff.
Now, the reason I'm writing all of this is that I need a yes or no answer before I continue working on the CSS.
Would ernstadmin be willing to actually modify html generation, and potentially break other themes (and maybe dollchan?), so I can make a nicer EC css, or not?
I'm running out of bullshit tricks to make this look nice, and I'm basically on a fork in the road on what to do with the css, so I need a confirmation or denial before I can proceed.
Thanks.

No.160
Due to current events: Is the Systemkontra tag already implemented?
No.161
>>160It should be, but it doesn't seem to work. Not sure why, but even Dollchan can't see Systemkontra at the moment, so it's safe to say that the information is available while the page is rendered, but it's not delivered in the HTML. I'll try to fix it.
No.163
>>154>word-breakI'm trying to follow closely to how the original EC css works, and there, if there's an unbroken long string, it won't be wrapped, and the overflow will instead just be "hidden" beyond the viewport.
Not sure how important this is, but I can see that it would prevent a type of spam where someone posts a long string without spaces to fill the page, + having text break in random places might affect the <code> tag once it's implemented. Making it look like there's a newline when there is none could fuck over some people.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, wrapping text is a pretty costly operation, and could lag some low power devices.
The <br> only creates a visible gap if "display" on the post is set to "body". It is not visible if it is set to "inline-body". Which is what it is set to in the current css.
The problem with that, is that elements with display type "inline-block" won't shrink along with the viewport if they contain text set to "overflow:hidden". But if I set it to "display:block", then the <br> between posts will be visible again.
The <p> is there between the .files container and the post .body, but only in the OP post. It introduces a gap that would need a special rule to deal with, so that OP text is not positioned lower than the reply text.
_
this is all pretty convoluted and would probably be easier to explain through a voice call but whatever.
I'm just gonna assume that changing the page layout is a no-no and work on the css accordingly.
A bit of a shame because the fact that the "hide" button is outside the OP post div also introduces some problems, and it'd be so much better if it were inside the .intro div like on EC. But again, it'd probably break some things.

In the catalog view the theme choices are duplicated.
Also, it seems that the catalog shows threads sorted by OP post instead of newest post, because the Quake 3 thread is currently on page 1, but on the bottom of the catalog.
No.166
Thanks for the reports! Even if not everything can be fixed it's helpful to know where the bugs lurk.
>>164I had a look at this. I thought the missing parts of the post would be a hidden element, meaning it could be set to visible on click, but this isn't the case. The missing part is initially not delivered, that's why it cant be toggled to visible via click. I'll have a look if there is some configuration or preexisting module that can be added to achieve this functionality.

No.168 KONTRA
>>167Okay, it actually is fixed, but since the catalog on the other boards is days old, the fix isn't yet propagated. Of course this is also a bug, since it should be updated on each post. Sadly the catalog seems to be pretty broken by default.
No.169
I think I found the problem with the catalog: It's only updated when a thread is created/deleted. That would explain all the bugs noticed so far:
- more often than not threads with 0 replies / 0 images at position 1
- the less activity, the older the catalog
- bump order screwed
This is a good thing, because it means the catalog itself works fine, it's just not properly updated. I will try to locate the function that triggers catalog update and add it to regular posts. Not sure if it's that simple, because the catalog is kind of a plugin in vichan, so who knows where that trigger is registered. But it sounds like a promising approach.
No.170 KONTRA
>>169I think the catalog is fixed now, I applied a fix in the code which looked like it was working, and when I wanted to rebuild the catalog pages I saw that there also was a config parameter for the plugin who did exactly that, duh. Page might still be cached on occasion, but everytime you do a proper site refresh you should also get a proper catalog now. At least one new post after this one on each board is needed to trigger the update. If there are new posts and catalog still spergs out please notify.

>>281I tried this, but with no success. No doubt this is possible, but for now Im too IQ89 to implement. The problem is that the script to add the file is in the main code, while the script to add another file selector is in an additional javascript. I was able to switch the trigger to add another file selector to the "choose file" button, in the hope that it would do both, but sadly it wouldn't. It would just add another field, but not allow you to select a file afterwards any longer. Pretty sure it can be done, but not sure if I can do it.

>>418Tried my luck today with code highlighting. I included highlight.js and called the activation function, but it didn't do anything, I suppose it's because the documentation says it expects pre- and code-tags to be present, while we currently only have code-tags for our code-elements. I have to check if that's actually the reason why it doesn't wirk (there are probably more) and whether I should try changing the script or our code. I tried to compare our implementation with Lainchan, but it looks different there, not sure if that is the end result after the js replaced css tags to style the code, or if the source html/css-structure already was different before. Also I can't see Lainchan including highlight.js in their sources, either they do it another way or I simply cant see how they included the script. I'll give it another go in the future.

Request: Double the maximum file size.

>>456I think we can try and raise it, but I can't guarantee that it's maintainable. For now we're good on file system space, but it's also the main cost driver of the server. We also have to consider the possibility that someone might try and flood us with large files to exhaust space, so we need a reasonaby large buffer. I'll drop a note when it's done.

Okay, hear me out.
The problem: EC is slow and just not "cool" anymore.
The solution: Gamify ErnstChan!
Now here's the deal.
We need D&D style dicerolls.
:d20: should spit out a nice image of a 20 sided dice with a random number selected, maybe even with a machine readable or copy pastable numeral inside.
Then we could truly play D&D, do other stupid bets or whatever.

Too bad Ernst, with actual ERNSTROLLS™ this could have led to a more verifiable result for you.

>>786>and just not "cool" anymore. Freshest and most feminine chan around, bro... I mean, sis.
>We need D&D style dicerolls.Can't think of anything more fresh and feminine than D&D. Shitposting aside, would actually implement, but the pre-rendered pages are limited concerning dynamic content. I'll have look though, maybe we can do something fun.
>>788>>790There would be an additional problem that whatever is generated by the diceroll could be indistingiushable from the same content posted the regular way. For example you could pretend to have rolled a D20 just by posting that same image the normal way. I guess it would have to be something like the cirno inline icon, but it would only be accessible via diceroll.

>>786>>788>>790It is implemented, the markup is colon d20 colon, without spaces. With this feature, we expect ernstchan.top to leapfrog Instagram and TikTok as the most popular platform amongst the targeted audience, which of course is females aged from 16 to 25.

>>792>>793The mod put in some initial effort with a wisdom of 10 against a rather picky, feminine audience.
This gives us a hard to achieve success with the power of 15 but we subtract the mods advantage of 10 wisdom

>>794Very nice, great success!
The audience is pleased with the ability to play simple games, but slight voices emerge that ask for the ability to use the whole dice set and multiple dices in one post.
But nontheless, the audience cheers for the mighty mod in shiny armor!
Maybe basing the formula on different parts of the post number? Dunno, not a brogrammer... for now.One more Ernst is still fighting to get his finger out of his rectum, as this seemingly robbed him of his voice for some reason.
We check his physical abilities with a pulling strength of 10 against a very tight, virgin anus that clenches down on the finger very hard with a power of 20.
LET IT RIP!

Now for the .png... I see the advent of AI my single most opportunity to actually get into the gaming business one day, as it finally eliminates the factor of actually "doing art" with design and music.

With his ego inflated to 15, Ernst tries to convince the rest of the gang that his job here is done, which seems like a very hard task at 20 power. 5 and higher convinces his fellow peers of his contribution to the project.

But for the mightiest of dice, I would keep the EC colors as is, it's perfect.
Maybe use more pastel tones for the rest, to give them a similar feminine EC look.

Wait, so you have a separate image for each possible dice value? Or just for the D6 because it has eyes instead of actual numbers?
Also, I like the D2-coin idea. Make the number side some relevant number (idk, years since inception of .top) and, more importantly, the head side an Ernstwurf.
No.812
>>808Ernst was a little diligent and hands over raw outlines and a proposed color scheme.
I think scaling them to size and giving adequate shading is best left to the pros tho.
Should any changes be needed this shouldn't be an issue, i.e. thicker lines or whatever.
No.813
>>809All added, except D100, for reasons.
>>810>Wait, so you have a separate image for each possible dice value?Yes. In theory, it would be possible to generate text over an image template, but that would be a nightmare on different browsers with different css and userscripts. Not saying it's not possible, but I'd rather not try.
>>812Created d4, d8, d10 and d12 from that. Waiting for a suitable coin. For d100: If that's really needed, we should go with a basic design and just spam the numbers on it. Too lazy to slap that together, though.
Now here are the six dices that are in place so far:
d4
d6
d8
d10
d12

>>815You usually have a die that has the tens (00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90), and a die with the ones (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Roll both for your result (For example, 20+8 = 28. 000 = 100).
I also bought a 100 sided die for "special occasions", like this:

Protip: Using two differently colored dice makes determining the tens and singles easier. Obviously with the strict linear format of text here that's not necessary.

>>819>REEEEEEEEE THE SIX SIDED DICE NEED TO HAVE THEIR NUMBERS ON TOPI tried my best to not point to that fact, which gave me minor mental pain.
But as you also note it, I suggest to use the eyed dice with :w6: and the numbered dice with the regular string.
Then we have a stringent set of DnD dice and the eyed dice can be used for occasions that call for it, like playing Jackpot or whatever.

>>821Not sure about that. Since people have different css for EC, I'd prefer a basic color scheme, and there should always be transparent background. But by any means, if someone wants to give it a try and design some cool dices: Go ahead. If possible please use a naming convention of dx_y.png for the image files, where x is the max value of the dice, and y the displayed value. The first dice in

I am using "Dark" anyway. My example used a bit more pastel-y yellow, but that's what I mean, there are no official colors. How are we going to become Germany's #1 serious discussion imageboard if we don't have official colors?
