I just installed Barefoot Essentials. Thank you so much for making this, it's awesome!

I do have one request though: Any way to include in-line editing (so instead of a pop-out box when editing a post, you can edit like you add a quick post).

Thanks!

Editing is forbidden in Forum Mafia.

Oh dang it, you caught me. I'll just have to have my scum buddies pick you off tonight ;) (And just on the off-chance any of the current players in the current game see this, I'm not in any way claiming anything for the current game. Just making a joke. :P )

So I've been thinking about using BE2 in order to update my GOG library into a shelf that can be seen by anyone who comes by my name. Unfortunately, I have to register an account on the GOG wiki to do just that, and registrations are disabled. There are admins I can contact, but some appear to be offline for the moment.


So, how do I get an account created at the GOG wiki to get started?

Contact the admins and wait. Barefoot_monkey is who set up my account there. HypersomniacLive helped me set-up my library and wishlist.

Looks like I'll contact Barefoot_Monkey and wait it out. It doesn't seem like it can be done overnights, so I'll wait no problem. Thanks for the little help!

Well, I finally got my account on the wiki. You can, finally view my library from this link:

Again, thank you, paladin181 and thank you too, Barefoot_Monkey! Now I have to fix this little join date bug, because I joined on the 1st of January 1970 :/

I tried changing various elements in the infobox but its always the 1st of Jan 1970...

That's a bug with GoG's Info I think... Check my [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/User:Paladin181]page[/url]..
EDIT It has to be a bug with GoG's reporting. I changed my "gogname" to yours and got the same thing, where as mine is reporting properly.

Ironically I checked your page when I first found this bug, long before you answered. Talk about a recognizable name.
It seems indeed, that something is wrong with my gogname that makes it report a join date older than GOG itself.

Your data on gog itself seems fine (it's displaying your correct join date on the forum and the pop up, but also in the javascript)

1/1/70 is the epoch date used for Javascript dates so I would guess it's either been corrupted somehow when exported or been missed completely so a default value has been used (a new date created with "0" would result in that date) but it depends on how the wiki accounts are made.. I presume as it uses the exact days it pulls the number when you sync your account rather than Barefoot adding it manually when he creates them..

I see that https://www.gog.com/account/settings/personal no longer indicates the number of days since you joined. That's where BE looks to figure out the date that you signed up. Not sure when it disappeared - I'd better look into an alternative.

Dunno what you mean by recognizable name, but I did try to sort something. :P But now that Barefoot_Monkey is aware of the issue, maybe he can sort it out.

That info was scrapped in the NAS, mid May 2015.


My GOG sign up date (Sep 28, 2011) shows incorrectly on GOGWiki (Sep 29, 2011) - see attachment.

When I saw your name in the active user list, I presume, I immediately knew it was you, hence the recognizable name. Now that the issue is detected, and now that I've nothing wrong on my part, maybe something could be done about this.

You could use the AJAX call made when you hover over an avatar in the forum to retrieve info about a user including there date joined, providing you have their userId (which I presume should be somewhere not to difficult to find)
