Bugs? On www.shmax.com? Ha ha, you kill me... / How do we delete an account?

February 26, 2017, 11:10:21 PM

I'm trying to delete unused accounts that I have.
This is an attempt to reduce my "attack surface" on the web.

On do we do this here?
Thank you,

- Optimized the query in the product browse page when navigating by form or mold.  The gains can be up to 50%. Some unused data (watchlist and wishlist) was loaded in the queries.

Since the top ranking refactoring, I haven't done more work on this.
I'm letting the framework breathe a bit to make sure all ends are well rounded before pushing forward.

At this point, new ranking are fairly easy to implement.  The hard part is done.

So we should see those values for the current user, not the visited user.

I see.

When we view someone else wishlist, do we actually want those those values displayed?

The WhishlistPage.class looks.
The SkuManager.class, I'll need some details on why you deactivated the code between line 166 and 191.  This code is meant to integrate "append info" data in the main query, thus reducing the number of rounds trips between php and mysql, improving processing speed.  When I did those changes, the gains were in the 20% range.  Eventually, the legacy appendinfo code will need to be removed to increase the compile time.

An earlier version php script that generates the gif signature was pushed on the server by error.  I redeployed the proper version and it is working now.

Feature Requests/Announcements / Re: is there a faster way to update collections?

It very well could be! It used to be quite a performance hog, and we've spent a lot of time trying to speed it up (the "rank" was the main culprit). I had thought it was all settled, but it could be that something regressed. Spaceharfang, if you're reading this, can you please check the performance on the Fun Facts?

I've checked with my collection, at the top level the fun facts stayed below the 0.7sec mark.  About this I'd be an advocate that every fun facts should be visible at first glance.  If you need to scroll to see the end, there is too much displayed.

The top performance hog feature right now would the item count displayed between () in the tree navigation.  It counts for about 40% of the load time.  On the next iteration of the navigation process, we'll to carefully evaluate the benefits / costs for it.

It is possible to have a database that evolves along the requirements.  It is just too easy to use a quick fix at some point.   It takes discipline to make sure the database remains flexible.

Agile development techniques put a lot of tools toward that goal.

I agree with you.

Except for the country, I find it usefull in the tree navigation. But it really needs to be nothing more than a filter, allowing a sku , toyline to be in more than one country.

Honestly, toylines that can be in multiple brands or toylines that can be in multiple field of interest, it is the same thing from a programming stand point.  

The real question is, does it make sense for the navigation?

September 09, 2011, 09:47:58 AM

I'm not sure it can be fixed.  At least for third party forums, since it is a security feature of the flash player.
I'm not even sure I want to see that opened for our forums, since it could open the door for fraudulent signatures.

It might be better to include a copyable url at the bottom of the flash app signature.

In flash html code, the parameters must be set for the links to work.
allowScriptAccess="always"
allowNetworking="all"

That part is handled by phpBB3 code in our forums.
