The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Update on vB3 Migration to Discourse - Issues and Status of BBCode Transformations Post 303045699 by Neo on Thursday 9th of April 2020 08:55:45 AM

It has been a few days since my last status update, so here is a new, quick one:

@Scrutiziner and @Neo continue to work on the migration and are getting closer. The migration script provided OOTB by Discourse (the various BBCODE converters) mangled a lot of text; and @Scrutinzer has been leading the effort to get the various bbcode conversions as error free as practical. So far, so good.

Today, after more discussions with @Scrutinzer, I modified a Discourse theme component and added four new editor / composer buttons:

Update on vB3 Migration to Discourse - Issues and Status of BBCode Transformations-new_composer_buttonsjpeg


This was my first Discourse theme component modification, and frankly speaking, it was really easy (orders of magnitude easier, and infinitely faster debugging, than Discourse plugin development and testing).

That modified theme component is available on GitHub as md-composer-extras-neo

Code:
https://github.com/unixneo/md-composer-extras-neo

Frankly, we don't want to get too much into editor / composer button modifications until people use it more; so this will probably be the only changes to the composer before going live (sooner than later). We can look for better icons on FontAwesome and get input from the people who matter the most, all of you!

@Scruitizer informs that he is getting closer to have his new Ruby preprocessing script ready for testing against the database, and he says he has been having a lot of fun with Ruby as well!

More later.....

NAME
exo-open - Open URLs and launch preferred applications SYNOPSIS
exo-open [[url]...] exo-open --launch [category] [[parameter]...] DESCRIPTION
exo-open is a command line frontend to the Xfce Preferred Applications framework. It can either be used to open a list of urls with the default URL handler or launch the preferred application for a certain category. INVOCATION
exo-open either takes a list of URLs and tries to open each of them using the default handler, or, when using the --launch tries to launch the preferred application for a certain category, optionally passing any number of parameters to the application. Options -?, --help Print brief help and exit. -v, --version Print version information and exit. --working-directory directory When using the --launch option and this option is specified as well, the application will be run in the given directory. This is primarily useful when running the preferred TerminalEmulator from another application and you want the command in the terminal window to be run in a specific directory. --launch category parameters... Launch the preferred application for the given category with the optional parameters..., where category is either WebBrowser, MailReader, TerminalEmulator or FileManager. If you do not specify the --launch option, exo-open will open all specified URLs with their preferred URL handlers. Else, if you specify the --launch option, you can select which preferred application you want to run, and pass additional parameters to the application (i.e. for TerminalEmulator you can pass the command line that should be run in the terminal). COMPOSING EMAILS
exo-open allows users and developers to open the preferred email composer from the command line by simply invoking exo-open mailto:USER@HOST.TLD. This will open the composer window with USER@HOST.TLD as the recipient. This syntax is supported by all MailReaders. In addition the MailReaders that ship as part of libexo also support extended mailto:-URIs (but be aware that user-defined mailers do not necessarily support this), which allows you to also specify default values for the subject and the body of the mail, add additional recipients (both Cc: and To:) and attach files to emails. For example mailto:foo@foo.org?cc=bar@bar.org&subject=Foo&attach=/foo/bar.txt tells the composer to start an email to foo@foo.org and bar@bar.org with Foo in the subject and the file /foo/bar.txt attached to the message.
