Forums

Thanks Ryan M

I'm not surprised there cases I hadn't covered. So many formats with so many different sizes.

I need to make a post on this thread with every possible combination of video for testing purposes. I did have a post like that on my original thread, I think I better do the same here.

Anyway I added the class for the max-width to those HTML5 formats. Update will be out in 30 min or so.

I really can't wait to get Version 4 of Linkify out. It's still far from ready but my linkify routine is so much easier to adjust/expand and read. Got to wait for this forum re-skin though.

As always, thank you for your help

The black list handles both links and player names.

All that happens is Linkify will not link/embed content from anything in your black list.


Here's an example...

Linkify will not embed images/vids or make links click-able if they are posted by the players called "nastyplayer" and "anothernastyplayer".

Also any links posted by anyone at all regardless of their name that begin with "h ttp://evilhackers.com" will not be clickable and images/vids from ht tp://evilhackers.com will not be embedded.

There are some rules that need to be followed for this to work 100% correctly. No empty new lines in the list. Everything must be lowercase.

Here's an example of what not to do...

If you have any trouble with it, just ask and we'll get you on track

Nice questions Blasty

Libraries

I'm definitely much more accepting of libraries. The size of the project is a big factor for me. Small projects not a fan of them. Larger scale stuff yes if used properly.

For me using libraries hasn't been a shortcut though. I had to know what was going on, and understand what the library is doing.

For example each(function() {}); should be done with much caution. It's very easy to adhere to the jquery syntax and do everything correctly and at the same time practically destroy your scope chain.

The thing is with some libraries you can't see what they are doing, basic mistakes are easy to make, I often see non anonymous functions declarations made in loops, where as the same developer would never dream of coding that way in vanilla js.

So in short, if you understand how your tools work, then it's crazy not to use them for the right applications.

I do like pure js, and I think in pure js and I translate that thinking into jquery, either on the fly or much later.

The code I posted was originally pretty much pure js, for the node stuff. But I since I have jquery I might as well make the most of it.


What's the new linkify like?

That's hard to say, but my attitude is if I'm going to ship a library with it, then I need to fully utilise it.

I know much more about jquery now, so that's going to help. When I first used jquery in linkify (version 3) I'd never used any jquery before.

The main things I'm looking at is using as few code branches as possible. That code I posted is a good example, has like 3 branches and linkifies, embeds, removes and replaces smilies. Normally it would be: if this, else that, else if this..&&..|| === && !== else while do... nightmare!

That's not to do with jquery though, that's just me attempting to put into practice what I know. So tighter and more modular code is the new linkify. Better code basically. Smarter and sexier. I want my code to say wow!
