Spectrum Computing

Excellent! Thanks for the hard work, this database is getting better and better!

Ok, first question. If I want to remove a game from a group, for example, I want to remove https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=2778 from "vector graphics" group, how I must proceed? Seems to me that a "no group" option should be present at the top? Or a checkbox?

Another thing. Seems that it is required to upload a file, even when you're only editing an entry.

Now you can only add or edit, not remove anything.

Hi Rorthron, thanks for the feedback.

Notice: Undefined index: fileExt in /var/www/zxdb-edit/src/ZxdbEdit/EntryForm.php on line 301

Notice: Undefined index: fileExt in /var/www/zxdb-edit/src/ZxdbEdit/EntryForm.php on line 431

Ah, amendments to an existing entry files, that's something I didn't anticipate. I've added a fix that allows that now, so it should work now.

To help me replicate, can you post a screenshot along with the browser/OS you are using? Probably something CSS related.

That's what Rorthron reported earlier too, and should now be fixed.

I added four files - TAP+TZX+2xSCR, but only the last one was uploaded I guess.

Thanks for the bug report. I'll look into it. Not sure what's causing that yet.

I'd suggest making a note of such corrections using the Comments box in the "General" section for now for anything that can't be handled by the current editing form.

It's Chrome 70.0.3538.80 for Android 8.0.0. I'll try to post an image. I'll also try testing it on a PC.

It's the same on Firefox 63.0 2 and Edge 42.0.0.2741 for Android 8.0.0

At first I selected all four files one by one. And after then I pressed Save button.

If I press Save button after every file separatelly all works fine.

I can't take a screen shot, but it's as I described: the usual menu button, minus the three horizontal white lines.

I think [mention]Rorthron[/mention] is referring to this on the edit page:



Compared to this on the website home page:



It only happens on mobile view. Even though it is missing the horizontal lines I still find it functions fine and brings up the menu items when you click on it. At least in Google Chrome mobile.

Yes, that's it. It's pretty minor.

Hi! I'm going to try and start adding the Vector Graphics games changes (viewtopic.php?p=13332#p13332). There are a lot of games that are miscategorized as vector, so, in that case, since I can't remove title from a group, I'm going to leave a comment.

And I'll try to do some upload testing in the coming week. Couldn't devote much time to it recently but now it looks like I'll be having some more spare time.

Thanks [mention]Ralf[/mention]

As much testing as possible would be much appreciated. Let's iron out any bugs before we go live.

Just a reminder that changes requested during the testing phase won't be actioned. Please use email or the forum for now.

Oh, Ok. Good to know then.

Don't worry though, nothing will be missed either way. I've been getting Pav's .txt files from it, and there's other stuff already there not announced on the forum that I'll follow up.

After we're done testing, I still think the juicier MIA stuff should be posted publicly so it can be enjoyed and discussed between updates.

Thanks! I was going to do it anyway, since it is a good "real life" tests for the platform.

Interesting, seems that the URL needs the extra slash at the end (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/edit/) otherwise it is invalid.

Also, I'm trying to upload a not-so-big file (7mb), and the upload fails with this error:



Seems that the editor resets, losing all editions.

Ah, sorry, that's probably over the upload filesize limit. [mention]PeterJ[/mention] what's it set to?

For the moment could we say don't upload Hi-Res inlays to via this form. They are handled differently (I don't fully understand it). For now could you make available elsewhere online and they'll be dealt with. Apologies for the vagueness; we need to get this side of things sorted.

Sorry, another suggestion. When you finish an edit, and you get this message:


A "New Edit" button there could be handy.

Thanks! Yeah, I understand the idea is to have all that on Archive.org, but I think can be a good point to add an extra warning or just to display the max file size. This are PDFs, BTW, on a ZIP file, so, also in the future can be handy to have guidelines since the material can be very diverse.
