PtokaX new settings window

[CrazyGuy]

Here's my suggestion for names/pages setup

General Settings
   |
   | MOTD
   |
   | Default Bots
   |
   | Redirections ( move User limits to "Connection Rules" and Text files to  "Advanced Security" )
   |
   | Ban Handling

Advanced Settings
   |
   | MyINFO processing ( / $IN processing )
   |
   | Advanced Security ( move Description Tag to "MyINFO processing" )
   
Connection Rules ( try and see if both pages can be merged to one as they have the same topic )

General Deflood
   |
   | Limits

( try and see if 1 deflood page can hold mainchat/priv chat/login/connection limits while other page holds action settings )

Hope it's helpful  and goodluck  ;D

I guess its very fashion to create skins for everything, M$ made one with vista for example, next step will be addition of emoticones and widgets???
This topic is boring as hell, ptokax doesn't need a change of appearance, we need new stuff...

PS: Work on the transparency of the windows too, it's realy important for everybody, vital in fact.

[CrazyGuy]

Dude, if you think this topic is boring, don't talk in it

[PPK]

ptokax doesn't need a change of appearance

Ok, i will make special version for you without changed apperance... i am sure that you don't complain about not working settings in old gui ;D

[Stormbringer]

Settings and gui are 2 different things  , basicly we doesn't need a gui, the scripts are working perfectly without, why not ptokax  :
If you want I can create you a todo list with useful things, and this things are not only useful for me but for everybody but you seems to ignore them  ???

[PPK]

basicly we doesn't need a gui

You don't need, but most users need it.

[Snooze]

I wouldn't mind having a look at that list, Stormbringer...

[PPK]

Redirections ( move User limits to "Connection Rules" and Text files to  "Advanced Security" )

Text files have nothing to do with security.

try and see if both pages can be merged

They can't be merged

try and see if 1 deflood page can hold mainchat/priv chat/login/connection limits while other page holds action settings

I like more have them together, instead of split them to two pages.

Stormbringer, please cut off on your trollism.

[Stormbringer]

Snooze: nothing to do with a comment of a guy who make compilation of bot.

Bastya: not a troll, just a disapointed guy, no evolution in ptokax since so many releses now, the only good stuff who was done recently was the language pack except this nothing's new, people shut up there but many hub owners think exactly the same thing, but nobody complain because each time somebody open his mouth here all the ''team'' kill him
Just a little bit more and this forum will looks like the forum of strongdc++

You mean a compiled bot?
Well this means that PPK and Ptaczek couldn't be respected enough to make a comment - as PtokaX is compiled. (so no comment for this one...)
As far as Snooze shares a bot for free, even if compiled, that's positive, he provides addons to PtokaX that some people can actually use. Have you provided anything yet?

You seem to haven't found the changelog There's much (much) more in it.

That's enough of reality, the new settings stuff's liked by most people, what more's needed?
Only counts what PPK wants anyway  ;D

[dragos_sto]

nice work
my opinion,it is a windows project
so the windows users like to be very easy too use
like the most messengers ,on principle NEXT --> NEXT --> FINISH  ;D

ptokax after hard work of administrator on this project it grow very match
it realy easy to use whit a lot a function to protect your hub,bilt in functions
whitout any aditional script,ho in most of all cases need extra setting to work well

and not to forget people ho want to make script for own purpose or not,have
a lot of function to use to reach thei goal whit a lot of support from project administrators

my opinion on new appearance compattible whit windows themes,it dont matter for my at all,becaus on my server
thei are stoped and my xp look like windows 98 

last thing a CLI version of ptoka some time will appear ?

There are many things behind the scenes. First of all, PPK worked a lot on optimizing but not adding new features. Maybe you should propose some of your list, it will not be ignored. I never saw anyone being killed for complaining. However, I miss some featuresn from PtokaX too (Lua io.popen(), full traceback support, etc.)  but do not behave like a troll. If you find a bug, report it. If you have a problem, ask. If you want a feature, propose it. The forum is designed to help you with this. Be constructive, and try to avoid personal criticism, compilation is an own choice after all, although I disagree with it too, since there are licenses that force you to mark modificatons (CDDL for example), but I do not criticise them as long as maintenance goes. If maintenance cannot be continued, the source should be opened.
Bah, this is quite offtopic. This topic is in need of a split.

[PPK]

no evolution in ptokax since so many releses now

0.3.4.0 - New banlist
0.3.5.0 - Data compression
0.3.6.0 - Language translations
0.3.7.0 - New setting manager, that will allow most settings changeable without hub restart and in future version without gui running as service.
For you it is maybe no evolution, but in PtokaX source it looks different.

[CrazyGuy]

Text files have nothing to do with security.

I know, but it fitted there 

They can't be merged

That's too bad 

I like more have them together, instead of split them to two pages.

I would prefer them being together as well, but as that didn't seem to fit, it might mean you'll have to increase GUI size.
IF that's so, then maybe the other page can be merged as well 

[PPK]

it might mean you'll have to increase GUI size.

I don't want to increase it, it is designed for 640x480 resolution. I know many will think that nobody use it, but i have before when i increase gui size many complains about it

Nice ptokax PPK!!!
hello PPK and have this new ptokax 0.3.7.0 this lua bots -->  badfilechecker and anticlone in one ptokax bots?

it's is a idea :-)

Greetz [NL]Scooby?

[Syphrone-NL]

I think im the only one who likes this idea but i give it a go.

Maybe adding by each profile his own settings of max hubs max share min share max slots etc.

[Pothead]

Looks good PPK
The only thing missing which i could see has already been mentioned (Profile Manager).

[WAJIM]

Very unusually and inconveniently.   
The direct access to settings was more convenient.  :
Besides settings in a separate window - too it is inconvenient.   :-\

[nikita800]

1) It is awful! Not only that it is necessary to get used and accustom to the new interface of adjustments so also the heap of bugs and glitches will be after capital change of the interface anew.
2) how to close these windows a mousy?

[Madman]

2) how to close these windows a mousy?

If you mean the new settings window, simply press, save or discard

[AL?MCi]

Good Job PPk...

Maybe u can add optional welcome message for hublist pingers...
Options: Changable Message - Main/PM (Where it can send) - on/off

Thx

the new gui is awkward compared to simple tabs..
make improvements to the program and if needed add a tab for another subject.
when opening any subject, you must close it in the new gui... with the old one you can click to minimize to tray and go on when it returns the chat window or whatever will be right there..
just my opinion... ya put a great deal of work into it but to me its just plum awkward, and somewhat hard to follow
MooSe
the complainer  lol

[Tw?sT?d-d?v]

I thought the same at first ... But has in all new things it just takes a bit of getting used to ...
