[SOLVED] Community Builder 2.0.9 and 3 more releases

Hello, I am here to report some errors detected and some recommendations for future releases of the ACtivity plugin (RC2)

Errors I found :

* The videos do not play on the activity profile TAB, only on the activity menu. Only black window shown.
* The videos don´t play on mobile devices. Error message from youtube.
* You can´t change the volume of activity videos if you are in full screen mode.

* If you change the explorer size to something different than 100%, the videos don´t resize and keep the 100% size.
* If you add emoticons with size larger than 20x20 pixels, they are shown, but the text if pushed up creating a weird look of comments.
*When you create large comments, the "show more" button appears but the last line of visible text looks cropped, not too good looking.
* The tags don't work.

Request for activity version updates:

* PLease add a "refresh" button or (better) a mouse scrolling reload like some pages and android apps have like facebook for android.
*PLease add a like button of something similar.
* Allow to share playable videos from other sources, not only youtube.
* PLease allow easy access for emoticons on comments (direct button like when you create an action event).
* PLease allow to upload images on activity and store them in a public pictures folder of user like facebook.
* Allow to use special characters on comments. Example, if you try to comment only "♥" you cant!
* Create a link fo each activity to allow to share or a way to add to favorites and look for it later.
* IMPORTANT: add some activity comments, messages and friend request indicators on top of activity to make you know if somneone commented, messaged you or added as a friend etc.

* The videos do not play on the activity profile TAB, only on the activity menu. Only black window shown.

Probably have a jQuery error on your site causing a conflict, which is breaking the video player. I'm unable to confirm you issue with Chrome.

* The videos don´t play on mobile devices. Error message from youtube.

Depends on the mobile device. The videos attempt to play as HTML5 and if they can't they fallback to flash. The video playback is also entirely handled by medialementjs so there's nothing I can do about this regardless.

* You can´t change the volume of activity videos if you are in full screen mode.

Either a bug in medialementjs or a styling conflict. Not much I can do here either. Will check for a new release of mediaelementjs and see if it addresses any such issues. I'm unable to confirm you issue with Chrome.

* If you change the explorer size to something different than 100%, the videos don´t resize and keep the 100% size.

Nothing I can do about this. It trys its best to fit the display. It's not easy dynamically scaling a flash video. The scaling is also handled by medialementjs and not by CB Activity.

* If you add emoticons with size larger than 20x20 pixels, they are shown, but the text if pushed up creating a weird look of comments.

Icons should not be greater than 20x20. At most 18x18. At any rate it's just a vertical align bug and will fix in the CSS.

*When you create large comments, the "show more" button appears but the last line of visible text looks cropped, not too good looking.

That's due to the comment window being scrollable. This is gone in next release and it'll just expand the page normally.

* The tags don't work.

Works fine here. Please describe "don't work" as that's not helpful in investigating an issue. The dropdown shows your available connections. If you have no connections then type a name and press enter. If none of that is working you have a fatal JS error present on your site breaking its jQuery. Press F12 > Console to check for fatal JS errors.

* PLease add a "refresh" button or (better) a mouse scrolling reload like some pages and android apps have like facebook for android.

Auto updating is not planned for 3.0.0. It's already scheduled for 4.0.0.

*PLease add a like button of something similar.

Already planned for 4.0.0. It will not be in 3.0.0.

* Allow to share playable videos from other sources, not only youtube.

You already can. Youtube or actual video files both work. The sources allowed are entirely based off what mediaelementjs supports. If you'd like more sources then you'll need to contact the mediaelementjs team or contribute to its project; I have time for neither tasks.

* PLease allow easy access for emoticons on comments (direct button like when you create an action event).

Added feature ticket for this, but it won't be in 3.0.0 as it'd delay release too much. Scheduled for 4.0.0.

forge.joomlapolis.com/issues/5330

* Allow to use special characters on comments. Example, if you try to comment only "♥" you cant!

This should be working fine. Have added a bug ticket to investigate and fix for next release (RC3).

forge.joomlapolis.com/issues/5331

* Create a link fo each activity to allow to share or a way to add to favorites and look for it later.

Will be available when the sharing feature is implemented in 4.0.0. No favorites feature will be implemented, sorry.

* IMPORTANT: add some activity comments, messages and friend request indicators on top of activity to make you know if somneone commented, messaged you or added as a friend etc.

Won't be implemented into CB Activity, but will be provided by future planned CB Notifications plugin.

* Allow to use special characters on comments. Example, if you try to comment only "♥" you cant!

This should be working fine. Have added a bug ticket to investigate and fix for next release (RC3).

Ok, tested this one and it works perfectly fine. Both the HTML Code and ASCII Code work fine. Use either of the below with the space removed and they work.

HTML Code: & hearts;
ASCII Code: & #9829;

UPDATES!
I upgraded to cb 1.0.9 nithly release + CB Activity 3.0 RC3 + CB Auto Actions 6.3. I was having the same problems with videos no playing on profile tab adn mobile devices. I tried to add a youtube video on profile gallery and It doesnt played on activity (black window error). After a carefully review I noted that I had the gallery versión 1.0.3 instead of 1.0.5. I Updated and the problem of videos added from gallery displayed on activity feed not playing was fixed, but I still had the problem on the profile activity Tab , with ALL the videos showing a black or white window instead of the reproductor.

I was tryinig to figure out the problem. The activity Tab on profile was on the "center area" and the style "Tab horizontal (left/right)" , the same positión and style Where I have profile wall, profile book and profile blog. I tried to change the order of the activity tab to first position, and the videos started to work! That fixed the problem. That meaning, something is causing the problem on videos on certain positións and order of the acitivty tab. It only worked when it was the first element of the tab list in the same position. I temporaly fixed this changing the activity tab to 1st place.

The problems playing videos on mobile devices continues. If I add the same youtube video from profile and from activity menu, the mobile devices only plays the one added from profile gallery, the ones added directly from activity stream dont play and show weird player error (check images).

About the problem with the videos zoom not working it was fixed with 1 of the upgraded plugins or Cb nightly ( not sure). Now if I change the zoom of my navigator the videos resize correctly. I still having the problem of the volume bar dont displaying on full screen on a pc, and the imposibility of get full screen on a mobile device.

The "problem" with this kind of characters ♥ , was only when I used the "ALT+NUMBER" command, if I type ALT+3 1 heart characters appears on comment, but the publish button is not on until I add anything more or other ATL+NUMBER character . That is not really a bug but I tried to comment only ALT+3 and I noticed this minor "bug".

The TAGS always worked, the problem was that when I added a new activity stream input tagging some people the inmediate result was not including those tags. I have to reload the page and the tags appear on my activity. I think that is a minor bug.

About the auto update, I understand its no planned for this version, but you could add something like the "MORE" blue bar but on top called "REFRESH" to load the new comments when clicking on it without having to realod the entire page.

Thank you!!!

Sounds like you've a fatal JS error on your profile. This will cause the player jQuery to fail. Press F12 and few the Console tab to see if any fatal errors are present. If you're using any sort of JS compression extensions or jQuery loaders then disable them and see if issue persists.

Test the below page on your mobile device and see if it works fine there.

The ALT+COMMAND will save and display fine. The issue is the keypress event doesn't seam to be firing when you start a post with the ALT+COMMAND usage. Added a bug ticket for this as this should be fixable in CB Activity jQuery.

I'm not seeing such an issue in my tests. Are you still seeing this with 3.0.0 RC2? Do you have any form of caching enabled on your site? If so please try disabling it.

It really is not that simple. A refresh button is also confusing and would clutter the UI. Auto updating will be implemented in 4.0.0 with parameters to control the update interval.

About this bug that was fixed when I upgraded to cb 1.0.9 nithly release and CB Activity 3.0 RC3 weeks ago (I don´t know wich one fixed it, I presumme RC3). I want to notify that this bug is again present with CB 2.0.10 + Activity 3.0. Again the videos dont resize when you change the navigator zoom to more or less than 100%. As it was corrected with some of the past upgrades I can conclude that this is some kind of bug and I want to report to find a way to correct again this. Thank you guys!

EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!EDIT!!!!!!

Forget about this, it was a flash error on my navigator I tested on other navigators and the resize works fine. I activated the native flash plugin of chrome and worked fine! SORRY! GREAT JOB!
