Prepare... New Menu Cometh (announcements)

submitted 7.5 years ago by PuttItOut

Just a quick announcement to all subverse owners that Voat will be changing the default menu in less than a week (target is the 15th of this month).

Some subverses need to fix their CSS as the underlying HTML has changed. Cashmere on Light Theme is a known problem for example.

To change your menu from the current one (legacy) to the new one (dashboard) you can simply use a query string on any url on the site.

The HTML of the menu has been changed (top bar as well as drop down), even though we did try to make it as backwards compatible as possible by including as much of the old css attributes as possible. Please see comments in HTML.

Now is the time if we need to make any improvements or fixes to anything related to the new dashboard menu or html. Please post dev related stuff to the existing thread here: https://voat.co/v/voatdev/1689138

Thanks Voat.

I'm a mod for the pizzagate subverse. People are asking why the search bar is gone. This is the reason? When will it be back? Many thanks in advance.

Can you please add a few more arrows to point out the menu in the picture? I cannot find it. /s

Quit your bullshit, faggot.

No hope but what we make.

Fuck the money. We could hold a fucking bake sale. Censorship and shills are not the fuckin' answer.

Which is a long way of saying he's sold out.

ibepokey 7.5 years ago

oh, thank God.

i SO need this. i sub to about 40 or 50, and the scroll menu sucks BALLS.

link

Grifter42 7.5 years ago

Because Putt doesn't give a shit about the people.

link

Grifter42 7.5 years ago

Explain the claims of corruption that have been laid against you, if you seek to restore any credibility outside of your shills.

Thanks! And thanks for bug report too. It's fixed now.

Always nice to have someone do the work for you :) Thanks sug

Yes, disabling AVE fixes the issue. But now I have the issue of having AVE disabled, heh.

link

fluxusp 7.5 years ago

Same issue here, using AVE too. By refreshing the page I can see those buttons. After ~ half a second they disappear again.

link

DoomMantia 7.5 years ago

Maybe it's an issue with AVE. I only get "subscriptions", "newsubverses", "introductions" and "news".

link

A_Sensible_Gent 7.5 years ago

I've noticed sets are kind of returning to the spotlight. Can we make our own again yet?

link

heygeorge 7.5 years ago

I meant to ping you on my reply to fuzzy, but I typoed it. Glad it's working out for you!

link

heygeorge 7.5 years ago

The menu is working better than ever. I can't click away to close it, but I can click on the "subscriptions" heading to close it. I think this is sensible and provides good ux.

Uhm... there are no "front", "all", "default" and "random" buttons now. Thanks, but I'll pass.

I like the look. Thank you!

I don't know that I've ever had it enabled. I don't recall ever seeing styles on any subverse.

link

Jixijenga 7.5 years ago

Is there any hope in us subverse owners being able to disable archiving on stickied posts? Or perhaps some way to have a directory of the subverse?

EDIT: Also a character counter when posting would be sweet too.

link

Antikaon 7.5 years ago

Nice. I updated /v/osnews CSS to style the new dashboard menu. I think new menu is pretty nice even without my style, but I couldn't help myself.

I don't know what happened but thanks for doing it.

You motherfuckers are awesome.

PuttItOut 7.5 years ago

It should, but we will check. Mind letting me know what browser you are using?

@FuzzyWords, did I break this again?

link

sweetholymosiah 7.5 years ago

great change to the dash thank you!

link

EmmetMcTaggart 7.5 years ago

can users create their own sets yet?

link

EmmetMcTaggart 7.5 years ago

There should be a few style sheets you can choose from which cover all of voat. There are some nice ones out there.

link

tippyc 7.5 years ago

i like this idea

stretched_girl 7.5 years ago

If you have one you like, I think you can use AVE to apply it everywhere.

?menu=dashboard Turn On Legacy Menu

?menu=legacy Turn On Legacy Menu

Is it really necessary to name both options "Legacy Menu"?

link

PuttItOut 7.5 years ago

Good eye. Fixed.

link

SelfReferenceParadox 7.5 years ago

@Failure the link to turn on the dashboard menu is labeled as 'Turn On Legacy Menu'.

link

chmod 7.5 years ago

Putt, I'm confused. My CSS doesn't affect the default menu. I guess my question is, how do I know if I need to make any changes?

And again, who the hell is "we?"

link

PuttItOut 7.5 years ago

Turn it on, visit your sub with css, if all looks ok, then you are ready to go.

"We" is a bunch of people involved with Voat. There are always others involved with everything we do here. I can't in good faith take credit away from them by selfishly using the term "I" when talking about Voat. As has been said before, Voat is not mine, Voat is ours, and thus you probably won't ever see me referring to Voat with the phrase "I" much. Unless I make a mistake...

link

chmod 7.5 years ago

Putt, I've turned in on in my sub. The new menu works if I click "subscriptions." However, the blue arrow to the right of the word does not produce the drop-down. I'm on a shitty IE browser. Will see if it persists with another later.

Well apparently, that's how much it actually costs when you buy upvotes. And 1$ for downvoats.

"my subscriptions"

What's wrong with just "subscriptions", as it is now? Do I not know that they are mine?

link

PuttItOut 7.5 years ago

I know right. Done.

link

psioniq 7.5 years ago

That's really neat, but please do something about the default styling.

Something like this maybe.

Slayfire122 7.5 years ago

No. This'll replace the current drop-down menu under "my subscriptions" on the top left. That "more" button is now the "discover" link on the drop down menu.

link

Unless Putt changed something from the prototype vision I tried.

omfg, this looks 1000000x better. Thanks for finally addressing this; the menu cutting off at the bottom of the screen has been a super pain in the ass for as long as I remember.

Disappointed 7.5 years ago

A couple of weeks back you said you were aware of some things that needed admin attention and would address these after the sets update. Also you were going to clarify brigading a bit more. Is this still the case?

Edit:

P.S. I know there are some situations that need admin attention. I will deal with these when this update is released.

heygeorge 7.5 years ago

Turns out the SBBH CSS is seemingly ok with the new menu, and it even turns off the black top bar, just like I do about once a month or so.

@homersimpson FPH seems to be working fine for me also.

link

HomerSimpson 7.5 years ago

Good because I am too lazy to fix it

heygeorge 7.5 years ago

too lazy

Hmmmm... There's something associated with that personality trait I can't quite put my finger on... Hold it, it's on the tip of my tongue... Damn, it's gone.
