Hi all, hope you're doing well. No second update last month, as I've been out of action due to my worsening illnesses; not a big update this time.

Account verification system

I've finished making the verification system for users, and now the submit artwork and submit comment forms check for the verification status before allowing their respective content to be submitted.

User Follow Lists

I've implemented much of the code needed for users to have lists of follows, so that there's both a following feed for all users they follow, but also any number of lists they can make, which don't necessarily require them to follow the user with the main follow function, similar to Twitter. The templates and gallery functionality are done.

When testing lists, I realised the current gallery SQL code doesn't correctly query the database for the oldest reblog of a given artwork, due to a limitation in one of the JOINs. I've fixed this by using subqueries in the main SELECT statement, though how well that approach will perform with lots of database entries is hard to tell right now.

Misc / Bug Fixes

  • Fixed video controls on the Display Artwork page not being correctly aligned with the video until the page is resized.
  • Fixed title overlay text not clipping correctly if it's too long for the container.
