some questions since I'm playing around with development tools to pick up a few things and decided to make a rudimentary ilx client as a test:
1. is the 'api' that Zing uses the only api available? it seems like the login is the ootb login page and then you get the cookies for the rest of the requests2. the rest of the calls are just xml versions of threads/posts. is that right?3. all auth is via cookies?
my initial idea was to recreate the backend and gui in one app but to speed things up (since I'm learning all the frontend stuff on the fly) I was going to wrap all the existing API calls in a modern rest api returning json but... hrrm

I can return JSON if that’s what you prefer but yeah it’s the auth etc that will cause all the grief. What platform are you building for?
― stet, Tuesday, 28 January 2020 09:59 (eleven months ago) link
nbd really! just curiousIf that sounds about right, I’ll see how long my attention span lasts in experimenting. I was messing around in Flutter/Dart and was going to do a quick c# backend (something I have existing experience in) to get things rolling faster.

hey is there like a bug submission type thing if we find a thread that gives a "Problem reading messages" error saying that Zing can't read old/corrupted messages? it's this one btw: Maurice Fulton...best tunes by him

You can start a thread on Mod Request, but I'll sort this one, thanks
― stet, Wednesday, 10 June 2020 21:25 (seven months ago) link
Should be sorted now. Also, mh: now have a non-cookie-based version of the auth API, if you're still playing about

my home coding is all work-related now but that’s cool news!

Just curious why the app prevents you from pinching / resizing images ?
― calstars, Monday, 13 July 2020 20:18 (six months ago) link
It’s not so much that it prevents it, it’s more than I don’t know how to enable it! Time to copy and paste random things from StackOverflow dot com again

update on my search problem:at some point I discovered that search actually does work fine for me when I do it on the bookmarks page. the issue I described back in Dec and Jan is with searching onone of the board pages. so basically I’m good as long as I think before I search.

Hey, stet, poss. I missed this upthread but are you aware poll results aren’t showing? Not the end of the world as I can pull them up on Safari and I’m not sure if it’s only a problem with older threads. But I’ve noticed it a bunch when searching through various poll threads of late.
― Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 11:27 (three months ago) link
Have you got some examples, please? All the ones I've looked at so far are working OK for me
― stet, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 11:48 (three months ago) link
I'm thinking it may be the same issue reported earlier:
ime (13.3/iPhone8), threads that are polls do not show poll results when you select them through search― willem, Friday, January 17, 2020 10:12 AM (eight months ago) bookmarkflaglinkYeah, that's right.

i can't remember if i've said this before but trying to save an image from zing results in an instant crash.

x-post Take your time it's no big deal for meTalking about pictures, would it be possible to allow for zooming in on pictures when selecting a post?
― willem, Wednesday, 7 October 2020 15:51 (three months ago) link
^ mentioned previously, I think stet said it's just a matter of putting in the time to make this possible.
just yesterday I tried to zoom in on a fan at a baseball game eating a tremendous bag of popcorn (to no avail)

The workaround is to bookmark a post from the poll thread and then open it from the bookmark if that helps
― stet, Thursday, 8 October 2020 18:00 (three months ago) link
Yeah that works, thanks!
