nodebb-plugin-arma3-slotting's Issues

add tag/dragndrop system for input

think about disabling user input completely only allowing to access the presets and edit their content

Disable Slotting if Thread is Locked

disable inheritance of reservations

currently due to inheritance its not possible to have other clans in leading (parent) elements with non-restricted slots inside them.

its probably easiest to just disable inheritance, as the extra work to block every squad is tolerable.

Reservierung im XML-Frontend anzeigen

add match button duplicate

Slot-Mechanics

Admins

• Klick on free slot toggles: reserve for Event guest - reserve for myself - dont reserve
• Klick on occupied slot: prompt OK cancel. OK : kick user out of slot, cancel: dont do anything

Users

• Klick on free slot toggles: reserve for myself - dont reserve
• Klick on occupied slot: Dont do anything

Condition: If user is in "maybe" or "no" state, he will be prompted to change his status to "yes" (OK) or no action is taken (cancel)

• Dont allow editing after 20.00
• Every Slot needs at least a shortcut (string) and a tooltip (string)
• Dont allow editing while debug-boolean is set true || when OP is in editmode
  (might be extended to additional specific timeframes)

group notifications by thread only, not by thread/user

One notification by thread should be enough, we dont need 20 notifications for different users, when the notification links to a place where you see all the changes in one place anyway.

-> Group by thread, concat user names.

Saving a slotting list works only 2nd time

When adding a Breaking Contact Template, first time saving leads to an empty slotlist.

Editing, Readding and saving a second time works.

doesnt re-appear on NodeBB infini-scroll

infinite scroll:

• scroll down from thread starter
• at some point the thread starter despawns
• scroll up again
• thread starter appears, slotting doesnt

Remove optionsHandle

We do not need to set the cors headers in the optionsHandle manually, because those headers are set by the forum itself.

nodebb-plugin-arma3-slotting/lib/api.ts

Lines 248 to 257 in e36dbb6

	const optionsHandle = function (req: INodebbRequest, res: Response) {
	const headers = {};
	headers["Access-Control-Allow-Origin"] = encodeURI(meta.config['access-control-allow-origin'] || '*');
	headers["Access-Control-Allow-Methods"] = encodeURI(meta.config['access-control-allow-methods'] || '');
	headers["Access-Control-Allow-Credentials"] = true;
	headers["Access-Control-Max-Age"] = '86400'; // 24 hours
	headers["Access-Control-Allow-Headers"] = encodeURI(meta.config['access-control-allow-headers'] || '');
	res.writeHead(200, headers);
	res.end();
	};

Also we do not need the methodNotAllowed, because it will catch any requests and close the connection, before the forum can set the cors http headers.

nodebb-plugin-arma3-slotting/lib/api.ts

Lines 89 to 95 in e36dbb6

	const methodNotAllowed = function (req: INodebbRequest, res: Response) {
	if(req.method === 'OPTIONS') {
	optionsHandle(req, res);
	return;
	}
	res.status(405).json({message: "Method not allowed"});
	};

API implementation: setting slots and reservations

multiple match display broken

user setting: disable notifications

… or show notifications only if user is actively "follow"ing a thread

visualize forum groups

it would be reaaally nice if we could see the forum groups everyone is a member of.

e.g. have a toggle to switch from displaying avatars to forum groups (symbolized by color/initial letter)

Show number of slotted players per <company>

Useful for:

• comparing number of registered players to number of slotted players
• balancing teams in TvT

Edit: maybe display this under "Details" instead?

xml edit loads only on refresh

on page
http://192.168.10.2/arma3-slotting/2/match/<matchID>/edit
first time after pressing "edit" is always

Not Found

You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.

on refresh page loads fine

enable xml presets

Add xml body parser for all requests

Create Symbol for Naval

API implementation: GET/POST/PUT match structure

return users/reservations along with matches when providing extra search parameter

fix templates

german template for zugführer results in gruppenführer

fix permission rights (currently only admins see slotting tree)

make "create xml" dialog same as edit

it's possible to add several slots with the same uuid…

… yes, that's retarded.

leads to effectively all except one of those slots to be unslottable

Find solution for n^fireteams

Currently having an odd number of fireteams inside a squad sucks visually

Concept Draft

have optional slots enabled only with > N players

[min-slotted-player-count] … it's like [reserved-for], just disables the slot as long as there's less than N players.

white font on white background

white font on white background for unslotted slots if group view is activated.

reserved-for for squads results in an error

The reserved-for attribute inside a squad tag results in an error.
For fireteams and single slots it works.

More expressive error messages

Error messages like das ging schief :( are not really helpful for the user. Giving an unique error message could improve the error finding process.

Also the XML-Parser should output where exactly the xml is wrong so the user doesn't has to rely on external xml validator tools.

add support for side tag

dont display edit buttons for unauthorized users

"show group colors" is shown even when no match is present

add overlay / add solution for showing all names + slots in a list

Possible Future Enhancements

• Frequencies
• Team Type as Icon
• Enable optional description of vehicle
• Support more than one round
  Spoiler Function/hide function

wrong icon for mech inf

take care to return valid XML when getting all matches for one topic

take care to return valid XML when getting all matches for one topic

when updating a match, user/slot associations are not removed for slots that are being removed

separate from the match definition tid:<topic-id>:arma3-slotting:matches , slotting saves the user/slot associations into a hash tid:<topic-id>:arma3-slotting:match:<match-uuid>:users

when changing the match definition results in slots being removed, there is no check that removes orphaned user/slot associations.

example:

• create match A with slots 1 and 2
• user X slots into 1
• user Y slots into 2
• update match A: remove slot 1, create slot 3
• user X is still slotted into 1

Necessary hooks for CSS

Incomplete list:

• data-slot: <slot-shortcut> (MED, TL, RF, AMG, MG, ...)
• data-grouptype: <group-type> (infantry, mech. inf, armor, air, ...)
• data-level: <hierarchy-level> maybe a number is sufficient here
