Talk:Patch Launcher To Allow More Icons Per Row

2009-08-15T21:46:27Z

Tuzmusic: New section: This patch is gone?

=Manual Patches and Discussion=
I know that the patches are more portable and more user friendly, but personally, I like manually mucking in the code and looking around... It seems a shame to lose the original pages that have discussion and explanation of the hacks and replace them with just a patch...

Is it only me? If so, I will shut up :-) -[[User:Sottey|Sottey]]

:We're not losing any pages, usually all the patches have discussions and explanations from the original wiki. You're also free to explore the system yourself using the information from the patches, and post your findings on the wiki. -[[User:Hopspitfire|hopspitfire]] 07:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Also, the pages are right there. Just click the page-history tab. The previous version is still stored for you. [[User:Rboatright|rboatright]] 22:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

=Bug in Coding=
Think I may have found a bug in the Pre's coding....

I made some changes and the icons were too close together and the names of them ran over each other. I looked over the code and found 'text-overflow: ellipsis;' I looked that up and found out that it only works for Internet Explorer. It is used to put ... at the end of a word that is more characters than allowed. Any thoughts on this? -[[User:Jwdesselle|Jwdesselle]]

== This patch is gone? ==

I applied this patch a few nights ago and last night my phone reset out of nowhere (it was sitting a few feet from me) and when it restarted the patch was gone! Anyone else know about this?

Talk:Patch Messaging Character Counter

Tuzmusic: New section: Manual instructions?

I couldn't get this patch to work. The Charcounter section failed. I get the icon on screen though.

You need to manually apply the CharacterCounter.js patch by editing the file. The original patch file does not work on webOS 1.1.

== RE: patch not working ==

I couldn't get that patch to work either, even after swapping in the part made for webOS 1.1; but I was able to get it working my manually applying everything. (Tip: If you don't like using vi or nano, I find there is a really easy to edit files: Use PuTTY to get into your phone, remount the file-system as rw, gain root privileges ("root -i"), then SFTP into your Pre using WinSCP; now you can open files in WinSCP and edit them with its built-in text editor which is a lot like notepad.) --[[User:HebrewzHammer|HebrewzHammer]] 21:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

== Manual instructions? ==

Seems like with 1.1 there's no simple patch to apply. Could someone be so nice as to post instructions rather than us having to apparently pick through the patch to see what was changed? Much appreciated, thanks.

Talk:Patch Messaging Change "Enter Key" To Create Newline

2009-08-06T17:34:13Z

Tuzmusic:

this is a useful mod, thx for sharing!

as for displaying the newlines and spaces in the message body, the issue is that pretty much everything is a web page. therefore you have to wrap the message text in <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tags to preserve the format. see [[Patch_Messaging_Adding_Timestamps_to_All_Received_Messages#Add_Timestamps_to_All_Messages_-_another_approach|this link]] for a solution to the problem.

This is great. I am often hitting enter by accident and sending before I'm ready, so please also include how to do the opposite of your plan: enter does a new line and shift-enter sends. Thanks!!!
