    Broken images

    in Technical help

    Posted

    I introduced the smaller and smallest images in the community theme over 2 years ago. https://github.com/thirtybees/community-theme-default/blob/1.0.x/product-list-item.tpl#L14  and the commit that did them, https://github.com/thirtybees/community-theme-default/commit/77f3b8ccd1f8fbf55e438411bd1eabb55ea26d7d#diff-e459bd7ac118329219aefa38093f2d1f

    The reason was for performance, we added the modern srcset tags to the theme. We are trying to keep up with standards on both speed and html5. Not all themes will support them, but we want what we release to be as flexible and as fast as possible. 

    PayPal Tracking Update

    It looks like a great idea for an update to the module, I am just not sure how we would handle the carrier mapping. It currently looks like it supports like 613 carriers. That would be a pain to keep updated or to map carriers against. 

    PayPal Transactions -- No Details

    It was actually something I removed sometime ago to make the module stable. I can't remember where the post on it is, on the forum, but it goes something like this.

     

    In thirty bees we use 6 digit decimal precision for prices. So if you have an item that is $10 and you have a 33% discount on it, the real price is $6.666666, which would come out to $6.67. But there are so many different rounding methods people use, should they be rounded per line or per item. Like if someone purchased 2 of those products should the price be rounded off the single products then added together? Or should it be added together and then rounded? Then you get deeper in the hole when you start applying currency conversions and taxes too. 

     

    Basically the problem comes down to when you send products on an order over to paypal, paypal uses their own rounding system on those prices. If they come up with a 1 cent difference they will error out the transaction. Then that stops the customer from buying. Its a difficult system to work against, so the best fix was taking out the details. Then there is no chance for errors. 

    Forum Update

    No problem. I realize I launched this right after the patreon month started, that was kind of bad timing on my part. I had been working with a module called Give on our wordpress site for about a month or two prior planning to launch it. But then I just scrapped the whole thing, because I just didn't have much faith in it. Then I started looking through the forum features and saw that it allowed subscriptions. So that is the story on that. It seems to allow us to do everything we need to have an automated system and also show flare on different users. The only thing I am trying to figure out is how to write up a small module to list the supporters and show the total amount. I guess nothing is perfect, but I feel like this is a lot better for us in the end.

    Its only working for people that migrated from patreon so far. I am planning on making a post closer to the end of the month on patreon, so people will cancel there and hopefully renew here. I tried to set up an api connection with the patreon api last month and gave up because it was so quirky. I am trying to get the whole process automated, using this internal api from the forum we should be able to automate things easier for connecting with our repo. Sorry for the confusion / lack of feature with that for the patreon people, but the api library is just so limited and the interface is almost unworkable.
