Update, Jan 15 - Case Sensitivity 101

There have been various questions about what case sensitive searching means in the video...

In a nutshell, without case sensitivity, searching for 'Foo' would return all results containing any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters spelling 'foo', such as 'foo', 'fOo', 'foO' and 'Foo'.

However, with case sensitivity enabled, searching for 'Foo' would only return results that contain exactly 'Foo', while other combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters would be ignored.

The proxy system will only serve images when the http referer is its own host server. (Did that make any sense to read?)

What's stopping someone malicious from just spoofing the referrer?

Safes us 4 add-ons. Perfectly!

Not sure how I missed it... but really stoked on the ACP searching of templates. Searching via direct DB queries was such a pain in the ass.

Also just had an idea about the link proxy... since it has a logging system, I'm going to utilize it's logging system for the "fancier" link proxy I already use (it doesn't log the actual clicks currently).

In fact it is 5 add-ons. I forgot the link proxy.

I don't understand the function ACP searching. What brings "Case sensitive" ?

 

[Paul B]

You can search for phrases such as "Text" or "text" and each one will return different results.

It takes into account the uppercase and lowercase therefore, is that correct?

 

[digitalpoint]

The bigger part of the ACP search is the ability to (finally) be able to search admin templates at all.

 

[Paul B]

Yes @Allan.

 

[Stuart Wright]

It takes into account the uppercase and lowercase therefore, is that correct?

You've only now made me appreciate that people unfamiliar with the phrase 'case sensitive' might not intuitively understand what it means.
Yes, the search is sensitive to (cares about) the case (upper or lower case) of the letters used in the keyword(s). Hence case sensitive.
So a case sensitive search for Dog, dOg, DOg, dOG and DOG would all produce different results.

I'm not jumping out of my shoes for 1.3 yet, BUT finally, no more manual PHP edits on every Xenforo update for EXIF rotation!!!

 

[twollert]

Like the user change log... thanks!

 

[tommydamic68]

That is why it of course should be an option

Could someone explain this proxy image thingy more in depth and how/ if it will effect me on a shared hosting plan? If it does effect me- there should undoubtably be an option...

 

[Chris D]

There is an option. You can see it in the video.

Oh good.

You already have access to admin templates in the Admin CP. 1.3 brings the ability to search for content within admin templates. It is nothing to do with email templates.

I am wondering how this will work with a true cookie less cdn

Site: sociallyuncensored.eu

config: cdn.sociallyuncensored.com/data
cdn.sociallyuncensored.com/internal_data
