Problems with Internet Explorer?

Ibadairon (http://www.ibadairon.net/blog/) — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:35:28 -0800

Hi. I went ahead and installed Lace on my website for my students, integrating it into my login system again like I mentioned above. We used it for the first time during computer lab last Wednesday morning.

Since I'm a Mac user, I'd forgotten a very important problem that I never got around to working on when we were using Lace on our university e-Learning website: Although everything looks fine in every browser I've tested Lace in, in the version of Windows IE that we've had at the university over the last two years, the chat message display area and the online users area "slide up and down" one another...with no pattern that I can discern...with the message area usually ending up at the bottom of the page. This jumping up and down is very annoying and considerably lessens the enjoyment for the user.

The problem, of course, is in IE's non-standard handling of CSS (I've run into similar problems with layouts of my own using float values), but rather than get into the CSS right now, I'm going to try a quick hack (in preparation for tomorrow) using a three-row table to surround the various parts of the display (top link header, msg and users display, input form). I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon how it worked, but if anyone else has noticed this problem (and even better, come up with a work-around), could you contact me by email? (Address particulars given above.)

URL cutting?

Klaas — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 02:22:16 -0700

It would be nice if you could fix lace so that it doesnt cut urls that are longer than 14 or 16 chars, its very annoying we cant use any links longer than 14 or 16 chars and none of us have to skills to fix this :(

Well...this is depressing!

Ibadairon (http://www.ibadairon.net/blog/) — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 04:32:55 -0700

Hi. I found out about Lace a while back when I was managing the English e-Learning site at the university where I work. (I'm in Japan.) I put several installations on our server to give the students something fun to do in addition to the classwork stuff. They really enjoyed it.

Back in March our server started acting up and since the university computer staff wasn't interest in helping and I was tired of serving as both website designer and administrator AND server technician (all this being volunteer work for no extra pay, mind you), I just shut the thing down and have been working on my own off-campus website. I got to thinking it might be nice to add a Lace chatroom and came by to see how things were coming along and to get the latest version. Oh well.

Anyway...if anyone is still working on the software, please contact me! I don't consider myself an expert PHP programmer, but I do have a bit of experience with hacking other people's code, ha ha. (On our website, I hacked the Lace code to grab and display usernames from our system and not allow students to change names while chatting, etc.) I have a .Mac email account under the same name I'm posting this under. Hoping to hear from someone!

any problem

i have some problems with Lace, but this forum offline now. so, where we can share about Lace agai?

I will be adding on to lace..

Jon Neal (http://rsbattlehelp.com/lace/) — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:52:27 -0700

Since its under GPL, I am going to be adding a lot of commands. It should be more like IRC with some extra features :).
I will probably release the source soon.
Just check my website, thats a link to it. I just started, so not very far, should turn out pretty good.

I'll host it, if you want...

Tim (http://flaver.com/) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 22:37:30 -0700

I'll take over the project if you want. I liked it, my wife bugged me to put it back up, and it's actually really useful. I can host it on flaver.com if you want, although I'll probably not give it nearly the attention you might have. But it would suck to see Lace stay dead. My PHP is pretty good (used it to run and sell a site that did 30 million hits a month, or about an average of a million a day) so that should not be the big stumbling block (instead, my crushing laziness will be).

I realized that I missed web development when I looked at jQuery earlier today. It's still fun if you're paying attention, and I haven't been. Time to fix that. Send me an email if you want to host this rig at, say, http://flaver.com/chat/. (This will probably end poorly -- no good deed goes unpunished)

Thanks for the code, my wife in particular seems to have an affinity for it.

I will step up to hosting the forum

Bob (http://www.bosaz.com:81/lace) — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 19:14:30 -0700

I kinda participated in your beta test!

My php is not up to par, but I would be willing to host that support page on my phpbb forum.

My hardware sucks and I suck but I really found that support site really helpful.

Let me know if you're interested?

Bob

Re: Don't go!

Brett (http://socket7.net) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 07:05:10 -0700

Lace is GPL'd, so any willing soul can theoretically pick up where I left off if they like. Though, I can't guarantee if or when that will happen.

Also, no one has stepped up offering to take over (or join) the official project.

Don't go!

Ogre of PoxShop (http://www.PoxShop.com) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 05:48:17 -0700

Dangit. I just noticed Lace was kicking the code bucket. I have a fansite that I would love to use this on, but I don't think I should for lack of support.

Isn't there anyone you could pass the torch?

I am really sorry to see the Lace project go as well as the Lace forum. If I had known the forum was to be taken down I would have liked to pick it up where it left off by continuing to host the project. Please check out my basic Lace installation for an example of this great project before it was cut short.
