Greenie Says A Little Piss Is Good For Ya

[T Pat]

Walrus I know your going to have a good laugh over this and please don't say I told you so.
These ass bites can not be as stupid as they pretend to be and they keep deleting my posts on their board so I'll post the PM's that have been going on between us since last night here.
enjoy

Wrong I have been waiting since Saturday for Dawzz to fix the bugs in the phpld news script so that I have search engine friendly URL's, my pateince is running thin. Look at all the unanswered posts in the forum that is terrible customer support.
Have you no pride.
Dawzz admitted to me today that it's a bug in the script. Selling software that doesn't do what you claim it will do is called fraud where I come from

Thanks,

You need to cheer up if you want us to keep helping you. We haven't asked you for a cent, and you have already received support from Dawzz (rebuilding the category cache). He is going to be doing more today when he returns from a meeting. We are on it now.

Thanks,
David

I am going to give a breakdown of what was done.

The category on details page as a case of missing code in the detail.tpl .

I have downloaded the latest zip and the code is there so I can only assume it overlooked in your release(?) or removed when removing the escape

here is what is is supposed to be:
<td class="smallDesc" align="left"><a href="{$CATEGORY_URLtrim}" title="{$CATEGORY_TITLEtrim}">{$CACHE_TITLEtrim}</a></td>

here is what it was

<td class="smallDesc" align="left"><a href="{$CATEGORY_URL|trim}" title="{$CATEGORY_TITLE|trim}"></a></td>


In regards to seo urls the category seo urls were working as soon as I rebuilt the cache.
The feed detail page (not post details page) was never working as there was never any seo code for it, Not sure if it was intended to work like that or not. However, that being the case and the fact you obviously expected it work like that I have created the code as well as having it use the feed title in the url. So it looks like this:

Let me know if this is acceptable to you.

I don't understand why you would not think Search Engine Optimization on the post detail link was not as important as on the feed detail link.
Take a look at http://www.rssnobrainer.com I had that script custom coded and asked for all links to be search engine friendly.
I'll gladly pay you a reasonable fee to upgrade the copy of Newstopica I have running to phpLD News to compensate you for some of your time, but I feel David should pay you to write the code so that all links are search engine friendly because that should have been done before the product was released. It just doesn't make sense to have some links search engine friendly and some not.

Who'd a thunk that someone would ever use | followed by the word "escape" in a thread

It should be:

<td class="smallDesc" align="left"><a href="{$CATEGORY_URL|escape|trim}" title="{$CATEGORY_TITLE|escape|trim}">{$CACHE_TITLE|escape|trim}</a></td>

Ya I'm laughing but I tell you I've had my fair share of fun with them jokers.

I really think I have one of the very first copies of Newstopica and if you really want to have some fun I bet I have a copy of it somewhere in my archives. Back then they couldn't understand why I would want people to submit feeds and not just links to their blogs so I could go and get the feeds. Plus it would blow chunks after about 5 feeds.

Wasted 4 good days with the script and think I finally told David to fuck off or something similar but less friendly

Remember when David posted on GreenGuy and Jim that he had Newstopica for sale and mentioned your name in his plug?
I had been looking for a good aggregator script figgured if it was good enough for Walrus it was good enough for me, I bought two copies on the spot then ten or fifteen minutes later you replied to his post and blasted him for using your name and made it clear you were not a satisfied customer, it's been all down hill from there

why do the pretend to be so stupid

My main goal is happy users and I strive to help everyone asap but at times I have to dig thru the code to make sure that something isn't there and I have overlooked it. If the way I have it is ok with you let me know or if you have a different idea let me know. The way the script works we have to have the -number-number as that is the id and fid .

I remember that well. It really pissed me off that he would even act like I'd recommend the script. Especially since Oast had bought a copy and he was complaining about the same issues and being told something totally different from what I was being told.

I'm first from their head programmer, that's not a good sign. also shows David flat out lied "We have had some pretty positive feedback so far."
