Slight Glitch in User Rides
 
Dan, someone pointed out that I have a 4 foot bore on my users' rides (oops, yep, I guess the menu option should say users' rides unless you intended for it to be a single user lookup) listings. I thought it was a typo at first, but it seems that the code that saves the data is translating a double quote to a single quote. It's on the save, too, not the reload of data.

Just thought I would let you know.

Oh yeah. Is it possible to make our last visited time carry with our user id instead of computer? I hit the site with at least 3 different computers and it would be nice if it kept track of which messages I have read already.

Yes, the User's Rides program currently does convert double quotes to a single quote. It does this because a double quote is an illegal character that will hose the data file structure. I guess I could change it so that it converts it to two single quotes though or replaces a double quote with the word "inches". http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

On the account stuff, there's nothing I can do there. The system remembers you based on cookie information saved on your browser.

Does the parser not see two double quotes back to back at a single double quote? Just curious. That's usually the way they deal with stuff like that. Or you could translate it to a C-like octal code.

No, I think it just had to do with me being lazy when I wrote it at the time! ahahahahaha http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif

There's actually a lot to the User's Rides system, which is comprised of several modules. I'm planning to redo it down the road, and when I do this won't be an issue any more...
