Tag Aliases/Parents

Xen 2025-01-23 General 0 views
Certain tags (adjustable by mods and admins) now have aliases and parents. Aliases basically act as synonyms or common misspellings of a tag, so if there are multiple words that could mean the same thing they will show up the same in searches and also get blocked if necessary.

Parent tags are a system similar to how e621 works; if a tag has a parent, it will also be added alongside the tag. This is for when a tag implies something else, like 'watersports' implying 'urine', and just helps to catch edge cases where someone might forget to add a useful tag.

Let's do an example - if you block the tag 'two', which is an alias of the tag '2', it will be treated as if you also blocked '2'. As '2' has a parent of '1', it will also block anything with '1' and its alias 'one', and so on until there are no more parent tags.

Fixed unconfirmed pawprints not showing up to the user who needs to confirm them. Oops. Also fixed an issue where some pages were broken due to my bad coding.

Fixed a possible XSS issue where HTML was being rendered in pawprint comments.

Updated search to actually work with multiple word tags and it now properly searches for parts of tags instead of the entire tag! (e.g. 'pika' will show you 'pikachu')

Manual Draft Saving
After some recent issues I've made a decision - drafts will no longer be automatically saved. Instead, much like a drawing program, there is a save and load button. The save button will flash when you're able to save (to stop people from just spam saving the same thing), and this will save a draft like before.

If you were wondering why the site was slow before, the auto saving drafts accounted for most of it as some bots/rogue individuals decided to exploit it to almost crash the entire site. This solves many issues (such as drafts not saving correctly/at the right time) and lightens the load on the site quite a bit.

Polls!
I've added a poll system to journals, meaning you can now hold polls alongside them :3 it's not fully tested, so things may go wrong.

To help test, what is the best?

Marks Gifting/Tracking
If you click the marks count in the top right (the lil' heart) there's a new page for gifting marks to other users. You can also see a new transaction history with marks - ones coming in and going out, with a new option in the privacy section of your settings page to make them all anonymous in others transaction histories.

In addition: marks are now permanent. You cannot unmark a pawprint once it is marked, to stop any issues occurring where you give away all your marks and then someone unmarks and leaves you in the negatives.
