Ok I was describing a bug I found, with the minimize mod, and guess what, it was there and then it vanished...
:(
another bug?
Oh well. The bug is basically this:
The minimize mod sends out too many cookies for browsers to accept. Or it can if there are too many catagories. I was throwing around ideas and looking for more or variants of ideas.
One of those ideas is storing the settings for this in the DB (why and why not?) or encoding all of the settings into one cookie (what is the size limit of a cookie?)
I was thinking the DB method was better.
I was thinking that when people connect, they are assigned an id, which is associated with a settings id in a table. The settings would all be stored there. After xx days the record automatically expires, and is deleted from the system through a maintenance script that is ran once daily.
Would that be the best way to fix this limitation? You see I am trying to work the minimize mod into a news system, and this system is designed to have 1000's of entries within it. It's not good to do it the way it's being done for the forum. I don't even think it's good for it to be done the way it is for forum either. Any ideas?
