2.3 "Reverse Order" elevator behavior

SMF 2.0/RC1-2
SP 2.3

Description: Reverse Order elevator behavior

Create a shoutbox and set it to "Reverse Order."  Make enough entries that the elevator bar appears.  From that point forward, each time you enter something into the shout window you must then click on the elevator bar and scroll down to see it.

It would be better if the elevator bar behavior took the "Reverse Order" setting into account and allowed you to see the new entries without having to scroll down.

Nathaniel:
Moved to the Bugs board. Not really a support request. ;)

tfs:
Thanks.  I wasn't sure if you considered it a bug.  So many devs call something like that a design limitation.  :)  I admire your willingness to take things on directly and without hedging.  It shows in the product!

Nathaniel:
Well, it could possibly be considered a Feature Request, it depends how the devs choose to interpret it. ;)

[SiNaN]:
Well, yeah. It sounds more like a feature request. It was suggested during the development stage too. You could wait until the shouts displayed in shoutbox block reaches to its limit and it will fix itself.

For future maybe something like this to onShoutReceived() in portal.js might be added:


--- Code: --- if (reverse_order)
document.getElementById('shouts_' + shoutbox_id).scrollTop = document.getElementById('shouts_' + shoutbox_id).scrollHeight;
--- End code ---

You'll need to pass and catch reverse order option value with XML serving function too.
