Catch The Fish

SezginYILDIRIM

I just installed the plugin but I can't see the fish. when does it start appearing?
Beta 13

clarkwinkelmann

SezginYILDIRIM have you created a round and some fishes in the round ?

See the "Configuration" part of the README that reminds of the location of the various settings of the extension.

Released version 0.1.2 with beta 14 support and a bunch of fixes.

The extension is still mostly an example. You can now again use it as an example of a beta 14 extension using most of the possibilities offered by Flarum.

You can also use GitHub's compare feature or the replay of my live stream to see the steps necessary to get such a complex extension compatible with the new version.

I believe the extension still works on beta 15 but haven't tested yet. It'll definitely break once beta 16 comes out and removes all the deprecated code. I'll probably update the extension again around April.

clarkwinkelmann I installed the Extension and it works as I can do the settings. Desperately I can't find any fish. We have a test enviroment. There all posts are older, so i created with User A and B some Test threads. But I can't find the fishes.

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

I Set the following in Admin Section:
How old discussions can be for a fish to be placed on it (days) --> 7
How old posts can be for a fish to be placed on it (days) --> 7
How long since a user must have been active for a fish to be placed on it (days) --> 1 (this means user must be online since 1 day?)
Time allowed to place fish before it is randomly placed (minutes) --> 5
the 2 switches are active

Dany Hi Daniele. You could check in the database for the catchthefish_fishes table. The discussion_id_placement/post_id_placement/user_id_placement column will let you know where it currently is.

Once you find the fishes from the database we'll know for sure whether it's a bug or not 😇

Your settings look fine. The user activity is indeed the value of "last seen online at". I think that this extension ignores the "disclose online" user setting, so anyone recently online can get fishes, even if they have hidden their online status. If that's the case I could try to fix that to honor the privacy setting.

Dany

clarkwinkelmann Thank you very much! Our Developer (GlowingBlue) will take a look inside. As soon as I get an answer, I'll get back to you :-)

I have released version 0.1.3 with Flarum beta 16 compatibility. Just in time for next April Fools 😉

Hari

This is the ester egg extension right, in India we celebrate crackers festival it's called Diwali. instead of fish can we replace image or GIF files with crakers , bombs, rockets ? 🤔 It will be lot of fun 😂

In childhood we used to share crakers with friends and celebrate the festival.

clarkwinkelmann

Hari Hari yes it should be perfectly possible to use any other image 👍️

Let me know if there's any issue! It's not a very serious extension, but I'll publish bugfixes if needed 😃

Hari

clarkwinkelmann yes I think GIF upload is enabled.

But just like Flarum avatars, the automated cropping means the GIFs lose their animation (everything is saved as PNG). You could manually upload the animated GIF to the assets folder (assets/catch-the-fish) and update the image property of the fish in the database to point to your GIF file.

Got it 👍

Hari

clarkwinkelmann Sure I will keep you posted, this is the best extension to use for all indian festivals 😂 out of 365 days we have nearly 100 festivals (20-30 major festivals)

We can also use this extension on independence day, something like collecting badges or photos of freedom fighters.. lot more .

But it would be nice if we save that data in user profile page so whenever someone sees profile page it will look cool like they can know as this guy is a old user .

Edit - once go through this Hari

clarkwinkelmann

Now compatible with Flarum 1.0+

clarkwinkelmann I hope this helps them catch the biggest fishes in the pond 😂

clarkwinkelmann

This extension is more popular than I anticipated! 🐟️ 🐠 🐡

jaypatelani

clarkwinkelmann currently we can't change name"Fish" from admin panel. right?

clarkwinkelmann

jaypatelani you can change the translations using the Linguist extension

Everything should be translatable.

jaypatelani

clarkwinkelmann Thanks 🙂

jaypatelani

Is there a way for admin to check where current fishes are ? Also does round end date effect frequency of fish appearances on forum?

clarkwinkelmann

jaypatelani no I don't think there's any way to know where the fish are from the UI. You could look in the database and check the discussion_id, post_id and user_id on the fish table if you really need to find out. If I ever do an update I might try to add a link to where the fish is from the admin fish list.

There's no frequency. All the fish that were created are always on the forum, the number is constant. Only while some fish are in a user's basket they will be unavailable until placed or until the placement delay expires.
