Step two is complete.


You should not be able to submit skin updates for the optional images only.

I will have to integrate those optional images, so they will show up separately in your skin admin tool.  Once you submit for any given skin, you cannot update again, until the updates are absorbed into the system.

It's a start toward being able to fully update your skins.

Let me know if you run into errors.

Excellent news.

It may be me being dense but I can't see any way of adding the image files for a skin on the submissions page. I was expecting to click on a link for a specific skin and there would be an "edit image files" button or something. Can you run through what we do?

At the main page is a "Minor Skin Update Option",.....

unless I accidentally made it where only Admins can see it.  Quite possible, now that I think about it as that is how I would have developed it first.  If that is the case, then I will have that corrected minutes after I get into the office.

Make sure you refresh your page so you are not getting it from the browser cache.

All I'm seeing is "submit a new skin" so I guess it is still setup for admin only. I tried refresh and a different browser.

I did exactly what I thought I did.  Forgot to add permissions so everyone could access it.  It should show up now.  Sorry about that.

I plan on another update today, so if you run into any problems, please hit me with them.

Thank you.

The option link is working now but I've run into a snag. I tried uploading the thumbnail.jpg and fullsize.jpg image files for a skin but it wants thumbnailimg.jpg and fullsizeimg.jpg.

Right, I had to change the names is order for the parser to be a happy camper.  That is what the problem was before.  In order to simplify things, I had to use the same array name as the filename.  Due to other like variables being used, I could not switch to the shorter name without messing with a bunch of code used for the rest of the submission.

OK, I changed the names of the files but have hit another snag. It accepted the thumbnail but not the fullsize. It wants an image of 1280 x 720 pixels rather than the 1600 x 900 the original submissions page asked for. Is this a bug or do you want the fullsize image to be smaller now?

That is not a bug.  Had to change the size for the mobile stuff.  The large image scaled very poorly.  It is a balancing act with all the changes the mobile stuff has introduced.

Sorry about that Greebo.  Everything went out the window when Google forced everyone to be mobile friendly or not get ranked.

Its not a problem for me, its easy enough to resize the images.  I just wanted to make sure it was correct before uploading a load of them.

The first images have been uploaded, you seeing them OK?

5 sets, so far.  You should be seeing a new panel showing all the skins you have updated.  They will be removed from the "released" panel, even though they are still in the game.

Looks like it is happening as it was intended. 

On to the next update.

Nest step is completed.

You can now do a complete update to your skin submissions.

Next step is a bit more involved.  Adopting orphan skins.  I should probably start a discussion about the rules on that one.
