Question thread #17

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

How do you swap usernames on a hack?

I have the two tokens, I have two usernames under my control. When I use the swap page there's no menu for Select Journal and if I try to swap anyway I get "Error: No journal selected to swap usernames."

Edit: I can't rename a community I own either because there's no menu for me to select the community. Is this a bug or it is just me?

Might be a bug. Check in irc and see if anybody else is having the problem?

[ninetydegrees]

I did but nobody answered about this issue. Got the other issues where one couldn't create comms at all fixed though.

Hmm, yeah bug. Let me see what happened.

ETA: fixed -- thank you for bringing it to my attention -- I'm sorry for the confusion in the first place though!

Brand-new babydev here. I'm working on bug 5191. I've traced the error message to DW/Setting/sticky_entry.pm but I'm quite confused about what's going on in there.

[pauamma]

I think what Afuna is saying in http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5191#c8 is that if you try to find out why LJ::User->sticky_entry returns a false value, you'll be closer to the root cause of the error. Does that help?

I'm going to be at open house tonight--if you are and want to hash over this any with me, we can do that!
