Hi, indeed GoComics has changed its website. I've fixed it and submitted a pull request here: #39 Until it's merged and put on OpenRepos, I've built a version with the fix that you can download here: http://sthocs.free.fr/harbour-dailycomics-1.7.5-2.armv7hl.rpm
@sthocs, thanks a lot for fixing the original issue: GoComics has changed their site layout.
Side note: Kudos for compiling Daily Comics RPM v1.7.5-2, but unfortunately https://sthocs.free.fr/ (via HTTPS) permanently runs into connection timeouts for me (in Firefox and curl
), but http://sthocs.free.fr/harbour-dailycomics-1.7.5-2.armv7hl.rpm works.
As your PR #39 addresses solely the original issue, IMO this issue report (#38) should be kept open after merging your PR, until the other bugs are investigated, which have been uncovered by GoComics change:
Wizard of ID fix is now merged from the PR mentioned before.
I'll try to tackle the other issues for the next release if possible
As for 4, there is an about page at the bottom of the comics list, in a PushUp menu, with all the ways to contact me
@tardypad, thank you.
As for 4, I cannot find it, just the mentioned "Let me know ..."-button in its settings, which (also) depends on the Jolla Mail client to be configured:
Side note: A link to Daily Comics Github issue tracker (https://github.com/tardypad/sailfishos-daily-comics/issues/) IMO would be nice and cause your inbox to be loaded less.
@Olf0 The About page is at the bottom of the main page, not of the settings page as you show
WRT sub-issue 4: @tardypad, thanks, I missed that bottom push-up menu at Daily Comics main page. Testing it reveals a couple of similar issues, there:
Hence no way of contact works for me.
IMO and due to @maledictus seemingly having taken over the maintenance of Daily Comics, this should be generalised by simply providing a few web-links to relevant locations. Thus filing this as sub-issue 5.
Sure, I concur that this bottom menu at Daily Comics' main page is the right place to display, e.g. (as possible solutions of sub-issue 5):
Also sub-issue 4 can be resolved the same way: By a link to Daily Comics' issue tracker (while its text and location at the bottom of the settings page is perfect and should be retained).
I have got write permissions to this repository and I can continue development of this project but I haven't access to openrepos account and @tardypad said that he will publish releases himself
@maledictus, I already gathered this from TJC and saw you committing here: Thank you very much! It is nice to have the chance to express that properly (in addition to a +1 at TJC), but OTOH this is not really related to this issue.
But while at this topic: You may still make releases and upload packaged RPMs at https://github.com/tardypad/sailfishos-daily-comics/releases (i.e., without @tardypad's help).
I'm closing this issue which had become a list of different unrelated problems and requests. AFAICS the only problem left here is related to the handling of errors for which I just created a distinct issue (linking it to here if as a reference)
@tardypad, thanks. I absolutely agree, that this issue has been overloaded (mostly by me) with a bunch of issues, which are related in terms of user's workflow, but are technically unrelated.
Unfortunately "Wizard of ID" ceased to work 2018-04-05. Its website is working (http://www.creators.com/features/wizard-of-id) and displaying the strips from 2018-04-05 and 2018-04-06, which Daily Comics fails to display. The URL used for "Wizard of ID" by Daily Comics is also seems to be working (http://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid), but apparently something was changed there.
Daily Comics' behaviour is interesting though:
Before 2018-04-05 I occasionally experienced "❗ Error" on some subscribed comics when trying to fetch (i.e. download) them, but never when trying to view them!
Expected results:
Side note: As Jolla's Mail was not configured and used before on this device (using K9 instead), trying to report via email results in But I have no idea how to handle this better (Mimer unfortunately does not allow to set the default email application). Maybe an additional way to copy the generated error report including the email address and subject line to the clipboard (as an alternative to calling the email app with these parameters) is feasible.
Tested with Daily Comics 1.7.5-1 under SailfishOS 2.1.4.14 on a Jolla 1 phone.
