FastSM Client (moved to [email protected])
For those updated to a new FastSM build and suddenly having issues with notifications not displaying all of the data you are accustomed to seeing, such as post text, do the following to fix it. Open global options, go to templates tab, find notification template and replace it with this: $account.display_name$ (@$account.acct$) $type$: $text$ $created_at$
If you don't want the username then just do
$account.display_name$ $type$: $text$ $created_at$

Technical details: The reason this happened was because before a day or so ago, FastSM's notification template did not work at all. It was a placeholder value, and it was wrong. So inevitably, once it did end up becoming a working value, anyone with existing FastSM configs would have this incorrect template suddenly applied to their notifications buffer. So that was a fail on my part.

@FastSM Fortunately for me, you did explain this in the release notes when the change was made. You listed the template structure and its parameters, so I was able to rectify it. So thank you.

@brian_hartgen Of course. I'm just posting about it again because I'm noticing a lot of people having trouble.

@FastSM It's okay. At least it was an easy fix.

@FastSM I'm also having some strange problem of post content not showing up. Across list, user timelines, the main ones. It's not all deleted or edited posts, very few are. It can impact boosts, quotes, or posts with equal abandon. I can't find any pattern to it so I was hoping I'd find one to give you but ... something is broken, I'm sorry I can't give more info sadfaaaace.

@Gaptangle It's OK. I kind of sort of have an idea on what might be going on but can't say for 100% certain

@FastSM in the Mac version of the client the label for each template is not next to the template in question so that makes it harder to replace the text in the template you’re trying to modify.

@austinnix I know. WXPython on Mac is garbage.

@FastSM actually I think I’m putting the new one in the right place but it isn’t changing anything. For reference the ones I’ve got today where I saw issues were when an account I have post notifications for posted. I can’t se see the text of the post without viewing it.
