Well, the last time I said I would have a release on such and such date, I didn't get it out and it was subsequently two weeks before I could get back to work on it. BUT, I am hoping to have something this weekend, but don't hold me to it. Things are topsy turvy around here my way.
Ok, another update. I just got through adding in category sorting, so you will now be able to sort the MAIN categories however you want, instead of the default alphabetical sort.
I'm working on the ratings and hot links now. If you want to take a look, go ahead, but none of the code for these are done, but you can at least take a look at the html and tell me if the layout is OK. Oh, did I mention I ain't done yet?
I thought 6.4 was going to have a calendar? Anyway, you'll be happy to hear that I'm almost done. I am working on the favorites now. This next update will include the following:
Hot links / Popular links. Choose how many hits before a link is considered hot.
Newest links. Last x number of links to be added. You choose the number.
Favorite Links - this is what I'm working on now. Basically a member just add and remove links to their favorite links.
Category sorting
Admin additions are auto approve when adding links.
Top rated links - members can rate a link from 1 to 5 and then top x number of top rated links are displayed
I did some other stuff but I can't remember what I did here at work.
All of the above is complete with the exception of the favorites, and of course the language files and install/upgrade script. There are some db changes with this. Please try out what I have so far at http://www.fish-tails.net/dev_test/ubbthreads/links.php?op=Links and provide feedback. Some items will require being logged in such as ratings and such.
Thanks for the reminder. I've added it in. The reason you couldn't test the test site was because I was probably running tests on the install and upgrade scripts (there are database changes) when you went there, so I was adding and deleting cats for the last 24+ hours. I'm going to package it up in the morning and post it. The only thing is I didn't have time to update the language files. Seeing how this will be a BETA release anyhow, and there's quite a few people waiting to see what it is, I figured I'd release it without finishing the language files and get some feedback on this release. I do believe this is nearing a point of coming out of beta status.
