Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

If you want to submit it that'd probably be best.  It's gonna have to be individual links.  I think some of it's in there, but not the complete version I had showed you back in the day, since we changed to a dynamic, editable format since I had mocked that up.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Sorry you guys, looks like university meddled with my plans yet again. I technically have nothing to do next week, so I'll work on fixing everything for the second Open Beta this week. Open Beta 2 should be here in a week from now.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Slightly dissapointing, but nothing you can help. mini/wink

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Someone may want to update the date on the Resources page then.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Yes, well, I haven't had enough time to work on fixing all the issues for the second open beta. So I'm sorry the only code monkey for the Resources is a busy bee? mini/smile

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

It's just like LEGO Universe, they pushed the release like 5 times[/exagerate]
So then everyone was left clueless about when it would actually release.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Not much to update about as I haven't done any work on this (shame on me). In my defense, I am going through a couple of busy weeks with my uni study. I should have weeks of free time starting in a few weeks from now, though, so I am going to work on the second Open Beta (with fixes to the original bugs and problems).

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

shame on you. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

So now that my exams are over I've been able to code the Resources and I must say, things are going way better than expected. The next Beta will have fixes to most of the issues found in the first Open Beta, and it has a structure that implements draft saving and a better preview mode. I've thrown away the more flashy form that was there before because it was loaded with bugs and didn't work at all. Instead I coded a more simple form that is easier to work with.

The system will work a bit differently, too. Regular users can only edit their own drafts. Users then have the ability to submit their draft. Once a draft is submitted and accepted as an article by a Resources manager, users will not be able to make edits to their article. This is to prevent vandalism and such, and to keep quality control even tighter. Users will be able to update an article, however: this means writing a new version. But just like drafts, this updated article has to be accepted by a Resources manager before the public can see them. This draft mode will not work for links: links will still be submitted to the Resources directly.

The next Open Beta will be this Sunday, January 30. This Open Beta will be a (structurally) fully functional version: this means that apart from some small changes this will be the Resources as they shall be in their final form. I still call this an Open Beta because while the structure is completely finished, Resources managers will still need to be appointed, help files need to be written et cetera.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Awesome! I do have a quandary though, Bert. I recall that I submitted a tutorial right before the resources closed, but to my knowledge it was never reviewed and put up with the other tutorials. Will it still be able to be reviewed, or do I have to go back and re-post it once the resources re-open again?
