Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

I think that might just be the html.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Yeah, pretty sure that's the client end of the code, not the server end.

Ooh, snap. It's opening next week? Fantastic, that was quick.

It's not set in stone yet, but I'm hoping to have everything ready for a Final Beta this Wednesday. The reason I say it's not set in stone is because I have to write the most complicated code so far. I'm trying to hook up the Resources to the forum's PM system, where you get a PM if your link/article has been reviewed. It's a delicate system, and I have to be very careful about getting this done correctly, so it's going to take me a while to get just right.

Other updates and tweaks for the Final Beta will include:

- YouTube video tags that will probably enable embedding of YT videos, though I haven't discussed this with Smeagol yet.
- More complicated sorting of article lists on the category pages, tied in with...
- Recommended articles that stand out from the crowd.
- The ability for users to flag articles and links, for example to report broken links, images that aren't working et cetera.

This Final Beta should pretty much be just like the final version. The only difference would be changes to the look of everything and the filling in of category descriptions, help pages et cetera. Unless someone brings up something different that would need to be added, in which case I would take it down for a moment to add the feature.

EDIT: Over the next few days, those who have a pending article or link in the Resources will get an automated PM. If anything is off or wrong, please let me know.

Wow. Best of luck. You sound like one heck of a computer whizz.

Nope, whizz. Wiz would probably be better, but I said what I meant and I meant what I said.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Oh stop it you guys, you're making me blush. *blushes*

Anyways, this PM thing turned out to be way easier than I expected; it's already fully functional. These Resources are definitely going up on Wednesday.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Wow. I'm looking forward to it. As I've not yet had a film reviewed, do you recieve a PM when it has been accepted or turned down, the same way the Resources is going to be?

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

As far as I know, things already work like that in the Film directory. I don't really have anything to do with the coding for the directory, though.

How incredibly odd. The links are decreasing in size.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

That's strange. It looks good from here. Could you View the Source (in Chrome and Firefox, this is done by pressing CTRL-U), and copy/paste and email me everything you see there?

EDIT: Nevermind, should be fixed now.

Yup, it's fixed, good job. How did you know it was fixed if you couldn't see it? Was it just me, or was it a slightly bigger thing?

EDIT: Oh, and thanks to whoever it was for putting Seventh Sanctum into the Resources. It's a great site.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

It wasn't just you - for some reason I was the only one who didn't see it.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Hey, has anyone seen my article on X-Tra Sticky Sticky Tack?

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Nope.

BertL, is it possible to change the links so they open in a new tab/window? It's rather off-putting when I click on a link and suddenly I disappear from the face of BiM, ending up in a place where I have to exercise my finger ligaments (no muscles in the fingers) to click 'Back'.

Re: BiM Resources - Final Beta phase

Right click on the link, and select 'open link in new tab' I'm not sure if you can have your browser options set to have it automatically open in a new tab.

Nice Job, BertL.

You did not realise the point of my previous post. The reason I don't do that is because I forget [can't be bothered].
