Hey up again,
To Do Lists
Added a new application called "To Do Lists". The application uses a lot of AJAX and other JS magic such as drag and drop to re-order lists, etc. Using it is more like the way you would use an application that a normal website! It's quite fun!
To activate it on your account, go to your "Account Home Page". Click "Add New Application" under the "Content Management" heading, and then click "Activate" on the to do list application. The page will reload and you will see a new "To Do List" application ready for you to use ;-)
Auto Resizing Textareas
This is a strange one. If you have JavaScript enabled all textareas around coder profile will auto adjust there height to fit their initial contents (removing the scroll bar in the process) and adding enough space for 1 extra blank line to just make it look nicer.
Resizable Textareas
Again if JavaScript is enabled most (currently 100%, but may be less in the future) textareas have a bar along the bottom of them. This allows you to resize the textarea by just holding your mouse down on the bar, and dragging it to the new height that you want the textarea to be!
I think the next cool JS trick i will be adding at some point is a rich text editor replacement to the BBCode message pad. So keep your eyes open for that update ;-)
I was developing coder cards for about 6 hours to then decide they looked rubbish and removed them! I then added custom user colours such as administrators get their username in green, VIPs in orange, regular users in the default link colour, etc. Again that was rubbish (once i had finished it) so i deleted that feature as well! Not going very well!
Profile Traffic Reports
I converted the old affiliates tracking code that i used in my admin panel for this site, to a new system that you coders can use! So you are now able to track all unique hits, and all impressions made on your profile on a daily or monthly basis! This also excludes search engines and most bots, and will not include your own hits to your profile if you are logged in when viewing your profile. The link to these reports is on your account home page under "profile tools".
Avatars - Online
When ever someone is online, there avatar gets a small water mark (sort of) on their avatar indicating they are online at this very moment.
Unique Profile Hits
The profile hits counter is now a unique hits counter and no longer an impressions counter. To be fair on those who have been on coder profile for some time i divided your profile impressions by 10 to give you your unique impressions. This is so i did not have to set your profile hits to 0 when converting the profiles across.
Profile Engine
The profiles have now been installed on to a mini coder profile framework - meaning they are generally easier to code for myself :-) resulting in more updates and more powerful profiles ;-)
Home Page
The home page has been updated and no longer shows affiliates, but instead shows the latest development blog posts.
Affiliates
Have been totally removed. The space they occupied could be better utilized and to put it bluntly, the affiliates were bringing pretty much 0 traffic to coder profile.
Thats all for this post. More updates to come soon.
Kind regards,
Scott
