eZabel Updates to Come

iwz by iwz · Dec 27, 2001 · eZabel · 174 views

Sorry guys, eZabel was just down for about a half hour.

Reason: I modified the database to include Journals. I now have to write some code to support it. You'll be able to make each entry public or private, and you can allow/disallow comments on each entry. I also tuned a couple of things, and added a few more columns that I've been wanting to add for a while. For instance, I can now make a poll assigned to a news story, and polls can now be approved so that anybody can add a poll and then I can pick and choose which to post. Code still needs to be written for these features, so something might show up in the next few days.

Another feature I have the ability to implement now is User Preferences. This will allow you to customize things about the site, and maybe turn on or off certain sections or categories of things, as well as possibly ignore anything posted by a specific person. This will come hopefully soon. I just need to figure out a good way of coding it.

I've also added in a new feature which I will be testing for a while before I go live with it. It has to do with this "tons-of-musings" problem. So, we'll see where this one goes. Don't expect anything soon, though.

To contribute to the discussion, please log in.

Hey ian why dont you set up something like msn where you are notified when someone comes online/ u recieve emails.

You could have it where you can have ezabel running as an icon and we are notified when someone signs in or a new musing/comment/story is posted.


Just an idea and its prob reaaaaaaaaally hard to do,
and im prob not making sense - oh well

g.f.s.rocks g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

Yes, you are right you make absolutly no sense.....
