I spent a good deal of time tuesday in class working on the Podcast icon in the profiles and posts, and come to find out after I finish the mod instructions, that it doesn’t work because of the profile control panel, and the way things are modularized with the category hierarchy.<\/p>\n
Soooo I spent another great deal of time WRITING my OWN code to implement this feature, and to my amazement, the code actually worked, on the first try. It’s not every day, or even every year that my code will do what it’s supposed to on the first try – especially without me knowing anything about the context in which I’m writing it. However, now that I know how to do it, I’ll be doing the same thing for the Gtalk info, and Skype info as well. And I might create a couple more “website” fields for people with multiple websites.<\/p>\n
I spent yesterday working on the private messaging setup, and found that the mistakes were because of a “switch_standalone” tag that was being put around certain parts…such that it was allowing only the posting page for the forums to access the code required to make the page work, and not for the private messages….but that both pages required the same template. So I went back and took out the standalone tags that were around things needed in both pages (I had originally went in and created a “switch_privmsg” tag to work around it, but that would have been too involved) and left it around one part that is required on the forum posting page, but not in private messages.<\/p>\n
Anyway, enough about the technical stuff (although this is the tech-source for the-spot.net), the point is that it works now.<\/p>\n
Aside from getting around the use of caches, all the bugs that I had reported are fixed. I still need beta testes to go in and break things, and report the bugs. The people that are in the forums are too scared to break things…and that’s frustrating, because when I release the site, I don’t want a repeat of tsnV where we lose people the first week because of errors. GO BREAK IT!!! PLEASE!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
