Simple Blog Module + Reptag [Work In Progress]

shiny · Post by **shiny** » Tue 22. Nov 2005, 00:26

Just a quick message to say that I've just got a couple of bugs to iron out before release [and an RSS script to tidy up], but I'm working on stuff for an awards ceremony this week so I won't have time to release the code until then.

I hope it'll be worth the wait for you all!

P.S. Thanks for those who have offered to beta test and things - I'll be in touch when I have time!

People are probably wondering where I am with all this. (Very amusing Phpwcms acronym above, by the way

)

The reason I've been so silent is that I've been occupied in an awards ceremony event ( see here ) and then immediately afterwards an unexpected whirlwind of career-related stuff over the last few weeks (which has culminated in a job starting next year, so hurrah!).

I've received a few requests for the module, and I haven't forgotten you all. I've been playing with some sIFR support and also some nice expanding comments to enhance the frontend experience. [ Examples can be seen on the shinypixel.co.uk frontpage]

You'll have a nice release for an Xmas present.

man, the scrolling comments thingy is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

i dunno at which point you might release the new reptag, but if you can improve MORE this i just can't imagine WHAT you want to add YET!

Congratulations shiny! Hope you can use your experience and good luck with your new job! (...and spare some time 4 phpwcms)

Well, thanks very much. I'm glad you like it. It doesn't work quite so well in some flavours of Internet Explorer (IE6 on Win2000 springs to mind, where it jerks a little) but that's more a fault of the browser than anything else. Or maybe my old PC

Entry categories is the big thing for me, I'd like to be able to categorise entries [as I'll probably be making lots of geeky link entries in this new job, and I don't want to flood the blog] so that people can customise which ones they can see.

No, I did it 'manually'. I've had trouble with sIFR working properly cross-platform before, but I did get it working eventually. It's not integrated as a module, though I don't see why it couldn't be.

*jingles some Xmas bells*

did you use rico for such transitions in the comments? a friend of mine showed me this free ajax lib, and it ROCKS

definitely to implement!

No, it was the rather unbelievably tiny and amusingly-named Moo.FX from mad4milk.net. Works very well, but appears to require a minor hack to work properly in Internet Explorer, which I'll detail when I release the module.
