Hi! So version 1.0 is just about wrapped up. Of course, there's always more to do, but getting it out the door is the primary goal for now. That means fixing any bugs that would make the software unusable. Any other improvements will probably go toward a version 1.1 or higher. I'm sure that as we open this up to wider audiences more programmers will also pitch in their solutions.
But I'll make this an open thread for people to report bugs or potential improvements. List them here and we can add them to this list.
Problematic Bugs:
- If two copies of the software are on the same domain, the user IDs cross over.
Mild Bugs:
- Search Function
- - searching for "#" pulls up bizarre errors
- - searching doesn't pull up dictionary roots by their definitions unless you enter the whole phrase. For example, if a word means "land, earth, soil" then you won't find the word by searching "land". You'd have to type in the whole string "land, earth, soil", or have a dictionary where each of those three is in its own row.
- - search is showing the line break [ br ] , #, and @ symbols
- - search sometimes shows the wrong titles to entries
- - search sometimes does not show the author of the entry
Improvements:
- Post Page: Better solution for paragraphs [ br ] , one that doesn't cause yellow bars to appear when hovering over the line break. (fixed, no more extraneous yellow bars)
- Add-Entry: Adding special characters icon next to the Root Word field. (added)
- Add-Entry: Allowing dictionary roots with special characters to work all the time.
- Add-Entry: Have dropdown menus pre-filled in upon editing the page.
- Admin-Language: Supporting single and double quote tags in menu descriptions.
- Post Page: Allow admins to edit/delete posts from any user.
Extra Features:
- Deleting rows
- Adding rows between rows
- Reporting System
- Captcha feature for catching spambots
