So we will miss April 1st at this rate. The new target is release Shift as a beta by April 1st. The admin needs to be complete enough to port over to neowin.net with Shift as a BETA theme choice (with swift being the default still) any template/css updates will be worked on here on beta and then upgraded on neowin.net as a 'nightly build update'
Behold the tasks at hand: (incomplete in order of priority)
Admin/Main output Marcel + Brad Butner
Headline view is broken (possibly credits, privacy statement etc)
Add li newslink /li to recent posts output instead of a br /
Add span /span within dd tags for nav html
Add {navhtml} to Comments Page
Submit to newsdesk still not there yet
Upgrade forum to 2.15 and add all hacks
I havent documented it yet (just wanted this done quicly because of some security issues with 2.14)
Articles output (listing and
article pages, templates
)
Trackbacks page output
http://beta.neowin.net/index.php?act=tb_main&id=32387 Needs to be turned into something nice
Rate this article output (score)
- Working on this - Brad
Announcements code in admin not implemented yet (need templates for announcement output)
Send to friend + Send to newsposter (AJAX output in comments)
Quote this comment (does not show the poster who has been quoted)
Keyword implementation and output on comments pages
wap/mobile.neowin.net output (and templates so we can update/style them)
Nothing to style here, just basic text output (wml). If we want a mobile site we can create a new template set and work from that. Like http://www.google.com/xhtml
Cleanup / rewrite rss feed code (we have 3 separate scripts atm). This is also for the msn alerts
Site options output & NewsCP security so that posters can't get to unauthorized sections
- Partially done already, just need to make sure posters don't manually type in a NewsCP area, unless Marcel has done further work to this. - Brad
Enable Theme selector on Comments pages (not if it means too many queries)
I'd like to make this static so it doesn't use a query at all.
- Marcel, if it's cool with you then I'll convert it into a static, yet updatable drop down which takes no queries. - Brad
Please do
Style issues
Enable {themeinfo.theme_img} in CSS
Just use
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.php" to load the right css file. One small drawback: the css file needs to be in the same dir (or maybe a subdir of) as the templates (see shift)
Rob:
Think there might be a way around it. Images referenced in stylesheets are loaded relative to the stylesheet's location, hense the problem, but if we loaded it like
href="css.php?theme=56" we could potentially just put the directory names in the CSS (using PHP).
Add announcement box placeholder below 'today bar'
Sidemenu still needs looking at, padding issues and incorrect bordering
Code optimization and removal of defunkt CSS entries
Sprite images redone/optimized
Remove shadow on left side of the Neowin main template border
vote_bar in comments pages is hidden in the titlebar
