/* ===September 20 2008===*/ * Fixed a minor bug where an error was reported to have happened when changing your password, even if there is no error. /* ===January 22 2008=== */ Notes: * Been quite some time since I've done anything, and I'm afraid that's going to continue to be the case But, I am working in my spare time on the new error handling I've been talking about for a while.... Minor Functionality Updated: * Updated the email regex checking, so hopefully it won't kick back any more errors about that. No idea why the old one wasn't working, but I've verified that this works with *most* emails that you would come across. /* ===September 8 2008=== */ Notes on Update: * It's been a long weekend. Only two words can sum up why no work was done in the last 3 days: Work and Spore. I have a feeling it's going to be tough for me concentrating on anything this week... at least, when I'm at home. Bugfixes/Noncriticals: Minor Functionality Updates: * Search results now display any notes associated with a chocobo. This should finish up all the notes things that I had in mind when I started this project, though I know a few will argue I'm missing something. As I said in the last update note, I don't think the database would let you search for notes the way I want them to be searched, so I'm just leaving that off until I can come up with something. Then again, if nobody really wants it, I won't worry about it. Major Functionality Updates: Known Issues: /* ===September 4 2008=== */ Notes on Update: * I'm not going to upload ANY of the changes that have to do with the mail system until I know for sure it's ready for release, since at this point it's highly unstable, not to mention utterly useless to most people. But, the beginning framework is there, and that was the toughest part. Bugfixes/Noncriticals: * Cleaned up the database a bit, now it's smaller and more efficient. Hurray effieiency! Minor Functionality Updates: Major Functionality Updates: * Finished up the rough display for the mail system. Known Issues: /* ===September 3 2008=== */ Notes on Update: * Finished the major functionality on adding notes to the system. Took a fair bit of trial and error, but it does work. Any errors, as usual, should be reported to me in some way -- http://bugs.chocobreeder.com or the forums would be the best way to report these errors. Also, don't be afraid to make suggestions on the forums. Just don't expect much in design changes since (as it might be obvious) that's not exactly my forte. * There were some minor functionality problems earlier, which were quickly resolved. The only thing that is left that can be done with notes is to add a search for certain notes. I'm not sure if this will ever get done since I'm honestly not sure if the database can be searched the way I'd like it to be, but we'll see. Beyond that, though, the notes system is completly done. Bugfixes/Noncriticals: * When adding an entry, if you went back to edit the entry (before it was entered in the system) the note would combine into the chocobo's name. Minor Functionality Updates: Major Functionality Updates: * Notes are now visible on the browse page and the "My Chocobos" page. Notes won't display if there aren't any to be displayed. * Notes can now be edited for existing entries. To remove an existing note, just set the field to blank and it'll get rid of it on all pages it's displayed on. Keep in mind the characters are restricted in the notes. Right now the following characters are allowed: a-z0-9()\.,!#& plus space. Please keep the comments appropriate: any chocobo with a note that isn't appropriate will be removed. Notes are also limited to 75 characters, which may be increased if it's needed in the future. * Notes are added to the chocobo when confiming deletion (semi-useful, but mostly for completness) Known Issues: /* ===September 2 2008=== */ Notes on Update: * One thing to keep in mind, while looking over the errors that have been reported: please remember that a chocobo's name shouldn't contain any spaces (enter it as it appears in the game) and that a chocobo only has one owner, so the character name should be the one who holds the VCS registration card. * For the most part, this is a "getting back in the groove" update, and I hope to make these more often in the future. Hopefully some new features and database modifications will help out users a fair bit. Bugfixes/Noncriticals: * Email during registration now accepts underscores ( _'s). Sorry to those who couldn't register because of it. * Timouts for some of the cookies used in the functionality of the site have been increased to 10 minutes. Not necessary, but it makes me feel better. They will all be changed as I get to each page doing other things. For those who may be parinoid about these cookies, they are removed when they are no longer needed, and it always has been and always will be that way. * One or two very minor HTML output fixes (just to make the source look pretty). * Added a notice box to the bottom of the sidebar to alert users to things, like these updates. Minor Functionality Updates: * Started to remove old (defunct) code related to the old database setup from a while ago. New database setup hasn't been causing any problems, so this code isn't needed anymore. * Setup some backend framework for a messaging system. It may take a while to get it together, but so help me, it will get done. Major Functionality Updates: * You can now add notes to a particular chocobo when you enter it into the system. However, for now no notes will be displayed on the main page, and you can't edit them. These will all be added as I get more work done on it. All the notes entered for now ARE still saved, and will show up in the appropriate places when those areas are complete. Known Issues: * Under certain circumstances, errors may show up where they aren't needed. Often these errors end up classified as "fatal" and are treated as such when they shouldn't be. I'll be looking into improving the error handling in the future.
