Break's Amiga Demo Scene Collection WWW front-end history, v2.0.0-> TODO ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - As my goal is to build a collection instead of a database, addition of missing releases is priority #1. Working on metadata is a distant 2nd priority, and on the 3rd position is updating the web front-end. So don't hold your breath on major updates.. The items below are listed roughly in the order of (perceived) importance. - Known bugs to fix * The old "Packs in Series" feature on the Details page can fail with certain exotic prod names. After v2.7.1 this is deprecated anyway, so it is not a major problem. - Support for listing disk/archive contents, along with filesize and CRC32 values (that is, metadata which is actually usable!) * Error/missing file info regarding specific files also included - Selectable sorting of results on the Tags page - "People Credited by Group" function in the People page, accessed by the "Credited by Groups" links. Link to Group Main View, and vice versa. - Party front page with year / country selection - Imagegroup page should be made to support other modes than the group mode, e.g. tags, party, possibly also date? (In an ideal case, any search returning results in the main browser could be viewed) - RSS feeds for newly added/updated releases? (has been requested multiple times, to be investigated) - Updated graphics. I intend to keep the tool simple and clear, but 10x10 icon size is rather limiting, and not really necessary with today's resolutions.. - User registration -> customizable everything (v3.0, in DISTANT future) - Detailed saving of update history into the database v2.7.10 fri 2016-01-22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed the automated pack series fetching in details.php to work correctly with PHP 7.x, where some used functions were deprecated. v2.7.9 sat 2015-08-29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Just a minor update for bug fixes and cosmetic changes. At the moment I am considering writing the whole frontend & backend over from scratch into a modern version 3.0, it's to be seen if I'll actually go through with it :) - Font declaration in the CSS improved for non-Windows environments. No idea why I didn't notice this before, sorry. - Group Image improved in several ways: layout made clearer (though with an ugly hack) and group name printing fixed, along with some tidying up the code. - Fixed the 1st week bug in the Calendar View if the first day of the month is a Monday. Also tidied up the PHP script a bit. - Some text labels and titles in the Main Browser were improved. - Fixed some ancient warning-causing bad PHP scripts in the Main Browser and the Group Image view. - Improved the Batch File Editor in the back-end to display cracktros and trainers more clearly. v2.7.8 sat 2015-02-14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - I recently noticed that at least on the most recent versions of Chrome, the prod date column caused strange rendering errors regarding table row height. I believe this is a "feature" in the browser engine, but decided to implement a small hack to fix it nevertheless. I also adjusted the CSS slightly to improve the clarity of the tables. - Redundant links to new and updated prods on the top of the Main Browser were removed as you can easily access them from the left-hand menu anyway. - Tool tips in the Main Browser updated to be more readable. - Some improvements in the Detail page title bar wording. - Lots of code cleanup in the Main Browser, invisible to the end user but should make it a lot easier to edit the script in the future. - Many improvements to the Prod Editor in back-end, making editing of existing prods a lot more clear. Also fixed a bug in file size insertion/modification which could potentially lead to faulty data being inserted. - The Batch File Info Editor tool in the back-end was updated to correspond to the file info database changes of v2.7.7. - Made improvements to the layout and usability of Pack Editor and Batch File Info Editor in the back-end. - Lots of minor code clean-up within the back-end tools. v2.7.7 tue 2015-01-06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - The major update in this version is an overhaul of file name and directory info storing in the database. This should be invisible to the end user, but it simplifies things a lot in the back-end. The Details page and related back-end tools have been updated accordingly. - The article-reformatting introduced in v2.7.6 was improved, bug-fixed and greatly refactored. The Group Image browser was updated to also use this functionality, as I apparently forgot it in the previous update. Oops! - "Multi-File" renamed to "Archive" in order to be more descriptive. - Details page section titles have made less ugly and more human readable. - "Updated" view renamed into "Updates". Huge change, I know :) - Code cleanup done on the Details page. v2.7.6 mon 2014-03-17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Printing of group names and titles which contain articles was made to look a lot less ugly, while preserving correct alphabetical ordering. Implemented on all pages featuring this content, unless I forgot something. Searching in the style of "the something" doesn't work yet though, as I got lazy. Bug fix coming sooner or (most likely) later.. ;) - City made visible in the People browser. - Improved the layout of the Series editing page on the back-end. - Fixed some ugly and warning-causing PHP script on the Stats page. - Some minor code cleanup here and there. v2.7.5 sun 2013-06-09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CRC32 information for prods with over 4 disks are no longer shown directly on the Main View, replaced with a link to the prod's Details page. Made this change once I saw how the the 13-disk musicdisk Dance Diverse 2 looked with all the data exploded around the screen.. :) - Proper row splitting added to multi-disk file infos on the Details page. v2.7.4 fri 2013-05-10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Certain long-overdue database improvements have been made. These updates reduce the amount of required SQL queries considerably on the Main View, and to some degree also on the Details page. This should make the pages in question load faster and ease the burden on our server. - Back-end tools were also updated to reflect the database improvements. - To further increase the performance of the site I disabled the "Active" column on the Group Browser, at least temporarily. The implementation was just way too slow and heavy on the database server for such a trivial feature. I'll look into re-implementing it in the future, let me know if you really miss it. - Implemented a more uniform notation in the Main View tool tips. - Found some badly written legacy PHP in the rarely used Copy Credits back-end tool, now fixed to look all nice and tidy. - You guessed it: the usual general code cleanup and refactoring done in various places. v2.7.3 mon 2013-04-08 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed a bug in calling a date field constructing function on the Details page, which was flooding our server with PHP warnings. Oops again :) - Also updated the Parties and Person pages to use the same date constructing function as the Main View and the Details page. Consistency! - On the back-end, made an additional improvement for the title predicting algorithm of the Batch File Info Editor. v2.7.2 mon 2013-04-02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Replaced the Series table in the Details page with a Series list, linking to the Main View. This makes the Details page less bloated and lot faster to load in cases of e.g. large pack series. - General code cleanup and optimization in the Details page. - In the back-end, the Batch File Info Editor now provides automated suggestions for prod names, when inputting a file listing. This should encourage me to add all that missing file name and checksum info, eh? :) - While I was at it, improved the layout of the Batch File Info Editor as well. - Also in the back-end, the Tag Editor now correctly updates the prod tag count when editing tags. The count is used to reduce SQL load on the Main View. v2.7.1 sun 2013-03-17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Deployed the Series feature for related products, which was started in v2.7.0. Series are now visible on the Details page. If the prod is a pack and no series is found, the old "Pack in Series" table is used. One prod can belong to multiple series. - Series mode also added to Main View, with a link from the Series table on the Details page. - Back-end tools for Series editing created. - Fixed the Main View titles when browsing by release date. - Removed redundant information from the Person page. v2.7.0 fri 2013-01-25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Viewing of productions for a certain month or day in the Main Browser has been implemented. Related features: * Dates in the main field act as links to a list of all releases on the given date * Date links similarly on the Details page * The listing in Main Browser contains a link to the same month on the Calendar, and vice versa. * Day numbers in the calendar also link back to the day in Main Browser. - Tags are now visible on the Main Browser, if a prod has them. They're visible by an icon and a tooltip representing tag count. The implementation is particularily light on SQL abuse, a first for me! ;) - Tag count is now visible on the Details page. - Created a separate PHP file for general purpose functions. - Started the implementation of a Related Prods feature in the back-end, this will be finished in the next version and made available for the front end as well. - As always, some code cleanup was done. - Tried to test the new features, but nasty bugs may remain. Will do a fix update if necessary, we'll see! v2.6.5 wed 2013-01-09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed issues regarding character conversion. The web page now outputs UTF-8. Changes were done both to the front-end and back-end tools. - Added tool tips to the icons in the main browser's Info column. Say, why weren't they there before? v2.6.4 sun 2012-07-21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Improved the design of the bulk file info editor on the back-end. That's right, no front-end changes in this version. v2.6.3 tue 2012-03-13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed a serious bug in generating a certain type of SQL query, sometimes causing our server to freeze up. Oops! - Also squashed a rare occurring but annoying bug on the Calendar page, causing the first days of certain months not being displayed. v2.6.2 mon 2012-01-27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed the Text viewer, caused to fail by a recent PHP update. - Fixed the text preview function on the Details page, which failed on certain combinations of characters (usually ASCII art). - In even further text fixes, corrected a fatal bug in the Text Browser potentially causing infinite loops. Oops :) - Fixed a bug preventing sorting parties by country on the Parties page. - Also for the Parties page, made some small visual improvements. v2.6.1 mon 2011-08-01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Accidentally broke Party search in the last update, when no country was selected. Now fixed. - Also got rid of a fatal bug in the Text Browser search, causing the page to enter an infinite loop when hitting certain results. Oops. - In even further bug hunting, I corrected a flaw related to the Text Browser preview, which sometimes showed erroneus results when searching for text. The code still fails on some rare occasions, related to text items not written in a conventional way (for example lack of space characters). I will figure out an improved algorithm for a future update, this is OK for now. - Search strings in the Text Browser are now highlighted. I'm investigating the possibility and usability of adding the highlights to the main Text display as well. - Added the much requested Longest Scrolltext Top 10 on the Stats page :) - Improved the Stats page code and squished a tiny bar drawing bug. - Corrected a number of layout inconsistencies on the Groups, Parties and Tags pages. v2.6.0 sat 2011-07-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Much requested Text Browser and text searching functions have been implemented. The browser is still quite basic, and will need to be updated with e.g. subpages once there is more content. For now, it works. - Exact search mode added to the Quick Search. It works with the searches on the Main List, as well as for Groups, People, Tags and Text (where it will surely be highly useful :)) - All quick searches are now done using the single search boxes on the top of the page. No more confusing double boxes, as the top one did the thing anyway. The category also updates automatically if the user is on a page other than the main view. This may be confusing at first, but not for long. - Parties are now searchable by country as well as year on the Parties page. - The search boxes on the Parties page have been moved to the right side. - Current day is now highlighted on the Calendar page. - Fixed the search order on the Tags page, it is now alphabetical as intended. - Fixed some broken HTML in the Tags page. Oops. - Accidentally reported the wrong variable as the exact release count on the Calendar page, fixed. - Tiny design improvements made here and there. - As usual, general code cleanup and security fixes done here and there. v2.5.8 mon 2011-01-17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Displaying both prods and parties on the Calendar page is now vastly optimized. Less SQL queries, much faster performance. Some ugly looking code remains though, so there's still room for improvement.. - The Calendar page now spots extra statistics, including release count, a party list and a listing of most active groups. - Calendar layout improved and made more consistent with the general design. - Also made some other minor fixes and updates to the Calendar page code. - ID:s are now visible in the Party, Group and People Browsers. - The current year is now pre-selected in the Party Browser's navigation box. - CSS updates, fixing some layout bugs and inconsistencies. - The new File Info Editor on the back-end was further improved regarding usability. - The Pack Content Editor on the back-end now correctly modifies the the pack's "updated" date upon insertion of new content. - Also fixed some minor bugs in the Pack Editor. This marks the first change to the page since 2005, perhaps I should go through it with more detail.. v2.5.7 thu 2011-01-06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Parties are finally visible on the Calendar page! Wohoo! - As a smaller update to the Calendar, the currently searched month is selected by default in the month selection boxes. - Added more options to Quick Search: people, parties, tags and groups in Group Browser. Related redirecting code for proper pages was also created. - Alternative handle search in People Browser was horribly broken: for example, if no results with the main handle were returned, the alt handle search was completely omitted. Ouch. Must've been real tired or drunk while coding that one. This is now fixed. - Fixed the order of People listing after performing a search. People are now sorted by handle instead of updating date. - Also fixed a bug with person count after search. By, er, removing it completely. Will investigate how to sensibly implement this in the future. - As a small bonus.. If alternative handles are found via the people search, they are highlighted by bolded text in the People Browser. - In the Main Browser, the display title for Parties was not displaying properly. Fixed. - Some tiny improvements to the Stats page, cleaning ugly PHP and non-uniform category names. - Fixed some ugly PHP code on the Details page. Should not affect functionality, but looks less embarassing :) - Code cleaning also done on the Calendar page. - Tiny layout update to the Details page regarding the AGA tag. - Some layout updates also made to the back end Prod and File Info Editors. v2.5.6 fri 2010-12-17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - A much improved insertion tool for file info (filenames, CRC32 checksums, exe size) was implemented for the back end. It parses the stuff directly from a file/crc listing, requiring very little user interaction. This should speed up file info addition for existing releases quite a bit. - Word wrap on the Text Viewer works again. I had accidentally broken it when fixing the special HTML character replacement. Both work fine now and texts as well as ASCII art look readable :) - The Text Viewer no longer displays the "Show All" link unnecessarily, only when there are more than one texts linked to a prod and the user is viewing one of them. - Listing of Tags starting with 0-9 was broken, now fixed. - Dupe handles no longer appear in the People list thanks to their alternative handles. - Small updates to the Details page layout regarding text listing and errors. v2.5.5 sun 2010-10-31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This was supposed to be 2.6.0 already. As I did changes which caused big improvements on the front-end side first, I decided to release them to the wild right now and then continue working on the more complex back-end updates. The next major update should not be far then (famous last words!) - A new two-column layout has been created for the Details Page. This marks the largest update to the Details layout since ever. It might require some getting used to, but should be worth it in the end. - Person page layout updated to better match the Details and Text layouts. - Browser-style legend headers added to Details and Person pages, for clarity. - HTML entity conversion added to Text Browser and the text preview on the Details page, to prevent problems with certain special characters. - Links to specific texts added in titles of the Text Viewer, if multiple text files are shown. - Show All -link also added to Text Viewer, when a single text is shown. - Fixed the Quick Search category bar's ability to remember the selected option, as this had broken down in some prior version. - CSS modifications for a more unified design v2.5.4 tue 2010-09-14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - New default views added for several browser pages. * Group Browser: most recently added groups. * Person Browser: most recently added people. * Tag Browser: Top 25 tags. * Calendar: Current month minus 20 years. - "Errors" icon is now also visible in the Details page's pack series list. - Fixed a bug in several browser views' title displaying, resulting in 0-9 displayed while searching for something. Group and Tag browsers were affected. v2.5.3 sat 2010-04-10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Controls were placed in the Text page for switching between normal (reading friendly) and tight (ASCII gfx friendly) line spacing, as well as the option to force text into lowercase for improved readability. These features were requested by some frequent users, hope you like them! The line spacing option reportedly doesn't work with IE, so you shouldn't use IE then. As usual, everything is tested to work on recent versions of Firefox and Chrome. - The Text link on the main Index browser now leads to txt.php showing all texts of the prod in question. - Printing out a date in the Index, Details and Person pages now uses non-breakable hyphens instead of the standard one. Doesn't sound like much, but seriously improved the layout. - Stats page tweaked a little, now containing a non-limited Top 10 Credited Releases category and Distinct Tag count. The top-addition-days counter was also replaced with stats for insertions in the last 6 months. This was done because the original list was never updated. The amount of metadata in my db has increased tons from 2002-2003, so I'm not breaking any speed records any time soon.. - Tag editor heavily improved in the backend. - Fixed some PHP oddities in the ancient sub-page code in the main Index browser. v2.5.2 sun 2010-03-21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Prevented searches with string smaller than 2 chars. Previously an empty search string resulted in all results to be displayed.. This affects the browsing pages for Groups, People, Parties and Tags. You can still search everything in the main view, decided to still allow it due to the sub page system preventing large loads. Useless feature but someone might like it. Let's call it a hidden part :) - Fixed a credits sorting bug in the Person page: credits ordered by date were not sorted properly. - Somewhat more ASCII gfx friendly line spacing in the Text page CSS. Works fine on Firefox and Chrome in Windows, should look good on any other modern browser too. It's a bit worse than the default for reading text, but you win some lose some. I might make a selector for styles at some point in the future, at least after introducing user accounts and preferences. - Tiny PHP fixes in the Groups page. v2.5.1 sat 2010-03-13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - What do you know, looks like most of the new features have not been broken after all. Which gives me a change to do small but useful improvements instead of bug hunting. Yay! - Text page layout greatly improved. - Amount of prods with credits now seen on the Person page. - Credits sorted by date rather than group as default in the Person page. - Anchor added to the credits box while switching modes. - Anchor also added to the credits box on the Details page. - Small improvements to the Details page layout, to make it a bit more uniform (?) - Credit-related stats on the Stats page! Not much content yet to gather statistics from, but there you go. - Order of format stats in the Stats page also updated. - Small layout improvement in the People menu, regarding the "Credited By" list. v2.5.0 sat 2010-03-06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - After a hardcore coding spree on a Friday/Saturday, here's the first MAJOR update to the WWW front-end since ages. Lots of new stuff, some still incomplete and some horribly broken. Read on for details.. - The first thing you'll notice is the totally new left hand side vertical navigation bar. This required major changes to the structure of the entire page, but the result is lightyears ahead the old solution. And among other benefits, it facilitates adding new links a lot better than the old mess did. - People browser has been implemented. Country parameter in search as been disabled, as it was wreaking havok on the alt handle searches. Will look for a decent technical solution later when the feature is more crucial. - Tag browser has also been done. I'm not 100% happy with it currenty, so dramatic changes probably will occur.. - Finally, a party browser of some sorts is also available. It actually sucks and I hope to improve it in the future, but at the moment content is more important. - Simple group search added into the Groups page. - Fixes and improvement to the Calendar page. Smarter linking, more readable output etc. - Cosmetic changes to the Quick Search bar. - Details page design and layout improvements - Tons of code fixes to remove PHP warnings and errors clogging up server logs - Countless small fixes, as always (but even more so this time :)) - The logo was worked a bit to fit the new layout. I'm keeping the glenz though, as AFAIK I was among the first people to use it as a symbol of an old scene -related website. Nowadays those things are all over the place.. Innovate, don't imitate ;) - As this is the first MAJOR update in a long while, with tons of new features, there are probably a million bugs around. Feel free to report any, I'll fix them as soon as my schedule permits. v2.1.3 thu 2010-02-18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed the Index page so that sub pages work correctly in the Tag mode, when a tag is applied to >50 releases. - The layout of the Details page was improved, with tags being moved to a separate box and ugly HRs removed. - Improvements made to the CSS file to improve clarity of Details pages, as well as text pages such as News and FAQ. - Small update to the layout of the title bars in the Text page - Yet another security fix, this time for Quick Search - Also more small random fixes, reducing PHP warnings etc. v2.1.2 sun 2010-02-07 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Updates and fixes for the Stats page: Tag related stats, Docs exclusion when excluding packdisks, etc. v2.1.1 mon 2010-01-11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Tags implemented! No functionality for searching/browsing yet, they can only be accessed through the prod pages. More functionality will come, once there is enough content.. :) Adding tags will probably be a user-level feature once user stuff is introduced some time in the distant future. - Major bugfixes to the Credit editor in backend - Small fixes and updates here and there v2.1.0 wed 2010-01-06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Lots of small random fixes and updates that have amassed in the last few months, haven't even written many of them down.. Enough for a non-beta version, finally. - Sorting by date added to person.php - Tweaking of txt.php, still needs some work.. - Calendar.php has had a major rework, it is actually somewhat viewable at the moment. Might even add it to the top menu at some point :) - Fixed a small bug in displaying party information - Some new stats in stats.php - Tons of more security updates, thanks for the lovely injection attempts <3 v2.1.0b7 tue 2009-10-27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Cosmetic changes to the Details page and the Txt page, which is now somewhat useful at last - Also added a disclaimer for the Txt page, since I'm such a nice guy and all v2.1.0b6 fri 2009-09-04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Fixed a small bug causing the subpage system to fail with current server security rules. No more 403 :) - Made some cosmetic changes to the Details page v2.1.0b5 tue 2009-04-14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Quickly hacked sort functions for the main view, finally! * Seem to be bug free.. * Sorting the "new" page not functioning, at least yet. Maybe never. * Ugly hacks in the PHP, surprise.. Focusing on the content ;) - Party title now visible as a party icon tooltip everywhere but party view - Active years column implemented in Groups view * SLOW implementation, could be improved by moving everything to a single query (but how?) .. A simple solution only works when there are no unknown year (= year 0) releases for a group v2.1.0b4 wed 2009-04-01 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Changes to the Stats page * New category (most packed releases) * Some small fixes v2.1.0b3 fri 2009-02-06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Text display system partially done, not sure yet how it will be implemented (regarding sensitive info, future user accounts etc) v2.1.0b2 mon 2009-01-05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Credit sorting/grouping by author in Details page implemented - Proper Random Prod link with HTTP Refresh tag v2.1.0b1 tue 2008-12-09 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Quick Search vastly improved * Uses HTTP GET * Supports subpages for results - Useless full-list subpage system removed, first letter links now lead straight to the group directory - Imagegroup.php links and layout improved - Improvements to the Detail page design - Countless small changes, fixes and improvements.. - Power Search currently disabled, until I can improve it. v2.0.6 sun 2005-06-05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Credits implemented. No real contents yet though, but see id 9266 (Rolling Ronny cracktro by Skid Row) for an example. - Credits icon also added to the main table, though it will probably be removed around the year 2020 when all releases have credits in the db.. :) - Very basic version of the person info page done. The group relation tables do not exist yet, and they'll require some effort to be implemented.. So there's not much info to be seen yet. - Details page updated with "Release Info" header, and the lack of an empty block when there's no screenshot. - Packs in the same series from the same group are now listed in packdisk's Details page. - Errors in pack result in "possibly incomplete" notice at the contents section. - Also some FAQ updates.. Ngh, I'm spent. Time to take a break. v2.0.5 sun 2005-02-27 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Group browser done. It's still a bit beta, but more metadata and such will be added in time.. - Update view done, with simple navigation. Any more would only be redundant. - Quick search now available all the time, and the menu is also visible on the Details page. - The menu layout is also smarter now. Might still have some horizontal space problems as it fills out though.. - Added CRC32 to searchable information. v2.0.5b3 tue 2004-10-05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Had to remove the target=x -attributes from the links, since they don't work on my Firefox anymore. So everything opens in one window now. Gotta change the whole logic a bit and insert the top menu to the details page soon.. v2.0.5b2 tue 2004-10-05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Removed AGA column from the main list and replaced it with an icon in the Info field. Also replaced textual error flags with an icon. Details-page updated accordingly. I'm not perfectly happy about how it turned out, but it'll have to do for now. :) - Party icon also added. - Fixed some ancient bugs in the Production Editor. v2.0.5b1 sun 2004-09-26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Releases related to a party can now be listed. The party list page is still missing though, since I haven't had the time to insert all the date & location info. So as of now the only way to reach this feature is from the party links at the Details page, or guessing IDs of course. :) - Some very minor tweaks, mostly relating to date printing on the index page. - You guessed it, more stats! :) v2.0.4 sun 2004-08-22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Replaced "Disks" with "Format" on list & details page - Updated Stats page accordingly. - Tweaked metadata order in Details page, should be more logical now. v2.0.3 fri 2004-07-30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Added group links to the details page. It kinda messes things up because you'll have 2 main windows on your browser for a while.. But it was requested, so it's there. - Details page design was also tweaked towards perfection. - Screenshots by Group -page now only shows items with screenshots. They're also linked to the corresponding details page. - Fixed the sorting when using "order by date" in power search. - Added new Stats subpage with monthly insertion statistics. You can never have enough stats! :) v2.0.2 thu 2004-07-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - CRC32 info added to production details. Not many inserted yet obviously, but here are some examples: * http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/break/amiga/details.php?id=2829 * http://www.arabuusimiehet.com/break/amiga/details.php?id=1307 - Last update date also FINALLY recorded. No idea why this feature wasn't implemented before. - Missing addslashes-"bug" in quick and power search fixed, which means that searching with special characters will work again. :) - I removed the Contents-column from the main table to make room for the CRCs. The Content-icon is now displayed in the info field. It's a useless temporary thing anyway, as eventually ALL packs will feature content info. - Yes, more Stats categories! \o/ v2.0.1 sun 2004-07-04 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - The Group Screenshot page is a public feature from now on. Don't abuse it! You can find the link next to the list title when surfing in the exact group ID mode.. - The Group-shot file itself is quickly fixed legacy from old version, and I wasn't supposed to have those online anymore.. Oh well. I'll redo it when I have the time. It's mostly an internal whatchamacallit anyway. - Added links for top10 groups on Stats page, thanks to Sakke for the suggestion. - New Top10 Groups Excluding Packs -category also in Stats. :) - The quick search now remembers the selected type, as requested by Toni. - Fixed an IE-only bug occurring with the searches. Thanks again to Toni for this one! I must admit that the fix is pretty ugly, perhaps I'll improve it some day.. There are still some IE issues to deal with, but quite frankly I don't really care, as the browser is pretty much being run over by superior products (read: Firefox). I'm not one of those fanatic anti-MS-geeks, but since there are better alternatives.. - Some nearly invisible tweaks to the Details page. v2.0.0 wed 2004-06-30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - New pages build completely from scratch, except for certain minor snippets taken from v1.x. Slightly less awful PHP, potentially faster SQL and far less 1995ish HTML. No major visual changes to the design though, since I still like it and have received so many positive comments from others as well. - The most notable new external feature is probably replacing the Javascript Screenshot window with details.php, which not only shows the shot but also all other info regarding the product. Pack contents are also displayed if they exist, and the whole thing looks much better than the old image.php. - Power Search is improved, with the ability to choose where the desired string occurs in the findings. - Quick search was also modified to include an optional box for search target definition. (whoa, that sounded all cool and militaryish) - Btw, the amount of searches is now limited to 250. - In v2.0 it's also FINALLY possible to get exact URLs for exact groups. Now why the hell didn't I implement such simple but necessary feature before? - The "All" browsing mode had to go. Who the hell needed it? Furthermore, if you insist on using the alphabetical browser you'll be delighted to see the sub-page system is rewritten. It's still a bit wacky, but far less horrible than in v1.x. - The stats page now sports cool copper bars and a whole lot more of unuseful statistics. Yay! - I decided to toss out the Wanted section, as it wasn't really necessary. EVERYTHING not on the database is sorely wanted. - Naturally, there are plenty of internal changes not visible to the public user. For example the screenshot directory structure was changed, as 6000+ files in one dir tends to make things rather.. slow. - I also completely remade the pack contents table. The original idea was just plain wrong, and this one should be much less stressing on the server. With slightly more readable code, too! What's even better, this allows easy and fast viewing of pack contents in reverse. You'll see that as "Included in packs" on the details.php. - And naturally there are tons of bugs, oversights and illogicalities about. Looking forward to fix them all up.
