small things

[inspireme]

I keep thinking of littl ethings that would make indexU better - i thought maybe some other peopel have a few they want to mention - im sure dody will think about including them in the next release.

heres mine... a select all/deselect button to toggle ALL checkboxes on the pending reviews/links pages

[dody]

Thank you for a nice suggession. I think it's very useful. We'll add this feature in next release.

How about sending a different email when a webmaster modifies a listing. Currently they get sent a message that says they will be issued with a link ID and password when we accept their listings - i wan tto say thanks for edditing the listing blah... I havent checked this for a while, thats how it was in 3.2 anyway.

A big small thing :

If a user modifies the listing using a ID / Password combination they probably dont have an account - therore will be unable to upgrade the listing.

How about :
Before they get to modify page (on sucessful ID / password combination) show a screen that asks if they would like to become a member of the site and manage/upgrade their listing from their control panel (also give a button that says "No, let me modify my site now" )

if they click this ask for a username and password, if they dotn have a username and password let them signup - we know what their listing ID is so automatically claim the link - i wouldnt want to make them activate the account because we already know their email address, so in theory you can now take them directly to the modify page within the control panel.

the template file is /kosmos/mail/modify_pending.mail

We have made changes since 5.2.0, now upgrading listing will be available without user registration and can be done in add url form. Check svn log for update www.nicecoder.com/svn/

Sweet

How about this one :

On the add_error page give people the option to go to the add form and chose the first category from the drop down box... I know the way it works now makes perfect sense, but i have looked at my page stats and i see a lot of people exiting on the add_error page - i think they just get confused... having said that my sites probably caters for people less familiar with the internet.

another one

When editting an item in the pending Queue :
- let me make changes to a submitted listing, as well as having the edit link button also have a "edit and approve" button
- Navigate the pendign queue using next and back buttons, to step through the edit screens.

Nice idea, we will implement it. Perhaps like category jump, but will jump to add url page with proper category.

We will implement this too. It will make more comfortable

if you keep this up in sure indexU will be the best directory script available in no time

[dody]

Thanks. We're working on it.

i jsut upgraded one of my sites to the version on the development server. very nice i have one other minor thing:

sometimes user insist on using ALL CAPS.
sometimes they insist on putting bold tags around everything.

it would be nice to have a button next to the description that got rid of the uppercase, and stripped the tags... i used to do it using javascript but i upgrade stuff a long time ago and lost it all.

To strip tags, you have it in admin panel or just edit application.php

  $enable_html_tag        = 1;
  $allowed_html_tag       = "<b>,<strong>,<i>,<em>,<u>,<pre>,<blockquote>,<ol>,<ul>,<li>";

To get rid upper case, smarty can be very helpful. Use smary modifier: lower or regex_replace.

1: Option to limit a user to one email address. Currently something can signup using the same email address under different usernames.

2: Have the ability to remove a bad link report from urlChecker report that is not broken. Currently you can only delete a link.

3: Split up the pagination option. Maybe on members you might want 50 users but on a category you might want 10.

4: Max Image Dimension and File size for individual image fields not one overall one.

everyone has huge drop down boxes on the add page etc, its often really difficult to find what your lookign for in these. How about a bit of javascript, a text box next ot the drop down that filters the dropdown box. For example on indexu.net you could type "art" in the box and it would filter to the following categories :

Art History
Art weblogs
artists

etc
