JR's BiggerWheel Adventure 3.11.05
Dev Tidbits
Friday, March 11, 2005 by Flyin | Discussion: Developer Journals
It's been a busy and exciting week for so many reason!
Let's start with bug fixes since we(I) tend to create so many of them!
- We had a report that if you post a link within your article that contained a "-" it would break the link! That is now fixed.
- People who were posting on the forums who didn't have a Wincustomize personal page could not edit his/her post. That is now fixed.
- When Deleting/Hiding/Locking/Sticky-ing a thread, the post would not automatically reflect this when viewed in the forum list. Fixed
- When adding/removing a comment from JU Forums, the Replies # would not reflect this change. Well now if will, but after 5 minutes or so after the sync occurs and the cached article expires.
- The NewsItem Query for the mainpage took longer to execute than normal. Added a flag within the procedure to allow for quicker response time.
- Job to update RSS Feeds on JU wasn't working. Looking at the wrong Database
Features Implemented
- Let users change his/her honorific.
- Show Download totals at the bottom of the MySkins page
- When viewing a post in the JU Forums, if the post is also an article, then it displays a link to his/her blog site.
Misc
- Did a total of 4 different Tests and uploads to the personal pages for bug fixes and features.
- Did 3 different Tests and uploads to the Main WC site for bug fixes and features
- Assisted T-man in helping the beast come alive! Transfering data and changing sites to point to the new beast
- Did alot of analysis of the personal pages in attempts to make the site much more speedy!
- Articles were being cached for 20 minutes, now only for 5 minutes. This change will have to be uploaded next week.
- Late Wednesday night, found the bug that was bringing down WC. Good ole' Arithmatic Overflow!
Some Goals for next week:
- Create a system for creating static pages on the fly which the personal page can benefit from tremendously
- Implement performance enhancements to the personal pages
- Start the process of creating a moderation system on our forums as well as Skin library.
- Performance Ehnancements, Performance Ehnancements, Performance Ehnancements, Performance Ehnancements
That's all i can think of right now!
Happy 311 day

I second that observation.
Nice work, JR. The honorifics, while probably the least of your tasks, are a big hit.
