Chickensoft

Posted by ElPolloDiablo, May 1st 2009

Hi, the last couple of days I've been looking at a lot of things I want to implement in the new Chickensoft website. Although I already started planning the creation of a new site back in November, shortly after becoming an independent contractor, I haven't really done much. There's a lot of things I need to do to get all the things I want working.

Here's a small to-do list:

Colour the new logo.
Design the site
Clean up databases and add new data
Create a blog system that connects with the forum
Implement Akismet for the blog
Implement Bad Behavior for the whole site
Purge the forums
Implement Gravatar in the blog

That's what I have for now, the blog system is also going to be fully multi-lingual, meaning support for more languages can be added to the blog and blog posts and comments can be posted in multiple languages.

By the way, I changed avatars in the forums to use Gravatars (www.gravatar.com), that's it for now.

We've just recovered our database from a crash. This affected the main site, the forum uses a second database and was not affected. If you've been by the site, and have been getting error messages, at least now you know why.

Well,
it seems Chicken Soft is about to become a real company. I'm going to register as an independent contractor soon, as I've just started doing subtitling work. I have to start thinking about redesigning the site, and properly defining what kind of work I do. For now, things will stay this way, but I'll most likely change the site to a more professional design, and change some things, removing rude from the roster among other things.

Well, I have to think about what needs to be done though.

Hey, you might have noticed there's member login stuff on the pages now. I've coded the website so that you can log in to the forum right here. I've just got to look into fixing some minor stuff in the forums to get this to work properly. Among other things, if you log in on the actual forum, and you've been to the main site, you will be redirected back to the last page you looked at on the main site when you do. Also, I want to have a proper link back to the main site on the forum, although I've added one to the forum news, I'd rather have a proper link somewhere. Preferably the main logo or something like that. Also, I'll have to add some stuff that's specific to the main site for user accounts. Thus, linking together the forum database and the main site's database. For instance there are already users setup for all the administrators in the main site's database. Now, I'll have to either link them together, or start moving stuff from the main site one over to the other one. It would probably be easier to just link them together though.

If you are interested in the development of Starcruiser Classic, please stop by the Starcruiser Classic thread on the forums. Would like some feedback on the idea for the weapons systems I've got in mind. Whether it should be just a simple pick up a power-up and get a better weapon, or buy weapons and mount on the ship system.
