Bug Fix Update - August 2007

Hi

We just performed an update of our blogr service, in order to fix a number of issues, that kept bugging our users:

  • Updated the Story Editor (tinyMCE) to the latest Version, so that inserting of YouTube-videos should be no longer a problem
  • Fixed the editing and deletion of multiple Media-Files
  • Tags are now shared for Stories and Media
  • Added a shared TagCloud (see here for example)
  • Enhanced User-Interface for Comments

3,2,1....

Just made an update on the server to reflect the latest development bugfixes in CVS. We are in the last round before we remove the need to log in to access the alpha testing area.

What is included

  • Total rework of HTML/CSS structure for site layouts
    some layouts just made out of pure CSS are on their way to show the power of this move.
  • Videos are now transcoded into flash, and we extract preview images and metadata - this makes navigation throughj videos a lot easier and better looking
  • Improved resizer on photo list pages (smoother and faster)
  • Better looking paginator (this is the thing at the end of endless list, that is saying Page 1 | 2 | 3 ...)
  • AJAX inline editing for tags, titles and descriptions for photos and videos
  • Improved details page for images
  • too many smaller fixes to count 

What's next

  • remove stuff that can't be easily fixed (day pages, podcasts)
  • remove stuff that just seems too much (files section)
  • add some layouts
  • add an easy way to switch between layouts
  • work on admin center

help us to get rid of the last bugs - and stay tuned

Bugfixes and upcoming features

Yesterday and today we checked in some bugfixes.

The WYSIWYG editor was updated and a lot of bugs that had been introduced with the switch to TinyMCE 2.0 some time ago where fixed. We also added the possibility to paste in embed/object tags (and whatever tag you like) via the HTML button.
One problem is remaining: When you use the editor you shouldn't open the Javascript console on firefox.

We also introduced a fallback for Windows Media Player on firefox for AVI files. SO if you use that configuration - now it should load the player again.

And one more small, but important bugfix: The icon for the size control on the image list pages was missing ... shame on me!

So, what's next?

There are some exciting features in the pipeline:

  • Bodi is working on albums
  • Max and Michi are working on Flash Videos - realy cool. That will also lead to better looking
  • Me and Markus are working on the service navigation (toolbar)
  • We also work on the general layout of sites. We got a lot of feedback, that you are missing the possibility to change the layouts. The improvement of this feature will be a slow process, and we ask for your patience. It's just a lot harder to maintaine a lot of different designs, and the HTML/CSS structure for the site layouts is not yet stable enough.
