HomeWelcome to the coding portal for e-troop.net, I will hopefully be documenting my work over the next few months as this site comes together here. Feel free to register and make comments. Errors can be submitted on a special page, coming soon. If you are interested in viewing the design and code theory I wrote out as I went along, please visit the Site Abstracts page. Actual functions and classes can be viewed on the Code Docs page, but all code will not be posted for security reasons.
Thursday, June 5, 2008Phew.... I just finished an epic battle with PEAR's Date class and timezones in general, but I came out victorious! I still don't understand how I managed to do it, but a lot of tinkering ended up with me not having to touch the input unix timestamp and setting the timezone = Canada/Mountain, then switching it to the user timezone. Saturday, May 31, 2008Unrelated to the main project, I have set up a Drupal installation at http://e-troop.net/sandbox to showcase my other random creations. I have created the CSS style for news items, but I have yet to add functionality to them. This will include latest news for the troop homepage, a troop news homepage, an area to create new stories, and an area to edit existing stories + delete unwanted stories. Monday, May 26, 2008I finished the TCP up today with the exception of the settings tab, now I'm starting on the troop homepage content. From there, I'm going to do the news section + comments, then events + rsvp, and then picture albums. Sunday, May 25, 200811:39PM ends my coding marathon for today. I have successfully burned through everything in the Troop Control Panel with the exception of changing registration settings. That means permissions for both groups and users work, you can add new groups, change a user's primary group, view members of the troop, and approve requests to join your troop. Next up I need to add the ability to delete non-primary groups, deny join requests, add the My Troops section to the nav menu, and then start on the actual features. Sunday, May 18, 2008Today (and yesterday) I've been working away at both the TCP and UCP. Editing permissions for users is now completely working. Before I started work on editing permissions for groups, I thought I should take care of the task of letting users search for and join troops, which is now completed. Users can search by country and state, and optionally by troop number. They are then presented with a list of all matches that they can then choose to either enter a join password (if one is set), or request to join. I've also done some work regarding the .htaccess: everything troop-related now has pretty URLs. ... Read More (117 words) |
