This week I implemented the star rating and cluetip on the test site. This took some messing around with html and a little bit of php, which I’m just starting to learn.

(you can actually go to any story page on the test site and see this, I’m using this link just as an example)
The rating [...]

This week I’ve created some more js.
I couldn’t get qtip to work so I found cluetip. However, it doesn’t look as fancy and rounded corners are only possible with images:

Here’s a tutorial I found for integrating it with php and ajax for whoever is putting it all together:

I also found a fix for the bug [...]

Week 5 complete… essentially 2 weeks left.
There’s a lot of work left to do, but it’s getting complete steadily. We’ve got our list of to-do’s and everyone’s on task.
Still left to work on:
Many of these are halfway there and simply need to be tied up and finalized.
- Story Joining Algorithm
- Story Rating Algorithm
- Friending
- Approving [...]

This week was spent mainly working on the Browse page.

It was a bit of a pain to code — it’s got to keep track of all of the form values for it to be truly functional, which meant a lot of checks made to make sure [...]

First off this week I worked on the profanity filter after reading diego’s story that says a ladybug lives on a giant “fuck”. The code was disabled so the profanity did not return as “rainbow”. Creative…

About 2 hours of [...]

This week, I spent a considerable amount of time trying out the test site and creating a list that I found while exploring the site.
I also sent a flyer out to Glen so that he could inform members from the English department letting them know that we were beta testing.
I also finalized the song, fixing [...]

This week I spent 4 hours testing the site - then parse errors started coming up everywhere and testing was cut short.  Revision list here.
Also racked my brain for useful people to test the site.  Most notably I contacted the webmaster for the gaming website PlanetDA.net who will hopefully put up one of Frankie’s banner [...]

I put in another good 20 hours of work this week. I finally got to a ton of little fixes I’d been meaning to for a long time. I compiled a bunch of feedback we got from the face-book page, the walls on the BETA site, and from some of the testing our [...]

This week I was assigned to continue the marketing work. I have posted 20 flyers around campus and have begun communicating with my past English professors about the site so that they can inform their students. I also added a story start to the site, and will be adding more in the coming [...]

3 weeks left…
My work this week started early on, for the release of the “beta” stage of the site. The biggest improvement was the addition of the AJAX-loaded contribution view on the right side of any story that has contributions to view. This took about 3 hours to implement, which was a lot less than [...]
