Zero CMS Development Blog

Ok not a lot of content to post here other than a few fixes and updates to the system:

• Anti-flood on forum posts and topics.  Users are unable to post duplicate posts by clicking the submit button multiple times.
• A new theme has been developed and is being coded at the moment.  When the theme is finished I will get a few screenshots of it in use on the current system
• Guests are now also able to successfully post on the forum system, there is however one minor bug which I shall fix shortly.

This is why I should really post everyday, because I forget which parts of the system have been developed since I last posted.  Anyways.  Thanks to those still keeping interested.

Adios for now

Today, a new block has been developed.  It allows for you to display a single team in a block.  The team name becomes the block title and a list of the members in the team ( using their current photo or avatar ).  This can be displayed as many times as chosen, with as many different teams (even multiple blocks of the same team).  A screenshot of this block in use will be uploaded once it has been styled and fully laid out.

This only one of the planned team blocks planned for the new system.  Others include a tree list of all members in different teams and a javascript powered block which will change the teams based on an icon hover event.

In other areas of the system, I developed a new way to confirm match availability and written the basic code behind it.  This needs to be implemented to the system.

A rather short post today, guaranteed.  But all the same I feel obliged to keep followers updated on the system progress, to confirm that it is still active.

Ok, so nothing hs been posted on this blog in a long time.   A few months in fact.  I think that the break has been really healthy for the both of us working on this project.  It has allowed us to forget about it and work on our own separate things… or just simply enjoying ourselves of course.  Such a big task requires such an enourmous amount of commitment from the both of us.  Commitment we couldn’t give.  However the project lives again.  Looking over Zero CMS the last few days has allowed me to remember some of the awesome features to the system… things which I dont particularly want to go to waste.  The most prominent of which is the forum system.

Although the project is not going to explode with new implemented features from today, I, if not both of us have gained the motivation to kick start it into development again.  Any previous announcements of a release date were incorrect and the system still does not have an expected arrival time.

The blog was designed to understand the features which we are implementing, and it will be updated from herein when new features are added to the systen.  Wish us good luck.

Also I would like to say thanks to those who offered help to us (via comments, or messenger services) it is appreciated.  However we do not want to expand the team just yet.  Thanks again.
