   I hope to keep this list up-to-date so people can see what I'm working on, have finished, and will work on soon. I do this in my spare time, so there will be no deadlines or timelines. I also work on whichever one I get an idea about (so, if something pops in my head and I think I can finish it fast, I tend to finish it before doing other ones that may be more important).

   Also, I have no idea what will be in future releases of the board software, so stuff may become out dated, or drop off the to-do list if it's done in a release. We will be keeping the forum software up-to-date.

   Completed:
   Avatar made by Josh Hutchins
   Allow IMG Tags by Michael Adams (you can use <img> pic link <img /> and that / is important)
   Post Count by Josh Hutchins (as seen above avatars and in profiles)
   Online List by Thomas Klaiber (this is seen on the front page, and shows the last time someone was online in their profile)
   Limit "Latest Discussion" by Josh Hutchins (discussions will only show on "Latest Discussions" list for 1 week of inactivity)
   Rayd Forum Feed programmed by Josh Hutchins help received from Joe Goble (srsly, thanks for the help Joe)
   Member List by Josh Hutchins (Future release will add multiple pages)
   Site Options by Aditya Naik (This is an admin plugin that allows plugins to send settings to a page where they can be set)
   Private Messages by Josh Hutchins

   In Progress:
   Emoticons by Hiromasa adjusted by Josh Hutchins (Tim has taken lead on this and has a little more work to do)

   Future Projects:
   Quote Post
   Private Forums
   Visual representation of seen and unseen threads (css solution in place for now)
   Post Preview
   Signatures

   If anyone has more suggestions for projects, just let me know here and I'll adjust this first post.

   something showing the forums that have changed since the last visit.

   Can be as easy as the text is a different color.

   That way it is easy to see which forums were updated since the last reading.

   And seriously Josh you are the man. If there is anything that I can do to help with this just let me know. I could help research certain things for you or whatever. But dude, don't take it all on your own. I'm here if needed.

   And if you want to program, just let me know It's just something I'm enjoying doing, I just hope my pace doesn't piss anyone off.

   Let me get right on that programming thing.

   Can I do it with AutoCAD?

   i'd program, but without a CVS I'd probably just break what josh did.

   Pertaining to the smileys...

   Right now the listing looks quite cluttered. Perhaps a simple extra window that opens to display them if the user wants to see them. Perhaps a tabled list would be an easier method right now. Say one column of the result next to a column of the keyword that generates said result.

   Column 1
   Smiley
   

   Column 2
   Code
   :_twisted:

   Note: Code is intentionally wrong to facilitate the example.

   Yeah joe, I thought about a few different things... the popup is the goal, but to put it in a table is a lot harder than you'd think. The way the guy's code pulls and dumps smileys isn't like something I would do, and to be frank, I don't understand it.

   I'll email you the code if you want to play with it

    Give me some credit where it's due. I realize the emoticons are on the to-do list. I was simply offering what I felt could be a simple alternative to a pull-down or some mechanism that automatically places the appropriate emoticon code into the post currently being written. A handy reference is a bit easier to create than an automated service, at least at first.

    As for helping with the code, I wouldn't mind. But then again, I've been a Rayd lurker all these years, never actually involved beyond that.

    Ok, I'll email you the code shortly.

    And the plugin currently inserts the smiley into the correct spot, but since you can't see the smiley list in regular threads, it's only helpful when editing or creating a new post.

    I want you to click "smilie list" and a popup appear with all the smilies that you can click on... the code SHOULD be easy, but the java just isn't working, and I get distracted by other things instead of fixing it.

    Possible Tag Bug:
    After tags have been deleted (and thus no longer point to a thread), they still show up in the Hot Tags area of the main forum page.

    are you sure the tag isn't used in another thread?

    which one did you remove?

    The tags "2006" and "info." Clicking on both brings up a thread-less result page.

    it's just how the system works, i guess

    you can click on the tag itself and at the bottom click "destroy" to remove it. I removed "info" as a test, and left up "2006" so you could see it and see if you could remove it.

    Negative Tim. That sounds like an admin-only option.

    Forum Feed for rayd main page now working.

    It was my pleasure, my friend. I hope the code I showed you went into place without too much hassle. It looks good.

    Some small suggestions (take 'em or leave 'em):

    • Perhaps make the poster name a link to said poster's profile or personal site.
    • You might have missed that the times shown on the Rayd main page are 5 hours later than the actual post times.
    • I'm not sure why, but the times shown on the Rayd main page are not in chronological order, but they match the order of threads shown in the latest discussions list.
    • Also, consider removing the archive calendar. Right now, given the rarity of posts to the main page, it's a waste of space. (Maybe place an archive link instead?) I'm sure the visitors of Rayd would appreciate a longer forum listing over a basically-never-changes calendar.

    Just my 342798530598601972312 cents...

    Added your requests.

    I'm cool with taking out the archive section, but in its place, should I just extend the forum feed?

    I would make the poster name a link to something, but I feel that the text is so small, it could be easy to click on the wrong thing.

    I noticed the times were off... it's because bbpress maintains GMT time, but unfortunately, I don't know how to fix it. I tried a few things, but none of them worked. I tried subtracting 18000 (which is 5 hours in datetime), but that didn't work... then I tried converting it using a php function I found, but it also didn't work. I'm out of ideas for the time being. If I could get it to work, I'd like to mimic the "xx minutes ago" as on the forum front page. Anyhow, eventually I'll go through the bbpress code and see how Adams did it and try to mimic it... the problem is that he tends to call many functions from within functions.

    The threads should be in most recent post order. I put ORDER BY post_time DESC in my SQL query.

    Joe and I worked out a solution for the offset on the main page. It should look good now.
