Well I'm a fool and new stuff
As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I’m a little bit of a fool.
Let me paint the picture for you. I’m sat at home in my office coding away at this CMS to try to get it finished in time to go live on Bullet Magazine’s website, everything is working great on the local testing server, all the editing features work, the little AJAX sections work, everything. Now when I come out of Zend Studio 6 I open Transmit to upload the backend code to here for testing.
Well to my utter surprise nothing updated, in fact it downgraded the backend of the site to an earlier version. I was a little confused by this so uploaded again, same thing. I carried on working for 3 days uploading to get the same thing happen to me again, I even contacted the server company to check the logs to make sure it was uploading, everything 100% on the server.
Well I forgot that Zend Studio 6 uses it’s own Workspace didn’t I! When I was uploading the backend code, I was actually uploading an archived version on my hard drive, instead of the latest version I was working on. I feel like a grade A fool for that one, but we’re all good now and a few new things are coming.
I have FINALLY managed to get around to coding the commenting system, this is currently testing on my local server before it goes live on here. I may even add moderation into the system so that people can moderate comments before showing them on the website. I was thinking about using a CAPTCHA Image to reduce the spam content, but I’m unsure of which system of anti-spam I’m going to go with as yet.
Another new feature is the ability to change the content on the homepage finally. The system can now set the blogs as the homepage, the article list, or a static content page. This will eventually be controlled from an admin panel in the backend, but as I haven’t actually coded any of that panel, I control all that from the SQL command line.
I’m seriously considering using Zend Framework 1.6.0 RC2 on this site to test the Zend_Paginate component with the blog and article lists. We shall see what happens.
Well better get back to it, but hopefully there will be a few changes on here.
