Spring Cleaning 2005

Had to remove some old messages in the PM System to avoid overhead in the MySQL Database. Will review some old codes on the login system to enable a more efficient handling of the user data. All msg after Sept 2004 will be deleted.

Thing To Do:
- User management is not coherrent within each module. Members should be able to remove all their data after they de-register.
- Limit the number of msg per user so as to optimize search speed, and prevent over-bloating the pms table.

Mambo 4.5.2 Upgrade

Upgraded MyChub.ORG to the New Mambo 4.5.2 version. This is unavoidable due to the recent security hole found in the core php coding. Also this new version brings more flexibility to the back-end administrators and promises new functionality to the site.

Few bugs also found in the login module and forum module. But this is inherent to the old version and have been patched as soon as it was found. Few users who was registering during the transition might be affected and are advised to change their password accordingly.

Dynamic Posting

Just finished adding the dynamic items in the frontpage. Thus, any updates in the MyChub Encounters and MyChub Versions will be automatically updated in the MyChub.ORG main website. This is done via the integration of ATOM XML with the mambo RSS module.

There will be a few final touch up here and there, but mainly the module looks pretty darn good for production.

New Coded Browsing Module February 2005

There is a new browsing module that optimizes and limits the categories to 12 members per page. All are lain out in a nifty table fashion so that it's easier to see. Hopefully, this will make browsing much faster and more enjoyable.

New Testimonial Module (BETA)

Just finished coding a new testimonial module. Now users can add testimonials to the chub or chasers that they like. There are still some bug which needed to be checked. Hope this will be sorted out in the next few weeks.

Members Section Updates Feb 2005!!!

I've made a new coding module for the members section. Now it's dynamicaly driven. Thus, the latest updated profiles will be seen first rather than the static ones.

Work In Progress:-
1) An easier browsing tool for members. Right now all the pages & pictures for a particular category are loaded - which translates into wasted bandwidth.
2) Limiting browsing pictures will enable a faster transfer and easier navigation for users to find member.
3) An integrated search engine for members module.
4) More salary from my boss.. want to buy that new Apple iMac (joking only la)
