More updated modules...

I've been coding like crazie over these few days. Finally 3 main modules are completed.

1. MyPMS module - now you can click on a username and view his profile right from the inbox.

2. User Profile URL been upgraded. Now you can view a user's profile by entering:-
E.g: http://202.71.104.200/~mychub/mambo/index.php?option=com_partystaff&Itemid=68&func=fullview&staffname=gemukchub
(later I will shorten the url to http://www.mychub.org/gemukchub)

3. Partystaff bugfix - the "back" link have been changed to javascript:history.back(). So that it can better integrate with the new URL and and other modules.

MyChub.ORG is nearly complete!!!

MyChub.ORG 4.5.1a Upgrade

Finally upgraded to the latest stable version of Mambo to the MyChub.org website.
This means that :-
1. Faster - a new caching alogarithm embeded in the new version enable users to view the dynamic content on the fly.
2. Stable - fixes the security hole found in the older version of mambo.
3. Updated - latest modules develop for the mambo system can now be integrated into the design of the site.

Other than that, I've also added a search engine for member profiles.
- This powerful feature enables users to search members, view their profiles and even message users without going through the slower browsing profile method.

Finally, I've updated the Private Gallery module so that "paid" users can send virtual E-Card using the pictures within the gallery. I've also categorized the galleries into sub-galleries so that we can add-in more pictures without sacrificing the limited viewing space.

Some backend upgrade...

I've upgraded the backend of the MyChub website. Normal users will not see this, it's just a GUI upgrade for the administrators. Very nice and easier for the management of the site. The frontend of the user section will be added soon. More stuff will be added as soon as I find time for it. The site is nicely evolving to add more interactive module to the site.

I've found a rival group is copying what we are doing. Hehehe.. even bold enough to register under the ORG domain. Poorly, that's the only thing that they know how to do.. copy whatever innovations we have done. What they don't know is the technical skills and modifications that we have done to mychub. MyChub is the best because we know what we do and we put our heart and soul for the improvement the community.

12 hours later and a full night without sleep....

I've finally coded the new chat module. It's more optimized and faster than the pervious module. The new address for the Java chat module is: http://www.mychub.org/chat

The coding now is much simplified with just a nickname to be inserted... the rest will be handled by the chat script. The GUI is still pretty crude but I will work on that later... it's just cosmetic change anyway.

Along the way, I've added 4 new greeting card for the MyChub Card section.. and revamped the MyChub Models greeting card to preview Models for Year 2005. The greeting card is now complete... with 2 new raya card and 3 new models card.

I've also made some spring cleaning on the Emerge site since they are complaining that we are above quota. I mean how can I be above quota when I'm only using abt 10MB or less... there is a serious flaw in their system I tell you.

Anyway.. if I have time later this afternoon, I'll be adding a few musical flash card to the Raya card collection. Funky huh!!!

Ok.. over and krohhhzzzzzz ZZZzzzzzzz ZZzzzzzz ZZZzzz zzz zz z......

Javachat script down ! and more bad news...

Today (07/11/2004) something went wrong with our javascript chat module - the longest running module in mychub website history. I'm trying my best, to do a new faster code module for the chatroom but time constraints has a nasty habis of catching up on me.

More bad news of the site module is that Fivio had decided to enable PHP SAFE_MODE = ON. A really nasty option coz it would make the module harder to update but essentially needed to protect from malicious hackers. (Just like what had happened to Emerge) I've finished experimenting with the new Mambo 4.5.1 and was about to upgrade MyChub.ORG to the new mambo core when I got this news. Well back to the drawing board I guess.... I like the new core coz it has a few nifty features like caching options and a sleek admin design.. more controls on the frontpage design and the ability to use different template for different section of the site. Until then, we are still negotiating with Fivio over this matter and rest assured that our security features are among the best in the industry.

A little bit of good news is that Mychub.ORG is helping adikliar (one of the founder of SayangAbang) to set up a new Malaysian Bear site. It will be based on the core mychub module, with a little added creativity and new speciality modules along the way. We hope that it will be a big success and more and more malaysian programmers will join in our effort to make the Malaysian Bears Chubbies Daddies & Chasers a lively scene. We already had enuff of the bullshits and craps from the lamers you-know-who and the you-know-what groups with their lip-sync sing songs routines.

MyChub Greeting Card is HERE !!

Just in time for the festive season, I've updated the defunct MyChub Greeting Card section so that we can all share a little bit of mychub to all our friends.

New added feature includes:-
- Sending via the preview page.
- A more user friendly form.
- Instant card sent (...meaning the card is sent straight to your e-mail)
- Flash support and multimedia functionality.

Another quality chub app from MyChub.ORG

New Video Server & New Greeting Cards

As of 22 Oct 2004, I've added a new video server component into MyChub.ORG. Thus, we can now see the video of various MyChub's activities in video format.

I'm still in the process of coding the Greeting card module. Hope it will be finished by this afternoon. Just in time for the Hari Raya Season too. Keep your fingers crossed guys as there will be more to come.

Best regards

New Messaging Module !!!

Today (14/10/2004) I've perfected the messaging module coding. So that if we have sent a reply to the person.. we can see that in the page the icon turned green. Easier for us to see if we had replied a msg or not. Nifty huh..!!!

I'll promise to update the members gallery module to... but still needs time to test it.

Now with 2 hostings, I'm planning to merge those 2 hosting together to make a seamless integration. This involves running 2 website under only 1 mambo module and 1 MySQL database. This big project will improve the speed of some heavily visited section like the galleries and members section. I have not known of any site doing this before and if were are sucessful, it will be the 1st one to do it. Theoretically it can be done.

I've also tracked-down the IP of the culprit who is spreading various lies about MyChub in the Yahoo group. Also known as wan2mambo@yahoo.com and man4manchub@yahoo.com. The coward running the Yahoo Group mychasers2003. He is hiding under the IP 219.93.174.xxx.

A report to the proper authorities have been made. I am not desperate nor afraid neither looking for public sympathy.

New Sponsored Hosting !

As of today (1/10/2004), we got a sponsorship from Fivio.com
Thus MyChub.ORG is again expanding to a faster and better Server.
We greatly appreciate the team of dedicated staff from Fivio.com for their willingness to support MyChub.ORG. This is a giant leap for MyChub as we strive to better serve the Malaysian Chubs & Chaser community.

As of date, we have 2 web hosting : E-Merge.com & Fivio.com.
Which traslate to unlimited bandwidth and extra server space for our ever growing community.

This contribution of free server and bandwidth for a whole year will guarantee the continuation of mychub and we look forward to more participation by organizations or person to the club that has done so much to you....

Best Regards,

Updated MyCard Greetings 2004

Added 4 more greeting cards featuring MyChub models for 2004 (January - December).

Planned Service / Feature

So this is the current projects that I'm doing...

1. MyPMS
I'm currently doing an update module to the messaging system so that when we click on a user.. we will see his profile.

2. MyPartystaff
I'm thinking of using a redirection system to the partystaff system so that users can go directly to their respective folder without logging into the system. Like those of biggercity / faceparty.

e.g:
http://www.mychub.org/gemukchub ----> http://www.mychub.org/users/personal.php?id=gemukchub

Cosmetic Change ver 1.1

Well.. it's not the type of cosmetic with lipstick and wigs. What we meant by cosmetic is a total change in the colour scheme and overall presentation of the site.

Although the old site has a dark and gloom outlook.. the new changed template has a sharp and sleek touch in it. Hopefully it will also help to hasten the upload of the site since it's optimised. The old site is just too slow for heavybandwidth.

However, many of our patrons still prefer the old theme.. well.. I've added a poll to see what's the response.

More updated updates !!!

Well... basically what I add in was a feature to update the new members column so that we can see if anybody has updated the picture, we can automatically see them. regardless of if they are a new member or not.

Hopefully, with this dynamic feature, we can see how fast the site is moving and we can see what have been added to site without going through the administration side.

So more stuff to do..

1. Add a search function to the module.
2. Thumbnail feature ???
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Module: Partystaff
Files altered:
1. Partystaff.php
2. Sub_upload.php

Preventing thiefs...

So much I did but went undocumented. Anyway, I've added a new coding to prevent thiefs from stealing our pictures. Mainly, the moderator of Mychasers2003 which is man4manchub. They even bold enough to tell lies that mychub told them to do so. What a miserable asshole thief. Liar !!! Liar!! Liar !!!

I've work hard to make mychub a reputable site. And all they do is damage the integrity of the site. Anyway, sooner or later people will know the true nature if this and people like them can't stay long. Coz they depend on mychub either they know it or not. Without mychub, they are nothing. Just leeches and parasites. Okay.. all out of my system.

Any coders would like to contribute or make amends or a new module for the site are welcomed to do so!!
