Updates

When you've added summat put it here at the top of the list.

• page title updates to tell you how many new messages have been posted in chat when the chat screen doesn't have focus.
• now get system messages when someone logs in
• header redirects based on access rights to certain pages -> do this with user level and a database call? maybe can do it all in user object
• classes are secure & cannot be browsed to
• all standard pages (ie, not classes) are secure now. need to do class dir
• added a logout method to the user object and rationalised all the user redirects.. if a user is not logged in they cannot access chat... have to login as guest to be able to see owt without an account.
• created a logger class
• ajax now uses post to send messages
• user prefs should work right
  • added 'extra scripts' to prefs to allow us to put some fancy bloatware in
    • uber matrix thingy in top right
    • cliky the tool and links menu (the actual heading thing) to contract/expand it

New Functionality

Stuff we want to add.

• add extra navigation to history? view by day etc
• need to style login, register & prefs page
• streamline database conn code... where objects are pulled out of the session the methods need the dbconn passed in
• frameless version
• alterations to iframes
• restricted access to various links and sections
• online user list thingy
• look into compressing the xml output? theres a big lag at refresh
• private messages!
• preference to block system message output

Bugs

Eek shits broken!

• the wonderful history page is broken and not showing more than the first 50 entries
• frameless version is just plain broke
• need to make history & commands take preferred style
• ajax seems to drop messages sometimes
• ajax doesn't display £ correctly (shows as ?)

Fixed Bugs

Woot shits fixed!

• iframe version doesn't show toolbar
• need to make prefs link break out of iframe properly
• register link broken (was actually a bug in template class stopping un authenticated users from using the template... doesn't make a whole let of sense in the register context so ive removed it

Components

Site Engines

Currently 3 versions of the same app.

AJAX

• WTF is with the 'updateid is not defined' messages in the error console?
• Really need a *loading chat* message when you first load it

IFrame

Frameless

Themes

Mmmm nice views of the same application.

Standard

Matrix

This looks really nice on my home flatscreen but its a bit hard to read at work.

Newspage

• doesn't yet exist

Classes

The application objects.

Actions

• moved most of the code out of commands.php into the action_class.php file.

Chat

DBConn

• as with logger, should create 1 instance and pass it down; not sure how to accomplish this as redirects are in place

History

• moved most of the code out of history.php into history_class.php and created a getNav() method.

Logger

• should create 1 instance and pass it down
• should create a general logging and error logging type printout
• once integrated get rid of *all* the die() calls

Message

Output

Page

The class that will do all the work when building a users webpage.

Template

• would be nice if template did all the work without it being called a load of times from different places. This would fix the above w issues about not being able to pass down objects.

Update Hashes

This is a bit wank and dirty... we should make this work, like, well (its not even a class).

User

UserList

UserPrefs
