Lack of..

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:50:34 +0000

Lack of updates, due to lack of time + care.

It's a shame, really. I really need to bloody get atoChat v0.7 finished and released.. ugh.

Site back up

Yes, the site is back up!

Another Donation

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:07:14 +0000

Would just like to say thanks to Stevesims.com, who sent a �10/$20 donation today. That makes a total of $40 from donations.

Everyone please sign up to the mailing list, You will get an email as soon as the next version of atoChat is released. It's critical you do this because the current version of atoChat has some serious problems. Thankyou!

Still no date on when it's done, theres a few things I need to get out the way first. But, atoChat has moved up on the priority list because of the donation.

Until then, I'll see you later! Thankyou very much for your patience with atoChat.

atoChat

As promised, I will be working on atoChat over the weekend. I'll put any progress here I guess...

Who wants to see the current v0.7 changelog? Eh? :D

Installer updated with new skin
Now almost XHTML compliant
Javascript moved to its own .js file, instead of being in the index.php
All the ajax calls are much more stable now, it initializes it's own xmlHttp object for each call instead of using a global one.
Help screen updated, looks much better now
showsmileys() will now only display image files. Good for when windows makes that annoying Thumbs.db file, then atoChat ends up thinking it's a smiley.
Cleaned up all the files and includes
Now using atolib library
Update checker updated
Color picker added instead of dropdown menu
Central PHP script for the chat is no longer central

Edit at 11:55PM GMT: Still working on it! It's doing very well. I can't believe how unoptimized and illogical some parts of atoChat are. Oh well, It's all going to be brought up to my new standard! Remember, last version of atoChat was probably more than a year ago, So a lot has changed since then! (Also, Please don't expect a release today or tomorrow. It will most probably be ready next Sunday. I still have the admin panel to do!)

Some updates

Thu, 22 May 2008 21:55:18 +0000

Site is pretty-much fixed for Internet Explorer users (Who I hate, by the way), apart from the space between the news header and the news post (But that doesn't really matter for now). I also updated the projects page, so check it out! I'm going to be upgrading all the comment forms for the shoutbox, news, etc. It'll feature a WYSIWYG editor and a little box with the smileys, so they can be easily inserted into the comment.

As for atoChat v0.7 (You poor buggers have been waiting for ages):
I'm still not sure when it will be ready; I am still really busy with other things. I'll dedicate some time to it this weekend, hopefully bringing it up to about 80-90% completion.

That's it for now, cya.

Ah!

Site is back from maintenance. After about 5 hours of hard work (It's 4.41am), the site is in a much better state. Most of the work was on the admin panel. I'm going to go to sleep now. I'm aware that the contact form isn't working, I'll fix it when I wake up. If you spot any problems, please leave a comment :)

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention that I had to reset all the comments on everything (Shoutbox, atoChat page, etc). The only comments that survived were the ones for the news. I won't go into detail about why I had to do it, but it had to be done due to a massive change in atoCMS's database structure.

ANOTHER EDIT: Yes, The site is broken in Internet Explorer 6, probably Internet Explorer 7 as well. I really don't care right now, I'm sick of Internet Explorers shitty rendering problems.

If you are currently using Internet Explorer, I recommend you get a better browser like Firefox

New layout

I got a new layout up, but it's not fully done yet so some things might be broken. Bear with us!

Serious Time

Sat, 10 May 2008 23:19:26 +0000

Okay I need to be serious now, atoChat v0.7 is taking absolutely ages, because I can't be bothered at the moment. It is doing quite well though, It's become much more organized and efficient. Give me another week or two, I really would like it done by then because v0.5 sucks.

Thanks for being patient so far, I promise you you will be rewarded for it with a nice atoChat v0.7 release!

Until then, cya.

Mail List Fixed

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 01:39:24 +0000

I have just fixed the mail list, so click "Mail List" in the left menu and follow the instructions there to join it.

By the way, all the emails have been cleared so if you were once on it, you're not on it anymore, so resign up to it :)
