Har ingenting nytt å melde om inforMe og derfor er det stille på denne bloggen nå.. Jeg kan bare kort melde at vi nå bruker dette systemet på jobben og har brukt det nå siden skolestart. Har sett en del små bugs her og der(og noen relativt store), men stort sett fungerer det bra.
As promised inforMe hits Beta today. Version 0.5 is now considered a working system with the most basic functionality.
This does not imply that the system is finished or that development will halt, but it is possible that atleast the next 3-4 weeks will be a more quiet period on this project as things are starting to pick up at work.
inforMe 0.5 Beta is not exactly a bugfree system(unfortunatly), so if you discover something that’s really annnoying you, please report this bug as a comment to this post.
Personally I would recomend using Google Chrome as webbrowser on the infoboard/infoscreen, as this is by far the fastest webbrowser available today(press F11 for fullscreen). I am aware that there are several bugs affecting IE in the adminpanel in this release, so my recommandation here is to avoid using that browser(atleast with current version), most other browsers should be fine though(i.e. one of these: Firefox, Opera or Chrome).
It’s been a week since I last typed something up here so here goes.. I hope to have inforMe version 0.5 Beta ready within a few days.. The system have been subject to some very good development lately, mostly due to the fact that I have had more time to write code the last couple of weeks. The purpose of the very first inforMe beta versjon is that it’s basic functions should be ok to use. It’s features will in the Beta be limited to: create slide, publish/save draft(archeive?), edit slide and delete slide.
Other features like change order/priority of slides, expiration date on slides, rewritten presentation engine(I have an idea) and other aesthetic improvements will have to wait until next version.
Since it’s been quite some time since I last showed I was alive, I figured it was about time for a little status update of the inforMe project.
createslide.php in the admin folder is now capable of updating any slide in the db, and as soon as you press one of the two save buttons, the post is actually submitted to the db, and you can edit that too.
The (non-existant) roadmap for this project now points out the path to creating a overview page, where pretty much anything you can do with a slide is available, for instance delete slide, edit slide, change priority, etc.
Sorry, this entry is only available in Norsk.
And so another update of inforMe was due to arrive to the public. The public version is now 0.4.7.6, and the adminpanel is starting to both look and work nicely.
The changelog on the project page is updated så head on over there and have a look at the new tweaks and features, or better yet download and try for yourself. Maybe it could soon be called a Beta project?
I can also mention the this is my last day at work for about a week, before I am back at it in week 28, and then again vacationing in week 29. This means, it could be awhile until the next update of the system(and this blog). Since I only have two weeks vacation this summer, it becomes even more important, to get the best out of it.
Have a fantastic summer 
Thanks to a new plugin in my wordpress installation, called qTransplate, is the project page for inforMe now translated to english. Hopefully this will increase the interest in the system.
As you can read this is the first, and maybe last, blogpost also translated to English. If you for some reason want to see how this looks like in norwegian click the little norwegian flag on the top right
Thought I should also mention that the internal version numbering, of the inforMe project, are moving faster than the one I publish on this site. The internal version are now 0.4.7.6. Despite the rather small increase in mere numbers, some pretty important improvements have been made with this version.
Blir kanskje litt råflott med to innlegg på to dager når jeg har så lite å si, men nå er det gjort. inforMe er nå tilgjengelig for nedlastning i versjon 0.4.7.2 på prosjekt siden. Der kan du også lese hvilke endringer som er gjort siden sist.
Det er mulig det har blitt et lite tilbakesteg med inforMe prosjektet, men det kan godt tenkes at det fungerer til det beste for prosjektet i det lengre løp.
Dette er bare enda et nytt innlegg som bekrefter at prosjektet er i live, og nærmer seg versjon 0.5. Jeg er fortsatt ikke sikker på om jeg skal drøye versjonen til jeg har fått på plass en funksjonell måte å laste opp bilder på, eller om jeg skal konstentrere meg om tekst innlegg, og ta bilde problematikken til en senere versjon.vel vel… den som lever får se..
