Excellent idea also brian, and it looks pretty straighforward to add in also. This has gone on my todo list as well.

Keep them coming everyone... they may take a while to put in, but they will eventually get there, even if it is EM3Wink

I am going to be away for about a week (may be check in once or twice for support questions in between)... thanks very much for all the great suggestions.

CALLING EM USERS:

I have been receiving requests for a feature list, customer comments, screenshots and example websites using EM (as well as for my other plug-ins) since I made versions 1.

You have all heard the story about me not having a lot of time, and this week is a great example of this.

Anyways, I thought I would sneak this post in tonight, as I am going to make an effort to get a page up for each plug-in starting with a future version of EM.

You can see the work in progress for EM3 here: http://www.iuni.com/custom/EM/em3.html. While I have not even begun EM3 (EM2 has only just been released), there is nothing like planning ahead, maybe my feature list on this page will become a todo listAngelic.

What I would really appreciate from anyone or a couple of people even is something to put into my "customer comments" and "sites using EM" section. Just email me at iuni, or send a pm. Also one or two really cool screen shots would be nice. I am looking for a range of things to show, something other than just my site :)

I apologise for the site being quite basic (and containing errors) at this stage, but I am going to fix it all up later this week.

Thanks very much! Smile

Editors Choice!

Have a special tag that can be assigned by an editor (one per calendar month) that gives that link an Editors Choice marking.

Should show above the Link Title:

EDITORS CHOICE August 2002
Link Title
Link Decription
Etc...

Have the tag stay on the link for full term as well. This will give a little more power to the editor.

I'm going to (finally!) get my editor profile section up this weekend so I'll be happy to let you link to my site then. You can take whatever screenshots you wish of it as well (or just let me know what kind of screenshots you'd like).

Hi IAN

My site is http://www.2muslims.com/directory/

About EM and its support by 2muslims.com webmaster:

Features:

The features you can find on IAN web site are just a portion ofd what this plug in is cabable of.

The Modifications were made easy through the editor monitor, the Globals those are built in are more than most of us will need.. although we can always use Wink

Support:

The support that IAN provides is superior, quick and exclusive so the limited support you see on his official page is just a stetment that is far from the truth...

Upgrades:

IAn has done very much all requested add ons ad mods those he was asked for in a very short time...
Regards
KaTaBd

Users plug In - Multi Search And Remote Search plug in - WebRing plug in - Muslims Directory

Hi Ian,

I am not sure if this is right or not but I upgraded the plugin today to 2.0.1 and when I select the "editors online" it not only shows the editors but also the registered users and non registered users.

So if all three are showing is that right?

Hi Brian, yes that is correct. Do you find that the regular users is an issue? Filtering could be added if so.Wink

In a high traffic site that may be a little bit much to look through. Especially if they have UM to boot.

It is just my opinion, but I think just seeing the editors in the EM would be best. Most people have stats programs that can see the other traffic *in general. And the UM would be able to see all registered users.

It also seperates the two plugins a bit more.



Just a thought!Cool

A wild thought that may apply to UM as well. A way to auto spam-proof email addresses.

An internal form would work fine. Just select the member name and it sends it to the proper party. Like a dating site.Cool

Yes, this is something that has been on my todo list for the longest time, I just have never reached that far down yet!

I think a form on the profile page which masks the email address or goes through a cgi file would be appropriate. A form may take up too much room on some sites though... ideas on this?

Hi Ian,

I would say that a small form that uses cgi to do the mailing by accessing the users email address is the right answer.

It would take up about 3 vertical inches or so on the page and could be placed after the profile to keep it below the fold.

I like the idea, but that is just my opinion of course.Cool

I'm thinking more along the lines of the email that appears on the User Profile page auto 'scrambled' so robots can glean it from the page. Instead of having it appear as rayhne@fanficweb.net, have it come up as rayhneATfanficwebDOTnet.

Hey Ian,



When reviewing the editors online I noticed that it is not releaseing the data. Everyone is showing the same as they were prior. And even editors that are not online are still showing.

Any ideas?Crazy

Hi Brian,

Yes, this is to do with Links' session files. They seem to hang around until there is a change.

Try logging in as a user, that should clear it all out.

I am not exacty sure how to 'fix' this, as I don't know how to modify the way the session files are created or deleted through a plug-in.Unsure

It used to be a problem on my site when there were quiet periods (no log in or log outs for longer than the admin settings' session time limit), but as the traffic builds on your site, it will no longer be an issue, as the session files will be constantly changing.

What to do?

Hi Rayhne,

I am not sure what format I will put this into, but I have added a "contact the editor" into my todo list.

Thanks Ian. I believe that the site had over 5000 uniques in that directory today though. I will check it out.

Hi Ian,



I had an idea for EM.

What if there was a way to give rewards to current editors when they refer a new editor?

It asks for a reference in the new editor sign up already, so all that would need to be figured out is the reference between the application and the rewatds system.

The reference request in the application is currently a text box. Maybe a drop down with all the editors names? This will allow for an accurate submission!



Just a thought!Cool

Re: [Teambldr] v2.0.1 Released In reply to
Hmmm, YES!

I am sure it could be done by setting a value in the form (Yes No) along with the name.

But it would be hard (for the code) to detect if someone is making it up. They could have just pulled a name from off your site, or an editor's profile page.

Hi Ian,



2 more ideas for EM!

1. Editor Reviews
Allow registered members to review an editors performance and post them to be seen in the editors profile section.
2. Editor Articles
Allow editors to create a newsletter article that is linked from the editor profile and can be included in the newsletter for the site as well.


EDIT: a third and forth one...Wink
3. Editor Ratings
Allow an editor to rate a site and show the editor rating on the sites detail page or within the link.html template.

4. Editor Featured Site
Allow the editor to choose one site per category as a featured listing for a calendar month. Upon choosing the site the "Editors' Featured Site" would show up on the link.html and detailed templates.


Just a thought!Cool

Hey nice ideas Brian.

I had already added a user rating/editor rating system to my todo list, so hopefully this would help.

I like #4, that sounds like a particulary good one!

I am going to have fun going though all these old posts when I get a computer, trying to work out whats what!

Just hang in there everyone, it may not be that soon, but I will be making EM3 (and major updates to all of the plugins for that matter).

In case you don't know already, I am without a computer right now.... I am using either my mom's computer or whatever I can get my hands on. So thats why all is quiet on the plug-in front at the moment.
