Loudle - Digg Like Page Submitter / News: Recent posts

Alpha 4.1 was released today marking the first totally bug free release (at least I *THINK* it's bug free). Now that doesn't mean there aren't things still to do, but the thing functions now.

Alpha 4 is now out. Almost everything works. There is only 1 known bug in this release (links from the search function don't work) and only one more major piece of functionality (RSS feed links will go through Loudle instead of directly to the page that was submitted)

Both of those things will likely be done in a day or so and alpha 4.1 will be out december 27th

Alpha 2 of the code is now out and includes many important features that were missing from the alpha 1 releases. That said, this is still alpha code.

I still don't have error trapping in the code nor do I have any of several security features (such as stripping out html markup in submitted text)

Once again, please let me know if you intend to give this a look and I'll help you get it up and running on your site.

In my original plan (which you can see in th edata model and data dictionary doc) I was going to "dual purpose" the comment table to also hold the "votes" for a particular web page.

I've realized however that won't work unless I'm going to restrict people to only one comment ... or I want to write queries with "distincts" in them which will slow query response times.... read more

Alha 1 of Loudle is now out and available for dowwnload. Please let me know if you intend to take a look at it and I will help get it up and running on your site. Addidionally, there is still some significant missing functionality. See the Feature Request Tracker for examples.

I'm now expecting to have the first release of ALPHA level code done and out the door tomorrow. Remember, I said ALPHA code. I am going to be looking for alpha testers, so if you're interested head on over to the development site at www.loudle.org and let me know.

The first cut of the data model and the data dictionary has been uploaded to the documents section.
