Phase 1
Phase 1 was a collection of refactoring the old site and placing multiple pieces together for the new site. I had also had other features that I wanted completed, but they didn’t work correctly.
The main goal was to always display the work that has been 2 months in development in open view. No matter what the old site was to be replaced with the refactoring I had been working on. Whatever other features I completed were also added, such as the basic user features. The basic user features are registering, signing in and out, and recover password.
I had wanted to complete the JavaScript transitions to replace the flash one that couldn’t be customizable. I also wanted to complete the user profile and allow uploading of avatar images. There is currently no support for avatars anywhere on the site, but there will be.
Phase 2
Will be completed August 19 regardless of any features I have completed. The main focus however is the admin and user features, as well as any tweaks to the main pages. Phase 2 also includes a lot of database table cleanup, restructuring, and old file removal. It will eventually include moving of the server hosts, so that the site could better be served.
It is currently slow progress, since I totally hate administration page coding, but I’m working on the external game management and it seems to be going better than I thought. Settings is a big part and will require modification of the main page and other pages to use the new settings table.
A major user feature is currently activation and multiple steps will be made to better serve the registered member. The first is that the user is not required to activate before signing in. They are given two weeks to do so and have the ability to resend the activation or give a working email address that does work.
Here is a list of the features that must be completed.
