Still Working on it…

April 20th, 2008

It has been a long time since the last update, but rest assured it is still being worked on. I have been working on the bugs listed in the forum.

SR 2.0 Beta 5 Released

January 6th, 2008

I have sent out beta 5 to those who requested it.
I know of a few small issues but of nothing major.
I have only tested it on Joomla 1.0.13 php and mysql 4.
To sign up click see this thread

The final release will depend on:

  • How many bugs are found.
  • How long it takes me to finish removing old redundant code.
  • How long it takes to get a database update script complete.
  • How busy I am.

I would estimate it being about 90% complete.

Beta 5

Download Location

The new project site for downloads is http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/simplereview/.

I have only put up 1.3.5 and not 2.0 beta 4. There will be a new beta release in a months time, in the meantime the old beta releases are not available for download so please don’t ask.

Where to download?

Mamboxchange is down so I am moving the project to http://joomlacode.org/.
Once the project is approved I will post the download links here.

Update

August 14th, 2007

While I have not posted any news in a while, development has been going well and there has been some big changes.

I have changed the way in which categories are stored. Storing of categories has changed from the Adjacency List Model to The Nested Set Model, this change will make creating breadcrumbs and counting the number of reviews in a category a lot easier and quicker.

I have also changed the ways in how review and categories titles are stored. You can now add as many standard titles as you want and no longer have to use dynamic titles.

I have also been playing around with templating, no concrete changes on this yet though.

The only problem with these changes is that it makes upgrading a bit more difficult, so the next release is still a while away.

Back in Business

Development has started again ;)
