Hi
Over the past week I have been working on an almost complete rewrite
of the NNTP web interface (news.php.net) using the new theme. Whilst
being worked out I fixed many bugs that the current web interface have
and I have added some new features which I would like to commit SVN so
it can be improved along the way with the current redesign.
The interface can be seen at:
http://www.tuxxedo.net/phpdotnet/news/
New features I have added:
- Preferences, much like the my.php script in phpweb, some of the
options are more to test some features if they would work or not on
the live site which can be changed as we go. This includes the ability
to change the language of the interface, danish is available as to
test here.
- Better quotations, using a CSS based approach rather than a monospace one.
- People can subscribe or unsubscribe to a group in the message
listing, this is integrated using the same components as used in
mailing-lists.php from phpweb.
Some notable bugs I have fixed:
- Parsing of attachments and the way they are able to be downloaded.
This was pretty broken in many cases and the attachment data would be
shown when viewing a message.
- Minor updates to the pagination on message listing.
- Next button when reading a message now checks if the next message
is valid, in the current newsweb thats not the case.
- Fixed the message display error that Alexy Slein from doc-ru reported
- Fixed bug #51543
- Fixed encoding errors that would cause some messages not to be shown
Further more, I have got some feedback which I would like to work on
that includes:
- Better index, currently the news group list is just one big list
that could be split up into columns
- Cross browser rendering issues, currently the code have only been
developed using Opera.
So with kind permission, I would like to have web or web/php-news
karma to commit this.
