Movie Sizzle
The Tux Reports Network has several entertainment sites but nothing dedicated to movies. Today, movie sizzle opened for beta testing.
Movie Sizzle is built around Drupal and the Drigg module. Registered members submit links to movies and movie reviews, comment on movies, and vote movies up or down.
DNS Propagation: What Is New
The DNS change for whatisnew.com is complete. Everyone should see the new site layout.
- Images
- Image slideshow
- Layout of blocks
- Import of past articles
- Other features still being considered
The new features provide Lora with the ability to style posts and side content.
TinyMCE Installed on ComputerViews
In order to ensure a good user experience, TinyMCE was installed on ComputerViews.
TinyMCE is a platform independent web based Javascript HTML WYSIWYG editor control released as Open Source under LGPL by Moxiecode Systems AB. It has the ability to convert HTML TEXTAREA fields or other HTML elements to editor instances. TinyMCE is very easy to integrate into other Content Management Systems.
TinyMCE Features
- Easy to integrate, takes only two lines of code.
- Customizable through themes and plugins.
- Customizable XHTML 1.0 output. Block invalid elements and force attributes.
- International language support (Language packs)
- Multiple browser support, Mozilla, MSIE, FireFox, Opera and Safari (experimental).
- PHP/.NET/JSP/Coldfusion GZip compressor, Makes TinyMCE 75% smaller and a lot faster to load.
- You can easily use AJAX to save and load content!
Note. The configuration may change as work continues on the site.
vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 2
Tux Reports was the first Linux site of the network. After many revisions, as well as starts and stops, the site has been rather dormant. The reviews, wiki, and thousands of articles were removed several years ago. The other day, the old forums were installed with the backup of data from 2003.
Today, the second beta version of vBulletin 3.7.0 was installed. This version has some social networking features and allows uploads of photos.
Wacky Whacks
I’m Wacky is now online but content is missing. This is a drupal test site. Maybe the site is more than a test site. The site is a test of an idea for people to share ‘duh’ moments. No images are used on this site - and this will be changed soon.
Computer Views is also coming along nicely. The cron job is set for the RSS feeds from other Tux Reports sites. A unique theme must be built - but all in time.
Insane Politics
Work on Insane Politics continued this morning. The RSS Feed for Democratic Chat now loads as Frontpage News for IP.
Sadly, the election might be over by the time the site is open for business.
Computer Views: Playing with Drupal
Many newspapers are using Drupal to provide visitors with an excellent experience. Computer Views is the first attempt to install Drupal and configure the site for joining different TRN technology sites.
New Domains and Some Changes
Lora requested a few domains to be added to the network.
- Surface PC Buzz
- SurfaceComputerBuzz
- SurfaceComputersBuzz
Avant de commencer a poker en ligne, tout ce que vous devez faire, c’est de consulter les regles du jeu.
All three direct visitors to an existing site on the network.
Loren’s blog (Incremental Blogger) was moved to a new domain, www.lorenheiny.com and appears to be working. There is a glitch with YouTube videos on WordPressVariete des jeux sur jeux de casino en ligne. 2.3 but we found a work around until there
is a fix.
UMPC Buzz appears to be working fine. The aliases are not set properly, yet.
