currently, it is allowed to post blank blog post titles
So you are saying this shouldn’t be allowed?
Not really, but so your saying its a feature?
Not intended but it could be. I suppose it would be useful if an author wanted a stylised title for their page, but to enable font styling in titles is already on my ‘to do’ list.
Remove “Browse other topics”
Change the two side sections.
Replace “recent technology blog posts” with “Announce Board” max 4 pinned blog posts, button that jumps to a page to view all pinned blog posts, remove page navigator on the bottom.
Replace “Latest Student Blog Posts” with “This week”
Display users that have had activity within 7 days.
Drop down menu “Blog Post Activity” “Project Post Activity” “Comment Activity”
“Blog Post Activity” Default.
Under user names are links that lead to corresponding activity. Example if “Blog Post Activity” is selected, links under the user’s name will be to blog posts they have made within 7 days.
Users at the top would be users with the most recent new activity.
I’m thinking of making it possible for author’s to customise their portfolio page. Worthwhile?
Improvements already in the pipeline:
* Fix the RPG area and build a couple more examples.
* Enable engaged students to be promoted to ‘Deputy’ rank with greater backend permissions.
* Money system and a shop to spend it (not real money, game money) on visual rewards (basically beefing up gamification features).
* Improve navigation, including addition of a ‘recommendations’ section.
* Create tutorial how to build RPG missions.
One row task bar/ title bar(whatever is the bar on top)
Less round stuff.
Also less shadows and flashy effects.
Use only 3 shades of blue for the website.
Love the “3 shades of blue”. could probably make a new section for the notifications bc it would be better and it currently takes up a lot of space.
You think we should keep the blue? I was thinking of ditching the blue and having a silver on black colour scheme.
No, we should keep blue, we need a more unified UI over a visual overhaul.
Maybe you can add a hashtag feature
+ a reccomended channel.
E.G people could hashtag what topic their posts are about, and if you frequently read posts with those types of hashtags, you get reccomened those posts.
(not sure if applicable here tho cuz of the relatively small user base)
The hashtag feature was implemented, then removed, because it was making Mushroom lag too much.
wasn’t that the @ feature?
like the @ feature started an infinite query
The topic tags are applied to posts when publishing them. So, do you mean being able to #hashtag those topic tags or create new ones? Originally anyone publishing a post could create their own tags but I stopped that because it got messy very quickly.
