to-do list 1.1

[Sajaki]

here's a little list of what we aim to do for future releases, now that [1.09] is at [RC1] and close to [FINAL]

With 1.09 RC1, we achieved already quite a bit. It is the first version that i really consider code-complete, it is very much more userfriendly concerning the installation procedure now that we use Automod.

We now plan to submit it to the phpbb mod team for validation (RC2).

On the horizon for [1.1] we think of these features :

phpbb technical
- transition to UMIL, dbms independent (MSSQL, postgre)
- fully oop-aware classes. this has started in 1.09 but we will deepen the concept.

bbdkp
- epgp
- dkp caps (50% dkp gain after n dkp level)
- dkp depreciation : after n time you lose x % dkp
- linking phpbb member profiles with bbdkp members.
- popup with bbdkp member information when hovering over board profile

New plugins
- Raid planner

Warcraft
- achievememt tracker page,
- spell tooltips
- achievement tooltip
- character armory tooltips
- getdkp compatible with bbdkp

Lotro
- class icons
- boss icons
- item database icons

abit more support for Eq2, Warhammer, AoC, FFXI
New games : Age of conan

I cannot promise this will all be achieved but we'll give it a shot.

i'm now busy with UMIL conversion for RC2, and writing the foundation classes for the raidplanner plugin, scheduled for 1.1.

there is now a development topic on phpbb.com now just for ctrt, apply and soon for roster, as bbdkp is a separate mod and id like to submit it to the MODDB for validation without the plugins.

[Sajaki]

here's a preview of the new installer

it will be able to install, update and uninstall, all from the same screen.


result of the install


and uninstall/update

[Sajaki]

The bbdkp portal will now be installed by default, there is no copying and renaming to forum.php anymore from

Code: Select all

/contrib/site_index/root/index.php

to

Code: Select all

root/index.php

it's now portal.php.

[Sajaki]

okay, i had a little break but now i'm coding again

I know this will probably be quite a while off, but I noticed you did some foundation-work on the upcoming Raidplanner.
Is it still scheduled for the 1.1 release, or will it be available for 'early testing' in RC2 perhaps?

In any case, is it probably a matter of weeks or months before it sees the light of day? As I'm currently waiting with the release (and development) of our new guild-site, since I'd much much much prefer to have a single bbDKP setup instead of ducttaping several software packages together

GJ on your work so far, bbDKP has been growing up very nicely

The bbdkp portal will now be installed by default, there is no copying and renaming to forum.php anymore from

Code: Select all

/contrib/site_index/root/index.php

to

Code: Select all

root/index.php

it's now portal.php.

How will this affect people already using a portal for their phpbb installation? Currently must portals use a portal.php file as the main page. Will a user be given the option to not install portal.php or will it error out automatically telling you that a file called portal.php already exists?

[Sajaki]

it will be optional, with or without portal : see projected rc2 changelog below :
