What do you want to see in TP?

[ZarPrime]

If a Grid based system is ever enabled put in, I think it would be nice to have a "standard mode" for people who just want TP to do basically what it does now, and and an "advanced mode" for stuff like moving blocks around in a grid.

I agree ZarPrime. The grid-based system would be terrible for users (like me) who have several blocks that are of varying height -- php blocks where the content is not known ahead of time. Like Bloc suggested, it would only work if the blocks were of predetermined height.

I would want the following:

-Blogs
--Member Pages (Where a member can have his or her own page)
---Advanced Downloads Module (Get rid of errors)
----Advanced Chat (Make the Shout Box a Chat Module and Shout Module)
-----Pages (Have the ability to make pages instead of making them from articles)
------Wiki
-------Music Gallery
--------Video Gallery
---------Image Gallery
----------Fix Block Codes (The Block Codes item is not functioning right, it doesnt pick up the latest blocks)

Thanks, please accept my ideas.

hmmm most of your requests already have SMF mods that work perfectly fine for those purposes

and you dont explain Fix Block Codes...

(If your meaning the one that is exclusive to TinyPortal for the block code snippets, that isn't the purpose of this thread as this thread is for the development of TinyPortal the mod, not TinyPortal the site)

I certainly see that both blog and gallery mods already exists for SMF, so my reasons for making those would rather be to make them directed towards TP in every way. Probably won't be as elaborate as those others, but lighter.

In any case, I am still keen on these ideas, especially for modules, but I also like to get TP 1 and 2(for SMF2) stable, so this beta will be the last adding new features(which will be few). Changes in TPadmin are very desirable, so that i will work on.

blizz-craft,
I am puzzled by "pages, but not from articles"? What does it mean?

[burglar]

think he means adding extra pages as non-basis of an article so it should this way i think

index.php?action=page;id=1 for a normal page maybe with you can include standard html
index.php?action=article;id=1 as an article as a normal article should be written

"pages, but not from articles"

There are already a couple of SMF Mods available that will do just that.

Ah, simpler "articles" without all the extras articles have?

I do have one special idea that I am not sure when will be started upon, but it involves a "custom build page" module, where you define the fields yourself. From that I suspect it would be easy to construct simpler pages, with just one textfield and title for example.

on the aspect of Modules, it would be sweet to have kinda a members pages...Kinda like a Twitter/Facebook where individuals could post up what they are doing, or recent activities...and keep a log of them by date and time

I dont know how hard it would be, but on the member's page it would also show from their buddy list what their buddies are doing

(if that is what  blizz-craft was talking about, that would be a nice addon)

Been reading up on this topic, and cant help my self thinking..

Why try and why want to have ALL things found on the net in TP ?

Facebook have what face book have, Twitter have what twitter have, with all these things you want to have for TP it will not be as tiny and not even close to light eather.

Im not complaining at all, just thought why on earth you want to have everything inside TP when everything allready are on the net ?

I can understand the thinking of *showing* and *import small notes* from various sites out there. But include things like Twitter and Facebook inside TP are more or less nothing I personally want to see happen.

Personally I would like to see easier administration in TP, light weight options of articles, downloads, blocks etc.
EASY is the word i want to have on my mind when i think of tp. It is getting complext for every release with moe and more features ( good ones i have to add ) but would like to see lighter usage of the same functions in the base package of TP, and then have the modules hold the bigger options and layouts.

Kind of a light weight TP package and one heavy with everything.
Hard to explain but i hope i explained it pretty good though
