War_Hero Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hi all. Hope you are all well. I was thinking of making an updates page where the admins (or any other staff level) can inform the other users what updates have been added to the game. I know it seems pretty simple, but I will be attempting to do it all using JQuery/AJAX. I'm also considering adding a feature so users can comment on the updates with their opinions of the feature, etc. This feature will also be made using JQuery, so virtually no refreshing will be needed. Please let me know what you think of this idea. :) Cheers, War_Hero Quote
The Spirit Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 This sounds great, would love to see it in action :) Quote
War_Hero Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Isnt this just the announcements :S Yeah, essentially. But it'll focus more on the game updates rather than news. So donator specials, warnings, down-time notifcations, etc won't be made using this. This would primarily be for admins to inform users about the game updates, and possibly allow them to comment on it. :) Quote
Danny696 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Why not just make announcement comments. Would be alot better Quote
War_Hero Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 I think one has already been made. So there would be no point. Really, this is just a remake of the announcements. The announcements feature is pretty poor anyway...well, the default one anyway. So it's just going to be a nice revamp. Quote
Danny696 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Your pritty much just remaking the announcemnts and adding comments. Both can be found on this site. You might aswell make it though, see how you code ;) Quote
War_Hero Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Yeah, true. But they don't use JQuery...I don't think. :) Very true. This will be used as part of a 'portfolio' so others can see examples of my work. I don't think the lottery alone will do. :) Quote
LegendFTW Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 If i was to do this i could just make a topic in forums called updates to post there for everyone to see Quote
War_Hero Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 If i was to do this i could just make a topic in forums called updates to post there for everyone to see Again, this is an alternative. Put not every user checks the forums. This'll be like the mail, events and announcements...the link in the menu will display the number of new updates. So users are immediately informed of new updates. I guess you could add the update in the forum and then post an announcement, but that's twice as much work. ;) Quote
sniko Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Although there are alternatives, I think the end product will be a good feature to add into any game. War_Hero - all the best, and good luck. -sniko Quote
chicka Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 an other alternative would be to post the announcements part of the forums in your loggedin.php file. so when they log in, the first thing they see is the announcements part of the forums. I did that on my game and everyone seems to like it that way. None the less I think what your trying to do is a good idea. Best of luck Quote
War_Hero Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks for all of your thoughts. I've not had time to work on this yet, unfortunately. But hopefully I will be able to soon. :) Quote
