Blog software beta testers wanted! - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**Togoodhlth** · 12-16-2005, 04:46 AM

We have been working on a new blog software. It started as a simple blog for one of my sites and took a life of its own.
Once complete it will be a turn key solution for those looking to have their own blog site/community.

Once the beta is done active beta testers will receive a free copy of the software including the first batch of premium modules.
(By active I mean you set up a blog, posted at least a couple of times and submitted some feedback)

I have it up at Bloggerlines.com
(Temporary homepage)
Features:
1. Multi Blog Support
2. Custom Styling using css
3. AJAX Comment system with custom ajax client side javascript.
4. Validation System for input forms.
5. Interest Sharing
6. Favorite Lists
7. RSS Support
8. Friends - ( Add, remove, activate, block )
9. Image Gallery - Full album support with private and public albums
10. Groups ( Private, Public, Limited ) - Beta

Coming Soon...
* ATOM Feeds
* Video image gallery
* Cell Phone Updating
* Cell Phone Browsing
* Custom Image Gallery
* Personalized skins
* Share your skins

There is a BB set up for feature requests and bug reports. The link to the BB is on the homepage.

Please PM me with your username after you sign up.

Thanks

John

Hi John, I visited your site. I registered, slow in loading and when submitted, it went to Website not responding.

Any others have same problems?

Looking forward to seeing your system.

NOTE: Video gallery is now being worked on as well as an area for users to create new skins in CSS and save them. They can allow their visitors to change skins or they have the option of locking a particular skin etc.

No it is running fine for me and the programmers.
I dont think we restarted the server or were doing any really bandwidth intensive so maybe it was the connection.

I have been on for a few hours and it is up so if you dont mind please try again.

Thanks

John

Hi ToGoodHealth,

Yes, I went back and registered. I like some of the images there and couldn't read the language but I enjoyed seeing the photos.

Yes, it was up and running smoothly.

Only problem, well maybe not a problem, is that I would like to be able to "register" and then after registration, logs me out or sends me a confirmation at my email address I left so for one thing, I have something I can refer to, to look up my username or password if forgotten.

And after registration, it logs me out so I can log in and find contents easier.

After I registered, I had to pull down the page to find something that said welcome but then I couldn't find an entry comment area too easy. Actually I went thru the main page index to find an area to put a comment.

I'll come back again soon.

Later, Wired

Great feedback!
There should have been a confirmation email sent. I will be sure it includes the username so people have a reference. I agree that this is important and I save all of my registration conirmations in a folder so I in case I forget.

The other issue was due to piggybacking domain names. Once you logged in you were being redirected to a different domain and it was set up so that when you changed from one domain to another you were logged out. This is being fixed right now.

Thanks

I visited your blog beta blog site again. Much improved. Easy navigation. Gave me lots of options to personalize. Loaded very quickly.

Plan on loading an image tomorrow. Even gave me an option to change my username without any problems.
Also "search" worked very nicely. Nice to have a search function on a blog.

Nice job, togoodhlth.

Later, Wired

Thanks very much.The beta is going well. We have added a ton of features but with just 2 programmers it takes a little time to get everything done as fast as I would like.
The rss is working well - Almost instantly actually. And google is indexing posts quickly.

Atom feeds will be done tomorrow and also RTF is being added.

Groups are coming together and will be almost done tomorrow.

Trackbacks (tracebacks) will be done in a few days

Photo gallery is the next area to tackle. Have some great ideas and I think photo area will be close to done by Christmas.

We ahve the installation tool done.

Soo a lot to do but it is coming together.

Thanks again for the help in testing!

hello,
Registration failed for me.
this is the message i got.

Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
File: /home/animeblo/public_html/modules/settings/settings.php
Line: 154
Query:
INSERT INTO
user_sidebars
VALUES
(
98,
2
)

I hope this will help.

I can log in. Is there a way to place a message like " Thanks for registrating, please check your email....)

**Togoodhlth** · 12-25-2005, 09:05 PM

Ok thanks.
Not sure why this happened.
Programmers are off until tuesday unfortunately but it will be fixed first thin in the morning.

I think it was because we were rushing to get the home page a little more organized about 10 minutes before we left for the long weekend and someone decided not to test it before leaving.

Thanks very much for letting me know about the error.

John

Ok I just checked and the registration is working but the confirmation page is not. So you should ahve still received a welcome email and should be able to login.

**NameMatters** · 12-31-2005, 01:04 PM

I got this message though there are no such fields on the regn form..

You must confirm your email address.
You must enter a city.
You must enter a state or province.
You must enter a country.

**Togoodhlth** · 12-31-2005, 03:02 PM

Again a Friday afternoon rush screws up the login!!
I will look into this and fix it. I will try and get one of my programmers right now.

Thanks for the heads up! I need these HUGE bugs fixed before we launch.

Thanks again!
John

Hey togoodhlth
on the registration page, the last field says "password" but is a Terms of Service check up + TOS link, not sure if the "password text" was just a place holder or somthing.

Also aim getting the same error as NameMatters... Its says"
You must confirm your email address.
You must enter a city.
You must enter a state or province.
You must enter a country.

but theres not fields for theos.

**Togoodhlth** · 12-31-2005, 03:50 PM

Ok this is fixed!
Thanks for letting me know!

John

**mp04** · 12-31-2005, 04:07 PM

on the registration page, the last field says "password" but is a Terms of Service check up + TOS link, not sure if the "password text" was just a place holder or somthing.

AND

I was able to complete the registration WITHOUT agreeing to the Terms of Service, meaning i forgot to check the box, and the registration went though without a problem.

i also names by blog, (with was optional, but decided to doit anyway) but when i logged it, I THINK where the blog name is ment to be, just has a big "0" as the title, and "0" as the slogan line or secound title line

**Togoodhlth** · 01-09-2006, 07:11 PM

Sorry I missed this post.
I will look into all of this stuff. It may have been fixed already but if not consider it done tomorrow.

Thanks very much for the input! I would love it if there were no bugs to report but if there are we want to know about them!

John
