SecondVersion

Hey all, been a while since I’ve written a post. I’ve been busy with work and some personal things though.

Today I come to you because… basically, I need development ideas.

What kind of development ideas?

1. Is there some script or program that you just got to have but you can’t find it? Here’s your chance. The script would be coded in PHP/MySQL, and would be relased as a paid script, so keep that in mind when sending your ideas.
2. Website ideas. IE: webmaster, tools, etc - anything you can think of.

If I choose your idea, it’s a script, and I develop it; once released, you will get the first copy absolutely free.

Send your ideas to me by using my contact form.

Update, 12/16/07
Contact link should work now.

Hello everyone!

Many of you who visit my site come for my open source project Domain Name Portfolio. For the past 6 months or so, you all have been waiting on me to release Version 0.5.0.

I have some big news regarding the future of Domain Name Portfolio. It’s home will change, it will soon be DomainPortfolio.us. The site will be completed, and launched, once Version 0.5.0 of the script is ready.

What changes have been made to Domain Name Portfolio so far?

• Improved the is_valid_email function.
• Improved the sanitize function.
• sanitize() function calls cleaned up. There was no need to specify ‘true’ as a 2nd parameter (for stripping \r\n). As it defaults to true.
• Changed ver_check function to only grab the latest version, not do an actual check against the current & latest versions. Both latest version and currently installed version are shown in admin.
• clean() on $_POST vars etc removed. The value is now passed to clean() via the sanitize() function.
• The iif function introduced in 0.4.2 deprecated. No longer used.
• Removed the ‘img’ folder.
• Renamed several folders and files:
  ‘inc’ => ‘includes’,
  ‘tpl’ => ‘templates’,
  ‘funcs.php’ => ‘functions.php’,
  ‘funcs_admin.php’ => ‘functions_admin.php’,
  and several others
• Changed url params for pagination/sort:
  ‘p’ => ‘page’,
  ’s’ => ’sort’
• ‘atomic’ font replaced with ‘rubbfont’ for captcha.
• Added ordering of domains in admin..like it is on main index.
• Added a new database field - ‘issite’. Setting this to yes when adding or editing a domain, will cause it to be linked on the index & search pages.
• Added a new database field - ‘description’ for both domains and categories. Which will allow you to give a domain or category a description.
• You can now add domains in bulk!
• You now have categories!
• You now have search!
• Both the ‘blue’ and ‘default’ templates are gone.
• The editing/deleting of domains/categories share the same files using ‘modes’ (edit.php & delete.php).
• Optimized code.
• Added a referer check on POSTs
• If your server does not support GD, or has freetype, you’ll see this image on the contact form:
  
• Revamped Installer
• Changed table structure of config, and how it is handled
• Added a custom error handler
• Improved MySQL Database class
• All files are now in *nix format, using tabs - no more tabs to spaces (sorry windows users)
• Improved template class.
• Code cleanup (Laziness of using the ternary operator mostly; in cases where an if statement would be easier to read/follow).

0.5.0 promises to be the best yet, you all will love it

Stay tuned.

I had originally set a date for the opening of PHPSociety for around July/August. However, I ‘got my butt i gear’ sorta speak, and opened it yesterday For anyone not familiar with my latest project, I have it on my “My Projects” page, which can be found here.

The site is not quite ‘finished’ by all means. There are plenty more features I plan on incorporating soon; that I’ll keep quiet for now. If you’re into php, and would like a place to not only discuss the language, but find tutorials, scripts, and other misc. resources..then why not join us?

Will see you all there.

Hey everyone,

Must say..has been quite some time since I’ve posted here. As usual, things are busy busy busy. Not long ago (about eh, 3 months - when I first got the idea) I started on a project originally called “SVs Domain Portfolio”. It turned out okay I suppose (stopped messing with it after 1 week), never did much with it after that until about 1 1/2 months ago. To keep it short I ended up re-coding the entire thing. And it turned out good, and I’m still working on it. I’ve added to some project places but for now will not give out links. It’s still in the development/Pre-Alpha stage. Once I release a BETA I will let you all know. Stay tuned, it may be sooner than you think

Thanks,

-SV

Hello all, sorry for the loooong delay. It appears a few of the scripts I planned on releasing were lost. But not to worry, I’ll have them re-coded and ready for download soon =) I’ve been fairly busy lately, am moving here shortly. Along with 2 or 3 sites I’m currently working on, it’s kinda hectic.

Scripts that are currently available for download:

SVs Simple PHP Counter - v1.6 as of: May 23, 2007

Features:
- No database needed.
- Easy setup.

The others will have to be re-written, as mentioned above.

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

My scripts are nearing release. I’ve been delayed a bit, doing BETA testing etc, finding bugs and fixing them. The scripts that I will be releasing are the following:

-SVsSimpMail: Simple mailing list manager using text files..No SQL involved.
-SVsTellaFriend: Simple site recommendation script
-SVsSimpleCounter: Simple visitor counter(currently being rewrote before release, to include the option to use graphics instead of text)

I expect to have them ready to release within the next week. Keep your eyes out.

-SV

I’ve not made a post in a rather long time. But I’ve been rather busy lately. Writing a few PHP scripts that I’ll be releasing here soon. And most likely I’ll release them here rather than doing like most and submitting them to script directories. So that my blog visitors will have first crack at them. The scripts I’ll be releasing are:

- A simple counter
- A simple mailing list manager
- A simple tell-a-friend
- A flat file based guestbook

And a few others. Just keep your eyes out on the blog and watch for them.
I’ve also been into a few website developments. A few sites that are nearly up and running just some tweaking to do. These sites will be:

- A free avatar and banner creator site. With instant avatar personalization and banner creation.
- The ultimate domain name site. With a load of tools for the domainer With tools that most sites require you to pay for. Not sure yet whether or not I’ll require a paid membership.
- And a few others that I wish to keep hush hush for now.

That’s all for now, just keep your eyes out.

-SV
