Desired features

posted by Talrias on Thu, January 19th, 16:23; last edited by Talrias on Thu, January 19th, 20:01.

Here's a wishlist of features I'd like to have:

Features for aterr:
- Improved user permissions system.
- User groups, for mass-assignment of permissions.
- Private messages.
- Templating system.
- Internationalisation/localisation of text.
- Support for other databases (PostgreSQL, etc.).
- Logging of actions (new user registered, new post, topic locked, etc.).

Development tools:

- Bug tracker (preferably integrated into aterr's database).
- Test suite (automated submission of forms, and checking the database to see if they are entered correctly).

If you want to help out with development of one of these features, please let me know - either reply here or email me at chris@starglade.org - thanks!

More soon!

Chris

How about some extension/plugin system?

It will be good I think and would make cooperation in development some small new features more effective. For example I need to add some custom fields to user info but don't like to patch the main code.

That's under development! Of course, something like this is quite big so it may take some time. It'll probably end up being a partial rewrite.

One feature I can think of is the databases you have set can be mapped to others.

For example, when I installed Aterr with my site, I already had a user db called 'x' and had different fields involved as well. So I had to run through the code and do a find a replace ore or less to get to run right.
