[IPD] Personal Topics

November 22, 2006

Hot on the heels of the two previously finished features, here’s another completed feature for the “MyCP” area of IP.Dynamic. Personal Topics, is – as the name implies, a feature that allows you to start a topic and invite specific members to participate. It’s a bit like a personal message but in a forum topic [...]

[IPD] Task Manager

November 16, 2006

I’m just about done with the IP.Dynamic task manager. As the name suggests, it’s a little corner of the CMS to organize you and your staff. It should be pretty self explanatory as-is. Just after I took the movie capture, I added in a check box to ‘Hide Completed Tasks’ and made it so the [...]

[IPD] Calendar Again

November 13, 2006

I had previously blogged about IP.Dynamic’s calendar. Thankfully, it’s nearing completion. There’s not much to say that the movie clips won’t other than it has support for multiple calendars that can be viewed simultaneously a’la Google Calendar and it introduces ‘context sensitive’ menu options (the Calendar View Options above the left hand menu). 4.5mb Quicktime [...]

IP.Dynamic: Calendar

September 7, 2006

I hate writing calendars. I suck at maths. For a programming nerd, that’s unsual – but it’s true. Even after a month of intense DS Lite Brain Training, I still can’t work out how much change I’m supposed to have at the till. Mainly because I use a visa card, but I digress. Calendars suck [...]

[IPD] Files and Directories

April 20, 2006

As alpha testing continues, I’ve been overhauling some areas which haven’t seen much attention for a while. One such area is the files and directories management screen. I’ve re-done the entire section to make it not only much prettier but much easier to use and more functional. I’ve tried to keep it as “dynamic” as [...]

Testing begins

April 10, 2006

Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. It’s been a car-azy time at IPS towers as we’ve just kicked off the first round of alpha and beta testing for two new products: IP.Dynamic and IP.Converge. Initial feedback is very positive and we’ve got some great ideas to work with. The ‘biggest’ [...]

[IPD] Form Manager

January 27, 2006

Invision Power Dynamic is a very modular system. At IP.Dynamic’s core is nothing more than a framework – the actual functionality comes from the ‘components’. IP.Dynamic will ship with default components, such as the menu manager, articles manager, RSS import/export manager and a form manager. The form manager has been designed as a flexible system [...]

[IPD] Pedigree Chum

January 23, 2006

We, at IPS towers, often eat our own dog food. We do this with development builds to discover new better ways of presenting our product and to high light any areas which can be improved. Rob (IPS designer / web site lead) has been working with IPD at a top secret location for top secret [...]

IPD: Attachments System

December 20, 2005

I’ve finally finished the IPD attachments system (which will likely come to IPB 3.0 along with the new RTE) and I’m pretty pleased with it. I’ve spent a lot of time on the interface to allow one to make multiple uploads without leaving or refreshing the current page. I finally went with a scripted solution [...]
