It will also have a bookmark import and export. How are you guys doing bookmark import and export? Is there some sort of modular system where somebody can write a plugin for a specific browser on a specific platform? That plugin would define the syntax for that particular browser. I'd like to help out with this if I could - because I'd love to be able to export bookmark lists to the various browsers I have running on various machines. How are you guys planning on weighting the bookmarks?

Cool. What else will 2.0.00 include? Multi-user? Any other ideas? I'd also like to request another slight change to the DB schema slightly. I'm toying with the idea of adding the ability to pull in RSS/RDF feeds from sites. I think that all it needs at this point is a single varchar in the apb_bookmarks table: ALTER TABLE `apb`.`apb_bookmarks` ADD `bookmark_rss_feed` VARCHAR(255) AFTER `bookmark_url`; I haven't figured out how I want to display them yet - but it may be something like this: 1. You can add the feed when you're adding or editing a bookmark. That will probably have to be done manually - I don't see a way to do it automagically with a bookmarklet yet. 2. Those feeds will all appear on a single page that aggregates them all together. /view_feeds.php or something like that. 3. Those feeds will be pulled down and either placed in a DB or written to /tmp for a caching mechanism. We should be able to set a caching time as a preference so that feeds aren't being grabbed every time the page is being reloaded. That way, I could collect some of my favorite sites and see their content on a single page. I haven't started working on it yet, I've just been thinking about it for a little while and exactly how I want to do it. > If you can do the diff, I'd like to have it, just in case I decide to > start working on 2.0.00 late > one night.

Fair enough - I've added a a conditional display of the caching row when you create a bookmark - no curl and it doesn't show. > I hope this delay to merge your code isn't taxing your patience. We > definitely plan to use it. No problem. I'll keep merging it locally until it's ready to be included. That way, I can make little tweaks and fixes along the way. -- darron froese new media technologist sutton javelin corporate communications t 403.716.0351 f 403.265.7662 e da...@ja... |
