JookBox / News: Recent posts

I made some simple changes to post data in version 0.6 so that Jookbox will work with PHP 4.3.. I will try to find some time as soon as possible to get to beta and be feature complete. After that, I'll most likely add MySQL support.

Thanks

For some reason, Sourceforge lists oldest files first. If you want to use JookBox, use version 0.5.

take a peek...

The biggest improvement of this release is to code readability and logic. I separated all of the HTML from the PHP code and added a basic template system to help configure output. I removed or rewrote many of the functions and added a TON of comments to help myself (and others) making sense of the code. This release is important because it had to be done before I finished adding the missing features (custom playlists and such). This release addressed most of those changes needed, while adding increased performance and reliability. For a full list, see CHANGES.

I've changed a ton of things and am working on releasing a new version soon. The first version was a total hack to get it out the door. I'm re-writing the main function and adding a basic template configuration system in order to separate code from HTML as well as offer easy configuration. I'm also doing a lot of code cleanup and comment adding. Shouldn't be long now...

I will be working on JookBox soon...

I could use some feedback on how to implement custom playlists. I'm currently leaning twards using cookies to store them vs. text file.
The upside to cookies is:
No world-writable files on the server
No user authentication needed
No cluter on the server!
Downsides:
Cookies have a size limit
no way to save Playlists on the server...
Could be more trouble than it's worth...

Let me know what you think...... read more

I put a demo of JookBox v.04 up on the Sourceforge server. The Admin page is there but not active. There's not much to see on this page anyhow. It just does it's thing and directs you to the main page when done. The music is not actually there either but you should get a feel for what it does.

DISCLAMERS:
* The SF site is kinda slow... it's not JookBox.
* Navigation is doen through the search feature for now... leave the text feild blank to get full lists.
Enjoy,... read more

CVS is up and I'm now seeing why everyone bitches about it. More to come...

Here is the initial release of JookBox. Everything is basically working except custom playlists...
