Action logs and file page layout changes

  • Comment
Another updated feature has just been cranked out for the file database in the form of the action log. This is an updated version of the original Change Log feature of the site but provides more detailed information on specific updates that authors have made to their file entries. On top of this RSS feeds are available for the action logs of all files in the database, so those people who like to RSS it up can keep up-to-date with their favourite files through their RSS programs.

Tied to this is the introduction of a new content navigation for the file pages themselves. The description, action log, image gallery and mirrors are now linked to a single content area that dynamically loads without having to reload the entire page. The idea is to reduce the amount of page loads you need to make to find out the information you want on files. It's possible I could add file comments to this system as well.

There's more to come in the future.

    Haha, yeah, I need to get down and do that CSS soon, but I keep putting it off in order to get some of my higher priority stuff done in the time I have! :ph34r:

    By all means finish whatever you have planned and let me know when you're done. I'll re-examine the source then. Some of the changes I requested are already unnecessary as a result of the changes you've made. <img class="> No rush either, I'm fully booked the rest of the year.

    I really like the new tabbed layout. It's so much easier to bounce around now without resorting to the forward and backward browser buttons. Thanks!!

    Wow, great improvement! Perhaps like herosinger said, the comments could probably be displayed in this format as well. Less page loads means less bandwidth consumed right?

    Not a fan of the "improvements" I must say.
    Tabs were the most horrible web browser invention ever <img class=">

    Could we please have a way to just right-click and open the gallery in a new window again?
    That ability seems to have been taken away....

    Having the mods gallery crammed into one narrow strip of space that's only 1/3 the size of the page just looks really awkward - especially with everything stuck backwards on the left side of the page.

    The only problem I have with the tabs is that the ads are back for 'Premium' members even when I logged out & back in as well as a force page reload.


    I'll fix that ASAP.

    It's good to see the new additions to the site & is going to be quite useful. The only problem I have with the tabs is that the ads are back for 'Premium' members even when I logged out & back in as well as a force page reload.

    Great additions. They wreak havoc on my user css though. Not a problem when you implement the changes we discussed. Hint hint. <img class=">
