[Plugin] Cotonti Social

Contributors Thanked: 16 times	Hey there community, I've recently been working on the idea of creating a social network feel within Cotonti's user system, and I wanted to give everyone a preview of what's in-store with this extension. I have no intention of making a facebook duplicate out of Cotonti, but merely taking some of the interesting features (such as user walls, friends list, photo albums, etc..), and incorperating them into the users module to make your website a little more interactive. I've made some pretty good progress within the last two nights, and I hope to complete the extension within the next couple of days. Here is a list of features I plan to include in the initial release: Friends List - Add friends and allow them to post on your wall. User Wall - Post your own statuses, have your friends comment on them, allows friends to post on your wall. Whats to come in the future: Like/Dislike - can't create a social network without the like button (or +1 for you google people) Photo Ablums - using the default photo option from your profile isn't cutting it.. Here are some screen shots of my current progress.. everything you see in them is completely functional so far. (and yes.. that is my tattoo in this picture ) We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

Hey there community,

I've recently been working on the idea of creating a social network feel within Cotonti's user system, and I wanted to give everyone a preview of what's in-store with this extension. I have no intention of making a facebook duplicate out of Cotonti, but merely taking some of the interesting features (such as user walls, friends list, photo albums, etc..), and incorperating them into the users module to make your website a little more interactive.

I've made some pretty good progress within the last two nights, and I hope to complete the extension within the next couple of days. Here is a list of features I plan to include in the initial release:

Friends List - Add friends and allow them to post on your wall.
User Wall - Post your own statuses, have your friends comment on them, allows friends to post on your wall.

Whats to come in the future:

Like/Dislike - can't create a social network without the like button (or +1 for you google people)
Photo Ablums - using the default photo option from your profile isn't cutting it..

Here are some screen shots of my current progress.. everything you see in them is completely functional so far.

(and yes.. that is my tattoo in this picture )

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

Donator Thanked: 5 times	Looks really nice! This surely will come in handy in the future for, like you say, give your members a little extra. Would it be possible for you to intergrate: sent a PM, a users posts/topics/pages and that kind of things? <img src="http://www.armaholic.com/datas/thumbs/green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-preview_4.jpg" alt="green-sea-battalion-uniforms-version-03-" />

Members Thanked: 12 times	Will this be a sepeate extension to the user profiles or will you simply be able to include it with tags and seperate tpl files? Nice tattoo btw.

Team Thanked: 74 times	Looks very nice, Dyllon. Definitely going to use it on Siena when you release it!

Team Thanked: 52 times	Hi dyllon, awesome work there. If you need help with anything just ask. I can also add some Siena optimizations such as caching if you like.

Contributors Thanked: 16 times	Hey Gert, I appreciate the offer for help, and I'm actually going to take you up on it. I've encountered a little bug which I can't seem to fix when redirecting back to the user's profile page. Using the following code redirects me to the users list, rather than their profile. cot_redirect(cot_url('users', 'm=details&id=' . $friendid)); This code redirects me to this. Notice it is the correct URL, but the & is displayed in it's html form. index.php?e=users&m=details&id=2 Any ideas? We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

cot_redirect(cot_url('users', 'm=details&amp;id=' . $friendid));

index.php?e=users&amp;m=details&amp;id=2

Any ideas?

Members Thanked: 5 times	Terrible tattoo great plugin :) "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live."

Team Thanked: 52 times	Remove & from the call to cot_url and add true as the 4th param for cot_url. The 3rd is an empty string. So it becomes: cot_redirect(cot_url('users', 'm=details&id=' . $friendid, '', true)); By setting the last param to true, you indicate to cot_url that it shouldn't do htmlentities (convert & to &). This is a requirement when you use it in combination with cot_redirect, because http redirect urls shouldn't be html encoded. For the record, the 3rd param can be used to set the url hash (#abc).

Donator Thanked: 7 times	No, not lazy.. just everytime I try sienna there is something that doesn't act like it should, or things don't work properly.. that's why I haven't bothered with switching yet.
