Secret Project Unveiled!

May 21st, 2008

YES. What you all have been so obviously waiting for. What I've been agonizingly teasing you with for months...and cackling with evil glee, I might add. I think I'm really good at being suspenseful, although I probably need to learn to not be so hasty to reveal that I'm even doing anything secret too soon. Since you are most likely thinking "cut the senseless babbling, and get on with it", I will. :)

myFan Collective

I would like to happily introduce myFan, a fanlisting collective management script written by me! :D It began as an idea back when I was creating my new design and sort of developed from there. I had just wanted a simple way to display different types of fanlistings for myself, but have since expanded my idea. :)

You can see a working example of what myFan does on the front-end on my collective. It is a muted example, the admin section isn't fully functional enough for me to offer up any "sandbox" to play with. But I think the screenshots suffice. :)

myFan will have quite a few little convenient features but I'm trying my best to keep it as simple as possible. I want it to be usable by anyone, no matter what level of coding experience you may have. It will be different from the other scripts available, at least in how it is organized, but I'm not settling for anything permanent just yet. All features and functions can be readily replaced or revised.

If you'd like to be considered when I choose my alpha/beta testers for it in the future, you may leave me a comment here on this post or just contact me. If you don't want to test it but would like to be notified of updates, then specify that instead. :)

I honestly can't give a release date, because this is my first script and I'm going to do it right. I'll string out the testing until I've gotten it as perfect as possible for the first round. If you aren't selected to test it in the beginning, no worries. It will be available for public testing at a later time. As for when I will actually open testing, that is still yet to be determined as I have to iron out a few of the final larger functionalities first.

Comments or suggestions? I'm quite excited about it! :goodie:

You forgot to tell everyone how much I suck.

What makes you think I don’t have a scathing post being written for a future date?! You just wait…your suckiness will be revealed to the world…IN FULL! :goodie:

Cristina May 21, 2008

YES! CENA WANTS! :ohyeah: :dance: :goodie:

Ashley May 21, 2008

I definitely want to test this out. My fanlisting collective needs a major overhaul, and this might give me the motivation I need. :D Very cool Melissa!

Ashley May 21, 2008

And I’d like to add that school/work is out for me after next week, so I should have plenty of time to test things out! :D

Vasili May 21, 2008

Oh, I’ll beta test it :ohyeah:

TBQ May 21, 2008

Awesome! Is it a script for only fanlisting collectives?

Melissa May 21, 2008

Is it a script for only fanlisting collectives?

That is its primary purpose, yes. :) Just to showcase and list joined and owned fanlistings and custom listings (cliques, hatelistings, etc) if you so choose.

It is only to list though and not to create them individually. Like you can’t create and run an owned fanlisting through this script. Keepin’ it simple. :)

Rachael May 21, 2008

You know you’ve done a great job with this. I don’t need to say anything else. <3

Sarai May 21, 2008

Wow, what a wonderful script! If I had fanlistings to manage, I’d be psyched. :goodie:

Ramsha May 21, 2008

That looks like an excellent and very useful script for people like me who like to mingle with flat-files so much more than databases. :D

Can I please be kept updated on the progress for myFan? I’m not exactly tester material, so I’ll just be in the back here supporting y’all!

Aisling May 21, 2008

I forgot to mention that I actually just opened by fanlisting list… thingy. And I was like “Gah, why isn’t there a short cut for this?!?!” I ended up using WP. Which is like… wayyy excessive. :( So, yeah, I’m uber stoked. :P

Also, I feel like I should make this comment longer, because you’re the last 3 commenters on my site. So… I luff you. And I promise to stop trying to hack your site. :P

Enzo May 21, 2008

It looks gorgeous! Once I get into making fanlistings again, I’ll go try it. :)

Melissa May 21, 2008

Thanks for the feedback everyone. :D

And eep, I hope you all realize that this script has not been released yet and will most likely be in testing for a LONG time. XD It’s not even ready for that yet! Maybe in a week or so…if I work very hard. Here’s to being motivated! :goodie:

Jessica May 22, 2008

After my move I was going to overhaul my entire fanlisting collective & change an my fls over to bellabuffs. But I’ll wait till you release this so I can do it all at once. :D So yeah hurry up woman!

Enzo May 22, 2008

Oh, and btw, I wanna test it as well. :dance:

Tracy May 22, 2008

Oh wow - how nice! I’d test it :)

Yos May 22, 2008

Lisa May 22, 2008

Miranda May 23, 2008

That’s freakin’ awesome! I can’t wait to check it out when you have it all figured out and ready. :goodie:

Louise May 23, 2008

Oh wow, your own management script? That’s a huge leap for a first PHP script.

Great work Melissa! :ohyeah:

Christine May 24, 2008
