As you might have noticed in the last few days we are performing maintenance updates on a daily basis introducing heaps of fixes, optimizations and enhancements to the whole WackWall platform, primarily for better and more stable functionality of social network sites created upon it.
Thus WackWall and your network on it become better every day. We have a nice long list of tiny details to work on. Think you can contribute to it? Always welcome!
So far you can track our status updates or subscribe for RSS feed.
On the other hand we have a roadmap of features to finish this summer:
Stay tuned for all the wonderful things coming to your social network with WackWall! We are all about delivering value to your community users so let us know if we can do a better job of building a cool destination for them.
Here comes another WackWall Weekly issue announcing important news and changes for the young and growing WackWall community.
This is a very important change so you should check now if your custom CSS is compliant with the new changes. This change is required for more detailed customization of your network and prepares WackWall networks for the more powerful customization tools that are being developed right now.
Also we introduce improved default network template which will do a better job for starting up. All networks that don’t have customized templates are changed accordingly.
To activate this feature go to “Features/Layout” page of your admin area (”Configuration” section) and add the corresponding box to your network index page. We will come up with blog RSS feeds and main blog for networks shortly.
as a better presentation of what WackWall is and how it can be used).
with one-click shortcuts to all available settings pages.
As a user you have probably noticed that these new things are already being tested live for several days. So far so good, don’t forget to submit your feedback, suggestions, and bug-reports on Wackmasters forum.
We continue serious backend elaborations including general usability and technical enhancements everywhere like adding appropriate links/tools/interfaces, code optimizations, additional features like smilies engine for all user input and such. Although usually not announced explicitly these things are gradually implemented and come to make life easier for all Wackmasters and their users.
Our goal is to make every WackWall-powered social network website a superb place to communicate. This also greatly depends on your activity in Wackmasters forum because real-life feedback from actual users is something that can’t be replaced with any level of several persons’ insight. We need you no less than you need us.
Now to some concrete things being developed right now:
Miley Cyrus Supporter Club |
Harry Potter’s Fans |
UGP Friendspace! |
Life Philosophy |
These social networks were created on WackWall platform with no additional programming, using administration tools available.
We are planning to add 2 kinds of widgets that will greatly help with creating content for your social network on WackWall.
1) RSS widget - allowing you to obtain content from an arbitrary RSS feed of any source, like blogs, YouTube, Flickr, and so on. Not that your site should be stuffed with RSS-taken 3rdparty content only but it will help your network take off with constant and fresh content on the topic. Is there anything users love more?
2) Custom HTML widget - a widget that just lets you put any HTML content within it. It can be used for additional wording, promo, non-standard types of content, and… advertisement. Note that we don’t prohibit putting your own ads on your network even if you don’t plan to purchase ControlPack to eliminate/replace WackWall ad banner - you can run your own unlimited ads as well.
If you think you know what we should be aware of when developing these features, or have an idea of other widgets that help you build content for your network, feel free to let us know! WackWall is a project that is destined to be in heavy development during the whole its lifetime and our goal is to make your social network a really cool place to commuincate.
Just a quick note of news:
1) chuPPo Chat has become lightweight due to its transition to Flex 3 framework. Now it will load faster than before thus improving users’ experience.
2) Due to numerous requests we have implemented “video in pop-up” feature. Now if you look at someone’s video in chuPPo Chat you can not only put it to video dock but also open it in a separate popup window - this makes it possible to resize the video without interfering with chat interface.
Feel free to check at chuPPo Chat demo.
