Updates on the web based portal

I'm getting quite a number of inquiries about the new web portal so here are some answers to clear up some dust: 1.) Yes, it's in production. it will take on the name "Web Platinum", "Irisheyez' Portal (with a curse)" or something like that. Nothing's written in stone though. 2.) No there are no screenshots yet. first I have to get the skeleton up and running, then i add in the styles to make it lag abit. 3.) This also means hardware/server upgrades for neomallers so when it's closer to being done, we'll go through an upgrade process which means the servers could be offline 24-72 hours depending on where you live. But for the most part, server migration should be complete within a day. This will probably happen around April/May since that's when my current plan expires. 4.) No, there is no estimated completion time as of right now. However, some basic features may start coming online as early as next week :O It will be an ongoing project like the neomallers portal pro edition 5.) It will be written in [b]php[/b] with a MySQL database backend with some javascript to speed things up, so this means, no Adobe Flash. For some of you, this is great news since flash lags like hell, especially on craptops. *pokes NC Mall and Neohomes V2* Java is a pain since not everyone has it. 6.) You will be able to import your neomallers portal data into the web platinum and hopefully vice versa. I'm also hoping to set up some kind of synchronization system (probably via manual means) but this might never happen since it's complicated and tedious at this point. 7.) Irisheyez is the greatest.... at punishing mallers. ^^

Ok I'm ditching flash. Doesnt seem like a good option and makes things complicated and incompatible with mobile devices for example So i'll go javascript/php/mysql route. The usual business. Plus it'll interface with this site better

Hello, I was just wondering how it was going and if you might have an ETA for this new feature ;) . Thanks for all your hard work. If its not to much trouble could you put up user guide for people like me hehe. And will it still be web linked? Thanks KaZZeY 0:-)

Yay! I approve :)

More updates. The beta is progressing very well but we still need a name :P FYI, it's completely web based so it's accessible from alot of devices such as iPhones. Plus i can code it 10 times faster It will use the same system base from the currently existing lite version of the Portal and the first release will be entirely based in text. Minimal jsript code will be used to make things swifter The 2nd release will follow shortly while the beta test continues and eye candy + styles that fit the neomallers theme will add. More jscript will be added such as clipboard copying and whatnot. Oh and this means, within the next few days or so, beta tests will be opening up, so if you're interested, let me know but beware, things could break ----------------------------- [color=purple]Contrary to popular belief, the Irish and I are not married[/color]

Also, name wise, why is a spiffy name needed? you just called the downloadable version "Neomallers Portal V #.#". Why not "Neomallers webitron" Or something simple? ----------------------------- [color=green]NeoMallers.com [b]tent-free[/b] policy now in effect. Keep your heads clean.

I'd love to Beta test too - I'm not very computer literate so it would be a different perspective on the web based portal : ) Books & More http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=starr_2525
