March 22, 2008, 05:06:03 pm - Site updated to SMF 2.0 Beta 3, and new layout by Daniel15
Hey everyone,
 Today I updated this site to the latest SMF version, SMF 2.0 Beta 3. In addition, I updated the site to use the new layout I was playing around with in my free time. I never actually finished it, but I thought that it was good enough to use here (I didn't actually finish the old one either ). This is the first layout I've done from scratch, so I'm quite proud

Please feel free to reply if you have any feedback

October 12, 2007, 08:17:10 pm - I won't be that active here by Daniel15_test
Hi everyone
Due to end-of-year exams for me in a few weeks, I won't be that active here until around 14th November (the date of my last exam). So if you don't receive any replies to your posts, this is why .

Thanks.

June 16, 2007, 12:48:00 pm - Hard drive failure... by Daniel15
Yesterday, I had a hard drive die on me  . It was a 160 GB Seagate Barracuda, and was less than a year old. It started with strange error messages late last night. I went to the server, reset it (need to power it off - It wouldn't shutdown cleanly), and now it won't boot. When I try to boot the system, I can hear the drive head hitting against the side of the drive, which makes me think there is a problem internally with the drive...
I'm looking into recovery options, though I think it will be way too expensive for my needs. If it is too expensive, I'll just have to cut my losses and move on.

Just as a note... If you don't see my working on my mods, this is the reason. A lot of my development work was on this server (it was my backup PC as well). Whilst I have local copies of stuff, a lot of it is slightly old. It's kinda depressing to have something like this happen, so I'm not really in a good mood at the moment

May 06, 2007, 12:44:07 am - FlashChat Integration Mod 1.0 released! by Daniel15
I'm proud to announce that version 1.0 of the SMF FlashChat Integration Mod is now out!
Changes in this version:

• Several new features:
  • Option to open chat in new window.
  • Option to show chat seperate from forum (full-page), like standard FlashChat.
  • Option to show users in chat at top of forum.
  • Option to show number of users in chat on chat button (eg. "Chat [2 Users]").
• A few very minor bugs (including the "logout bug") fixed

If you're currently using version 0.1, you will need to uninstall it before installing this new version.
Download it from http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=611 .

March 30, 2007, 09:48:50 pm - DanSoft Australia Development Site now officially up! by Daniel15
I'm proud to announce that the DanSoft Australia development site is now up (after a small beta period), at http://dev.dansoftaustralia.net/! The site is basically a SourceForge.net-like system, giving each user a powerful yet easy-to-use hosting platform for all their project's data. It is mainly aimed at collaboration between users (a group of users could all work on the one item, for instance), although any developer can benefit from it.

Anyone may sign up, and registering your project gives you access to these main features:

• Subversion (SVN) access
  Easily manage your project's source code
  
• File Release System
  An easy-to-use system to store all your project's releases. Each project may have more than one "package", and each package may have any number of files.
• News Announcements
  Any news relating to your project may be posted to its homepage. Selected news articles will appear on the dev.dansoftaustralia.net and www.dansoftaustralia.net homepages.
• Website hosting (including PHP)
  Each project gets its own homepage at <project name>.dev.dansoftaustralia.net. For security reasons, you'll need to contact me if you want access to the website hosting. The websites are created after you register, but I have to give you the server access details.
• Task management (TODO list)
  Keep track of what you need to do
• Issue/Bug Tracking
  Easily track bugs in your project
• Documentation Management
  A simple documentation management system, to upload any relevant documentation
• Mailing lists (may not be operational at the moment)

Probably the most useful feature is Subversion - It's a very easy-to-use SCM (Source Code Management) system, and allows multiple developers to work on the same code simultaneously (although it's also useful for single developers - I use it for the SMFShop code). Speaking of this, note that for anyone using the SVN version of SMFShop, it has moved to http://dev.dansoftaustralia.net/svn/smfshop/trunk/. Also, the development snapshots and statistics have moved to http://smfshop.dev.dansoftaustralia.net/.

I hope you enjoy it!

March 25, 2007, 01:52:52 pm - 2-column layout available by Daniel15
I finally managed to update the 2-column theme for this site, and reinstall it. You may change your theme in your profile, under "Look and Layout Preferences" (the default theme is also available, as is Babylon, the SMF 1.0 default theme).

The standard (3-column) layout is called Apollo-SMF1.1-3column-Daniel15, and the 2-column layout has the magnificent name of Apollo-SMF1.1-2column-Daniel15 (I should really change this!)
