[READ] Todo List

Posted 9 years, 7 months ago (Edited 6 years, 10 months ago) by lulu

on the todo list in very rough order of priority:

  • Authorization levels - kinda done, but still looking for ways to improve
  • Worlds Overhaul.
  • View Previous Posts / Subscribed Threads / Created Threads
    • Actually probably just a General Forums overhall...
    • Allowing users to delete their own threads.
    • Showing when posts have been edited (+ possible for mods to see original post?)
  • Folder icons and blurbs
  • Species creation
  • Literature submissions/pages for characters
    • Changable privacy levels for the pages possibly
    • "AU" pages
  • Clean up mass image/character management
  • QoL fixes
    • Mass deletion, links to individual edit panels
    • "Next" button when browsing through character pages.
    • "Are You Sure You Want to Delete" pop-up when hitting delete for posts/comments/everything
  • Deleting comments probably needs a confirmation panel...
  • Site search
    • Character search by tag or unverified URL
    • Image search by URL might be useful too, hm
  • Fix thread notifications links to take you to the latest page... Actually I should have it take you directly to the post, I was too lazy when coding this and it's gonna be a pain in the ass to change now
    • Same with thread links on the forum's front page
  • Random character/user link (only for listed and public characters & users)
  • User autocompletion
  • Tag blocking
  • Layout fixing like just in general going around and fixing forms and also checking to see that everything wraps correctly
  • Liking or favving forum posts
  • World tags maybe
    • World galleries
  • Popular world listing on the front page thinks about it... Maybe worlds that've added a lot of members in the past few days? hm...
  • Have a look at a chat... I don't think cloudflare works with websockets so I'll need to have a think about it rubs chin I don't really like the idea of an AJAX chat
  • Image thumbnail / character avatar cropping tool
    • This is half done but I realised it was taking way too long so I've shelved it for later...
  • Drag & drop uploading
  • Bulk image/characters upload
  • Tagging images with multiple characters
    • stares into the distance i'm not looking forward to this
  • Image tagging and specialised/tagged galleries, embedded galleries for character pages
    • stares further into the distance... also not... looking forward to this...
  • Dice rollers on the forums
  • Downloading threads as a PDF/etc... / downloading character profiles?
  • Custom Post Formatting
  • Delete images from image manager
  • Character link sorting/deleting
    • Editable icons seperate from the character icons?
  • More user options including # of charas displayed on a page.

Feature fixes / comments

  • Watermarked thumbnails needs to be looked at, I'm not really happy with it atm.. 
  • Commission a logo artist for a clean logo 
  • I should just outsource the front end to a proper front end developer
  • Fix how images teleport when you try to drag one that's at the end of the row

Features I'm thinking about and welcome suggestions for:

  • Anonymous comments (if I do throw this in you're still certainly going to have to be logged in so the recipient can report malicious content if necessary)
  • Allowing for fandom/canon characters 
  • World chats - just mulling it over right now...

minsu  Ah, i understand ok! Hmm well, I already suggested option to move tabs to the bottom of the page instead of the top, I think Lulu replied to me that she'd add it. My concern is that, if I have waterfox, yevren, cinnadog/ect on and on and on, Plus tags like adopted, personal, rp groups and world names ect. The characters themselves get pushed to the far bottom of the page and it's really not pretty with all those cluttered tags all over the top :( I only have about 20 characters, and when I tag them the way I wanted, there was literally 3 lines of tags alone. I love the tags, and the idea/search will be amazing I know, I just think that they really should be moved to the bottom of the page perhaps. :D

minsu ohhh I see ^^ thank you

I didn't see this one here buT maybe a specific place for a reference picture to go so it isnt under a pile of other art? QvQ"

Just thought of something... again, not sure if it's a silly idea, but since many of us on this site, like to get art from others of our characters, maybe it would be nice to have an art forum on here~ Not so much for sharing art, but for finding artists that are selling art, or want to do trades, or even to offer freebies from time to time, because I find that fun to do sometimes~ : ) I realize we can do this on other sites, but it might be nice to have a connection specifically to the users of this site~ : )

Thanks again for taking the time to read my suggestion~ ♥

minsu Cool, thanks for taking my suggestion into consideration OuO I hate to come back with more requests so soon but I've had a couple things come up while uploading some of my characters.

  • This sort of a question more than a suggestion but what would we do in the case of a species that has two or more co-owners, in terms of crediting Creatorship? The first solution that comes to mind would be to allow multiple Creators but I'm not sure how well that would work with the current Creator/Designer split since I imagine that could become confusing hmm :/
  • A way to indicate co-ownership on a character would be really great. I've seen several instances where a co-owner tries to sell off full ownership to a character without alerting their partner(s) or telling the buyer that the character is co-owned, so I think being able to show that a character is shared between people might be able to prevent this. I imagine this could take some work to add in, but I think co-ownership of characters is common enough that it'd be worth looking into.
  • Adding links with offsite characters or characters without a real page. Most of my current characters' mates/family/friends belong to people without Toyhou.se accounts, or are characters that I own but are more like side characters, which I don't make pages for because it'd sort of be overkill to make entire profiles for all the characters I only ever use once for someone else's backstory haha.

I think that was all that came to mind for now hm. Sorry to be piling more ideas onto you guys, I see you already have a lot to do and I really appreciate the hard work you're putting into this place <3

Here is just a suggestion of mine, sorry if it was already suggested.
Would it be possible to divide the trade forums into: Trades, Resales, and Sales? Or like have them be sub-forums?

I just kinda like to browsing that way. I can see the argument to not wanting to separate sales and resales because that might seems a little dice-y.

However, suggestion on top of this one, maybe a way to “bump” up a thread without having to re-post. Like a little button you can simply push that “bumps” it back up to the top. It could possibly have a timer, like once a week or something?

That might be too complicated, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway!

The only thing that bothers me is how it automatically shows you the oldest comment first as opposed to taking you to the newest comments. I do apologise if there's already a setting to change that though!

minsu

@Shiburu I believe mass watermarking is a premium feature. And, rather than having to view watermarket to changed, the watermark has already been changed its just the old version is cached on your computer.

Wyrdwurm

There's a couple features I would like to see maybe in the far future

feature one is that for offsite links you can offer a name box and link box so that their name will be hyperlinked instead of having just the url credited

second is I would love the option of being able to credit multi artists on one art piece if it's a Collab or/and be able to supply multi links to one person. Say they are well known on da but I ordered off some pet site I like to link to both.

TreeTale

Just thought, it might be cool to have a recently updated section to browse though characters in the future? Like when people add art or update the description (maybe have a check box for saying if you want to publicly update it or not, as I know I personally sometimes edit descriptions to often). Just because it would be nice to see older character come up again if people are updating them~ : )

Sheep

Unsure if this has been suggested yet but

Just like you can request ownership, it might be good to request to be tags on art? Or suggest people to be tagged on art. I run a accross a lot of art I'm like "Oh it is this artist on toyhouse I wish I could request/suggest the toyhouse username" I mean I can just use the mail system, but I think it might be easier if you can just suggest that way as well.

 

I think I also noticed that if you edited a credit on a piece of art from a URL to a toyhouse user account it doesn't show up under the persons "art tab" on their profile.

minsu

MamaELM We've talked a bit about this and are working on a solution... Sorry, kind of a vague answer but we're trying to fiddle around with what would work best. @__@

GrossGoat Sounds like a cool idea, how would you want it to show up? Highlighted in your gallery? In a special section of its own?

TreeTale Yes art forum, will make that.

Updated characters...hmm, the problem I see with that is people who make minute changes to their characters to bump them up. What do you think of that?

@Chuchuzorua uHHH...credit one under creator and one under designer. I think the person who initially created the species should be credited as creator. I also don't think we'll be allowing multiple creators any time soon, or at the moment, so maybe ask the co-owners if they had any preference?

co-ownership...we'll figure something out. This fix might be a bit hard because of the way the site is made, so at the moment I suggest just putting a "co-owned w (user)" in the profile. Sorry for that rough patch-up.

Links with offsite characters probably won't go through either, though I will ask. Sorry about that!

Sheep Uh...I mean, it can be done but I'm not sure if it is really necessary. Especially for people that have charas they want to trade, charas they want to resell, and stuff, then they'd have to make three different threads.

Bumping sounds cool! I'll bring it up. : )

Requesting art tags...probably won't happen soon, but is probably gonna happen...sooner or later... yeah...

and I don't think that's the case because I've edited characters to credit artists that have joined, and I've seen it show up in their galleries, but if you have solid examples/link/screenshots send them my way! You might have to look back a few pages because it sorts the art by upload date.

@Lunamoth19 Like I told Chuchuzorua, offsite links probably won't happen. We'll see though.

Multiple artist tagging sounds good, I'll bring it up.

 

I THINK THATS EVERYTHING DEEP BREATH once again sorry for the slow replies if I missed anything, let me know o/

GrossGoat

minsu !! ! eeee i'm glad you think so /w \ ! hMM LIKE-- on the character's page, maybe at like, the top or something, above the written information and gallery? IDK, just somewhere noticeable with the rest of this info, so people don't have to search through the gallery to find it qvq there is probably coding stuff to do this, buT i am horrible with codes, and i just thought it would be easier! qvq
