Exclamation Very short-term list of bug fixes and features

At the moment, this isn't complete, but here's a start of the things on my list that I'm aware of that need fixing on the site so far.

In NO particular order:

(X) User profile display not working right. (Not fancy, but fixed, 10/4/06)

__ Main navigation (top menu), I'm still working on the formatting.

__ Secondary navigation ( second menu line), plan on changing the formatting and the content so it's a little more obvious and helpful.

__ Consistency on making sure a valid zip/postal code or map entry is entered on listings.

__ Add better instructions to the googlemap applications so it's easier to understand how to add a map entry and which one is appropriate when.

__ Add more editing on listings to allow for place entries on non-shelter listings. (I think, not sure yet.)

__ More work to do on formatting on main site. Not happy with styles on content yet.

__ AFTER main issues are cleared up, go back and figure out secondary hover menu on sub-categories. Not easy.

__ Default in rescue listing number on adoption listings for rescues and shelters.

__ Add vBSEO to forum--for search engine optimization.

__ Upgrade forum to 3.6.2 as soon as that version comes out--due soon.

__ Add automatic thread of listing to the forum.

X Test automatic posting of new articles to forum. (10/2/06, 11pm)

__ Document everything in FAQs and pages (starts with this list!)

__ Go back and document the gazillion modifications to the classifieds script so that I can upgrade when the next new stable release comes out.

__ Rethink the overall layout of the top section of the site.

__ Get the process of reading RSS feeds down to a science and document well so other sites can pick them up.

__ Work on getting banners created so people can have nice graphics to link to this site with.

__ Clean up some of the inconsistent formatting on the listings script.

__ Add status code to rescue profiles and display.

__ Add comment count to summary and detailed listings (doesn't matter too much right now).

__ Add documentation about the price of For Sale classified ads to the Sales Profile among other places.

__ Change where and how the website field is added/updated in the profiles.

__ Validate more necessary data elements from profile on listings.

__ Cleanup and better customize email messages.

__ Consider renaming "inquire" button to "email" or add one.

__ Add form fields to "inquire" email like the old rescue site had to help people screen potential adopters.

__ Consider adding a nav box on the left on the listings.

__ Reformat the single 'featured' listings to add more data to the right of the thumbnail.

__ Add "Welcome" hack to forum and figure out how to add that the listings as well, especially on product details when coming from an RSS feed link.

__ Think about a color background change somewhere to differentiate types of listings on summary listings and featured blocks.

__ Have to finish converting the cavyrescue.com listings over to this site.

__ Go back through a ton of old email and notify the rescues that have wanted to be listed on the rescue list.

__ Notify all the rescues on the cavyrescue and probably create some listings for them to verify.

__ Then add all the appropriate redirects from CavyRescue.com to this site.
