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.
