You know how there’s a few sites out there that seem to be falling apart because of their narcissistic leaders or their inane IPO potentials? No fear of that happening here, but we welcome their refugees!
Now, combine that with how broken the submissions system has been on this site, then combine that with the fact that we’ve had the ability to create subsites for nearly a decade, but never took advantage of that potentiality.
That time is now! That time is here! Now just log in and you can either find a space and post content to your heart’s desire, or create your own space and then post to your hearts desire. The concept is a little like reddit, where whoever runs the space is in charge of the content that’s in there
There’s still an absolute ton of work left to be done here and this is just the beginning, but I’d like to think it’s a great start to something that’s honestly been a long time coming. Have suggestions or ideas? say something in the comments on this post.
I created my own space… now how do I upload?
ok, so that’s the question, I was trying to figure it out before anyone asked. creating a bespoke uploader is somewhat difficult. I’ll see what I can get done today and will give an update.
Also, I need to setup an option for Space Admins (you on your space) to enable or disable posting from other people.
until I have the upload figured out, you can use the form that’s in the sidebar for anything that’s on youtube, twitter, reddit or flickr, just put the url of the post in the url field and it’ll automatically load the content.
ERMERGERD!!! I have a backlog! LOL
ok, so absolutely everything is working on my test server, it’s creating the file, it’s saving the file name, it’s automatically renaming it, it’s attaching the post, but for some fucked up reason the file has a 0 bit size and that’s obviously not great. I have a businessman meeting to go do business in, so I’m going to table this until tomorrow, but I have more businessman business tomorrow too, so it’ll be later in the day that I get this resolved. maybe.
business ahoy!
Monkey Business??
no monkeys, but it was definitely bananas.
Single image uploads are now working on all the spaces!!!!
Maybe one day I’ll figure out how to handle multiple attachments on one post, but today’s not that day.
