- AttackingHobo, on 01/04/2008, -5/+45DO A BARREL ROLL
PRESS Z OR R TWICE TO DO A BARREL ROLL - asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -3/+22Some of you may remember "Lingua," from a previous digg submission. This engine is the latter form of that, completely recoded from scratch and designed from a whole new perspective.
- FatPhizzle, on 01/04/2008, -0/+12am i missing something?
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -0/+11I'm not sure. I dugg him up and pinned his post for the cause though.
- cameronio, on 01/04/2008, -1/+11Great work Alex. Simple, easy to use, effective.
- Louis11, on 01/04/2008, -1/+10Uhm . . . shell out $5/month for a cheap server that offers MySQL =/
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -2/+11So is your apparent need to be a douche to everyone. I would've commented had this been any other submission because, well, I guess I'm just not a big fan of douches. (Is that really all you have against me though? I comment on my own submissions? Please, I think I can hear the sky falling.)
- arjung, on 01/04/2008, -0/+8What does Chyrp do that other blogging engines can't or don't?
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -0/+8The thing about people like you that makes me laugh is that there's always 0% investigation before you make rude comments like that. I'm not going to do your work for you. Look around, read a bit, and hopefully in a couple years you'll be a little brighter.
- ThirdPrize, on 01/04/2008, -0/+8Like that ever stopped anyone.
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -1/+9It's all explained on the page it links to. (I don't mean that to be snide or anything, I'm just assuming that's a genuine question. :)
- fwc67, on 01/04/2008, -0/+8That only works in Firefox
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -3/+10If that's the case, your comment's even worse.
- jklikesnews, on 01/04/2008, -1/+8Definitely going to use this, it's exactly what I've been looking for.
- TenebrousX, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7you don't need server access to cache a page; just run the script once and store the output in a static file
- Karmavs, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Absolutely everyone is an administrator - OF COURSE ITS INSECURE
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -1/+7Right, because I'm just *swimming* in cash from all this this. Having a bunch of idiots take advantage of the demo for *free* software is such a financial gain for me. Hell, I'd bury it myself if I could!
- thailand1972, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6does it cache?
- YourTechSupport, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Well. Ugly can usually be fixed. But... hey, lightweight tumblr style.. I'm in!
- alecwh, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6A CMS is a "content management system". If it manages content (it does), it's a CMS. Oh, and it looks great.
- Orb9, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Really....
I can inject malicious HTML/scripts... Im cool!!! - Hobbes24, on 01/04/2008, -1/+6now the only excuse i can use not to write a blog is my crippling lack of talent.
- iofthestorm, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Nah, they'll still be hosted on crappy shared webhosts so it won't make a difference what blogging software they are using.
- stevekeller, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Well I am glad that I had the chance to demo it before digg users abused the opportunity. Nice work, I am going to try it on my own server.
- YourTechSupport, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Okay.... Post-install thoughts..
I Like...
- the simple install
- the pick-your-own feathers bit
- inline editing
- the fast response time
I didn't like...
- My hyperfocus disorder'd ass didnt' see any specific notices about poeple needing to go install feathers seperately.
glitches...
- posting video w/out commentart text = blank post w/ no embed code.
- I couldn't find that 'anal massage' module on your site. Thankfully I have Reddit for that.
I'd like to see...
- Feather to post twits to twitter w/ links to it in the resulting chryp post
- Stats tracking module
- Integrated ReCaptcha for comments - aussieNickuss, on 01/04/2008, -0/+4I applaud you to have the initiative to post to digg for promotion and testing. Digg is the best load handling testing platform out there IMHO.
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -0/+4It's valid, that's just the search form so it shows a bit "smarter" in Safari. Either way, that's 100% the theme, nothing to do with Chyrp itself.
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -2/+6Lingua was renamed to Chyrp due to trademark stuffs, if it weren't for that it'd still be called Lingua. Other than that there really isn't much of a similarity at all I guess, so you're right.
I would hardly call this a cms since it only focuses on one thing; in my opinion a cms is usually forums, a news system, all that crazy stuff. This just focuses on blogging. - Karmavs, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3you should probably make the demo a little less wide-open if you can. (though it is fun to watch)
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3You're right, I'll see what I can do.
- Gzero, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3Look at the demo page.
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3I didn't bother coding an editor into the admin panel since it's just much nicer to edit with a text editor. Inline editors always made me all emo. :/
- Karmavs, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3Guess so…
wouldn't it be possible to block all tags except, say, strong, em, and u for posts and comments, and block the video post type? You'll still get the stupid posts, but nothing like the crazyness of the 'redesign' that came up before you pulled the site down. (and no spam links either) - asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -1/+4That too. I've been stressed like hell fixing things you guys are breaking. D:
A lot of the people here are major douches but eh, I guess I do it for the other croud. :P - thailand1972, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3You don't need access to the server (as TenebrousX points out below); the PHP can create the cache (static HTML files) so the actual site admin doesn't need to do a single thing.
- Orb9, on 01/04/2008, -0/+3Just because Hilary has a snuke in her snizz doesn't mean they support Obama..
- jcaino, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2im disappointed to see that the demo is broken. but definitely very cool how you're keeping up with this. digg as a debugging tool? lol.
guess i'm going to have to install this on one of my domains and check it out. - aussieNickuss, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2That's rude. Bury it just because you can't get your greasy hands on it. Download it and try it locally, it's only a few KB, ya slackass.
- Mardala, on 01/04/2008, -1/+3Well regardless about the spam factor, if you want some constructive criticism. You use classes, but you treat them like procedural functions. Don't use global. maybe spend some more time with php5 classes. There is too much embedded nonsense. But its good to build complete apps. I wouldn't call it a 1.0 release by any means. its not ready for production as you have noticed.
- arkmtech, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2What in God's name sort of host doesn't allow MySQL databases?
... oh, wait, I forgot about these talentless hacks: http://www.townnews.com - darkphan, on 01/04/2008, -1/+3I don't see anything wrong with this submission. Chyrp looks very nice (I have it installed locally to mess with).
What about all the damn Ron Paul spam that we have had to endure for months on end? - asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -1/+3Using PHP5 code locks out a huge amount of people. I use classes because it's great for organizing and keeping things together. I'd rather have the functions split up and organized than sprawled left and right.
- asuraci, on 01/04/2008, -1/+3Of course it's going to be buggy, not a single software release is perfect at the first shot.
My site's working just fine for me and for everyone else it seems. - bowe, on 01/04/2008, -2/+4quick everyone mass-post lolcats!
- ghinch, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2Admittedly I'm an Apple Fanboy and also a web developer, and I have to say the difference between Apple introducing the search type vs. MS proprietary code is that Apple isn't breaking anything if you don't support it, unlike MS that makes you fork your code to make things work everywhere. I'm more pissed at Apple for making textareas resizable in Safari 3. Breaking layouts left and right
- audiooeric, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2you know, I made like $0.52 with Google Ad's but in the few days since I have put that link up, I've gotten 2 coffees.. I'll take it.. I was tired of seeing these crazy google ads that were kind of crappy sites getting clicks that I had no control over. So, you can laugh, but I'm getting people to buy me coffee!
- bradp, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2Well we know that it won't survive the Digg effect, but that's like kicking a toddler down the stairs and saying see I told you what would happen... Especially if you allow every user to admin the site... It looks like they've shut / locked down the demo, not much to see there, but the extending is what has me looking at this thing.. I think that it's an out of the box (post install) the system that is simple enough, but time will tell the power of this engine. I'm going to install in a sand pit, and have some fun...
- jcaino, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2if you're stil checking up on this - to get it working 'out-of-the-box' i did have to implemt a php wrapper due to permission problems. while this is available with most hosts, it does normally have a performance impact that comes with it.
edit: the permissions problems im referring to is not with the config or database file.., but line 77 (and many after) in common.php - tdous, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2***** Microsoft, ignoring standards and introducing proprietary types.. oh wait.
- Orb9, on 01/04/2008, -0/+2While it lasted :)
