- Monday 6. September 2010
Another minor update today which addresses the lack of a search function for writings. A search include for PHP-Fusion has been coded and is now implemented into the site. A new view has been introduced as well, oldest to newest, providing more ways to browse the database of writings. Listing issues with the not rated lists were also corrected.
- Sunday 5. September 2010
The Den's core infusion for writings has had a slight makeover and some issues addressed with the 2.4.20 minor upgrade. With this update users will note the removal of the 'Welcome' 'Rated' and 'Search' tabs from the writings area. The most notable change however will be the increase of results on both the front page and the writings areas. This is to address the issue of users writings not receiving as much exposure with the increase of activity observed over the last two years. The front page will now display 25 of the newest writings, while the writings are will display 50 results per page. To accommodate this, the writing results have been made expandable so users can expand the information if they feel the need to.

The Den of Amateur Writing runs on the PHP-Fusion CMS, as some members are aware. The PHP-Fusion development team released their newest edition of the system (PHP-Fusion 7.01.00) on August 1st, and I've been following it's progress since. Two days ago I made the initial attempt to upgrade, however due to a failed transfer with a locale file, some database entries were not altered correctly. I have fixed that error today, however it has erased the last two days of login information, comments, and forum posts. For more information on this update, please read the remainder of the article.

Contests will now run over a period of two months, and as a result August's submission has been extended until September 15th. So if you have an idea you haven't entered into the contest yet, enter it now!
Contests will now run from the first of a month, until the 15th of the following month. For example August's contest started August 1st, and will end on September 15th. The winner will be announced on September 25th.

It was a hard decision, but the winner has been chosen. The winner of the July contest is...Punchingbag and his entry, Second to None.

Poets are not alone in having a responsibility to keep the language fresh and alive. A glance over the landscape of our literature will reveal a remarkable truth: that almost any writing, on any subject, will survive and have its admirers if it is very good of its kind.-- A.C. Grayling |
