Design:

I made a pretty decent design for Sankaku, which fits the color palette of the site very good. I still need some icons for the first 4 mode commands.

Translations:

I also need someone, who can translate all the commands and informations into moon speak. I will provide a list with commands the next time.

Preview:

It won't be necessary to make the thumbs bigger anymore, because the add-to-fav icon will be really useful with the preview mode, since you are able to see what you are favoriting. Still getting hot-linking error sometimes, even though the whole post container is loaded into a hidden container.
Should I put ads above the preview image? The ads would be the one from the post page (which are pretty huge with 200px in height, maybe there are smaller ads I can put up there).

Changes during programming process:

Left out following commands:

  • Edit tag script / Apply tag script: I don't know if anyone uses these, but the current application is not very userfriendly. If there is any need for these commands, I can make a better version of this later on. But it's not in the menu for now.
  • Merge tags: This command was supposed to merge tags with a chosen or the parent post. But it's gone now.
  • Copy tags to clipboard: I really wanted this command, but unfortunately you can't copy stuff directly from javascript into clipboard and need a lot of weird third party scripts, which use SWFs to copy.

See the On-hover-menus in action:

Tested in Chrome, Firefox (Firefox needed so much special treatment, wow?!) and IE.

Still ToDo and features for the future:

  • Animated icon in the footer (for gifs, flash).
  • InfoBox while parenting: Why is the hovered post better than the chosen one? => Showing information: older/younger, animated, etc.
  • QuickEdit box needs some fix:
    • Box is draggable, if the textarea is not focused. This makes it hard for firefox users to resize the box if they dont focus the textarea.
    • Can't preview Flash in QuickEditBox, so definitely need some conditions for this.
  • Save settings (chosen thumb, parenting icons, selected mode) in document.cookie or localstorage.
  • Commands and better UI on post/show/ pages maybe far in the future.
  • Gallery mode far in the future.
  • We should also put moderation commands into the context menu in a future update: approving, deleting, etc.
