2532|Gigs [Development Update]

We recently released v1.1 [beta] of 2532|Gigs and have had several downloads and NO bug reports yet, so we are happy and ready to start the next release. This last release contain tons of new features and a few bug fixes. We added support for multiple artists, improved RSS (total gigs feed or artist feed), database backup (you can import/export your database when updating), custom date format (you can set your date format during install) and of course a language system (we currently have a few people translating the script and the language packs will be released soon).

We are working on a few new things right now. First I’m working on a complete rewrite of the show_gigs format. Basically I plan to add a template system so users will be able to use gig_tags to add the data where they want to. You can read more about it on my post in the forums. Basically I will be separating the xhtml from the php. Which is what I should have done in the first place, but never did, I just hardcoded tables. Another thing we are looking into is adding custom fields. We have had lots of requests to add different fields, everything from age, door time, ticket info, etc. This would require us to add 50+ fields on the Add Gig page. However, we are looking into adding custom fields so users can create their own fields, name them whatever, and include them in their template as needed. I think it would add another level to the script.

On a side note; I am a new developer for MyRadioSite (MRS). MRS is php script that allows you to manage your shoutcast server with ease. Its in early stages at the moment. Currently I am cleaning up the code and writing a user system. I not sure if I will stay a developer on it but I am attempting to help where needed. I have a lot on my plate and the new version of Gigs will take some time and I would like to get started on undergroundCMS by June (if I can get 2532|Gigs to a point where I like it).
