Topic: A List of features... for the future ;)

Hi All,
Couple of days ago I've posted a list of ideas and suggestions for next version; here's an optimized version of it smile

As a "Content Management System":

    * A Complete AJAX BB:
      Ajax Menu: the whole site-map in 1 XML menu file.
      Each topic should have a (posts.xml) file and a (members.xml) file.
    * A JavaScript calendar support: something like http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/.
    * user/visitors statistics: in the status bar, and/or in additional artificial buttonface-color status bar.
      Something like: Visitors: (# online/ # total) - Members: (# online / # total)
      I've wrote a code like this in a scripts.js.php
     

      window.status = "Visitors: (<?php echo count($guests) ?> online/ # total) - Members: (<?php echo count($users) ?> online / # total)";

but it didn't work sad
    * Imagine some kind of compatibility between punbb and mailman (GNU mailing list)
      The idea is: providing two ways to send and receive posts/messages: web browser, and mail client.

Multilingual:

    * Encoding: utf-8, with Unicode font (Tahoma).
      Utf-8 and Tahoma are better for non-Latin characters.
    * Text Boxes <Input>: LTR attribute for filename, username & password fields.
      It's is necessary to prevent inheriting RTL attribute in RTL pages, since filename, username & password are usually LTR texts.

Format:

    Some of the fallowing ideas are here: http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/502a468edc.png
    * Header Footer: width:100% across the whole page width.
    * Buttons: Flat borders, themes color.
    * Replacing "online/offline" texts in member-profile pane with a blink-maroon-gif for "online" and a gray-png for "offline".

    * Printing: client side (see http://www.richstyle.org: hiding the header, menu, sidebar -if any-, and footer blocks)
    * Footer: text-align: center.
    * Title box: white lines up and down.
    * Menu blocks: links should be blocks, not simple underlined texts.
    * Font size: 10px
    * Colorizing Scroll bar (for IE5.5+ users) - I wish if it was w3c standard hmm
    * OS Colors in The Control Panel/Administration pages (Buttonface..etc) and bigger padding.

Regarding CSS files I prefer coding like this:

DIV>DIV>DIV.postfootleft,
DIV>DIV>DIV.postfootright {
    PADDING-TOP: 1px;
    MARGIN-TOP: -1px
}

rather than:

DIV>DIV>DIV.postfootleft, DIV>DIV>DIV.postfootright {PADDING-TOP: 1px; MARGIN-TOP: -1px}

The first one is much readable.


Giga thanx..
