Automatic Drafting? What do you think?

Posted by: Mark in Untagged  on

Recently, I was trying to write a blog entry here via My Blog and all of a sudden Firefox decided to CRASH itself @.@ and I can't restore the previous session for some reason. It's really a PITA when I have to re-write the blog entries :(

I think My Blog should have an auto drafting feature where it allows a blog entry to be automatically saved while you are typing or maybe when there is an idle activity of 5 seconds.

What do you think?  Maybe it's just me being unlucky :(


My Blog 2.0 & Jom Comment 3.0 =)

Posted by: Mark in myblogjom comment on

After a long wait, we finally released the beta versions of both My Blog 2.0 and Jom Comment 3.0 . You can actually access both these release in the following forums,

Jom Comment 3.0 - http://forum.azrul.com/index.php/topic,3066.0.html

My Blog 2.0 - http://forum.azrul.com/index.php/topic,3065.0.html

* You will have to be a valid user that owns a license to be in the beta users lists. If you are a license owner and if you are not registered yet in our forums, just register yourself and send a private message to 'Mark' or 'azrul' with the 'Beta tester request' as the title.

I bet that many of you are wondering what changes are there in both these releases. While I can list some of the changes, I can't really list them all as there are too many to remember and I have a pretty bad memory. ;( Anyway, here are some of the changes in both these new versions

Jom Comment 3.0

- Multi lingual support (Quite a popular one ;] )
- New comment templates (The new template is really sweet)
- Importing utilities from MXComments (Doesn't support special encoded characters yet)
- Reduced server loads by minimizing the scripts that is loaded.
- Recaptcha support
.... and many more

My Blog 2.0

- New intuitive dashboard design (Glossy look yeaha!!)
- Meta options are now added in the dashboard
- Tag slugs (Customize what you want the URL to look like for tags)
- Trackbacks support.
- Email notification when user creates a new blog!
.... and many more

Enjoy yourselves with this new beta release and PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL IT ON A LIVE SITE. ;)

====== Just another great production from Azrul.com======


Recently, we have noticed that there are a couple of users who are actually unable to connect to our support desk located at http://support.azrul.com . While we are trying to rectify the issues with our upstream Internet Service Provider, it is actually quite difficult for us to locate the bottlenecks since most of us are able to access the site. 

Nevertheless, if you do fall into the above, you would still be able to access our support forums at http://forum.azrul.com and any emails sent to support@azrul.com are actually retrieved by our support desk. 

Anyway, if you are experiencing issues connecting to our support desk, I would like to request for your assistance to send me an email at mark@azrul.com or support@azrul.com with a "ping" report, "traceroute" report and also your IP address so that I would be able to further look into the issues.

 


My Blog beta v1.0 build 75 released!

Posted by: Mark in Untagged  on

users simply want us to drop the "Lightbox / Thickbox" feature. Therefore, we have made the decision to strip out the "Lightbox / Thickbox" feature and instead insert our own little editor window. Apart from the window changes, the blogging tool now comes with an elegant design and much richer user interface. ;)

Along with the beta versions, a video mambot/plugin for My Blog is now available automatically. The documentations / how-to will come shortly.

More features to come as My Blog matures..

To apply for a beta account, kindly please visit our support forums at http://forum.azrul.com and send a private message to azrul himself or mark.


soon alongwith our all new Jom Comment version 2.0 which will include a much richer interface, many more functionalities and also the support for Joomla! 1.5

User's that are awaiting for the support for Joomla 1.5, please be rest assured that we will send everyone a newsletter regarding this, when the time comes and for future customer's, kindly please get ready for a rocking Jom Comment installation with your Joomla! 1.5 RC3 site.

At the mean time, please do visit our support forums to check out on the latest updates of our components.

Have a nice day!
