Updates

Posted on: 29th November 2011

Hi,

I have updated ldir (1.7.7), nothing major though it's just an update to the URL where it checks for the latest version number. It's now stored in a central place where other software I have developed checks it's version.

Over the christmas period, I am planning on finalising the Helpdesk system Wonderful Help 2 and releasing it for public use; as well as looking at the ldir code to see how it can be improved as it's a long time since it has had any major work developed for it.

The media library program is developing slowly with more features being planned. There are some optimisation issues at the moment but these will be addressed prior to release.

New Project in Development

Posted on: 9th October 2011

So, I needed a list of my media which looked sexier than just a text list so I've started work on Media Library.

It currently only displays my movies and integrates minimally with Couch Potato but TV support is coming soon and also download support (if the detected IP is internal).

It scrapes info from IMDB, TMDB and TVDB. It also caches a local copy of the poster/cover. It's going to be developed more over the next few months.

ldir update 1.7.6

Posted on: 4th July 2011

Just a minor update.

New features are:

  • Icons are now hosted on dropbox as it's faster loading and I can add support to allow others to add icons.
  • Rewrote the PHP4 scandir support so its a bit faster
  • Edited the file/folder checking routine so it's less resource hungry.
  • Added support to modify where the icons are hosted.

Grab a copy over at the ldir page!

Progress

Posted on: 28th June 2011

Progress has been slow, I've decided to take a few days break from working.

Wonderful Help2 (Whelp2) has not got a simple XML GET API for users and tickets, viewing tickets, deleting tickets and its replies and a simple control section.

There will be more development soon so keep checking back.

Today…

Posted on: 9th June 2011

Well today, I released an update to ldir, nothing major; the biggest change is the refresh link, which now doesn't refresh the icon cache.

I have also made headway on the development of whelp2.

whelp or WonderfulHelp is my helpdesk system that I wrote for Uni, well I'm now re-developing it to be more robust and useful.

This will then become part of my dissertation system nAdmin; the development of whelp will be recorded as part of my dissertation project.

Just a short and sweet post and dont forget to checkout ldir.
