DevZone Refresh

January 5, 2010

Uncategorized

The DevZone codebase has been upgraded today and some new features now exist to make your DevZone experience more engaging!

Numerous features have been added, such as:

* Email Integration – Get informed via email when you contribution gets published, if someone comments on one of your articles and when someone comments on an article that you’ve commented on.
* Leaving Comments now happens on the same page as the post you are commenting on.
* Code syntax highlighting available (see the new “submission reference”:/node/reference for details of how to use it)
* Twitter Integration – Automatic updates to “@devzone”:http://twitter.com/devzone, “@zendcon”:http://twitter.com/zendcon & “@phpa”:http://twitter.com/phpa
* Lots of backend performance/stability/administration upgrades.

I hope you enjoy all of these improvements. Please leave comments as to your thoughts!

    Congrats Eli .

    But I think there is a slight bug in the comments form.
    I clicked the add comment before the page completely loaded. I was moved to the link http://devzone.zend.com/article/11558-DevZone-Refresh/comment .

    But when I click backwards and made the page loaded completely the comment box was below . Just to make you aware there is some slight problem. Not a big deal.

    Yes, that’s currently not a ‘bug’ but a ‘feature’, allowing the comment button to still work for people who don’t have javascript enabled. The button is changed, via Javascript upon pageload, to create the javascript-ajaxy-ish version of commenting.

    There are some ways to work around and still allow the backup while also allowing the JS-way, but this was a ‘quick solution’ and Step 1 for now.

    Thanks for the feedback!
