JScribe - Component in Development
2008/05/21 04:53
 
Aclaina posted a few months ago that she was going to update Ewriting, but it seems to be stagnating.

I am currently the co-developer of a new component called JScribe. JScribe will be natively compatible with Joomla 1.5, but it will not work with previous versions of Joomla. It will be loosely based on Ewriting, so converting from Ewriting to JScribe will be possible.

It will feature WYSIWYG support right out of the box, and features such as the hit counters should be fixed.

An alpha version should be ready for testing in about a month.

You can join the project at JoomlaCode, although right now there's not really anything to do with it.

Best of luck with that! I'm sure a lot of people will be very interested and keen to see a new component.

I've just moved all my sites to straight 1.5, using articles as the stories. I have found this very satisfactory, except for not finding a way of listing the stories with a synopsis etc (as per eWriting). The "out of the box" lists are less than useful.

Your component will be particularly welcome too as the only other component that seemed to appear on the horizon was Brat's bridging of eFiction, but that has gone quiet of late.

Anyway, good luck - let us know how you go.

I really prefer native to bridged components. One of my sites has Gallery2 bridged in, and it feels completely disjointed compared to the rest of the site.

Still, I considered Efiction and was a little disappointed to find out how vulnerable it is to hacking. Since Joomla has so many of it's own ways to secure a site, this seemed like the best optiong.

One of my ewriting sites has 600 users and over 300 stories, and at that volume, a lot of things have come to light. The search form doesn't work right, won't paginate, publish/unpublish doesn't work, hit counter doesn't work, and ewriting alone is about 105 errors against page validation.


Of course, it's easy to criticize someone else's hard work. I'm sure JScribe will have it's own issues, especially in the beginning.
