And I didn't even change the skin!

Well I finally got round to upgrading InnerVisions to the latest version of b₂evolution, mainly because it was getting a tad of a ballache developing plugins on my test blog and then constantly having to redo the zip files, something which is automated via my credits page for installed plugins. This is just stage one of the upgrade though, the next step is to integrate my blogrum with the rest of the InnerVisions network. Once again this is going to involve merging two different evo installs complete with all the users, posts, comments and groups ... not made any easier by the fact that the two installs share some users as well .... ah well, it'll be worth it when it's finished .... at least, that's what I keep telling myself ;)

One of the plugins that I'm currently playing with allows you to customise your dashboard to suit your own tastes, it even allows you to add widgets to your dashboard, be warned though, not all widgets play nice on all dashboard tabs .... you can easily tell, they normally barf out with fatal errors ... if they do then just remove them from your dashboard huh? Another cool feature is the ability to drag 'n' drop the widgets into the order that you want instead of the normal "click arrow" ..... "wait" ..... "click arrow" .... you get the picture. If anyone's interested in it then you can read a smidge more on the blogrums ( Experimental : Playing with admin ), don't bother downloading the linked zip though, it's already out of date, you can grab the latest version from here ( AM Deluxe Dashboard ). I will be making a more detailed post about it once it's nearer to a release version ;)

The chances are that this upgrade has screwed summat up somewhere, so if you find anything funky then just let me know .... assuming that the funkiness isn't to do with my anti-spam measures, in which case you might find yourself accidentally banned for a couple of hours ...... guess you'd need to grab me on the forums or my blogrum. When I get chance I'll be removing most of my current anti-spam stuff and replacing it with my Irish Captcha as it's pretty good at telling humans from bots without any hoops for the humans to jump through ;) ... the bright side is that my comment form should actually be able to remember visitors names for them after that :p
