Archivatory Update #006 | More Control For Users & Added Titles/Description To The RSS Feed.

New Features

User Cards Replaced Media Table:

Since we are now displaying more information on the media page for logged in users we need to move away from the HTML table we were using to somthing more likely to play well on mobile. It's still not prefect but we are on the correct track to have a more mobile friendly site.

The media page now has a card view instead of the HTML table layout. This allows us to hold more information and give the user more control over the media witout causing the user to scroll across a table. This was achived the same way the table was, by having PHP pull the needed information out of the user's database and echo it onto the page with a while loop.

In the code below we look to see what type of file the media is and from there we display it with the apropriate HTML5 tags.

This is where we echo out the HTML with the needed variables. The reason for this is to have each card display the contest of only one row in the database.

Added User Defined Title & Description To RSS:

Inside the user's content cards there is now a place to add a title and description. This is allows us to display this content on both the user's profile page and the RSS feed.

Here are the changes made to the RSS feed file. The username is now escaped as it should have been in the previous update to help keep potential attacks down. We also change to UTF-8, added the title field, and added the description field.

What's Coming Next?

The next feature we'll add is the card view to the user profile pages so the visitors can listen to or view the content directly on Archivatory. Following that we plan create a Docker file so anyone can download their own copy and run the software on their computer or server. That will either happen before or after federation via Secure Scuttlebutt or the STEEM blockchain. Once we have all that working we plan to add STEEM support and premium accounts for users looking to get more out of the platform or that simply want to donate to the project.

Thanks For Checking Out The Updates!

Thanks for the contribution, @jrswab! Some cool new stuff, it's great to see everything improving with each contribution - keep it up!

Some small things:

Maybe you are commenting a bit too much (I am guilty of this as well) - some people argue that it would be best to leave comments to the stuff that is less obvious.
In my opinion the line width could be less wide in some places, just to make the code more readable - but of course that's my preference.

Look forward to seeing more of your contributions!

Thanks again!

hahah makes total sense. I'll keep this in mind.

In my opinion the line width could be less wide in some places, just to make the code more readable - but of course that's my preference.

I noticed this too after uploading to github/gitlab and I am not sure why it does that. My vim RC has tabs set to two spaces so maybe these sites are rendering them as four instead. thinks
