TATAP Extension

1. Theme layout

• Home page displays four featured article at the top with picture
• Five Recent articles at the lower left
• Seven featured video. Feel free to submit if you have a good quality video

2. Blog page

• Displays article like the old design

3. Comment layout

• Changed from flat to nested. Flat layout displays recent comment at the bottom of each page. with nested, comment is displayed right at the bottom where you replied. Sample, comment #3593. I think this is better than flat so we can easily follow discussions especially if the response is not related to the article. If you prefer it in chronological order, you can check the latest comment from the right side bar “Counter loop”. Read the rest of this entry →

PDA and Smart Phones now comes with WiFi and affordable mobile Internet access in some countries, so it is time to optimize this site for mobile devices like the sexy iPhone/iPod Touch, new kid in the block Android, Palm, Samsung, Nokia, and the enterprise favorite Blackberry.

Oh by the way, I am posting this from my mobile.

Enjoy!

Due to some member’s request, I created a new forum “Strictly Table Tennis“.

The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts.

There will be no hidden post and no private messaging, also read the RULES before posting.

Players database modified today, added categories (per region) so we can easily find players.

Tag Cloud sidebar moved up, you can find it right below the Green Paddle Joola banner. Tag is a keyword chosen by the poster/author when they post an article and it gets bigger every time that keyword is used.

A minimum of 2 articles before a keyword is displayed in the Tag Cloud. Read the rest of this entry →

Finally managed to migrate the players database. It runs with MediaWiki like the one that powers Wikipedia. I have no plans integrate the login with this blog, but in the future OpenID will be use to login across all TATAPX applications.

Check it up, click on the Players tab above and enjoy!

It’s now 4 months after migration to WordPress and TATAPX is not done yet. Old site will still be up for months but Gallery from the old site will be offline at the end of this month as the pictures were completely moved to the new gallery. What is left are:

Gravatar – done today, enabled under comments only.
OpenID – planning to have OpendID from April 2008
PM – depends on demand. Do we really need PM? I got one request but still need to hear from other pongers.
Chat room – dropped from the list. Shoutbox should be fine.
