Yes, very soon you'll be able to upload your own chocolate products for everyone to vote on (just like reviews I get to approve them before they go live, but hopefully you'll all be ok with that?).
I've got a few products to upload that'll probably take the current total to 600, and there are some more tweaks to old code to use the new database and thus make everything a bit simpler to administer.
Please reply with your thoughts on what you'd like to see in the upload process, how you expect it to work and any other thoughts on this.
Thanks,
ChocAdmin.

Did you give any more thought to putting some "past masters" on in order that we can wax lyrical about how good things used to be?
Would a pic from the web be ok rather than a photo taken by the uploader?
-
A pic from the web would be OK - although there may be issues with image size (see my other post about that), adding old products would be entirely up to you the CR community, and whether you had an image (can't go adding stuff without pics now can we :) )
-
Is this ready to launch yet?
-
erm very nearly. I'll do some testing at the weekend and PM you when the submission page is ready to go (first version might have to only support one image upload, instead of the 3 or 4 I'd prefer).
I won't make it completely live for everyone until I've cleared my backlog - although that'll probably happen some time next week.
Thanks.

I tried to upload some chocolate, but I couldn't get it into the little slot. Oh, I think I've buggered my computer...
-
So I didn't finish the upload as I got stuck into clearing a big backlog of chocolate.
I then got on to creating the Facebook beta interface (list in a separate thread).
So now I'm just updating code (largely moving some of the code from asp to php) so that voting can go quicker, and bars can be listed in a consistent manner site-wide.
Next step will be to replace the 'big' chocolate retrieval list page with something a bit quicker (to load and use), and that maybe takes up a bit less screen space to present the information.
-
The Americans are coming. Yes a few bars from the USA are just about to go online for voting. After this initial batch I have a couple more and a couple of Canadian products.
Hoping to get the upload sorted soon so that products from around the world can be added by everyone else.
-
Another update (sorry no the upload bars isn't there yet :-[ ).
If you go to the chocolate page (chocolate on the navigation bar) you'll now get your rank (based on votes logged), total number of products voted and name for your ranking :)

WOW - thanks for that incredible insight, mr. unpronouncable screen-name spammer person.
-
Ugg boots are for people who can afford a gap yah and shoot defenceless foxes!

I tried to upload some chocolate but I couldn't get it into the little slot. Oh I think I've buggered my computer...
wow, seriously?!
ANY QUESTIONS???
-
umm...
-
Yes, i had to throw the old PC away because it had become clogged with chocolate.
-
you silly billy, dr. t!
-
I won't do it again...

Shoutbox is now turned off while I look at trying to install the latest version of the forum system we're using.
Last time I did the install it worked ok but conflicts with install elements (primarily the shout box) meant I had to roll back to this version.
When I do the upgrade things will probably go blue until I've put in the correct colours for everything.
-
don't know if this is related (or maybe it's just me) but the youtube videos aren't embedded anymore. they just appear as links.
-
Yep, just turned that off earlier in the week too. As it's grand prix time I'm just about to back everything up and start the upgrade again - fingers crossed this time.
-
keep up the good work, chocadmin.
site is upside down atm! took me ages locating the forum! ;-)
-
just fixed ordering. failed to update this morning - again. don't know if it's a hosting problem or issue in the forum config.
Best thing for me to do is do an install elsewhere and then find out the differences in code or migrate all our data. ah well...
Slowly starting to add links for my favourite blogs onto individual product pages which is some progress at least.
-
great news now we can offer out chocolate products in another ways.
-
cool! can you e.mail me a twix then?
-
UPGRADED! I think.
OK so there will be some things I'll need to sort over the next few days (adding back in options, and I expect your stars won't be working right now).
Testing and feedback in this post will be greatly appreciated!
-
IT DOES look so much better! well done!
-
Bizarrely some of the (key) settings got lost during the day while I was out. That's really strange - was it hack, I've no idea (doesn't look like it).
I've put them back so it's all up and running again.
If things go offline completely again please e-mail me at [email protected]
Thanks all.
-
It all looks lovely and fresh chocadmin!
-
well this all looks very cool!
-
I agree it does look a lot fresher and cleaner. Though to be honest I was fine with how it used to look x
-
if it aint broke...
no, seriously - you gotta change things from time to time. very snazzy indeed.
-
He buggared his computer. Good grief .
-
not that it was ever really used (except for spammers etc.) but will shoutbox ever be returning?
also, the adult forum has vanished. is this just me? or if not, is it a permanent thing? (i mean it's not like it was ever used in recent years.)
-
I hid the adult forum coz it wasn't being used - can always be brought back if bounty wants to return to his old ways ;)
Shoutbox caused me some problems in the upgrade process so I'll only bring it back if there's a lot of demand.
Thanks.
-
i don't think either will really be missed so i wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
-
Latest new 'thing' - I've put a different mod on for logging or registering via social networks. It supports quite a few (just got problems getting google and yahoo to work at present). It'd be great if someone could try it out and see if it works.
Thanks.

Just build a blog about Chocolate. You, all Chocolate Lovers are welcome.
Happy Christmas
