Patch Notes


New Widgets! - Mon Nov 17 2008
We have launched our widget program which allows for FishDB content to be placed on your website if the need arises. One of those widgets is a dynamic imaging system that creates an image of the FishDB data for the selected specimen for use in forum posts where javascript and other scripting languages are not allowed. When these images are loaded, they are checked for changes and are created on the fly if any data has changed since it's last creation time. More widget will soon follow, but currently available widgets can be found by clicking on the widget icon that appears on every specimen page in our database. We hope you find these widget useful. If you have a need for a particular solution, please send us a message and we will add it to our que.

Freshwater Virtual Tanks - Wed Nov 05 2008
Fixed several reported errors that surfaced now that the freshwater side of FishDB is under way. Some of the corrected issues involved adding specimen to the tank, tank parameters, tank image uploading and access to settings under the profile menu. Please continue to report errors you find and we will work to resolve those as soon as possible. Our thanks go out to those who found the ones that are now fixed.

Freshwater Discovery - Mon Nov 03 2008
We have launched the freshwater side of FishDB. We decided to launch it as a blank slate to effectively test the member specimen submission on that side of the fence. This will allow us to continue testing compatibility for freshwater as well, but upgrade it so as to be testing several FishDB systems at once. With this being our initial launch of freshwater, we understand that many of our members may not be fully experienced in this area, but encourage contributions from everyone who wishes to learn or help shape FishDB for others. All submitted data will be reviewed prior to posting to debug the process and ensure accuracy. Freshwater will remain in what we have called "Discovery Phase" for several months. Have fun, and happy fish'n!

Message Center - phase 2 - Tue Oct 28 2008
With member submitted specimens moving forward, we have upgraded our Message Center to phase 2. This phase allows for notifications to those who have submitted data awaiting process, when the new specimen is available on the site. To maintain our "anti-spam" policy, messages will not be sent to email addresses but rather will only be available on FishDB.com. When you have a message, you will notice a mail icon in the member menu area at the top right of every page. That icon will go away if you inbox is empty. Cross member communications are in the works, but will not be available until phase 3 which will have blocking, replying and other features. This upgrade process is slow in part to our limited resources, but mainly because we do not wish to use publicly available scripts/mods that tend to get hacked easily. Thanks for your patience.

Specimen Submission - Tue Oct 28 2008
Thanks to those members who have submitted new specimen data sheets for inclusion on FishDB, the saltwater side of the Member Submitted data process has progressed greatly. Once saltwater comes out of beta testing, we will open the freshwater side with similar functionality. Again, thanks to those members who have been helping out in this effort.

Specimen Submission - Thu Oct 02 2008
The new specimen submission feature has been added for beta testing. This feature is accessible via specimen "group" pages. This was added to allow members to create new specimen that may be missing on FishDB but is needed to finish a Virtual Tank. Submission will be passed to a FishDB review board and then processed to include all necessary data in order to compatible with all aspects of FishDB. Initially this process may take a few days or more until bugs can be worked out so please bear with us on this rather large addition to FishDB functionality.

Advanced Search - Tue Sep 30 2008
Fixed reported errors involving some advanced search functionality. In fixing these issues, it was noted that the whole advanced search system will need to be overhauled in the near future. Patches were put in place to allow adequate functionality for now, but this area has now been placed in our development que.

New Virtual Tank - Mon Aug 04 2008
Fixed a security error that was occurring during certain situations while trying to create a new Virtual Tank. Also fixed a bug that allowed new Virtual Tanks to be created without a water type being selected, causing that tank to not be accessible afterwards.

Virtual Tank Image Upload - Mon Jul 21 2008
The Virtual Tank image upload process has been reworked, to make it simpler and more intuitive. Previous situations that caused errors have been fixed.

Image Upload - Mon Jun 09 2008
Specimen image uploading has been reworked to prevent some issues that came up under certain circumstances. These issues currently may still be present at times with virtual tanks but that is being reworked as well and will soon be patched.
