Pligg 9.9.0 Test

shuron — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 06:03:48 +0000

Pligg developers have released version 9.9.0 of Pligg CMS quite months ago. Now a had time to test it. In comparison to my last pligg installation of pligg 9.8.2 this version is more stable. It does not broke pages with PHP errors in the browser on every second click and you get good feeling navigating through it.

But some bugs are still there. Some links still does not work (without reporting PHP exception to the user), e.g. in Admin area or on submitting a comment to a news. Also spellchecker was broken.

Pligg templates Problem

In comparison to Wordpress, there are really few free templates for Pligg 9.9.0. Precisely I found only one and that is the default template, witch is quite ugly. There is a little bit more of templates for previous versions, but one have to mach upgrading work to get them worked just for see them in action .

I think the best way is to make your own template on base of default template. But I decided to wait till next version or even till version 1.1.0 (where I’m not sure whether it gonna be released sun ). Nevertheless I think it’s better to take one or to version closer to 1.1.0 due possibly further changes in template handling.

Pligg Modules

Extensions of Pligg are called Modules. The handling of them is just like in Wordpress upload and enable, some of them are available with first installation. I have enabled some of them, but there were not functional except askimet. I hope this also will be better in next versions.

Yesterday my Topic about Socialolism was in top of the news2.ru site. News2.ru is popular pligg based site in ru-internet (runet). 39 people where coming to my site from news2.ru yesterday. Not much, not much. OK it indeed doubles the visitor number of my site for yesterday but i thought it could at least more than 150.

Nevertheless i like that people (there were more than 40) found my post good. I’ll try to make more of such in the future

P.S. I’m still think about my new avatar, next idea i had, is to play around with letter “G”.

Pligg 9.8.2

shuron — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:47:16 +0000

Pligg engine stands behind of many “voting enabled, social” web2.0 sites, the much known of them is digg.com. Today I tried out the pligg 9.8.2 beta engien, which is the current released version at the moment (except svn of coause).

I’m impressed about pligg functions, and configuration posibilities, so i think i can use pligg in my future project. But I’m not impressed by the current version. Of cause it’s beta version, but we know other kind of betas (e.g. google applications) that do not breaks on every second click. And if you decide to install some additional plug-ins on this version, be aware, it can make, the situation only worthiest.

Unfortenytely I can’t use this version productively. I hope the Pligg people will soon fix existing bugs in next betas, or even they will makes us happy with very stable version 1.0.

By the way, does anybody know when pligg version 1.o is planed to be released? I read somewhere just meaningless “hopefully soon”.

P.S. The default template of pligg looks bad too, but that is another story.
