Can I get some innovation?

[Jona]

Hi there!

I’m the author of a web application which I call Chategory (http://www.cmmwebdesign.com/v3/software/chategory). Chategory is a PHP/JavaScript chatting system that I’ve written. Though its current version is rather unstable and not ready for practical use, I’m searching for new ideas that can be implemented into the system. You can give Chategory a test run (http://www.cmmwebdesign.com/chategory) to see how it functions now. It degrades gracefully (works in browsers that don’t support JavaScript) and has many features already, but I feel there are quite a few features that can be added to enhance the user experience.

I’m also keeping a public project page (http://jona.backpackit.com/pub/36006) available so anyone who wants to can keep an eye on the progression of the software (when new bugs are fixed, features are added, or new ideas are found).

I would highly appreciate feedback, comments, suggestions, and et cetera.

Many thanks,
Jonathan

Chategory requires cookies in order to function. If you do not have cookies enabled you will not be able to login, much less use the system. It is possible that a future upgrade will change this, but it is unlikely.

You could use 'hidden' fields in the event that cookie are disabled

Javascript Error:
Immediately after login (administrator :: admin)...
chategory/index.php line 82 - object required.

Appears to be in a timeout loop and stops exit from the browser.

I’m re-programming all of the JavaScript with more object-oriented code, and in the meantime all of those JavaScript errors will just disappear. ;)

Thanks for showing interest.

Bump. Anyone else?

I tried signing-up and then signing-in and it failed. :(
I tried two different user names. :(
However, I didn't encounter any fatal error of any kind, other than I cannot log-in.

You should be able to use the username “Administrator” and the password “admin” without any problem. I just tried it again.

Registration was apparently bugged because a file’s permissions were improperly set (I must have modified a file somewhere along the line and forgotten to update permissions — whoopsie!). You should be able to register without a problem now, though you won’t see the full power of Chategory unless you login as the admin. ;)

I recently bought Chategory.org (http://www.chategory.org/) and brought together a development team (http://www.chategory.org/team), so naturally we’ve also made a Chategory blog (http://blog.chategory.org/).
