I'm currently recoding the FPM site from scratch. I'm codenaming the project "Galactibase" for now, and I plan to make it available for anyone to use who has PHP and MySQL on their server.
So, I want to know, what sorts of features do you like in your comic sites? If possible, could you link to a comic that demonstrates this feature? These can be from either a reader or a creator standpoint.
some planned features:
- Standard Navigation, doable by day or by week.
- Navigation within a "theme" or "Storyline" (two different conceptualizations for grouping comics)
- Calendar display for comics by month
- complete calendar display for all comics in the archive
- List of comics by theme or storyline
- Searchable by news items or by dialog or by character
- Comments from readers
- Selectable Notification for new comics and/or news and/or comments
- Form-based comic upload and editing, as well as editing news and comments (for admins)
- "turning off" comments and/or news
- Rearranging feature placement on the view pages
I'm not currently planning on making the weekly views capable of showing the news or comments associated with them.
