StakeItOut Releases

Internet Explorer

I’ve done a few changes to the layout which now means that IE should work better. As I haven’t got a good windows box available, I can’t fully test it yet. Please let me know what further problems there might be at [email protected].

As always I recommend Firefox.

Convert your tags to Screens

The other big news are screens. Screens are essentially special purpose tags that you can use to organize your most important stuff into screens. They work just like tags except that there is now a button for each Screen, so you can find them quickly.

Ideas for screens:

• Dashboard – For your most important links or web services
• Admin – Put links to all your blog/webapp admin pages on one screen
• Stats – Put links to all your web server and feed statistics on one page

To create a screen just add a tag (eg. “admin”) to your assets. From your main portfolio screen click on the “admin” tag to bring up the admin tag page.

In the top right corner click the little link that says Make “Admin” a screen. Now your admin tag page is a screen.

Due to major hassle with respect to Internet Explorers buggy support for Cascading Style Sheets, I wont be supporting Internet Explorer during the beta version of StakeItOut.

You will be able to login, but things will look strange and will likely be unusable.

I recommend using Firefox as an Internet Explorer replacement:

I have now added editing of assets within the portfolio page using ajax.

You can currently edit the title and/or tags of each asset.

Still need to be able to edit web service settings to select which actions to allow on a web service.

Also bear in mind that the tag list does currently not get updated, when you edit the tags of an asset or add an asset via the “Add..” button.

Thanks to John and Peter Lindberg I fixed a problem where new users where not allowed to login a second time.

This was definitely causing me some grief, because when things are encrypted it can be very difficult to debug this. It turned out to be a missing timestamp, that was the culprit.

Again thanks to Justin it now stores your backpack key in such a way that you do not have to re enter it when you add backpack pages.

Remember it is still completely encrypted.
