labs.dagensskiva.com

We’ve had a confusing way of specifying the medium (physical, or virtual) and format (i.e. length) of a record release at dagensskiva.com. We have now restructured how this is represented, into two main components:

Formats:

• album
• single
• ep
• song
• box
• playlist

Media:

• cd
• 7”
• 10”
• 12”
• mp3
• aac
• wma
• myspace

In addition to this, we specify how mauy of the specified media constitutes the release, so that an album can be specified as, e.g. album (2×cd), song (mp3), box (10×12″), etc…

Did we miss anything?

You can add dagenskiva.com as a webclip on your iPod Touch or iPhone, with a pretty icon, for one click access.

The icon that the iPod looks for is the apple-touch-icon.png file, located in the sites root directory.

Back in early November we sat down and upgraded dagensskiva.com to version 4.1. Features in this release include:

• Upgrade to Wordpress 2.3.1
• Upgrade to BBPress 0.8.3
• Migration to WP internal tag handling (and leaving Ultimate Tag Warrior behind).
• For the ‘Relaterat’ field we now use a modified version of WP 2.3 Related Posts , which matches posts based on tags. The changes made formats the title to include information stored in custom fields.
• JQuery feature in BBPress that shows who tagged what (and how many times).
• The last.fm radio based on tracks submitted to the dagensskiva group.

Welcome to the Peter2Meter development blog. Here, we will document - and release to the community - the custom components developed for the Wordpress platform that enable the smooth running of dagensskiva.com (and soon dagensbok.com).
