New features work - June 2017

A quick overview of the IT side. We're working on:

• Improving email customisation (ready for....)
• ...integrating Kobo books onto the main site properly
• Getting Pinterest set up properly
• Getting these boards integrated with twitter fully.

We've been using ifttt for the last two, and their system keeps failing so we're bringing it in house.

The sponsor and sidebar slots have already been updated to take kobo books earlier this week.

 

Are you planning to do anything with the referrer link that has appeared on my drop down?

 

More work done:
The "customise your page" for email subscribers has been updated to allow users to choose Kobo or Amazon, and Free or Bargain books.
The problem with the site encoding quotes in page titles (thank you, database) has been fixed.
Some of the boards now tweet out new threads through our twitter, once approved.
OpenGraph added

WIP
Pinterest integration.
Updating the content of the personalised emails for better usability.
Credits system work (integration with main site)
Social Share figures to add.
OpenGraph complete

We'd love to, but that's proving difficult to link to the site. We may end up changing the credits system and transfering balances across.

 

Social Share figures are now displaying. We currently support LinkedIn Facebook and StumbleUpon. Others are being added.

 

Hey, cool to see new stuff appearing.

Keep up the good work.

 

Thanks for all you do. It's clear a lot of work goes into this site. I've enjoyed being part of the forums and discovering new books.
