Greetings everyone! As promised, updates for this project is
resuming and I have been hard at work after hours to ensure massive
improvements to the website.
Here are
some improvements for today:
- Did some database optimization, this resulted in making the
entertainment home page take
- Updated various anime titles so they have cover images, post
images, description etc… Also fixed issue where two current season
anime were wrongfully labeled as manga instead of anime.
- Did some maintenance on the server and banned a lot of IPs due
to excessive crawling. This will also improve the performance of
the site.
- Looked into what it would take to create a CDN, I'll probably
create one in the near-future to deliver multimedia content
(images, etc). It'll cost an extra bit every month but I think
it'll be worth it.
- Ran script that updates the related anime for all anime
titles.
- Anime and Manga XML file has been updated due to the tremendous
update to the library.
- Resolved issue where anime characters would appear “doubled”
while viewing the anime title among other pages / modules that
would reference this.
PENDING
ISSUES:
- New characters do not have a master character database. For
some reason I can't locate this script so i'll probably have to
remake it. This causes issues with thumbnails and availability of
the character browser for select new characters.
- Some javascript functions are no longer working in the
entertainment section which makes it weird for writing reviews, you
can't star anything anymore, you can't access “my list” etc… Pretty
janky stuff. I don't know what happened, it just stopped working
one day. Will have to investigate.
- Database could still be improved (working on it)
Please let me know if there's any other issues that are pretty
severe in nature. Otherwise, I'll fix those and then move forward
to adding new features and such.
