Recent Implementations

Are in! Most implementations from the previous update have been implemented on the domain. This is a good thing. Also, many of the titles were updated so their main pages show some information. For now it is images, synonyms, and standard resources; meta information coming soon.

Reflection scripts have been updated and migrated to another db table structure; structure changes are difficult to account for, but I believe this new structure will provide better capability. Here are the table relations:

refleciton_index( user, media, moment ), PK( user, moment )
reflection_data( user, moment, basis, range, subject, text ) PK( user, moment )

The linking is based on INT user and INT moment; timestamps are not used. Of course, this is not directly accessed as there are 2-3 caching layers above it. One downside is that editing of reflections has been disabled until the reflections dash panel is written; Ajax w/JSON may be re-implemented first.

The RSS engine also has been modified to accommodate the current reflection model. Since these rely solely on XSL transformations, there was very little to change other than php mechanics and caching conventions.

More to come!
