Activity of Dubbook Admin

Well, that was a loooong Sunday. But GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! After over one month of trying, the navigation is finally optimised for desktop and mobile view. It was such a difficult task, and eventually, thanks and praises go to Nikolai from WZM who provided the last missing pieces of the puzzle. At the same time, I tweaked the general layout and the whole website looks classier now. Dubbook inna fine style, seen. Do you agree or disagree? Comment below. (Buttons and some areas needs further styling.)

I made a new logo for the Dubbook. You can see it on the start page (if you click e.g. on “The Dubbook” in the top left corner of the site). It's a classy golden record-kinda style. I'm still working on making the top navigation more user-friendly on mobile and at the same time, will try to improve the visuals of this site. The framework isn't that easy to update. If you're a PHP or CSS coder and would like to help make the Dubbook more pleasing to the eye, send me a message. 😄

50+ users are registered now and some first posts have been created, e.g. in the “Dub Events” section. Step by step forward. I'm currently still working on the mobile view navigation area. It's trickier to update than e😜ected. But I'll get there eventually. 😄

A small update for convenience to the “Dub Events” section: You can list past events now. It's nothing fancy, but it's one more option which didn't exist before.

We already have 44 registered users on the Dubbook. 😄 Not bad. Let's add some spice: New user no. 50 gets a Bandcamp download code of their choice for a Dub Flash release. Spread the word. Also, to all artists: Please check https://www.dubbook.org/jobs/view/1775/dubbook-allstars-compilation-release.

Good news everyone: The Dubbook has notifications now. Don't miss new posts, comments, likes etc. Unless you don't want notifications, then you go to your settings page in your profile and unmark what you're not interested in. I'm still testing this out more. Stay tuned.

Off to Iration Steppas now in Helsinki. Any other Dubbook member going?

Tomorrow Iration Steppas in Helsinki! Who else is going?

Yes, yes, yes! For one month, my biggest difficulty was creating an Instagram-like design for the dub photos section, which is actually an online photo album tool like Flickr. But I made it. Without external coding help. It doesn't look perfect yet, and the photo upload isn't as smooth yet as I one day want it to be, but nonetheless, I herewith announce our own “Dubbygram”. Post your pictures, dubheads!

Another new feature got added today: “Dub gigs”. You can now search for dubwise collaborateurs for your projects on The Dubbook. Just enter what you are looking for, for example a singer or a carrier of heavyweight soundsystem scoops, and specify your project's details. Happy collaborating! 😄

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! The “Dub Releases” section allows you now to EMBED your Bandcamp release directly into your post just by copy&pasting the URL (internet address) of your release. (Note: This doesn't work for merchandise; only music). On top of that, you can also embed your release on Soundcloud or a YouTube video. Now all we need is people posting their new releases here. 😉

The “Dubbypedia” has categories now. To add yourself (or someone else) in one of the categories, simply click on the category and then on the “Add wiki” button at the top of the category-page. Then add your information as you like it and “save” your wiki. Done. Note: If you want others to be able to edit your entry, choose “logged-in users” for the “write access”. If you want to be the only one who can edit your entry, choose “private". My suggestion is that you choose “private”, if your entry is about yourself, but “logged-in users”, if your entry is about someone else. Like this, we can build a evry nice wikipedia for Dub.
