0.71 Released - Inbox bug fixed
Posted by benbrown 37 days ago
PeoplePods version 0.71 has been released.
This version is a maintenance release which fixes a problem with the private messaging inbox. Existing PeoplePods sites can upgrade to the newest version by following the upgrade instructions, or by simply copying the new version of Obj.php into the existing peoplepods/lib directory.
Another more substantial upgrade is in the works, which features an improved control center and an expanded plugin system.
PeoplePods powers MediaBugs.org and the Helsinki Design Lab
Posted by benbrown 115 days ago
April saw the launch of two brand new PeoplePods-powered applications. These new sites use the latest version of PeoplePods - 0.8 - which will be available to download at the end of May.
MediaBugs.org uses PeoplePods to enable Bay Area residents to report errors in their local media. The site weaves together several content types to allow for rich, detailed bug reports. It also uses PeoplePod's built-in content querying mechanisms to allow members to track changes to individual bugs as well as tracking bug activity by publication or subject.
Helsinki Design Lab is an organization in Finland whose goal is to collect, publish and promote information about the new field of strategic design. PeoplePods powers the site's complex submission process, as well as a suite of backend tools used by the team at HDL to craft their amazing library of case studies.
PeoplePods 0.8 brings a significantly revised administrative interface, improved tools and methods for building plugin pods, and many new features - including integration with Facebook and Twitter - that make PeoplePods a fantastic tool for building socially connected websites.

Last night, I uploaded a new release of PeoplePods: version 0.7.
The most exciting new features in this version are: new dynamic image resizing options, a faster comment polling system, new ways to view flags and files in the command center, and a much improved system for handling low level queries.

This version required updates to quite a lot of documentation. While I was at it, I created a new quick start guide that should get you hacking in no time. There's also a new page with all of the documentation in one easy to search and cross-reference place.
Developer Preview Launch!
Posted by benbrown 304 days ago
I am very excited to announce the launch of PeoplePods version 0.666, THE DEVELOPER PREVIEW! After tons of hacking, I have tweaked the last line of code, and I am finally ready for a wider audience to use it!
Download PeoplePods v0.666 Now
PeoplePods is a software development kit, a bunch of pre-built modules, and a set of admin tools that makes it way easier to build and create social websites and applications. PeoplePods was designed to be developer friendly: it's 100% object oriented, doesn't require a lot of configuration tinkering to use, and it plays nice with other PHP applications.
Though anyone with a web host can set up PeoplePods to create a fun social playground, I hope that developers will use the provided functionality as a launchpad for new and better things! The last thing I want to do is flood the internet with a million identical sites.
So download PeoplePods and go create something awesome! Read up on the ALMOST exhaustive documentation, and if you have a problem or want to share an idea, post it in the forum.
