OnSchedule [Closed Beta Testers Needed!]

I am proud to announce that OnSchedule, my scheduling web app, is getting to the point that we are ready to begin accepting users! However, we are not quite prepared to allow the general public to use it yet. As there is about a month left in the school year for most people, I thought it would be beneficial to begin a closed beta test and get user input for me to work on throughout the summer, then releasing open beta in time for the 2013-14 school year.

So you want to be a beta tester?
There are two main reasons for us to bring in beta testers. First and foremost, users can reveal way more bugs than a single person. As a beta tester, it is critical to report any and all glitches, bugs or design inconsistencies. If anything looks like it shouldn't be there, tell the developer!
The other reason why it is important to have a beta is that your input is valuable! I have my ideas for OnSchedule, but I may not always be right! If there is something that I as a developer could improve upon, post it here! We have all summer for me and the community here to improve OnSchedule until it is ready for a full release!

If you feel that you can help, take the following steps!
1. Register an account at http://schedule.16skittles.tk/registerpage.php. All passwords are encrypted.
2. Post here with your username.
3. If accepted, I will add your username to a list of approved testers. Once on this list, you're free to explore OnSchedule!

For those interested, here are some screenshots of the program as it currently stands. All taken in the latest version of FireFox.

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/(redacted)/public_html/schedule/register.php on line 95

when I try to register.

Should be fixed.

Re: OnSchedule [Closed Beta Testers Needed!]

Since I'm going into high school next school year, and I am a master procrastinator, something like this would be really useful....


I'll help test.  smile

Also, already found another coding error on the Jump Month page....

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting ',' or ';' in /home/(redacted by request)/public_html/schedule/jumpMonth.php on line 8

Adding right now. The problem is really just a mistake I made in a fix. For some reason the header() function I was using to redirect stopped working, and the replacement is no longer working. I'll try to find out if there is anywhere else that this issue pops up. Also, when posting bug reports like this, please redact the part that comes right after /home/.

as in /home/(redacted)/public_html/whatever/

Edit: Thanks Fire. Not too important, but it just adds another layer of security.

Ok... and I don't really know why it matters if people see the a-code, it's basically just a username. (redacted anyway)

Thanks for your cooperation. It may not be a big deal, but as it is a semi-random username the fewer people know it the less likely it is to be compromised. Maybe I'm just being a security freak, but that's my personal opinion.

I hate when antivirus programs try to filter web browsing.  It probably blocks mine because of the host and how others may use it for phishing or other scam behaviors. I'm not sure how to help you if you can't mess with the program.  hmm
Edit @Blecka: well, not necessarily. There are better antivirus programs out there than Norton.

norton is almost a virus tho
it's intrusive, requires special software to uninstall, and has been suspected to place viruses on computers, so they can "fix it"
mse is honestly the best thing on the market

Re: OnSchedule [Closed Beta Testers Needed!]

You should change the color of the login/out button, its really annoying once it's pressed.

Personally, I don't use any antivirus (YOLO  tongue ). But I do use malwarebytes to do scans every now and then.

Okay... I've considered changing the link color, that'll be a fairly simple CSS fix that would make the site more appealing and easier to use. As for auto date setting that would require a bit more work on the PHP side but should be easily doable. The only one that might bring issues is the assignments on the calendar. The issue is that the titles are too long to fit and so they wrap around to the next line... I'd need to prevent that somehow. Maybe I could have it only show a set number of characters, then an ellipsis, then show the full details on mouseover?

Note: In order to maintain maximum functionality I will be switching to a development subdomain. I will make modifications there and only update the actual site once a week at most (except critical bug fixes) so that user functionality is not limited during the remainder of the school year.
