Be able to mark something as implemented. For example someone submitted "Enable in game sharing of Overview settings" I'd like to be able to click something to say "Already implemented" and then it would mark it for someone to review in the back end.

Yeah, this. I can't help noticing that a fair amount of things listed already exist in the game and/or that the description does not offer any explanation for why existing solutions are inadequate.

Uh yes, I was pointing out one that I saw that was already in the game, and explaining how to access it.

Got it.
Yes it really needs a function to screen the ideas that are already implemented

Steve what you really should have done is leave the site up for submissions only for a time, and then close the submissions and only then allow voting.

With your current system you have the earlier submissions collecting more votes than new ones, which has the effect of making newer, would-be popular ideas seem not as good as they are, and newer, crappy ideas seem better than they are.

IMO you should close voting right now and reset everything to 0 upvotes and downvotes, then after say two weeks of submissions you close that down and open up the voting again.

I would like to edit my posts, if I look @ my overview, I see I forgot a few tags on certain items.

Maybe people could also suggest mergers between ideas (so, show a unique number for them), this to weed out double suggestion.

Can you make a newsletter or something, so we get a top 10 of each week, then you have incentive to return and monitor the website.

Should there not be a "popular" listing overview, now just can see new things.

This could be solved by a rolling avarage on ideas, so, a list with most average votes of last months, and count could reset on each month (i.e.)

Sometimes there are little things which can make the game better. (sometimes they seem small, but aren't. Like 'change characters without quitting the game')

This is a way to get lists of these things, in a way people can vote on and report on.

Keep up the good fight :D

Or perhaps include a vote/month metric of some kind to go along with the total.

This is completely different than the 'Things Initiative' that I have implemented.




Mine is more of a 'Can I have your things/stuff?' initiative.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Stevie's solution to the job as Important Spaceship Politician?

Use a database.

Who would have guessed? ;)

Good job by the way.

So... it's yet another "little things" list that will never get done just as all others before? Seriously asking WTF we need another place to put/vote for ideas that will share fate of previous initiatives of this nature.

(From the webpage) "If you have no idea what Eve Online is, It’s a Massively Multiplayer game, set in the far future, where you play a Starship pilot, who is immortal, being copied into a new body, every time they die. Kill your enemies. Build stuff. Gather resources. Play the market. With 500,000 other accounts, all in the same game universe. If they play Eve, you can interact with them (Unless they’re in China. There are only two ‘servers’ to play on) Go to the Eve Online site to learn more."


There's the most succinct description of Eve I think I've ever read.

I cannot help but suspect Fuzzworks is built upon Zend Framework, version two if I'd have to guess. I've been meaning to ask for a while now if that is correct. Lol

If so, I can recommend the whole Table Data Gateway pattern. Implementing it is more boilerplate config then in Zend 1, but after you create and register your classes you can extend and inherit at your heart's content. Zend Form classes also implement rather quick and easy ways to validate datatypes and minimum input lengths. But maybe I'm wrong and confusing the hell our of anyone else so I'll STFU now... Lol

Bzzt! Wrong Big smile

For display stuff I've retrofitted the old stuff, and started off with bootstrap with the new stuff.

I've started using smarty to handle templating but the rest is just hand written PHP

The things code isn't up there but the rest of my site's on the github above.

Woo! CSM XI!

Well you had me fooled, apart from Things the site looks like Zend's skeleton app. Lol I'll have a look at your code, I was curious as to how you did the submenu items when in "small window" mode. I'd like to do a similar thing with a Zend application at work.
