Development update - 21 November 2006

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Now that the first of our plugins has been released, I thought it would be prudent to list some of the other plugins and projects we are currently working on.

• Enquiry plugin - A plugin that goes hand in hand with the booking management plugin. This plugin will make it easy to display an enquiry form either on its own page, or underneath property details. Enquiries entered can be emailed to a specified email address, sent as an SMS message to a mobile phone (via our upcoming SMS plugin) as well as being written to your sites database.
• API modifications - I’ve decided that the authentication section of our API is too complicated. The current setup requires a minimum of two XMLRPC calls to generate an access key with a 24hr lifespan. This will be modified to use a more standard single developer key approach.
• Clearskys.net site updates - The current site is, in my opinion, looking very sad and unloved. How people are using it, I can’t imagine. Rather than leave it in that state until a new site is developed, I’ve decided to make improvements on an ongoing basis. Stay tuned for updates soon.

There are a lot more plugins and functionality listed on the development board, which I will announce as they get closer to release.
