“Pligg”…just take the “l” out, the extra “g” and you got it. That’s what it is.

This review can be taken into development by the pligg team, although I think it is time they sold off this project to someone with the capacity to take it to the next level. This kind of poking and prodding and changing themes wont get pligg anywhere.

Good review Lincoln.

I like others have patiently been waiting for this much praised released, but it took me about 30 minutes to wade through all the errors that ended up being a cookie issue that has also plagued others.

Highlights for me were the new front and backend UI. But thats as far as it goes.

I was hoping for better category management, this having to drag and drop, reload the entries page everytime you add a category is too time consuming. Perhaps a manager similar to WordPress would have been a lot better.

As far as the module manager, agreed, something isn’t right thus far.

On the front end I like the implementation of Wick for use with the tags.

I can only hope that when this release is final, it will be more friendly to adding jQuery add-ons then previous versions that required too much tinkering with code.

I cannot figure out why they didn’t add reCaptcha to the submit process in this release, perhaps one of the biggest requests from members to help eliminate spam from bots.

I’m going to write my own post about this, but what do you think of the so called “Advanced Search”? I think I am missing something with it.

Nice to talk to you again, your friend,
Geoserv.

After installing I haven’t seen any errors using pligg. I was more or less disappointed with the overall management of the project and the future development that was made before initial issues were resolved.

Development continued even tho the pligg management seen issues with it’s current release. I’m not saying the changes were bad! I must admit the software is looking good but usability issue remain.

Issues with uploading your profile avatar, uploading your group images and user profile maintenance (advertising) is once again forgotten. Also the admin categories still has a bug when adding or moving categories. We cannot launch successful websites with little or no functionality.

Pligg has to look back at where they were once going to get where they should be today.

Great review if the software Lincoln it’s always a pleasure reading here at your blog.

p.s I’m running 1.0 on test overall not too bad! we must remember it’s free open source software!

cheers!
