New Features Coming: Translations, Reporting, and More
It's been 3 months since OneBody 1.0 was released to the public. While this blog has been quiet during that time, the project most certainly has not. As of this post, the changelog shows nearly 11 major new features, 17 bug fixes, and 29 general refinements and improvements.
Some of the new features include...
Multiple Languages: English and Portuguese
I'm excited to announce that OneBody will soon be available in a language other than English! The first job is huge: every page in the app has to be combed over and every string of text replaced. Thanks to Gustavo Bim for his amazing job, the task is nearing completion, and Portuguese will be the first language other than English.
Site administrators will be able to select the language for their site to meet the needs of their community.
Once this work is done, adding other languages will be much simpler and faster. Expect to see other translations soon after.
Reporting Engine
Built on the power of MongoDB, OneBody will soon have powerful reporting capability.
We're still working on the report output functionality and formats, but the report building interface is mostly done at this point.
iPhone Interface
Utilizing the jQTouch framework, we've created a slimmed down web version of OneBody, specifically for the iPhone, Android, and other mobile devices. There are still a few rough edges to iron out, but we're close.
And a whole lot more...
- Interface for managing relationships between people.
- Improvements to the admin dashboard, including graphs.
- Sync api and interface for viewing synchronization results (UpdateAgent).
- Add changed emails interface in admin section.
- New Admin "Templates" feature.
- Way better handling of deleted records, and an interface to manage them.
All these changes are currently on GitHub and are slated for release in the next release of OneBody, version 1.1. We plan to wrap up these new features in the next few weeks, and push out a release when ready. Stay tuned!
