new feature friday: part 1
part one of “new feature friday” saw three big updates. two that you can see and one behind the scene.
- homepage review tabs
we’ve added three new tabs to the homepage that allow you to sort the reviews different ways- “latest” - the original sort shows you the latest reviews submitted
- “popular” - will show you reviews with the most “awesome” votes
- “in theaters” - will show you reviews for movies that are currently in theaters
- “upcoming” - will show you reviews for movies that will be in theaters this week
- in-page search
we’ll admit the whole “go to a new page to search” thing was kind of lame, i mean it is 2008… the age of web 2.0 (or are we on 3.0 now, i can never keep track). so we changed all of that. now when you click the “find movies” button at the top of the page, a window will side open with a text field. start typing in the text field (labeled “search for movies”) and you’ll be shown the 10 best results we can find.and if you really liked the old search page, you can find it at moviestring.com/find
- utf-8 support we want to start out by apologizing for the lack of utf-8 support in the RC1 release. it was something we kept putting off and then totally forgot. but we’ve got it now, with our pages and rss feeds now outputting proper utf-8 encoding. if you still find problems please let us know!
stay tuned… cause there may be a part two to “new feature friday“
