Assalāmu 'alaykum warahmatullāhi wabarakātuh.It's been almost two months since the last post on site's update. Many changes has been made to the sites, and lot of them are really exciting ones! In this post, we will discuss a few & more notable ones among them.## Added external links to libraries & shops.Users now able to add links to several libraries & shops to an edition entry. This makes it easier to read, download, or shop for them. The supported sites are Shamela, IslamHouse, Darussalam.com, and Darussalam.us. To add them, visit the edition form and expand the "Links" dropdown.Example: link## Added other sorting options beside ID when browsing literatures.When browsing literatures (link it is now possible to sort them with something other than its ID (which is still the default), namely Title or Release date. Currently it's only two, but I plan to add more, inshāa Allah.## Accents now ignored during title/name search for entriesNow you dont need to be exact with the search. For example, if you want to search Thalāthatu al-Uṣul, you just need to type `Thalathatu al-Usul` now and it will appear fine! This affects search in many places such as forms and browse pages.## Added graphical statistic for literature listing on user profile & literature page.This only applies if at least 1 user added the literature to their list. What can I say, a graph is always nice...Example (user): link Example (literature): linkOh, you can also see recent users who added a literature to their list by clicking the list icon on the top right corner of Statistic section.Example: link## Added simple Arabic converter & editor.This is intended so users can transcribe Arabic easier. That said, we don't have the standard on how to romanize Arabic text yet.The tool can be found here: link## Added the ability to copy edition.Most of editions are just slight modifications of the existing ones, hence it makes sense to be able to copy an edition and making the adjustments from there. Now it is possible to do so. You can find the copy button beside the edition title.Example: link## Added fuzzy date (century).It is now possible to specify edition release date with century if the exact date is unknown. This is especially useful for older works since those often don't have their exact release date known.## And a lot more...It's impossible to list them all since there's just so many of them. This includes improved performance to the site, bug fixes, visual changes, and many other internal changes.That's all for the post, Muslimūn. May Allāh be pleased with our work.You must be logged in to post a new reply
