The Wreckamovie Platform -team is looking for your ideas and comments. Join and show your support for Wreckamovie Platform. Work in progress
The team has been really busy (again) getting some new features added to Wreckamovie. Had to rush things a bit, but everything should work... Production Widgets You can now find a Wreckamovie widget for every production on the production home/info page. Grab the code and put your favorite production on your own website. And let us know what else should be in the widget and what other type of widgets you would like to see. Polling / Ranking We are rolling out this functionality bit by bit. It's based on the standard Wreckamovie thumbs up functionality. You can see what it looks like in the Opera By You production right here: http://www.wreckamovie.com/tasks/show/1434 We added the same kind of view to all tasks, you can now see which shots have gotten the most thumbs up for every task here on Wreckamovie. We have gotten quite a few requests to make it easier to find top shots and navigate the tasks, this is a small first step in that direction. With more and bigger productions this is clearly something that needs to be improved and we are working on that. And as usual, there have been some smaller fixes and tweaks done as well in the background to keep things running smoothly. |

The analytics tab works now correctly. If there's anything weird or inaccurate in your analytics page, please report.
Yes, the guys added analytics for all production leaders, hope you like it.
Cool, there's an "analytics" tab in the tasks now... doesn't lead anywhere yet tho ^_^
Ok, I'm looking into it. Be patient, it'll be fixed (hopefully) tonight.
EDIT: Should be fixed now, let me know if there are still non-working tasks.
What the.... Almost all tasks are down! O.O

I got an Something went wrong page.
Was going to post in the bug report forum, but I got it there too...
We will improve this a lot going forward, this is also why I titled this piece of news work in progress. Will make the poll optional, agree that not every task needs it. We just had to get this done in a hurry in order to support the OperaByYou project and their polling.
Erm couldn't you put an option in the "edit task" area where you can determine how many shots should be ranked, with the chance of disabling this feature by entering a zero?
Really this is a nice feature, a great step in the right direction, but not every task needs it I think ^_^
The way the polling is implemented is not necessarily steering things in a direction in which the thumbs up is saying THIS is the BEST shot. You can vote for more than one, so it supports the philosophy of acknowledging good work and stuff you like for one reason or another. The reason I headlined the news on this Work in progress is because it very much is, this is the first quick hack and the intent as always is to get feedback to make it better.
As Joonas says, we might very well do a bit of a separate polling feature with more bells and whistles, but what is kind of cool with what we have now is that it works for all tasks right away. Of course it needs a bit of fine tuning and more polish, but at least we have something to play with.
The polling or ranking feature is just one part of the feature set we are working on to make production leaders on here more productive. The task leader functionality that we launched last week is part of the same set, we are looking at how to move shots onwards to new tasks and stuff like that. Things quite a few have asked for and we hope to put the summer months into good use and get some long overdue features live.
In any case, stay tuned for more in the not too distant future;-)
As said, this is just an early stage of polls. We will almost certainly take the votes separate from thumbs (karma) and make it a bit easier for production leaders to choose the participating shots or whatever they want ( selecting a director by voting, maybe? ;) )
The poll feature is cool, how do you activate it?
As a notorious nitpicker I have to criticize though; I don't like it's connected to the normal thumbs-up function. I think that button is also often used to acknowledge participation or thoughts in a good direction, but that is way different from saying: THIS is the BEST shot of the lot!
So maybe more development should go into that, but as you said the work will continue... It's definitely a good start :D
