Embed code box.
I.E. A little box with the HTML needed to copy a comic into a blog, MySpace, etc.
Example
http://www.explosm.net/comics/1763/
That is the only thing IMHO "missing" from comicpress.
Cheers,

I'd love to be able to tell the manager that "new pages get scheduled for Mondays and Wednesdays" and have it do the work of figuring out what date the single file I'm uploading should be set at instead of having to stare at a calendar and the queue of posts myself.
I keep thinking about adding this myself but I've been too damn busy keeping the queue full!
edit: Here's some code I hacked into Singapore when I thought I was going to use the same backend for my comic as I do for my main website.
| Code: | // deal with schedulled galleries (webcomics, etc)
if ($this->gallery->schedule != '') {
$date = mktime(0,0,0,date("m",$date),date("d",$date),date("y",$date));
$today = mktime(0,0,0,date("m",time()),date("d",time())-1,date("y",time()));
$schedule = $this->gallery->schedule;
// conform date to schedule
// new date must be > newest image in gallery
// new date must be on a schedulled weekday
// if today's a schedulled day and this is the newest image
// then don't flip with it 'cause we're probably behind schedule!
$newest = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<$this->gallery->imageCount(); $i++) {
if ($this->gallery->images[$i]->date > $newest) $newest = $this->gallery->images[$i]->date;
}
// if this is the newest image and today's on the schedule, then
// WE'RE RIGHT ON THE DEADLINE! strip off h/m/s and be done with it.
if (($date > $newest) && (substr($schedule,date('w',$date),1) == '1')) {
$this->pushMessage("I see you're running late! Image scheduled for today.");
} else {
// this deals with gaps in the schedule due to Real Life.
if ($today > $newest) $newest = $today;
$dayTarget = (date('w',$newest)+1) % 7;
// loop through the schedule looking for the first day after the latest image
// or after today, if we're behind schedule.
for ($i=0; $i<7; $i++) {
if (substr($schedule,(($dayTarget+$i)%7),1) == '1') {
$date = mktime(0,0,0,date("m",$newest),date("d",$newest)+$i+1,date("y",$newest));
$this->pushMessage("Image scheduled for the next available day.");
break;
}
}
}
} |
(note: $date has already been defined when we get to this code as either the date found in the file's EXIF data, or the file-creation date. $schedule is a seven-character string of 0 or 1.)

I heard elsewhere in the forum that 2.9 should have some support for storyline navigation... a bit of some of the advancement on the new features put out for 2.8.
This sounds great, but I'm wondering how this separate storyline navigation could work.
For instance, I think of it possibly two ways. One is that you can only go from the start of one story line to the start of another. Like with a click, you can go to the start of storyline A, then to the start of storyline B, storyline C.
The second is that you can navigate only within the storyline itself. So say I have storyline A and storyline B, both of which start to overlap in dates. (Monday is Storyline A post, Tuesday is storyline B post, Thursday is storyline A post, ect. ect.) Navigation in this other way would allow someone to navigate only within a particular storyline, skipping the pages that contain the other regardless of the date of the published post.
Does anyone know which one this is, if its both. If neither, I'll leave it as a hopeful suggestion. |

Storyline navigation works like this:
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
If say your on chapter 2 and you want to navigation *inside* chapter two you would have the 'previous in chapter' button and 'next in chapter' buttons to navigate with if you liked.
Previous and Next chapter buttons are available as well

Hi all, good work on Comicpress.
One suggestion I think might be a good idea is a little box on the navigation bar, indicating what number a particular comic is, in he context of all comics in the strip/storyline.
For example, When i go to the first strip in a storyline, I have no idea whether there are only 20 strips before the end, or 200!
If a little box said something like '9/20' or '15/200', it would imediately let me know how long the strip/storyline is, and how far/near I am from the end. This helps me know whether I can rush to finish, bookmark for later or prepare for a long read.
What do you think? |

| Something I would greatly appreciate would be support for something like this: http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/ where I can upload different languages and have the reader toggle between them. |

This is already available for all text except the comic, i'm going to work on the translation comic directories soon as I get the free time. However it will be a priority in CP 3.0

In addition to the usual wishlist stuff of multiple page comics uploaded on the same day, I would like to see
1) the ComicPress Social widget allow the addition of multiple buttons in a single widget with the option to customize layout (vertical/horizontal) instead of having to add each button separately!
That, or more customization of the "Share" button in the comics nav.
2) a little more customization of the "buy" feature, so people can offer multiple products-- like, say, a small print versus a large print, an original or a print, a framed/matted print versus a regular one, etc-- I know this is not too hard to do on one's own but it would be a nifty trick!
3) The ability to add extra HTML in the custom header and not just a single image. |

1) Social Widget was a spur of the moment thing, there are plugins otherwise that can be used from the wordpress.org repository?
2) .. look at the 2.9.0.13&14 versions of buy print, original & print available with original being auto-tagged sold if purchased.
3) If you created yourself a child theme, you can copy the header.php from inside the comicpress directory into your child theme and it will look at the header.php in your child theme first, edit the one in your child theme all you want.
