[email] [print]  TBJ News Is Now Automated.

Aug 15, 2003 04:20 UTC, by Chris Simmons, Senior Journalist.
From the phear-my-php-skillz department...

Ok, this is it! I'm taking the plunge, and flipping the switch.

The news from this point on will be retrieved automatically from the mysql database, instead of static text files like we've been doing all this time.

Remember a few months ago, we announced that we were working on a new administration system for the news, well this is it. For all intents and purposes, TBJ should look relatively the same.

The archives are offline for now, except for the static news files that will be displayed with the old site colors. As time goes on, these will be moved into the actual database, and "backdated" to be fully incorporated into the system.

Thanks to our beta testers who have helped us tweak the backend. It doesn't look like a lot has changed up front, but that's a good thing, right?
