--a member guide on how to use the pets feature would be nice so I dont have to do it --
Isn't it pretty self explanatory? =P
No lol. Maybe for people who have had pets on other places, but I'm trying to look at it from the POV of members who are seeing this for the first time, think 'oh goody I can have a pet', go to the shop, buy one, then wonder what they do with it and what it all means. The skills, feeding and training, I think needs more explanation but maybe not from you, but from me
but since mine doesnt seem to function properly, its hard to explain how its supposed to work
Basically if I install it on a live forum, I dont want 100s of questions on day one, which I can see happening
--more info on how to add/make skills--
What more info do you want? I'd love to help here, but I am not sure what I can give.
Yeah maybe not your job but I would like more guidance or examples of how to create them and make them work for each type of pet.
--see the pets in member profiles as well as pet central? or optional--
Look closely. Its already there. You just need the default skin.
I only have the default theme on my test forum and its really not there... I dont know if its a problem with the item or the forum.
--could the view link on posts be a mini thumbnail of the pet, or could you choose to show that or the blue paw, or a text link?--
Probably will use a text link or that blue paw. What do people think would be best?
If its a choice between the two, I would go with the paw symbol. We already have two text links for the shop,dont want too many text links, they take up more space
--fix the problem with the time as it seems to be off (see previous post)--
I'll look at it again, but it seems to be right for me.
I can try reinstalling again and see if that makes any difference
--I had a problem with the food not increasing the pets happiness/health etc (see previous post) I dont know if thats a bug or what--
Again, I'll look at it, But I donno what could be causing it.
yeah maybe if I reinstall... but currently its not doing what it tells you its doing
--a user guide and an admin guide maybe?--
What sort of guide do you want?
lol again maybe not your job to write a guide, but maybe more info in the pets area to say what its all about and what you can do. Eg things like, buying a cage to get more pets, feeding the pets and what happens, how the skills work and what the purpose is, what happens during training and so on. for admins, how to create new pets, new skills, how to set limits and so on
sorry don't mean to be a pain
My only suggestion would be to be able to place the pets in categories, for instance, like having a category that says Dogs, and when the user clicks on the Dog link they will be taken to dogs, where they can have different types or colors, whatever the admin adds. Just general categories, I can name a few like Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fantasy, etc; but should the admin of need to add them they can.
Other than that I think that this mod is TOTALLY awesome, and I've not had any troubles, or am I just lucky? LOL
Categories! good one
That would be great for forums with lots of different breeds
