Here is the list

Bookmarklet for sharing articles

We have now made it easy for submitting articles on PHPCamp, just drag this Add To PHPCamp on you bookmarks toolbar on your browser. Next time when you find an article that you want to share, just click on that bookmarklet, and it will fill the form for you(note you need to be logged it in for this to work).

Ability to vote articles on listing page

Last time when we had released we had asked on twitter for for feedback. One of the feedback that we got from skoop (on twitter @skoop) was

php_skoop

ability to vote without having to go to details page. Well now you can vote on articles on article list page itself.

Made it easier to promote your article on Twitter and Facebook

We did this because we wanted to make it easier for you to post links on Twitter and Facebook so that you could ask your friends and colleagues to vote for your articles on PHPCamp.twitter-facebook

 

We also added this so that I can also easily promote the articles that i like :)

Added ‘Shared By’ to all our boiling articles

sharedby

We thought we should pass the limelight to campers who share the articles on PHPCamp so we added, ‘shared by’ to all our boiling articles, that get posted on Twitter.

PHPC.in our own url shortner

Yes we now have our own url shortner(sorry that is not for public use to keep the maintenance low). Earlier we were using is.gd, I loved the simplicity of is.gd but they had few downtimes which resulted in problems in our services so we decided to quickly roll our own service, also we wanted to have some insight on the links as well.

 

Your ideas and suggestions are important to us, leave a comment below to let us know.

Well this is it for now, have fun.

Yes we know that site looks amateurish, it lacks the polish of great website, but don’t  get that in your way of  having a great experience.

While you enjoy the articles, we are hard at work improving the website to make it 100% ready.

Here are few things that are high on our priority list for next few weeks,

  1. New improved and consistent look for the website.
  2. Firefox toolbar, to make it easy for you to submit and vote articles.
  3. A widget that you can include in your website, so that you readers can also vote for your articles right from you website itself.

While we are building these things, we will be happy to hear from you about your needs. Just contact us, and submit you views.
