Now featuring an administration panel and proper user management things. Also, some extra tweaks here and there. Opinionated is still very basic, but it’s quite usable.

This is the latest version of Opinionated, my hyper-basic democratic idea sharing and ranking web application. I believe this version adds minor cosmetic tweaks and the ‘change password’ feature (yes, it’s that basic). I could add more features like moderation but I feel that would go against the spirit of free democratic discourse (although perhaps it could use an “exile user” feature). The code’s there, so if anyone did want such a feature they should be able to add it themselves (or ask me nicely to do it).

This is the first release of Opinionated (the software). Everything you need is included in the zip: edit the variables in connect.php to suit your database, edit the $settings array in start.php to customise the strings, and import the contents of opinionated.sql into a new database.
Note: there is an extra array key you can customise that is not included by default in the source release: submittext. This defines a message displayed on the ’submit’ page: to use it, add something along the lines of
'submittext' => '<p>By submitting this entry, you agree to our rules of use</p>',
to the array definition.

Opinionated is my new project and an experiment in democracy and content. Here anyone can (once they have signed up) post opinions of any kind—links, humour, insight, whatever—andother people can rate it. This is a minimalistic project, so there’s not much in the way of fancy features. Work out the navigation for yourself. Visit it, sign up, have your say, and help sort the wheat from the chaff.*
* at time of writing, it’s all chaff.
