New version: Manual, bug reports, notifications!

Rasmus Rønn Nielsen, The Dudes 24 August 2010, 12:52

As you might have noticed, we have published a new version of Virtual Manager this morning! I'll describe what have changed in this post.

[b]Bug reports[/b]
To optimize the efficiency of our bug fixing efforts, we have made brand new system for handling bug reports. This system will replace the old (and not so smart) [url=/forums/int/bugs]Bugs forum[/url]. Check it by clicking the "Bug reports" button in the menu at the bottom of the page [url=/bugs]or click here[/url]. If you find any bugs, please report it via this new system, thanks!

[b]Average on player training page[/b]
Managers with VM Premium are now shown a training average on the players' training page. [url=/players/3777860-johan-dahlen/training]Have a look at this example[/url] :)

[b]Notifications[/b]
We've also included a beta version of our new "notification feature". In the next version of Virtual Manager mails from the system (i.e. "You player was retired-mails") will be replaced by "notifications". With notifications it will be much easier to get an overview of the latest important incident regarding your club. [url=/notifications]Have a look at the beta version here[/url] (because this feature is brand new, you might see no or few notifications).

Until were done testing the notification system, you will still receive mail from the system.

[b]Layout and navigation[/b]
As you can see we have also tweaked the layout just a bit. We have moved some of the less used features (such as Control panel and Shop) and moved away to the upper right corner of the page. This gives more room for the features we use the most. Some buttons have been moved around. For instance the "World" button has been removed from "Trade" (as we feel it did not logically belong there). Instead, it has gotten it's own menu section. "Cups" (which was found in "My club" before) is now found under "World".

Overall, we have made the hierarchy more logical which will make everything easier to use (when we've all gotten used to it, that is).

[b]Beta-version of new manual system[/b]
The manual have been in need of updates for quite some time. The primary reason we have not worked on improving it is that we have not had the right tools. Therefore, we developed a brand new manual system to improve things. The new system handles internationalization much a better and we can easily assign managers as manual editors for a given language's manual. On top of this, we have made navigating the manual much easier for managers. [url=/new_manual/da]Check out an early beta version here[/url]! (It's not done at the moment)

[b]Suspension[/b]
The number of suspension days are now decreased for matches where one of the clubs could not muster enough players.

We hope you love these changes as much as we do, and would very much like to hear your comments :)
