Time for some updates!
I haven't been totally slacking this time, just on the updating the site front. In the background I've been working on RikeCart and the new version of mikebarlow.co.uk along with some new plugins for Wolf!

On the RikeCart front, I've been beavering away at it and hopefully soon I'll get some demo's up for people of the shop front end so people can see where I'm going with it. Aside from that, there's not much to add to what I've been up to on that.

With MikeBarlow.co.uk however there is more news! Basically the new design is marked up and ready to be skinned into the latest version of WolfCMS. Along with that, I've recoded ( and nearly finished) mbBlog. The main changes for this have been in the blog list section of the plugin, this is now running off the dispatcher routes that WolfCMS offers which is allowing me to have clean mod rewritten URLs! There are also optimisations with the code behind the front end and the admin section of the plugin which should make it run alot smoother!
Another plugin I've been working on is "mbMenu". This is basically a menu manager, Wolf provides you with the ability to list out pages but if you a plugin that doesn't have a content page you have to manually add it to the menu! Bad Times! mbMenu allows you to create different menus and then assign items to a menu allowing for custom internal links or even external links! This will as with the rest be up for download when it's completed.

There are a few helper scripts that I'll be putting up for download aswell soon but more on them later.
I'll be finishing up the site between now and the weekend so expect some downtime around the weekendish!

Yes I'm terrible, it's been nearly another month since my last update and sadly not alot has actually been done. Well not as much as I would have hoped.

RikeCart has been coming on but as I said alot more could have been done, it's what happens though sadly when you have a long day at work making websites / coding. Coming home to code is sometimes the last you want to do!

I have however started coding up the new MikeBarlow.co.uk website design. I really do like it alot, the homepage is nearly done but once that is done everything else should fall into place real quick. The bit that will take the longest is upgrading wolf and recoding mbBlog. It should work with 0.6.0 but it wouldn't be using the full potential of the plugin system that wolf offers!
EDIT: Here's a screenshot of the what the new homepage will look like. New Homepage Screenshot.

I do also have another plugin I'm thinking about but won't divulge much about that just yet but hopefully if I can find time I'll get round to it which should be good. (Providing someone doesn't beat me to it!)
