I use now Diferior mainly as a blog platform, and i'm thinking to pass to wordpress.
The fact is, i like Diferior, because it's different. Everybody uses now wordpress, and i don't like being like everybody
I haven't used that much the torrent side of diferior, i found it kindda slow, and no documentation how to use external tracker.
some wishlist:
- how can i use external trackers ? - some voting plugin... or better, a bridge or something to have wordpress plugins work on Diferior... in that way, you will have a strong blog application and a nice tracker embedded. - username on comments does not support „space“ chars... many users told me that they quit commenting, because the validation rules are not displayed, and after they comment, something was wrong, and the comment was lost when they go „back“ on browser. - the captcha fonts are small, sometimes are unreadable, even when i change the background... - image formating is non existing... like, if I post a img tag, if the image is bigger that 640x480, it will mess the tables... some image slideshow or thumbnail plugin will be nice. - add some color... on the top side, put a banner/image that user can change, and have over it the search, register, login, sitename fields... - let user change the colors of the theme, i think it's not that hard to have some input values for background, textbox, blocks, etc... changes that will affect the css
Don't forget, if you want Diferior to be a major app in the business, you must invest time in it, by developing, comunicating with the users, and so on...
you know, with great power, comes great responsability, and after all, even if it's open source, you will be the one that will take the benefits from developing a great app.

I use now Diferior mainly as a blog platform, and i'm thinking to pass to wordpress. Aww, sorry to hear that.
I haven't used that much the torrent side of diferior, i found it kindda slow, and no documentation how to use external tracker. What do you mean by 'slow'? The code is pretty optimized and efficient, if that's what you are talking about.
- how can i use external trackers ? It's pretty easy actually: Admin > Downloads > Torrent downloads > Other tracker > Save That's it.
- some voting plugin... or better, a bridge or something to have wordpress plugins work on Diferior... in that way, you will have a strong blog application and a nice tracker embedded. I'll look into writing a plugin wrapper, although I highly doubt it is easy or even possible.
- username on comments does not support „space“ chars... many users told me that they quit commenting, because the validation rules are not displayed, and after they comment, something was wrong, and the comment was lost when they go „back“ on browser. Ah, that's true. I'll note that in my todo.
- the captcha fonts are small, sometimes are unreadable, even when i change the background... Just click on the image and it will be redrawn.
- image formating is non existing... like, if I post a img tag, if the image is bigger that 640x480, it will mess the tables... some image slideshow or thumbnail plugin will be nice. Max. size is template-dependent, that's why I decided not to put any limits on image size. In any case, I'll make a note of this in my todo.
- add some color... on the top side, put a banner/image that user can change, and have over it the search, register, login, sitename fields... - let user change the colors of the theme, i think it's not that hard to have some input values for background, textbox, blocks, etc... changes that will affect the css Template is completely separate from the site itself. If you want to alter the header and know some HTML, check templates/skio/index.tpl.php. If you want to change colors, check tpl_resources/skio/style/somecolor.
Don't forget, if you want Diferior to be a major app in the business, you must invest time in it, by developing, comunicating with the users, and so on... Well, the script is almost 10 months old now, so I think I got that one down. Diferior _IS_ very time-consuming.
