title: Site Improvements Part 1
|

|
Since the launch of the new site last year, several improvements have
|
|
been made to the site. Some of you may have noticed that the site is
|
|
looking a bit different since yesterday.

|
|
The site now contains several navigation panels to look up old news.
|
|
Another (maybe) less noticeable improvement has been made to the page
|
|
caching engine. Over the past year, PCSX2.net has been using a custom
|
|
written cache engine. Whilst this had been functioning well enough for
|
|
sometime now, it still had a few nasty bugs which where hard to trace,
|
|
leading to glitches such as _Page 1 of 0_ .
|
|
|
|
Also due to a demand for a cleaner (and easier to maintain) code, we
|
|
have been looking into several template engines. Thus the engine used to
|
|
cache pages has be switched.
|
|
|
|
For the current version of the portal, we're using the _Smarty_ template
|
|
engine. More information on how smarty works will follow in a later blog
|
|
article.

|
|
The pcsx2.net community is pretty large (including Windows and Linux
|
|
users) it's no surprise that users are using different kinds of
|
|
browsers. To be compatible with most recent browsers, most pages are
|
|
XHTML 1.1 compatible (the compat page is the only exception at the
|
|
moment), because of this standard, PCSX2.net should be viewable in
|
|
Firefox 1.5.x, IE6, IE7 beta, Opera 8.x and Opera 9.x.
|
|
|
|
An interesting result of this high browser compatibility, is that
|
|
PCSX2.net can be browsed on SONY's PSP unit! To give you an impression
|
|
on how this looks, here are a few shots:
|
|
|
|
**\[News page\]** and **\[Screenshots page\]**

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
**\[Compat page - using the search!\]** and **\[Contact page\]**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The upcoming weeks a new function will be added to the compat page. To
|
|
give you a small hint:
