A little something I've been working on

mike · What box? Joined: 30 Dec 2002 Posts: 3134

In my spare time (which is nearly nonexistant Rolling Eyes

), I've been working on a portal page for the site. It will eventually replace what we have at the site index (http://arizonahikers.com/index.html). You can get a look at it by going to http://arizonahikers.com/forum/portal.php. You can also see the "development" version (that means the one I'm using to test stuff with) at http://arizonahikers.com/forum/portal_test.php. And as you can see, the random photo isn't working, yet. I'm taking suggestions for things to add to this page. In the works are the random photo, and a list of the most recently updated albums in the photo gallery. I have both working as standalones, but not yet working integrated into the portal page.

Also if anyone wants to try their hand at a little php coding, shoot me a message!! Wink

Nice touches Mike. Just make sure you don't catch Joe-itis though. Wink

So, what's the status of the Gallery? Find anything out?

Great ....
Couple of inputs ...

1) Can we have a category that is the next planned event akin Epic hike etc. on the main page ?
2) Next trail related comunity activity -- may be we can help out AZ trail deve work / clean up activities etc be posted so that these groups can get some publicity/help and we get some hiking opportunities and be a part of something...related to hiking

Just my thoughts...

Looks Great Mike! I love it!!! I too like the idea of a next community event or major planned hike for the group... but perhaps to save you some work couldn't those be put under upcomming events that you already have up there? Or are you gonna limit that too one visable event?

Mike,

I would be very interested in giving php a shot. I would need a bit of guidance, as all my experience is in the Windows environment. Let me know what you are thinking, are you looking for help with the site or just want to share you open source knowledge and skills?

You know I like it Wink

There is so much phpBB and php/MySQL code out there, it's just a matter of tweaking. It might be nice to have a scrolling news block of the latest trip log topic and posts. Just a thought. Smile

Well Mike, I must say, I'm disappointed. I expected more. I was looking for local and international news to be a part of the page, as well as perhaps a few links to websites of interest. Get on that, won't you. Chop Chop.

You know I think it's awesome! I like it very much. Very Happy
