benm Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I work for a local ISP and have plenty of storage space to burn with unlimited data yada yada. I recently bought a '95 GTS-T and since then have found it hard to get ideas of what to do to my car because well there are no 'fantastcic' websites with pictures of 'real' skylines (as in under $40k) street type cars. I've quickly thrown up http://skylines.pnc.com.au in the slight chance that people might want to have there very own pics hosted on a simple website where they can show there mates, gather ideas from other Skyline owners or simply for your 2mins of fame on the world wide web. So if your interested, you might have 2 pics or 242 pics please visit the website and email them to me and i'll chuck em up. The site aint much at the moment but with no content its hard to create, so the more you send the better it will be. If there isn't much feedback i won't waste my time and effort but it would be great to get a large database of the awesome Skylines that i see here and there on this forum and others. Not looking to make the site a huge thing but 30 or 40 good Skylines would be fantastic no matter how little or much u can contribute. Cheers.

Timmy G Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I was thinking of doing smth like that.. Let people enter in their name, what model/spec/year car they have, what mods they have done, and post photos via forms. It's just I'm sooooo freakin' lazy and haven't started, maybe you can pick up where I left off?

benm Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Ultimately thats the way i'd like to do it although it depends on the feedback/response and also im not a webdesigner im a Support Operator so HTML/PHP isn't my forte` If you have some ideas PM me.

B-Man Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I think it is a good idea - could link it to the gallery page on the www site. (Current Gallery is pretty ordinary) Have you seen this thread ??? http://forums.skylinesaustralia.com/showth...=&threadid=5970 Might be wothwhile posting in there.

Timmy G Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Maybe after my exams finish on Dec 3rd I'll have a play around. Maybe start with a simple textarea description + file upload input for pics. I'd have to install imagemagik to get the thumbnails through, prolly safe to leave the originals as-is because people want hi-res happy snaps. What I really wanted to do though was to specify stock specs for cars in a database, so people adding their car could just pick what car they had. Then their "listing" or page inherits the stock specs, and they can override if (if they have mods). But that would be a real b*tch to code. I think if I do it I'll aim for something more acheivable.. just a database of stock specs (and none of the overriding stuff).

Shell Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Just so you all know, we will have a gallery of SAU members cars on the front page of this site... the front page design is being working on as we speak (big thanks to ex-static!!), then you will be able to submit a pic & details.... not to say you guys shouldn't set up your own galleries or anything!! just letting you know that this will be happening Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6008-skylinespnccomau/#findComment-90829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy G Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 If I make a script in Dec, I think a very acheivable list of features would be: 1) People sign up for a login (required to be able to manage their car's home page) 2) Admin backend to enter a bit of personal info (name, location, age, bio crap) + car's specs manager (make/model/blah) + photo manager (upload + script thumbnails). It shouldn't be too hard to faciliate multiple cars per login. 3) Public site, which at first can just list every member (and you click their name to see their page). Then when I spend more time on it, put in a search engine / voting system per car. Problems encountered with the search engine are model names. You'll have people putting in "ECR33", "R33 GTST", "R33 GTS25T", "R33 GTS25-t", etc. It'll be a nightmare. So that means someone (maybe a volunteer) can spend an hour adding in makes and models so there is a discrete list to pick from. *** so it's not like Drive.com.au where when you search for Skylines none of them stay in proper model categories, boy that pisses me off *** Anyway, maybe you guys should post your ideas so it can be better thought out, and maybe one day it will eventuate. Tim *EDIT: had another good idea. Each car could have a checkbox "For sale" and an asking price field or something. Then in the public site search, people can tick "For sale cars only" or something.

Timmy G Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I started working on the site that I spoke about a few messages above. I am not going to touch it again until after Nov 28th, and only really finish it off after Dec 3rd (dates when my exams are). Anyway, just working on a user admin (modify account details), then I'll work on the listing info. When that's done people will be able to add info about their cars, but no photos yet. Won't do the photo admin until after Dec 3rd. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6008-skylinespnccomau/#findComment-91467 Share on other sites More sharing options...

benm Posted November 14, 2002 Author Share Posted November 14, 2002 Yeah he's an auto boy. Unfortunately the car is at the smash repairs being fixed. He had the car no less then 3wks before it had a mechanical failure, throttle jammed wide open and it rammed through 2 cars. About $8.5k damage, he should get it back in around 2wks time. Its 100% stock. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6008-skylinespnccomau/#findComment-91486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
