Final Project and loose ends pt2

I plan to continue to work on the site. I did not realize how much I fun I would have coming up with the design for it. And working with PHP proved to be tough but also a delight. Over the next couple of months I will review what we covered and make the site more user interactive. There were some fade-in effects that I couldn’t get to work on the character pages…that are needling me. I also will keep this blog alive with updates to the site. And like Janet, I’m going to go the domain route and hopefully get my hands on two that have come to mind. ~crosses fingers that they are not already taken~

Keep in touch and best of luck on all your projects.

Final Project and loose ends pt1

There are still some updates that I need to do, but it would be at the risk of being axed.

Here’s a link to the final project. The gallery is working, but I want to add a banner to the gallery section and content to the video section. I tried using a free program (FFMPEGX) to convert video files to flash but for some reason (as I have noticed with other programs) there seems to be a conflict with Mac OS Leopard. Since I’ve only recently started using Leopard I’ve found myself somewhat annoyed in the last two weeks. As for the flash conversion, I used http://www.zamzar.com/ (be sure to have your pop-up blockers on if you visit the link).

As for the sites that I mentioned in the last class… DazStudio for free 3D software and not-so-free, but nicely discounted products (with membership).

Yetii for tab persistence and other tab niceties.

Galleria for a javascript image gallery.

Also there’s the issue assignment 7 (image uploading), which is only partially working. You can register, sign in, and upload. The image will go straight to a folder, but I’m having problems getting the image filename to appear as text in the text file that is supposed to store the image and caption. It’s probably something I could fix with fresh eyes…perhaps. Most likely I will have to check to see what code other people used. I’ve been relying heavily on the text I have been reading (PHP Solutions).

Will write more after work.
