OKgamers.com - Revamping the main site, submit your photos now!
« on: February 25, 2009, 02:12:53 am »

Hey guys - we'll be turning our attentions to revamping parts of the site soon!  As a result, we'll be wanting to FINALLY update that sad sad photo rotator on the main site!

If you have any photos of LARGE size that you can link to, we can ad those in!  Remember to include date and location info!

Also, think PANORAMIC - the design sizes probably won't change - so remembere we'll need to fill that horizontal box!

If you cannot link to it, PM me to get details on how to get the picture to me!

Are you still going to be running (I think) the Javascript container to cycle over the images or you thinking more of a flash based approach where it's going to stream lots of pictures? I'll see what I can come up with maybe on Saturday at the SCIV tourney.

6 of 1, half dozen of another.  Flash is great, but requires the plugin, and adding more than the set array is time in flash, not code.

The Javascript solution is going to stay as far as I'm concerned, however I'm going to be building out the site in more dynamic directions, with php includes, etc - sadly the site was RIGHT before I started my PHP journey so long ago.  Anyway, so at that point, adding to the array / more photos will be a cinch, and won't be the delayed process it has been up till now.

And yes to photos - I'll have my camera with fresh batteries, and also Eric scored a free camcorder o_o, so yea we'll yea.

Yeah I understand that one. It took me 20 minutes to make something in flash very basic that I could make with CSS in like 2. Of course it could be that I haven't used flash since about 6 or 7 years ago XD I am having to relearn it for fun. Sounds like you have a good plan going though. I gotta get my learn on with PHP because sadly I'm a little behind the times.

I'm looking for 950 to 1000 pixel wide or larger photos that I can use for the front.

For instance - if I use Mccoolio's images - I'll have to make composite images where I take 2 of them and merge them, like I did with several current rotating images of the Smash 64 events.  Otherwise, won't be wide / large enough.

In addition to the photos, yes, I'd like to know about the event they were taken at.  That way I can continue with "Game / Date / event" sort of info on the pics, as I have been.
