Kildare Tour
Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 4:23 am
So Jonas had asked me to do up some simple tour software, and I said I would when I got back. I thought it would just be a couple hours easy coding. Unfortunately, me being who I am, it turned into two days because I wanted to make it right instead of just doing the bare minimum. You now have a bunch more features than I originally intended. That said, I haven't rigorously error trapped/tested it and I also haven't bothered to prettify it with a banner or favicon. (Incidentally, Jonas, if you'd like to make a banner for a tour editor I've just programmed ...). But it is finished. And here it is:
Start page for the Kildare Tour
Start page for all tours (currently only Kildare Tour, but in the future more tours can be added easily)
Main Menu (for those logged in)
I've spent enough time on this already tonight, so I won't explain how it works now beyond a very basic explanation; I'll just let you guys explore. Once you register accounts, I'll give all Kildarians Editor permission level (which means you can edit all pages in the Kildare Tour - by default (and for security reasons) you can only edit pages you have created yourself). Jonas, I'll give you Admin level permissions, which basically allow you to reset passwords, give other people permissions and edit the tour info (including banner and favicon).
Basic explanation: Use this program to create pages for a tour. It has a basic WYSIWYG editor with which you can format the html page, including pictures, links etc. All the pages are stored in my database and called up as needed - they aren't separate html files. The advantages of doing this instead of you just making your own html pages is:
a. Anyone can do it without needing web hosting or html experience.
b. It's really easy to edit pages done by other people.
I've given the tour the Shireroth css theme from the bank as a default, and haven't added in a banner or favicon yet. All are subject to change as soon as you guys create something better/as at all.
Enjoy!
