varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback UPDATE ! All Stories/Forum topics (uptil 5 hours ago I'm afraid since that's the time that Ravi created the database dump) updated on the site. Could you guys check that you can login to http://varun.isi.edu/icf/ Also let me know if you have difficulty in posting/reading stuff.
Dhondy Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Site looks good. A bit slow to load. How do you find the current look created by Ravi, Varun?
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback I love the board.. it's fast and responsive, but my only concern is it's phpbb which is quite hackable. And the new bats and stuff are kickass.
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Oh forgot to ask you Dhondy. Were you able to login ? And any other features apart from the Slowness issue ? (should be better now since I was downloading stuff on the pc.. and it should be much faster on a server).
Dhondy Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback No other issues. It looks great. What's the plan with this site, Varun? An alternative theme for this place if Ravi gets bored with the current look? Not ICF-3, shurely?
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Well Dhondy the idea was for it to be more the article/blog/news centric site that the initial vision was (as Rahul told me).
Don Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback cant log in varun :wall:
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Hehe yeah noticed that Don.. My Institute's network is down/slow right now :huh:
Dhondy Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback So that's the vision, i.e. the template for the vision. I suspect it's your lab for playing around with ideas, Varun. :-) You are looking for that perfect look, aren't you? Realistically though, there can only be one site for forums, blogs, articles..
Don Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback so varun have u connected ur forums to this forums MYSQL ..
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Yes Dhondy, the idea is for one site only. I'll talk to Ravi about this, 'coz I was thinking that he wanted to replace this site in around 3 months time or earlier.. If not, no matter.. I'll just keep experimenting.. Gonna write a component for that site for the SuperSelector soon.
Dhondy Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback The superselector needs a site, and IMO, it should be this site, with its large, and ever increasing user base. But it's up to you, as it's your baby. As for the theme, Ravi will speak for himself, but I don't see any problems with implementing it here at some stage. The hallmark of a dynamic site is innovation and change, and as such interfaces will change over time and evolve. If Ravi feels that your theme has a lot to offer, it would be completely natural to see it here at some stage... To be replaced by something even better in a few months, no doubt.
King Tendulkar Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Althogh having a site which one recognises and is comfortable with is important. Continually changing the site may not be best thing :chin:
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Hehe, didn't mean to ruffle so many feathers ! It's an experiment more than anything with some of the better CMS software out there.
gator Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Varun, i cant login...
varun Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Should be fixed now gator.
gator Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback can login now... cool..
vroomfondel Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback dude, very ncie format. I was reading through posts, and I think it's more 'readable' than the phpBB format. but I get dsr's point -- no point dropping the kid now that he has been selected, give him a decent run. yours can be the lambi race ka ghoda eventually -- with embedded flash videos uploaded by ravi/gator/rajeev, and super-selector, and the radio show, and the ICF-Monitor peer-reviewed monthly magazine with articles from users. :chin: plenty of room for you experiment.
varun Posted November 7, 2006 Author Posted November 7, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback Thanks vroom. Yeah you can already do embedding of flash etc. Newsletter is no biggie. Radio show ? :huh:
varun Posted November 10, 2006 Author Posted November 10, 2006 Re: New Site Software Feedback so varun have u connected ur forums to this forums MYSQL .. No Don, was just using a mysqldump that Ravi gave me.
