[22:09] omii [22:09] do you think we should bother with the domain [22:09] um [22:09] possibly [22:09] i can renew it without money [22:09] but [22:09] that makes me pay for my hosting a month sooner :( [22:09] i say just put it into another account, like mine, and leave it [22:09] like [22:10] jpolito.zlique.org/hlmapping/whatever.php [22:10] if it expires, it will get sucked up by spambots [22:10] it is in your account [22:10] o rite [22:10] well we could just forget the domain [22:10] * Agrajag (~Agrajag@Agrajag.user.gamesurge) Quit (Ping timeout) [22:10] * Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag [22:10] yeah [22:10] up to you [22:10] it'd be a better resouce than naything out there if we just usedit [22:10] i dont know [22:10] we should [22:10] at least get a working site [22:10] yeah [22:10] and then we can worry about a domain [22:11] well [22:11] I can install phpbb (again) [22:11] twhl didnt have a domain for years [22:11] isnt it there already? [22:11] i can always put it as a subdomain [22:11] i dunno [22:11] that's why i gave it to you [22:12] o [22:12] there's drupal or some shit on there [22:12] e107 [22:12] actually [22:12] well we dont need a domain [22:12] not yet [22:12] and a forum [22:12] ok [22:12] what I'll to is put it as a subdomain under zlique.org [22:12] mapping.zlique.org [22:12] that works great [22:12] ok [22:13] hlmapping.zlique would be better ;D [22:13] alright [22:13] can do [22:13] hlmapping.zlique.org [22:13] i'll give that to you [22:13] and you can do whatever for it [22:13] when do you have to pay for the site? [22:13] i cant do a lot for it, i have no idea what can be done [22:13] it's 10/mo but i have a few more months [22:13] let em check [22:14] if you need any money for it i would be willing to help, your site being the place that i depend on for ftp space D;; [22:14] i have 6 months left [22:15] i think [22:15] 67.15 / 9.95 month [22:15] yeah, 6 or 7ish [22:15] oh okay [22:15] that is good [22:15] yeah [22:15] i should be able to get a job by then and it won't be a worry ;) [22:16] and, of course, if i get another rewards program thing, i can just pay for a year at once [22:17] yes yes [22:17] as for hlmapping, i cant really figure out what to do with it [22:18] i have lots of ambition for it but I don't know anything about setting up a proper site [22:19] i wonder if vbulletin would be worse than phpbb for a forum [22:19] seems like i am too familiar with it to like phpbb [22:19] but i hear the security is no good [22:20] remember Puchi's site design? [22:20] we should totally work that out [22:21] i have it somewhere [22:21] and [22:21] i can work it out [22:21] but [22:21] I'm sick atm [22:21] and [22:21] moving next week [22:22] http://hiddenstuff.nacl-h2o.net/hlm/hlmapping.html [22:22] don't worry about it then [22:22] well [22:22] i can def. do it [22:22] i know enough about css/xml [22:22] xhtml* [22:23] kewl [22:23] do you think we could just have some sort of submit thing on the site that lets people add tutorials that way, rather than connecting the forums to the site? [22:24] if we had one script like that, we would automatically have the news script and possibly the file upload script [22:25] i can see [22:25] I might custom-code it [22:25] but that's a long ways off [22:25] yeah [22:25] month or two at the minimum [22:25] because I just don't have enough time [22:25] it sounds like a pain [22:25] especially if i start doing school and work [22:25] i would just [22:25] 12hourdays = suck [22:25] look for one that is already made [22:25] i dont know where to look D: [22:25] google is useless [22:26] well [22:26] I don't really want to [22:26] try hotscripts [22:26] ;D [22:26] it should be really easy [22:26] to create a new [22:26] just, name, email, title, posttext [22:26] aye? [22:27] yeah [22:27] basically [22:28] i wonder if we could just [22:28] modify e107 [22:28] possibly [22:28] but [22:28] it's a pain in the ass to do [22:29] because I'd have to put in our stuff /on top of/ their stuff [22:29] making for quite ugly [22:29] i see [22:29] hmm [22:29] if you really want a user-system, i'll mod e107 [22:29] but [22:29] well [22:30] it would be nice, but really it doesnt matter [22:30] I need to screw around with it more to figure out how much of a pain it'll be [22:30] as long as tutorials and files can be posted [22:30] and [22:30] tutorials are just images and text [22:30] so it could just be a forum script we could use [22:31] even a modified guest book or something [22:35] ok [22:35] yeah [22:35] multi-pages? [22:36] nah [22:36] well [22:36] if they showed threads in a list, maybe [22:36] hm? [22:36] i dont know [22:36] a post shouldnt be split into pages [22:36] well [22:36] anything else i dont care about really D;; [22:37] not automatically [22:37] but [22:37] you could add [[newpage]] or something [22:37] and the rest would go on the new page [22:37] right [22:37] that would be fine [22:37] awesome [22:37] 5 images per page, each below 640x800, certain size [22:38] the perfect tutorial page [22:39] i would be willing to write tutorials and such, but there isnt a point unless there is a place to put them [22:39] right [22:39] most of them are just re-writes of other site's tutorials [22:39] get some screens of other tutorial sites that you want me pull certain things from [22:39] hm? [22:40] * MistakeN^eckpeck (MistakeN_e@137.28.234.42) has joined #mapping [22:40] * ChanServ sets mode: +v MistakeN^eckpeck [22:40] !inviteme studs [22:40] * MistakeN^eckpeck (MistakeN_e@137.28.234.42) has left #mapping [22:40] uh, ok? [22:40] what do you like about other tutorial sites [22:40] like, layout? [22:40] http://twhl.co.za/tutorialbrowse.php?tuttype=1&subtype=3 [22:41] http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=114 [22:41] http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=114 [22:41] er [22:41] http://twhl.co.za/tutorial.php?id=71 [22:42] these tutorial pages are essentially the exact format that i had in my head [22:42] ok [22:42] just because it is so simple to understand [22:42] yeah [22:42] do you want a mod-review? [22:42] they have it split by beginning, intermediate, and advanced [22:42] mod-review? [22:43] admins reviewing tutorials before they're posted [22:43] that would be most desirable [22:43] ok [22:43] prevents people from spamming up the works [22:43] then approve/edit/deny? [22:43] yeah [22:43] ok [22:43] u [22:43] um [22:43] not sure how far you could get with that [22:43] save this log [22:43] i shall [22:44] thank you [22:44] my mind is tooaddled to do things proper [22:44] if you have the initiative to like... code all of that [22:44] i mean, i wouldnt know where to begin or how hard it is to do any of it [22:44] well [22:45] i'll see how far e107/wordpress/other things can go [22:45] we could just hijack TWHL ;O [22:45] ;p [22:47] any other questions, concerns? [22:48] um [22:48] can we work on a project statement now? [22:48] that being? [22:48] just so i have something to reference when i get time :P [22:48] goals, timeframe, other stuff [22:48] no timeframe needed [22:48] ok [22:48] one sec [22:48] you have until the end of time itself [22:48] this is unimportant [22:49] goals [22:49] its only purpose is to make #mapping a more important place [22:49] the goal [22:49] hrm [22:49] one sec [22:49] to establish a self sustaining website which needs little maintenance to function [22:50] aside from someone approving the tutorials [22:50] Project Goal: Create an online interactive component to #mapping [22:50] it just needs to be a database where people can be linked to and read tutorials [22:50] ok [22:50] and download maps [22:50] etc [22:50] Project Goal: Create a low maintenance online interactive component to #mapping [22:51] that's the one-sentence goal [22:51] ? [22:51] sure ;D [22:52] requirements [22:52] 1) Administrator-approval based file database [22:52] 2) Administrator-approval based tutorial database [22:52] 3) Forum [22:53] good? [22:53] yes [22:53] anything else [22:53] not that i can think of [22:53] if that is done, everything works [22:54] ok [22:54] oh [22:54] one more thing [22:54] 4)All project requirements unified under a single portal [22:55] if that means what i think it does, yes! [22:55] yay [22:57] i'll upload ye a log [22:58] thank you [22:58] lemme know all your contact info again [22:58] aim/msn/ etc. [22:58] JPolito123@gmail.com = MSN and email [22:58] MrJPolito = AIM [22:58] which is the best to reach you at [22:59] and of course the SvenCo-op forums [22:59] MSN usually [22:59] if you want live discussion [22:59] ok [22:59] i check the forums and my email daily, and every once in a while (once per month) i dont use AIM or MSN [23:01] ok [23:01] awesomeness
