ZakStunts 2005 (aka 6.0)

[zaqrack]

OK here I'll always list the new functions implemented.

you can always access the site at
http://stunts.mine.nu/zakstunts/2005 while under development, whenseason 2005 starts it'll be the default page of course.
Beware, this is a development snapshot, I also test on this one, if its working and then not working in the next minute that means I'm coding right at the moment

so until now:

-Lots of background, php engine improvements, I'll spare explaining them.
-site-wide login, you only have to do it once after you arrive. (known: bug after login you have to press a menuitem to be fully logged in)
-You can register for the 2005 season
-You can post news
-You can change your desired resolution (effect: newsbar visible or not on the right side) settings are saved of course and used the next time too when you log in.


next jobs:
- latest replays announcement (either in newsbar or welcome page if in 800x600)
- profile editing
- image upload/replay sending

I'll write here if anything is finihsed and you can use it.
Please do some testing for me, and report bugs make my job easier.
Thanks
This first post will always change according to the latest changes.

Done, tested, working:

after login two new menu items:

view profile  (work: 70 codelines)
edit profile (work:160 codelines)

where you can edit or modify! your existing profile.
profiles can be also accessed from the pipsqueaks list.

still missing function here: picture upload/change,

[zaqrack]

News archive now up and working

66 codelines...

[zaqrack]

monthly scoreboard is working now, with the same functions as last year, plus in advance:

-new pointsystem as proposed in 2005rules topic (can still change)
-time difference from previous replay sent by pipsqueak (if any)
-time difference from leader

245 codelines.

Good to hear you're working hard, ZakStunts site is improving every year, good job.

[BonzaiJoe]

It sounds great! I'm already looking forward to 2005

[zaqrack]

done in the past hour:

- 6 latest times sent now appear live on the newsbar or the "latest news" when using 800x600 (72 codelines)
- newsbar/latest news now uses a different algorhtyhm to step between newsposts, so you can theoretically browse the whole archive by pressing 6 news / 6 previous. However for this there is the news archive up and working
-bugfix: from scoreboard now you really can access the profiles
-bugfix: from menu now you can go directly to current/previous track's scoreboard

I'm doing a great progress, season/team championship doesnt need big changes, but since I'm migrating to a more secure php setting (register globals=off, wont explain now I have to reformat slightly all the existing 2004, 2003, 2002 pages. Not such a big job, only 4-10 lines in each, still work.

[zaqrack]

news:

-added "2005,info,control" menu header pics
-added and reviewed all the pages which are in the section" info"
-added permanent competition with
-changed scoreboard background colouring to a "fade to black" scheme. You can check out how it'll look like at permanent comp - default track. seasons results will have the same scheme, maybe with a bit bigger fade interval

[zaqrack]

not strictly related to the 2005 site, but I have reorganized the forum categories

[zaqrack]

little change: I changed the fade to black color fade order at scoreboards at season&team pages, becasue it looks better like this on the green background. This way its rather "fade to green"
