You can post here any remarks or new ideas about the website.
- new tools
- menus
- search

I will start : Wouldn't it be great to have also the different ranks on the website. So you can select or search all knights, learners, ...

Feel yourself free...we can create new ideas for Mr Dj-Sith !

Wow some suggestions you made there :) I like the calendar one. Instant messaging could be done, kinda, if anyone is interested, i still have a shoutbox script somewhere...

Oh and please, PLEASE, dont add frames/music! :p That brings back some baaaad memories to me :P

(i didnt read all the replies yet) but.. How about a literal calender with customizable themes (dif images and dif layout), and it shows important dates, news updates on the days of the calender, and it shows class schedules. Plus time you are right now , like it highlights the day you are on.. You could go shockwave on this to make it really neat..

Another idea would be setting up duels over the in-browser system. So you can setup a date and it sends the challenge straight to the other player, and announces it on a news update or some sort of "duel board" that lists all duels going-on/going to happen. And if they are going on right now, you could click on a "spectate duel" button and itd automatically launch you to the server so you can watch the duel..

Another thing would be a cool graphical chart for newcomers to show the outline of all the academy ranks and who is in those ranks. You could show picture of the character the person is using and a comment I guess..

A fan-art section for all the wanna-be artists would be nice.


I dont mean to be rude. But possibly frames?? This layout is fine and all, but you shouldnt have to reload the same side menu everytime. How about a side frame or something like a menu that just always stays there (im no html wiz so I dunno)..

Oh yeah.. How about perm. logins? I have to keep re-logging in everytime i reboot or whatever else might cause it.


(edit: another thing could be music for the site.. either by a bottom frame with a large selection or just one long music file..
Another idea would be selectable themes for this server.
And one more would be nice, for each dif part of the site you could have dif movie screenshots blended like that main one.. or could just use dif movie shots AS the dif themes for selectables. ok ok Ill shut up now)

lalalalala, i was kinda bored, so i made an example of how a userpic-upload-script-thingy can be made. Only thing that should be implemented is the SQL part, in which the userpic is linked to a certain profile, but that code should exist already, kinda.
You dont have to use it if you dont want to, i like doing it *sometimes*, and it was a nice exercise ;)
Well here it is:

----------------------------------
This file should be called upload.php, or whatever you want to call it, as long as you change the form action to the same name :o)
---------------------------

<?php

if($file)
{
// filename + extension of file
$filename = $HTTP_POST_FILES[file][name];
$extension = substr($filename, -3);

// Check if extension is a JPG, you might want to add GIF, TIFF, whatever....
if (strtoupper($extension) != "JPG";)
{
echo "You can only upload .jpg files!";
}
else
{
// Upload path
$destination = "Your userpic folder here";
$length = strlen($filename);
$name = substr($filename, 0, $length - 4);
$i = 0;
$tempname = $name;

// Check if file already exists, if it does, it just adds a 1 after the name, this way you wont have to name them
while (file_exists($destination . $tempname . $i . ".jpg";))
{
$i = $i + 1;
}

$name = $name . $i;

copy($file, $destination . $name . ".jpg";);
echo "Image uploaded succesfully!";
}
}
?>
---------------------------
Thats the code basically, this part is just the upload form....

----------------------------------------
<form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload your userpic!">
</form>
-----------------------

Voila!

If i feel like it, ill make a silly whos-online script soon, too.

Perhabs some more css, instead of all those silly <font></font> 's whole the time ;) could help in loading times too, to make a general stylesheet, and might also be handy if at a certain moment you decide to make a themable site.

and the ability to upload our own userpics, which shouldnt be too hard either, and save dj a lot of trouble :P

ah...edit number 3... :) it would be great to have a who's-online script, so we could actually see whos browsing the site atm....

Maybe it's a good idea to add a search option in the forums.
So you can search :
- all the posts a user has done
- search for keywords in topics and posts
(avoid 2 times the same question somewhere)

BTW : Great job with the smileys, DJ !!!!! :cool:

1) Perhaps in out profiles, we can have links to our personal websites. Maybe the link could be sent to the council to be verified its not a dirty one, and then can be posted in our profle :)
2) Maybe a new logo for the Jedi Academy
