Big Rogues Gallery Update!

Does your host have mysql and php? I could slap a small php script to
make the site dynamic in a couple of hours if you could use it..

I run the system that Jay uses, and yes, there's mysql and php. If Jay
is OK with making it dynamic, I'm OK too.

Jay?

Um, well, I don't know.

Without warning, we've just crossed some mysterious, often invisible line
between people like me, who are able to maintain and operate a website, and
people like you, who *really* understand what's going on INSIDE the
website... I suddenly feel cold, and lost, and...ignorant.

What, exactly, does it mean to "make the site dynamic"?

It means to be able to have all your pics and info in a data format and
the viewing pages/viewer can be changed to view the data in different
ways w/o having to physically change or rearrange your data.

WHat I meant was have script that, based on info from
files or a database, showed the pictures and indexes.

Instead of redoing the .html page, you just make a new directory
and upload the pictures and the text. The script should pick it
up automatically...

That was you could have several ways to show the same data, for
example...

Thanks, Eduardo.

Although I understand the concept, I have no idea what it would take from my
end to make that work.

Sounds like a few hours (at least) with the books...?

check this:

http://www.nn.cl/aviation/alexisparkinn.com/rogue's_gallery.php

its a small script that looks in a 'rdata' directory for directories with
pictures. each directory has a data.txt file withthe text and picture names.

all you need to do it mantain the directories.

this in an example data.txt file:

Added 11/28/03
Mike Adams -- 1967 Cessna Skylane 182K -- N2533R
Mike is based at Deer Valley Airport (DVT) in Phoenix, AZ, and by his own words has been a long-time "lurker" -- and occasional poster -- on the aviation newsgroups. He and his son, Steve, flew into their first Oshkosh in 2003, and enjoyed the Newsgroup Party in the North 40!

(I still need to come out with a decent index and with search, but thats
easy to program once you figure out how you want to display it)

Hi Eduardo,

Would you be interested in doing it slightly differently, and keeping
the text in separate files with the same name as the photo? You could
also use the photo filename as a title. That might make it easier to
maintain if you wanted to move photos to different directories etc.

I have a program that makes it easy to organise photos that way (but
haven't done anything to generate web pages from it), and I would be
happy to donate a copy to Jay if he would like to use it.

See http://www.picnam.com to get an idea of what it does.

Regards

Andrew Rowley
