Space restrictions??? Examples future.

(1/16) > >>

MYX:
What is the space restrictions per wiki page?
How do graphic elements impact the page? (Photos?)

The reason I ask, is this...
It would be cool if we could write up a wiki page when we submit an example.

This way in the future, if I change my ISP or move or whatever, the example still exists.

If space is an issue then the wiki definatly not the place for this.

saint:
There aren't any *server* space restrictions to speak of, i.e. there's plenty of disk space. No idea on per page space. I'll poke around.

sirwoogie:
This goes to a fundamental evaluation of the example site. I've always wanted to rip into it and fix it up so we don't have stale items, and the interface is more intuitive. As always, I find no time to actually do it. :)

Does anybody want to take a shot at it? It's written in PHP, and should stay that way. I'm sure we can work to get some of the details of the system worked out.

I don't know if the wiki is really the right place, but I'm open to suggestion. At the very least, we should have a convention for example pages (naming, template, etc.). The sooner we do that, the more viable the example system will be.

As for space enforcements, there are none. Just keep it sane.

Space Fractal:
There is a 32kb text "limit" per page, because some browsers may have problems with edit.

But you just got a warning about it, nothing other. But it good to hold under the limit, so it can been used by all browsers.

So for pictures or graphics there is not an issue per page?
So we could have like 3 - 320 x 240 jpgs and perhaps 1 - 640 x 100 for a marquee header.
If folks are creative to put together a cab, then they probably can format a few pix per spec. 320 x 240 @ 72 dpi (for space respect. Or put a maximum size and somehow the page will format it to proper size. Then the viewer can click on a picture for a better look. It would seem smart to limit the number of pix per entry, or at least the total file sizes. Now just getting finished saying that, I think gosh it wuld be cool if we could have an area for video of if their cab blinks or moves or something, they can submit a video. Again they would have to get it into a format decided ahead of time. Quicktime (mpeg 4) seems to be about the best quality with the lowest bandwidth at this point. but I do not know if everyone can make that. But then again, if they coughed up 1500-2500 to make a cab then they can afford $30 for quicktime pro which will convert to any flavor they like.

Ok just some thoughts...

It would be great if the page looked like a flyer. so the marquee would be at the top and then text on the left and some pictures on the right.

The input

It would be nice if it was set up in a way that one could choose a bkg color, text color.

Then have a list of pull downs that related to the possibilities. Then a section for other so if someone has really done something out of the box, they could hilight that.
