If you're going to use Joomla and want to do database queries, look at a component called "Database Query". There is a free version and a professional version with additional features. It allows you to create custom queries on MySql tables. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. I've used it on a number of sites and might be able to assist if needed. |

Just found this thread, watching with interest. What would be cool would be a "cabfinder" feature, similar to what others have suggested. You could check off certain features and the results would be filtered accordingly. See the Phonescoop Phone finder for an example of how it could look. I recognize this is a major hunk of coding, and I have nothing to offer there. But hey, it's an idea. I wonder if Phonescoop runs on off the shelf software? |

Problems I have with the Examples page: 1) A lot of the links are dead. If the cabinet creator submitted the images to Saint's server instead of just supplying links to their pictures, this would have been a lot better since the images would not get lost over the years as the links die. Hopefully this new endeavor will make submitting images (instead of links) mandatory. 2) I must click on every link to see the type of cabinet (if the link is not dead as well). Viewing a quick "main" cabinet picture as a thumbnail would be much better. 3) Having additional pictures of the building of the cabinet is most helpful, especially for first-time builders. Again, adding all the build pictures to the site would be much better than relying on people's personal webpages to be maintained for many years. I think this is what you are recommending take place now .... which I agree.... that would be much better. Good luck with this .... |

This idea sounds great! I would also like to hop on this bandwagon. While I have no experience with joomla or drupal, I do have an extensive amount of experience in MySQL, PHP, Java, and C/C++ (along with custom framework desing) as I use it everyday at work. This would be the ultimate hobby project for me to participate in. |
