Do you think you have the best MAME Cabinet? Then submit it here
<< < (5/6) > >>
ratzz:
I tried something like this on the Project Announcements threads "Projects Index".

Thought it would be GREAT to have a simple index of cabinets with a single picture and a link to the project thread. People could flick through like a catalogue and click to the project they were interested in (as the link would stay current).

Didn't seem anyone (apart from two - thanks guys) were interested, and it rapidly failed.

If I were you, I would put something together yourself - find the cabs you like and post them yourself, I wouldn't bother asking people to post their cabs - it won't happen (at least in the way you hoped it would).

Good luck ...  :cheers:

Crumudgeon,
You are right, the wiki could have thumbs on the index page...for example...just add the image with |70px to keep it small...something like this:???
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Cocktail_cabinets

I would left-justify the image (ie: to the left of the hyperlink), since the Text length varies from project to project and thus the images won't be vertically aligned, and maybe the pic could be a *tad* bigger (90px?)...but other than that your addition is perfect!

If you're cool with these changes I'll volunteer to start adding photos in my free time.  ;D


EDIT: I was too excited, and I took the liberty to make some minor changes, inspired by your addition. I imagined adding a default "no image" pic for the projects without images, so that the column of thumbnails is even on the left-hand side.

Let me know what you think?

I love the pictures in the wiki!

When I first started on my cab, I tried using the text list, and didn't make it through too many.

Looks good to me. I only picked a small pic cause I wanted to see if it affected loading of the page, but it appears even at 90 that won't be a problem.
I like the no image pic, but I wish more wiki entries had pics on the site

FWIW, a two column table was suggested, so I put a sample of what that looks like in the wiki discussion page
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Talk:Cocktail_cabinets
Seems like a good use of space to me, but then it would be hard to keep the list alphabetical

Easily I have the best cabinet. There is no reason to list anymore. I'm available for interviews to discuss this project.
