Wouldn't it be better if there were like standard questions then part of their profile was dynamic that they can log into and update. I've just finished something really similar at work and it works really well. It's a walk in the part to set up too.

For example we could have like a artist page where you have like:

• Name

• Age

• DJing

• Style

• (and photo)

then you then click on a more info link or the pic that takes you to their actual profile page where it's more in depth. I feel that whackin a mass of text is bad practice because it can put people off. However if done with standard questions it is broken down and easier to read. 

a sample of the questions that have been used for the club site i've been working on are as follows.

• NAME:

• AGE:

• DJ'ing:

• Favourite DJ's:

• Favourite Label:

• What do you play:

• Top 3 all time tunes:

• Best moment DJ'ing:

• Worst moment DJ'ing:

• Up and coming tunes: (this will be dynamic)

• Clubs played: (this will be dynamic)

• TOP 10 (this will be dynamic)

• REVIEW:

• RATING: (can have a voting system by the users)

The dynamic side will mean that they the DJ can log on to their profile and update their up and coming tunes, the clubs they have played at and their top 10 tunes.

We could even do it by section of how they play, like funky, trance, hard etc etc as we get more dj's. you could even do searches which is a work in the park settin up.

Just a few ideas anyway.

gute Laune

 

what's the deal with spinback, etc? how many DJs they have on their books, and could we get all of them to fill in a profile?

 

i can never seem to get on their web site, www.spinbackuk.dj, isn't it?

I do believe that is the address.

 

I spoke to sarah last night and she prefers the idea of presenting the DJ's like i said. Already done it here so i could just copy and paste the code so it would be done really quickly.

yep agreed. it was always the intention to turn the DJ section into a proper database-driven / dynamic section - as with the club & events listing stuff i still need to do.

 

scream - what have you written this stuff you've done in - i'm keen to adobt language standards and at the moment have settled on php, mysql, html and some javascript

 

cheers for all your info / help ! Sorry i dont get a chance to check too many posts these days but its sooo busy at work.

 

it's written in php mate with mysql on the backend. php+mysql fuckin rule!! lol.

 

the site is up and running now at

 

http://www.clubinfluence.com

 

the code is really easy. gonna mod it to have proper error checkin in it.

in that case nice one mate ! I'm using php/mysql as the standard from now on - it IS the standard in my book.

 

if i can have a look at the code mate that would be cool - i should be able to integrate using the the ubb user authentication

aye implementing it into the forum db would be really simple.

 

what i'll do once i've finished the admin section i'll try and put the error checking in it then send it to you mate. Hopefully will have the admin section finished tomorrow if i work like trojan at work.
