If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I personally am not in favour of photo ratings and messages. This is not a dating site.
Though if everyone wants this, I'll just don't add my picture.

the rating is dependent on whats being rated.
From
Bizarre ---- to ---- funny
not supposed to be
Ugly ----- to ---- Stunning
Was just a joke.

Adding a field also requires adding that field to any and all pieces of code that create or modify records in the user table. That's why the custom rank hack is so needlessly complicated.
However, the tables could be crosslinked—have a single-field table with the field "board_id" in it. Name the files according to "board_id" and stick them together in a directory. Then query the forum tables for any additional information required.
Normalisation? Cross-referencing? Are you completely mad?
Surely these are functions fit only for the TransFans site yet to come.
Integrating the photos with the profile page. Nice.
Any chance of adding sigs there, while you're at it?

If someone feels like looking up the profile numbers to go with each name, I don't mind doing the db work. That'll take most of the time.
In fact, I can think of a way of doing this without any database stuff required at all... if we have a directory with the pics in (where the filenames are the profile numbers) we can list the contents of that directory to php and autogenerate that way...
Code: Select all
if(!function_exists('scandir'))
{
function scandir($directory, $sorting_order=0)
{
// php.net/scandir (PHP5)
if(!is_dir($directory)) return FALSE;
$files = array();
$fh = opendir($directory);
while (FALSE !== ($filename = readdir($fh)))
{
$files[] = $filename;
}
closedir($fh);
if($sorting_order==1) rsort($files);
else sort($files);
return $files;
}
}
$files = scandir($path,1);
foreach ($files as $log) {
// display stuff here
}
So, does anyone feel like looking up board IDs for all of the people currently on the photo page?

(Birthdays and locations can be pulled out of the board if we want them, but we'll have to find some place to store real names if people want them. They could possibly go in the filenames: eg, "34(James Brown).jpg".)
I think this is 'em all...

I was gonna update but I like it this way. For all you (well, the newer ones) guys know I could actually be a fifty year old male truck driver named Bubba with a really long extension cord.
Come the summer though, my lovely anonymity will most likely be shot as I'm planning on trying to make a US get-together of TFA members.

Isn't Blaster86 now Dark Link, AKA Sociopathic Autobot? Do I have my wires crossed? Does it matter anyway? Should I just leave?

Yeah, whoever does it will need to be passingly familiar with the board accounts as they stand... eg, my primary account's changed, as have a few others...

Before someone starts rightclicking and saving images, or scourging his internet temp files directory, just say the word and I'll send over the entire dir.
I don't mind renaming the files, again, just let me know what's needed.
