CD-Media Progress
CD-Media? What's CD-Media?
I have this discussion via PM or IM all the time: random user: hey, how do i search the white papers? me: you can't yet. i have to rewrite it to do so. random user: hey, how do i search for an image? me: you can't yet. i have to rewrite the image gallery to do so. So now, imagine this: the 'Picture Galleries' and the 'White Papers' link up top move around, both at opposite ends of your browser window. Facing each other, they both take off at 47 pixels per second. Nobody chickens out -- ka-boom. Introducing: CD-Media. Photo Gallery. Searchable. Taggable. Noteable. Favorites. Discussion on the image detail and in the 'Extra Discussion' thread. A 'Who Am I' management screen -- giving you the ability to change your picture whenever you want, etc. White Papers. Searchable. Taggable. Favorites. Discussion on the white paper detail and in the 'Extra Discussion' thread. Multiple Attachments per white paper. You can watch my custom status for a very rough and ambiguous status. What will it look like? Click below for a sneak preview, which may or may not totally change. It's a picture of the 'everything' tags page. More popular tags are larger than less popular tags, etc. This screenshot should give you a tiny idea of some of the features and how they're broken apart. ![]() When can you use it? I'm aiming for the end of July, but probably more realistically in August. Will the old gallery & white papers still work? No, all data will be migrated to the new system. The old links will work, but redirect to the image/paper in the new system. What about all the old images .. they aren't tagged. How will they get tagged? I know you guys are bored in the off-season .. now you won't be. ![]() What's this 'tag' thing you keep mentioning? Flickr, technorati, and a bunch of other new(ish) sites are all using tags. Basically its one or more keywords (or small phrases) that classfiy something. For Flickr, images; for technorati, links. So, there -- I am doing stuff, see? ![]() *edit* you can watch things happen to CD-Media now. Last edited by Brandon Martus : 21-06-2005 at 01:12. |

![]() Speaking of GMail, we'll also be using Ajax like Google uses on GMail, Google Maps. Flickr uses it. It's the new thing. I just tested out something quick, and was successful. This is going to really cool. ![]() |

Re: CD-Media Progress
It would be cool if it's possible to see a live version throughout its development.

Tonight, I've been working with Ajax for the first time. I'm using it to show the White Papers in the lists (it will eventually do the pagination & sorting without a page reload). The CSS is pretty messed up, so .. enjoy. ![]() http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/ |

Re: CD-Media Progress
So.. will the tags work harmoniously with the custom captions for each image?
Like.. if I submit a pic with the word tetra in it, can I then search for pictures with the word tetra in the captions? |

Re: CD-Media Progress
You'll be able to search the titles and descriptions in addition to just browsing via tags. You'd have to tag the picture with 'tetra' for it to show on the 'tetra' tag page.
The cool thing about tags: On a white paper about transmissions, one of the tags it has is 'transmission'. We could then provide a link to possible related pictures (like, those tagged with 'transmission'). Or CD-Swap items tagged with 'transmission' (what? tags on CD-Swap?). Or Spotlight items tagged with 'transmission' (what? tags in the spotlight system?). |

Since I've opened up the page for you all to look at, my custom status may just indicate which part I'm working on (or just worked on) so you can see what's changed. |

Re: CD-Media Progress
This is way cool. We all appreciate what you're doing.
Does this mean I don't have to change my screen name to Random User?? |
