Title: My project database
Post by: Keoni29 on September 29, 2014, 03:57:49 pm: I am working on a project database. It will have information about most of my hardware and software projects. Some projects will have their own project webpage.

Post by: Keoni29 on September 30, 2014, 01:43:34 am: Every project will have an entry in the database. An entry consists of a name, description, date and path. The path points to the project page. Those project pages are similar to sourceforge's project web. The directory should contain an index.php, thumb.png and changelog.txt. The last modified date is based on the modified date of the changelog file.

I might add tags and categories as well. Right now there is no point in doing that since there is only one entry.

I want to add about 4 to 5 projects to the database every week. Right now the process of adding a project to the list is time consuming. I might make a better system for adding project entries this weekend.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 30, 2014, 02:38:53 pm: Can you edit start dates manually for older projects? Else if Herocore shows it was started on Sept 30th 2014 it will give false hopes to people <_<

Post by: Keoni29 on September 30, 2014, 02:41:06 pm: Yeah I can. I have not pinpointed the exact project start dates for my older projects yet though. Once I find them I will update them in the database.

Post by: Keoni29 on October 01, 2014, 04:18:39 am: Added quite a few more projects to the database. There are 12 projects in the database in total now. I have not made project pages for all of them, but a good portion have thumbnails already.

Edit: Added visicom project to the database including detailed information about the device.
