K-Team 1 : Website

[Marz]

Here you go guys.. I split everyone up according to how I've seen you guys work at things and how well you do things...

Team 1 - Producing a Kirupa Team Website
---------------------------------------------------------
Objective : To create a site out of PHP, DHTML, HTML, CSS, FLASH.. etc.. etc.. that displays how the Kirupa Team works and what projects we will be wokring on. It needs to be functional and it needs to be set up with a login / password feature to allow the members of the k-team to access a certain "members only" area to allow us to stay close with each other in communication and a place to store files to download to keep in synch with one another.

No Extras for this team.

Have fun and work together.. If you have any questions.. COntact me or Iylas to discuss over things. I will be getting you guys a domain name and setting up a uploadinf service so you guys can just login and then upload the html files you'll use to the site.

[thediablo]

NICE!

pm me with my things to do, we need a chat room or somehting so we can put things together and coordinate with each other, so no one can make the same stuff...

[Marz]

Most of the people on the list has AIM... For everyone esle.. There will be the actual members background... Which is what I'm working on...

A hidden site that allows members to login so that the projects and files can be thrown around... :)

As soon as I find a site to get a domain name off of.. And send out the check and get it.. I'll set up the actual space you guys will use to do the site on :)

[c!rYx]

I want to be in this team ;p it's so cool :rambo:

[Marz]

:q: :q: :q: :q:

No switching teams.. Unless you know you can't do anythign for the team you are currently on... In that case.. I can make exceptions.. But those exceptions come by pm to me or iylas please.

[lava]

wow... so you guys are actually going through with this huh...
Are you just forming a group, or are going for a company?

[telekinesis]

Who gets all the money, can i apply for treasurer? :P

[mdipi]

sounds good.

[Alex]

i think i have an idea on how you all can get money off of this thing. i think there might be a way to set up pay pall so once some one buys something it gets split evenly through out everyone that has worked on the project. and i get 5% for my idea.:bad: =)

[_2t0_Evenflow]

Good luck to you all. Let me know if there is anything I can do for the site.

[mdipi]

that would be cool...lol


ok we all need to get on AIM or ICQ to talk....like what types of graphics and such...

[thoriphes]

just let me know when to start.

[mdipi]

mark...get set...GO!

lol j/k

but the graphics need to be cordinated...but so does the code...and is this a flash site?

[_2t0_Evenflow]

I have a question.. How does one get on one of these teams? Not that I want to be now. I am not even close to obtaining the skills of some of the peoples on these teams, but I plan to be here for a while.. And when I am good enough I would like to be on one of these teams..

[Jubba]

you just get added to the project. the proposal thread was somewhere in the random forum...

http://www.kirupaforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14669

that thread...

and Mike, turn off that stupid hidden thing. I want to be able to see when you are on the forum. Its in the user CP under edit options...

[mdipi]

lol i'm not on hidden jubba, i was playin CS so i was opening and closing the window like every 5 mins.

[Guig0]

Where did he go? he isn´t in this group and neither in the other :-\

Why?

[mdipi]

same with playa, its cause they orginized it...

[Guig0]

i knew that :bad:














not :(
:trout:

[mdipi]

lol
=)

[novatake]

ok could we try and get summet sorted how about every1 edits this thread and adds there aim or msn or wotever address apparently most people have aim so that wud be easiest

Novatake
my aim is "notnowtom"
msn"tom_colmer@hotmail.com"

if every1 adds to one thread it will save the post being so messy
-Tom

[novatake]

we could do with a chat room or something we cud use mine its located here
http://www.geocities.com/typhoonextensions/chat.html

nobody is ever in there so it shud be ok but be original with names coz somebody may already have them so u need a password.

[Jubba]

Dipi: I wasn't talking to you. :) I was talking to EvenFlow. His name is Mike too. He's my nephew...

[novatake]

http://members.aol.com/notnowtom/kteam1/chat.htm


theres a Kteam1 chat room for every1 to use like I sed b4 use original names when u log in unless u already have a spinchat account unless any1 has a better chat room use this

-Tom

[thediablo]

lets all download mIRC or something like that, and open a channel in a server, that would be better than AIM or MSN i think.

we all can be in the same channel always, and we can put topics in the channels for updates.. or when someone is Offline and needs a reminder of something live a topic msg... the channel can be +k (key needed) or something so only kteam mem. can join.

What you think?

since is saturday i dont work on weekends so... see you guys monday :)

[ahmed]

i was thinking about an mIRC chatroom too...

[novatake]

well we can either use that chat room i made or every1 get mirc i think i made a room on mirc but as i dont know how to use it i aint got a clue where it is. its just on my channels folder so someone who knows wot there doin better take a look

[novatake]

ok well someone make a mirc room and sum directions on how to get to the damn thing for folks like me. and well be sorted playmarz has nearly done his background hidden site for every1 to share ideas aswell which will be good once its done

[Makaveli]

lmfao.....does anyone besides me think this is hillarious as well??

first of all....which server are you using? is it dalnet? if so, after connecting, then just type in "/j #channame" without quotations to join your channel .....so if ur chan is #kirupa then you would type /j kirupa

oh.......you must know how to connect to the server.....please tell me you do =)

[Makaveli]

ok here is an easier way to join, you can set this as a desktop shortcut or just place in adress by in ur browser

IT REQUIRES YOU HAVE MIRC ALREADY SETUP

irc://irc.enterthegame.com/kirupa

it connects to server enterthegame and channel kirupa

you guys can choose which server to connect to in the middle section........pick a server, i picked enterthegame as an example

[novatake]

Ok so I have no idea wot im doing my irc is set up give me a server address to go into please ive used it once but my sister showed me how to use it i never chat really

-Tom

[novatake]

ok i got it now thanks im on that irc://irc.enterthegame.com/kirupa

which is cool

[novatake]

so can we all connect to that irc://irc.enterthegame.com/kirupa

it will make sure there are no screw ups with people who dont know how to use it like me lol

[Kitiara]

Cool... Sorry I haven't replied to this thread sooner, but I don't get online much when I'm not at work. :)

The other snag is that because of the firewall here, MSN and AIM is off limits, so I'm going to have to post via forum threads or PMs. Hope this isn't too irritating for you all. :smirk:

OK, so Marz has laid out the basic plan, does anyone on the team have any ideas on how this could look? Please post them below. :)

[novatake]

well this is a pretty basic idea of how i reckon we shud make this thing most prob wont agree so u know dont be horrible to me :)

anyway Are we makin it full flash if so we need a splash with links to flash player etc so if theres any1 good at 3d studiomax and photoshop etc that wud be a cool job

it could be doing with being clean cut (pretty obvious) but like not having a menu that is like a little dot in the corner and when u mouseover it appears coz people wont find the bloody thing. So if we can maybe a pretty cool navigation system but easy to use if thats possible.

aint thought of a colour scheme ill leave that to sum1 else so thats just a outline of how it shud be i still aint sure bout it but its gotta be easy to navigate so let the ideas roll

-Tom

[thediablo]

i think we should have more html and some php, and a lil flash, maybe the header... so it can load fast and, because the site will have a lots of content right?


maybe 75% html 25%flash... what you think...

but well its just me...

we need to figure out which way to communicate!

so are we using mirc? dl it at www.mirc.co.uk or something..

connect to the UNDERNET servers, its one of the best servers...
so we can register the channel and everything..

the channel could be #kirupa

[novatake]

yeh HTML sounds cool i know very very little php so ill leave that to u guys.
about mirc there is one set up at irc://irc.enterthegame.com/kirupa

mak set that up so we cud use that i spose

-Tom

[thediablo]

i mean php also, in the Server-Side...

[novatake]

yeh i know i gotta say html will be cool coz sum people who aint got flash just think balls to downloadin it and go elsewhere

-Tom

[Kitiara]

I agree with thediablo here. Whilst we want to showcase our Flash work, we want as many people to see it as possible, and (more to the point) be able to see it as possible. So I'd say go along the lines of the kirupa website, with mostly HTML, but a few little Flash wizzy things here and there. That way everyone can see things nice and quickly.

[novatake]

ok so we want:-

1. a header maybe flash
2. sum buttons not flash? or at least sum way to navigate
3. some kind of content
4. maybe background images although cud get messy
5. some nifty stuff but that can wait
wot else kit

[mdipi]

yeah, but i gotta question. how do i connect with irc?

[ahmed]

okay.. uh... how about a 'team-members profiles' kind of section..?

oh.. and yeah.. how do we connect to mirc :beam:

[BullDog_Flash]

I missed out on this forum what do i have to do stuff like that...


Oh no im confused fill me in here.

Or il have to read all the posts.

[Kitiara]

OK, I'd say that out of Novatakes' list, the first thing we need to figure out is the content. We can work the design around that later.

I've worked out a couple of sections / menu items we'll need:

Home <i>(obvious) </i>
Projects & Requests <i>(what we're working on at the moment</i>
Archive <i>(our past projects)</i>
Open Source? <i>(bits and bobs we've made for general usage)</i>
About Us / Contact Us <i>(who we are and how to get hold of us)</i>
Links <i>(go to Kirupa.com)</i>

Names etc of these items are naturally subject to change. If anyone feels I've missed anything out, please add it or remove it if that's the case.

The About Us section, it would be nice if we could have a profile about each of us, as Ahmed suggested. How about a brief bio:

Name
Age
Location
Job
What He/She Says

which the person in question fills in, then a final entry

What They Say

Which is filled in by other KTeam members. There would also be a picture of them, maybe a small example of their work and an email address.

The Archive would contain all the past projects that have been worked on, while the Projects & Requests area would hold all the current things, plus show people how to make a request to the KTeam.

That's all my battered brain can come up with right now. :)

[thediablo]

i think thats all we need for now kit. but im thinking going for portfolio not archive... portfolio if we are heading the corporate way... or archive if we are staying at a group of ppl working together for fun :D :D:D (maybe archive)

and for the mIRC installation thing... and how to use it

http://www.mirc.com/install.html

please go and read that..

and when you connect to a server try the UNDERNET servers. im not sure about dalnet or other... undernet is the good one...
once you on the server join #kirupa

/join #kirupa

[Kitiara]

Portfolio sounds good to me. :)

I'd like the whole thing to look slick and professional, but still have an element of humour in the written content.

(I'm debating whether or not to slip some kind of reference to trout in there. Perhaps an Easter Egg in all out projects - a trout slapping game!)

[thediablo]

ok some mini-mini slap trout game in a corner of the site :P
pixel made.

[novatake]

haha madness u guys crack me up we cud get summat like spank anna which uses a trout but it cud be a little un tasteful lol

nice to see uve set up a room diablo im in there so talk to me *****

[ahmed]

sounds pretty good to me :)
so when are we gonna get things going? :q:

[novatake]

amhed join a undernet server on mirc and join #kirupa

[Kitiara]

Well, shall we all start off by writing our own bio? We can put them together and make the section detailing all about us. I'll post a request up on the KTeam site that Marz set up.

All got your passwords and stuff yet? :)

[novatake]

yeh marz gave me mine bout 4 days ago coz im special i am... really.....ahh who am i kiddin

-Tom

[Marz]

You're not special... You are just a tool :-p

*lol*... Allright everything looks pretty good guys.. I'm still waiting on the domain name to clear through right now.. As soon as I get that I'll have the actual sit for you guys to work off of.

Later on.. :)

[thediablo]
