Graveyard of dead projects

#141 See the site is now up, just the image.

#142

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

Noticed you don't have this fix for IE6. Put it in the head.
EDIT: gets rid of image toolbar on pages.

#143 I found this page on gnu.org: www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html

This part especially cought my attention:

It's GPL-compatible so it might not be good enough. :P

#144 Daily Update

I have had a lot of demand for my attention elsewhere this week and haven't been able to get much coding done. It looks like it will be closer to the end of next week than to the beginning that I will have everything ready. I will keep everyone posted.

#145 Well, here's my cleverly disguised attempt to bump this thread back up the list ;)

Matthew, to limit the abuse of ratings you could do something like TurboSquid does, only allow people who have dld a resource to rate it, or better yet, only people who have dld the resource and registered on the site can rate it.

And I have quite a collection of incomplete texture sets (mostly terrains) to offer up, just have to convert them back to a standard format. The sad part is that I recently disposed of my old backup drive with well over a gig of textures, all from dead projects or just stuff I made and never used.

#146 Ok, I have finally reached what I consider the minimum feature set. There are still a few things I need to do before we go live but I am going to turn some beta testers loose on it today. Assuming I can get all of the bugs worked out that they reveal over the next several days, I should be ready to go live near the end of the week.

Keith,
At the moment I am side-stepping the whole rating issue and just tracking number of downloads but I have built room into the system for ratings....I just don't consider that a required feature to go live =) I think I will likely limit ratings to people with site accounts to help minimize the random spammers but I don't think I will go as far as limit it to only people who have downloaded the resource b/c it would be hard on them to rate it immediately after they download and otherwise I would have to track the id of everyone who downloads every resource (a lot of info for little benefit).

#147 Matthew: Let me know when you will need ressource, I've got some artwork to share.

#148 Live!

Okay, still plenty left to do on the site but I went ahead and turned it on today! So start posting your resources and hopefully we won't have too many bugs! Feel free to post the bugs here or matt@rustycode.com me.

#149 The site looks really good, well done on actually getting this up :)

Possible bugs/improvements: 'FAQ' and 'Links' both take you to the main page. You have video, and input code catagories, but none for audio code.

#150 Hey it's up! woo hoo!

#151 Cant register on Mozilla 1.4.:

Error: createform is not defined
Source File: http://www.digitalboneyard.com/login.php?action=new
Line: 120

#152 Works fine with Firebird 6.1.

#153 William,
FAQ and Links are already on my todo =) I just didnt consider them critical for launch. They'll be completed in the next week or so though. Just added an Audio Code category (gonna streamline added new categories a bit later).

Beffy,
I was actually ponder this very thing on the way to lunch. This is an old Netscape related issue. I *think* I know how to fix it but I need to test first.

Eric,
Thanks! I tried my best to make it as cross-browser compatible but this community is *so* diverse that it can be tough. I'm always glad to hear what browsers work as opposed to which ones don't ;)

Everyone,
Sorry for the low-key "launch". Once I get a few more things done on the site and I am sure it is stable, I will do a much bigger announcement.

#154 What's this... I attempt to register an account and I get /index77.php file not found? :o

#155 Your account has been created, even though you get the Not Found page. I guess that it was a "your account has been created page" or something. Just go back to the main page and you should be logged on, if not try logging on.

#156 I got that too. it still registered.

#157 Whoops! Missed one! Fixed =)

#158 Apologies, Matthew.

I had only browsed the site with Firebird... not tried to register. The error points to this function:

function validate()
	{
		if (createform.pass_login.value != createform.pass_login_conf.value)
		{
			alert("Passwords do not match. Please re-enter them.");
			return false;
		}


		if (createform.user_login.value.length <= 0)
		{
			alert("Must enter a userid.");
			return false;
		}

		if (createform.first_name.value.length <= 0)
		{
			alert("Must enter your first name.");
			return false;
		}

		if (createform.last_name.value.length <= 0)
		{
			alert("Must enter your last name.");
			return false;
		}

		if (createform.email.value.length <= 0)
		{
			alert("Must enter an email address");
			return false;
		}

		var emailFilter=/^.+@.+\..{2,3}$/;
		if (!(emailFilter.test(createform.email.value)))
		{
			alert("Please enter a valid email address.");
			return false;
		}

		var illegalChars= /[\(\)\<\>\,\;\:\\/\"\[\]]/
		if (createform.email.value.match(illegalChars))
		{
			alert("The email address contains illegal characters.");
			return false;
		}

		if (createform.pass_login.value.length < 5)
		{
			alert("Must enter a password at least 5 characters long.");
			return false;
		}

		if (createform.license.checked == false)
		{
			alert("You must agree with the License to become a member.");
			return false;
		}

		return true;
	}

Looks great otherwise, though!

#159 Looks like it just needs a "document.createform" or a "document.forms['createform']" instead of "createform"?
can't seen any other problem...

#160 Okay, changed it to document.creatform.blah

Let me know if it works or not
