UPDATE

1. Put in Bezman's Previous and Next grafix. They have rollover effects too!

Response to The Official Ng Bbs Calender Thread 2007-01-11 16:14:06


If anyone knows how to make the rollovers appear faster (like NG does in their header) please fill me in...I'm using javascript inside the img tag to swap out the src value, but it's really slow.

Cheers, BomToons!

A few niggles.

- I notice that some boxes seem to have all the text right-aligned, others left-aligned. Can't work out why. Seems slightly messy.

- Add Event/about/go!/go, go, go buttons are kinda boring. I can't be arsed making more buttons for a while. If anyone else feels like it, they should.

- I'd still like the month/previous/next buttons duplicated at the bottom, just above the 'add event' bit. Mainly to save a second each time I scan a month and move to the next. If others disagree, that's fine.

- would being able to see the entire year be feasible?

All brilliant.

The rollOver effects are really impressive and seem fine to me. At first the header was all messed up, until I thought to clear my cache.

Coding seems amazingly impressive to me.

Last point - if we do want to have the possibility of having a retro calendar, we'd better take all the images sometime soonish. (As opposed to hotlinking.)

Someone good at art want to step up on this one?

Done, but probably not how you were expecting.

Here's a special hack, just for you:

Ok, I'm open to whatever, just need someone to design the look...you're talking about the viewdetails.php page right?

Perhaps, the person who submitted the event could have the ability to submit a picture characterising the event?

I really don't want to open up that can of worms...not just content-wise, but size and uniformity also (ie: jacking up our layout, or squashing submitted pics to fit=bad)...plus I haven't learned how to upload pics yet :P

P.S.

Happy B-day TODAY TRUNKS!

Brilliant search! Amazing functionality!

I reckon having a 'select all flags' and 'select all icons' may be useful though.

Also, when there's multiple events in one month, it seems a bit random how it's ordered. Should maybe be in chronological order? (as opposed to like below when I searched for b-days)

January (10)
19 - Luis's Birthday! Details
6 - Joan of Arc B. 1412 Details
18 - phyconinjas Birthday Details
21 - Ertyguy's Birthday Details
27 - DFox's Birthday! Details
12 - Trunk's Birthday!! Details
16 - Newsdee's birthday! Details
25 - 1627 - Robert Boyle (d. 1691) Details
2 - Cherries birthday! Details
1 - Fion's Birthday Details:

Yay for links at bottom! Boo for lack of prettiness and small 'hitboxes'. Triple Yay for my own variable and annual look!

For 'view details', maybe a pic of pico bending over with a magnifying glass in Jose's style, if anyone felt up to doing something like that?

No thanks, I will not say such things on a silly teen ager forum. Honestly, I think it's a bit sad you need people on the net to wish you a happy birthday, real life is out there for a reason. Why not add e-cakes and e-cards?

Soon we'll be able to just plug a cord into our heads and forget reality all together.

but seriously, its true, I saw it in the matrix

And on a serious note, don't be a downer toast, its not like everyone is tearing their heads off to get a happy birthday from people on the internet, its just for fun...

It's ordered by when it was submitted...all the more reason to submit early!
....
Ok, I'll probably have it order chronologically...but then there's not as much of a reward for being 1st....oh well...

BomToons: You got my 90-something flags, right?

Yes....just ruminating on the best way to integrate them....especially on the search page where looking though such a huge list could be tedious.

Make it 450x75.

Be creative, remember it should be NG themed and be something that can show for any type of event.

UPDATE

1. By your powers combined....
New month,year text using the "official NG" font Luis garnered for us.

How does it work you ask?

PHP passes variables with the correct month and year into an swf file which has the full font embedded in a dynamic text box.

Holy crap, the official calendar of the flash forum now uses flash!!

I was just instructing you to design an outline too (in addition to the header art)...something that can contain the info.

Ah.

My idea was to have it sort of like the NG sunbeams and have the words, 'event details' in the Newgrounds font. But I need the font from Luis if I want to finish it.

I dont like how much space is needed for the art, i think you could just make a quick and dirty thumbnailish size and have people conform. Otherwise you're opening up a whole can of worms and people will do ugly shit.

Was bored and made this mock to better express myself.

More brainstorming. I dont think we need that header up there. Its so deep into the calendar that if you dont know its newgrounds by now you should be taken off of life support. Maybe just borrow motifs like that cityscape.. maybe make it seasonal looking.. anyway like i said this is how i brainstorm.. i simply am posting it here because i felt lonely.

You are awesome. I shouldn't over-inflate your ego though...

Thoughts: getting everyone to submit a pic along with every event seems a bit overkill. And if it's up to whoever's writing about their b-day to make a pic for it, we're gonna get some really ugly ones.

Those are really nice mockups, but I think bezman is right that we don't want to let people submit personalized pics for their events...I was thinking more some sort of sub-header that would ALWAYS show on the event details page...maybe a set of sub-headers that rotate randomly just saying "You're now looking at an event's details." Just so that one page, the "viewdetails.php" page isn't so boring.
