Stuff wot I done
Ok, I figure the rest of the world needs to know about my extreme cleverness, so here’s some of the stuff what I did:
http://www.mygreenpeacemanchester.org.uk
- a website for the manchester greenpeace group - seriously underused! It was set up on a base of PHPNuke, modified to add different access levels, which gave access to more “sensitive” content. Access levels also allowed for greater permission in posting events on the calendar, and on posting news. Members with sufficient access were able to send out contact messages using the members preferred method of contact, email, sms, phone or printed letter (yes, we had some that preferred the letter). Cron was used to generate reminders for upcoming events, if members had registered their interest. This also allowed event organisers to keep track of who was going to turn up. Would’ve been great had I done it two years later!
This was adapted from the basic PHPNuke, with some internal modifications to get around some of the inherent security flaws involving SQL inject, DDOS attacks and the like. Consequently, it was barely used, but is stupidly stable!!
http://controlpanel.hippycentral.org/searchStats.php
- visitor stats from the various “sensors” I’ve planted in Second Life to track Greenpeace visitors. Each of these “scripted objects” in SL sends the info you can see listed to my webserver. The whole thing is run from a single file, with a mysql database in the background. Try a drop down menu, and get a filtered view.
