Updates will be slower from here on out now that the majority of the site revision is done. I added an image gallery for the admin page as well as an image upload program. I may add more options depending on the need. An image has also been added to the First Anniversary page of pastor Wiers.
The search feature is up and running and replaces the link to OPC. The search feature works and works pretty well. I have no plans to improve it further. All it does is efficiently search the site, lists the results that it finds as well as a link to the source content. The search program is most likely the last of the larger updates. More »
I did very little today. I corrected the margins on the main page as well as the rest of the site.
I did a little more work on the site design today. I changed the banner image and will probably change it again or at least tweak it a little. The layout was updated with several little changes here and there to clean up the look. I am beginning to like how it looks, but I have a few more things in the layout that I want to change yet like.
Here’s a breakdown of the things that need to be done yet to the site:
This post will be updated throughout the day.
The CSS has been updated, there is a new page called catechism quiz, which cycles through the questions and answers of the Westminster larger catechism. The daily Bible quote pages now correctly display the daily Bible quote. Pages can better handle javascript now. The text formatting program has been updated. More admin pages have been updated to make editing easier. I decided to remove the maps page. It was a little too redundant. Instead I posted a link to the google map for Sovereign Grace. The links page has been fixed so that adding new links doesn’t break the site. The admin links page has had the layout updated as well. Mostly to make the text visible.
I got a little more work done on the layout today, but it will be some time before I am satisfied with it. At least it is a bit more organized now. I really want to get a new image to replace the current banner. That might not happen till next week though.
The front page archives needs to be fixed. A search feature could be added, but is not all that needed yet. I’ll probably still install one soon though. I hope to get some more work on the layout today. I accidentally deleted all of the archives. For the most part they have been restored. The maps page is wrong though and should be updated. The anti spam plugin for this blog needs to be installed.
Too sleepy. I’ll see if I can get some more layout work done tomorrow.
Tonight I cleaned up the code in the admin page, fixed the bug where quotes were not being displayed in certain pages, updated the mysql send page, fixed a bug where articles were not able to be updated, added a link for this blog in the admin page, uploaded another sermon, added a link on the left side for the viewing all of the articles (Many more links will be added here very soon), the link for the database was fixed, and one or two other very minor things.
Next up is to fix the font color on the edit pages and work on the layout some more of the main page. I want to add a search feature to the site, an email feature, and a new program that I have been working on: a catechism quiz program. The quote page does not have a daily Bible quote listed on the right side of the page. I hope to do a lot of these things tomorrow with an emphasis on site layout.
I should have been a little more detailed about a few of the updates I did yesterday. The editor program was updated from 0.3 to 1.3. The config page does not have a version number, but was completely rewritten.
I started up a WordPress blog so that I and others, but mostly me, can keep track of what needs to be done with qcsgopc and what has been done.
To start: several files have been renamed. A great deal of the framework for the site has been updated. There are a few lesser things that need to be worked on yet. The most important structural updates have been finished already. The colors have been brightened up and the font size has been enlarged slightly. The “config” page and “editor” pages are much more advanced. There is a link now for articles on the left side of the page. The google map has been removed from the main page. Many other minor things not worth mentioning.
For the site layout I need to finish rearranging and compartmentalizing the data on the main page. I need to create many different dummy pages and dummy data that will be editable. I need to gather and add pictures to the site. The banner needs to be changed.
More later,
Joe
