Matrix Update
Submitted by admin on Thu, 08/14/2008 - 18:25.
I'm learning a lot about the system as I add features to the Matrix. Nothing is finished yet, of course, but you'll start to notice some additional features as you browse through the covers....
- Registered members can edit magazine entries. This allows us to all contribute to the project. If you know something about a particular magazine, including which models are in it, or photographers; or if the volume, number, or date are incorrect, you can edit the existing page. You can also replace the magazine image if you have a better-quality one. (The system will automatically reduce the width to 490 pixels if it's larger, so don't replace a magazine cover image just because you have a bigger one; replace it if you have a better one.)
- You can navigate the magazines better. This isn't finished yet, but check out this Adam (Knight Publications) issue. At the top of the page, you'll see a link back to the Knight Publications list as well as links to the previous and next magazines in the list. This was harder to set up than I thought, but I got it! (Yay, me!)
More to come. And if you'd like to contribute a magazine to two, I wouldn't complain. :)

Editing the Matrix
You sure made adding/modifying information in the Matrix very easy and simple! I'll see what I can add. I'd only be concerned about bogus or spam type info. You might want to think about an approval check before automatic posting. The GCD has had problems with modified covers being uploaded.

Thanks, Cyber Sleuth. You
Thanks, Cyber Sleuth. You guys at GCD have done all this before, so your input is greatly valued.
I'm not anxious to require moderation on submissions, but I will if it is abused.
As it stands now, I have the real email of anyone who joins, and I know if they modify a page, so here's hoping I won't have to lock it down.
