Tonight I gave a shot at Musecast, was very glad that most of the [tag]css[/tag] was sorted (thanks to Kev), there was going to be the odd tweaks but not that many so its all good. It took a bit of time to understand how Kev coded the site, it seems like he used a template structure from dreamweaver just so popey can easily copy it.
Managed to shove most of the reuseable stuff into functions that echo them whenever they’re needed, this will save alot of space as well as time managing the structure of it all. Once that was sorted I managed to start working on the podcasting managemenet side. Alot of [tag]coding[/tag] was involved, additional [tag]css[/tag] such as tables and forms were added and tweaked so that it matched the site. Once the forms were sorted I got a database and a podcast table up and running. I made forms that inserted podcasts into the podcast table which would be used for the front page as well as generating the rss feeds.
Only managed to do the adding side of things, will look into further detail of other fields and making sure that they can all be tweaked. Hopefully i dont need to do any more [tag]css[/tag]ing. So yeah. Quite a fun evening.
Also managed to get an idea of what the database would be like as a whole, I’ll upload it next time when I’ve found a suitable diagram drawer and all.
