Thanks for testing and the great comments/ideas. @WebbedIT Did you find any difficulties in using postgresql with cakephp? -I was actually using MySQL and then switched mid project. Had no trouble at all. Switched to postgresql to use constraints. Maybe I didn't have to?
Did you used bake command ? -At the beginning I did. After that I would just copy and modify views/controllers/models. @John 1) When search is not finding anything, don't assume that I would like to add the host, I may have entered the wrong URL, so I would like to stay in search! -Great idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that first. 2) Do not use Please contribute for adding new hosts, use the same term as elsewhere Add host! Contribute sounds more like you are asking for a contribution to keep the site going :) -Another good idea. 3) Don't understand why login requires the use of recaptcha, can you clarify? -No big reason besides extra security against robot login attempts. Or should I not worry about stuff like that? 4) Add markers, so I know which fields are required when rating a host. -Will do. That is a basic I forgot to add. 5) I am running 1024x768 so the host matrix extends outside the display view. Maybe your stars could be smaller? -That was already on my list. Just need to fire up photoshop and do it On Mar 10, 3:27 am, John Andersen <[email protected]> wrote: > Congratulations :) > > Now hereby my comments: > 1) When search is not finding anything, don't assume that I would like > to add the host, I may have entered the wrong URL, so I would like to > stay in search! > 2) Do not use Please contribute for adding new hosts, use the same > term as elsewhere Add host!
