Announcing the first preview of Area51..

[eluser]JustJonno[/eluser]
Announcing the first ever preview of the CI project "Area51", a video sharing software solution for the CodeIgniter framework.

Done:
So far we've managed to mockup the majority of the pages to get a feel of the site, plus we're working on the UserGrouping we will use as user levels. We're running a seperate user database from the site so that you can use the same user info for multiple sites in your social network, one login - one user database - multiple sites.

Todo:
Unfortunately, there's still alot to do on the backend. The encoders are working on a cron call linking to the database, and they encode in both low and high bandwidth formats, but at the moment there is no link between them and CI.
Although the /watch/ pages do show you various different trailers, its still only using static links direct to the flash from the existing site.

Although we are a long way off giving out a working version to anyone, we just wanted everyone to see what we were upto and poss give us any comments on style, placements etc.. as any developer will tell you, a fresh set of eyes often points out the glaringly obvious that you miss..

Current Dev Site: http://ci.trailergoblin.com
