Last day of classes!

Today is our final and we've been studying as a group to get ready. Overall, I feel our project was a success. Our site has been live for general registration for about 2 weeks now and so far we've had 64 people sign up. Looking at our analytics page, we've had hits from all over the world. After the U.S., the UK has the most hits followed by Australia. The majority of our users are in the U.S. with New Mexico having the most users followed by Massachusetts. We have one user in Australia. A user in Indiana has created a mix cd and left it somewhere for people to find. We've also had a lot of interest in using the site to promote local bands and it's something we might definitely look into implementing in the future.

found mixcd 38 years ago

i think there was a bug in the searchid module. i think when an anonymous user searched, it would mark the cd as found but not added to the found table so when it gets the time, it's not found and set to default time. i think i fixed it with the latest commit. now i check if the user is id 0 (anonymous) and dont change the status as found unless a registered user enters the id.

various bug fixes, etc

so i committed various bug fixes today, as well as jonathans code that creates an image with the mixid on it. i tweaked it of course, to use emmanuels cd sleeve.

find and findcds now have the time a cd was created in the info bubble.

registered users will be taken to the "my cds" page on login but that won't overwrite the front page so if they click "home" they'll go to the front page.

site's looking good!

burning mixes

we need to burn a bunch of mixes and populate our site. i say we should burn multiple copies and hope that at least a couple of them are found and entered in the website. we should also do the chalk graffiti stuff on campus and advertise the site that way.

lat/lons

so now when you submit a mixcd, it finds the lat/lon like it did before but before saving to the database, it checks for cds with the same lat/lon. if there's another cd with the same lat/lon, it changes the lat/lon by +-0.0001 and rechecks the database.
