[thelist] the site in a week progress

Right. So you saw the template a few days ago, which
was just a static page. Now there's progress:
http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/lineup/

(NB only the Press, Lineup and Gigs links work at the
moment)

This is all running with SSIs, from 2 servers (I don't have
time to learn all the stuff I'd need to get it working on their
NT server, so theirs only contains the images etc and some
framesets - everything else runs off my BSD/Apache server).

Everything up to the start of the links, and after the main content
is an SSI. The links are SSIs, dynamically generated from
a data file, so the links (main and sub) are from a tab separated
text file looking like this:

Gigs	http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/gigs/	See where and when we'll be playing
Lineup	http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/lineup/	Find out who we are
Sounds	http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/sounds/	Hear what we sound like
Press	http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/press/	Read interviews and press releases
Contacts	http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/contacts/	Get in touch
Guestbook	http://www.funkmusic.co.uk/guesbook/	Tell us what you think

The key bit is that the SSI accepts parameters letting it know
whether they're main or sublinks, and which datafile to
look at (thanks Anthony for the advice on how to do this, and
to Dean for the Perl multi-dimensional array tutorial at
http://evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=316 ) 

Before the big gig on Sunday (http://www.festivalrevue.com),
there'll be a Flash streaming jukebox (with big help from Ryan -
see his Flash *tutorials at
http://evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=196 and
http://evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=163 ), a kickass
guestbook (lots of nice admin options), and good form->email
thingy.

Oh, and I'll sort out the CSS, including the Netscape resize bug,
allow dynamic resizing of fonts (thanks to Aardie - see his
tutorial at http://evolt.org/index.cfm?menu=8&cid=253 )
for PC users who will get bigger fonts than the Mac ones
I designed it on, and put in a nice dHTML solution for IE-like
tooltips in Netscape.

See - evolt helps you build the sites you need to. This enormous
rush job (I was briefed last Saturday) was only possible with
what I've learned here.

Cheers
Martin
