Hey all, ok I went from http://www.acecoolco.com/ with ACMS 3.0.0PR to http://www.acecoolco.com/dev/new_site/tool_metatag_generator.php with ACMS 1.0.0 PRE RC 1 (few more things need to be finished) How do you like the design, and integration of everything? What can I improve? Josh
Definite improvement over the older one i think. Things are now easy to read and also not so grey and gloomy.
Fixed up the MEDIA section to now display how many items are in the sub categories and so on http://www.acecoolco.com/dev/new_site/media.php
how many hours you worked on this site mate ??? i wonder how can you work so much on one thing anyways keep up the good work and i really liked the random pic gaurav
Well, I am a perfectionist... So, way too long, haha... This current rewrite I have an extensive backend so not all of the features are visible... And, it is kind of hard to say how much time I have into it on this rewrite, but if I were to guess, maybe a full work week or two nonstop churning out of code... (I think I am at about 1mb or so in PHP/html/js/css without template images) Basically the main "highlight" of my cms way back (several years ago) was I was able to manage and update quite a few of them with a mouse click.. The "updation" Module Basically, login to the website, go to administration panel and click on update. It will then spit out a list of all the files you have installed, which ones are up to date, which ones are up to date with changed data and lets you either UPDATE ALL (which are outdated), or install modules, which it would pull directly off my website provided the credentials were correct (serial number, ip address, web address, etc...)
As amazing as your claim your backend to be, it's a different story for the end user IMO. It looks as if you've gone a little crazy with the polygon marquee tool in Photoshop with the very angular design (even more so than the previous version) It's better for bigger resolutions and it's an improvement, but I think a whole new layout should have been rolled out instead as it's just a build on the previous one which was never that appealing in the first place.
Do you think I should make the center white? Darker header, I have no sense in design heh :-( All? actually looks a bit better, heh... But, what colors would you recommend?
