Re: New CakePHP Application Launches

Did you add it to 
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/web/cake-apps-sites-in-the-wild

And maybe consider a Case Study for the Bakery.  We are always looking
for good real-world examples of applications built on Cake.

The site looks very nice as well.

 It really needs some content right now, so would be great if bakers

+1 on how nice the site looks, and seems fast.

A good case study could be the search you have going on there. I've done
some code to incorporate FULLTEXT searching (need to convert it to a
behavior) which works very well, but still need some polishing before I
publish it.

Nice!

Well done!
Is it based on Cake 1.2?
Did you use the auth component?

Good job mate!

How do you expect people to give feedback?  The feedback link in the
top bar does nothing and the contact link at the bottom says This
page will contain contact information.

My feedback was that some of the alt tags seem silly (Logo should be
replaced by Trippert for example) and some of the colour choices
make the site confusing for browsers which don't load images or use
javascript (failing to ensure sufficient contrast, for example). With
images but without Javascript, main pictures never load - you'd only
ever see the throbber.  The pages don't scale down to 512px width (for
people using 1x2 or 2x2 tiled browsers on 1024px screens) and stuff
just gets cut off the right-hand-side with no horizontal scroll bar
in Firefox 1.  All of these should be fixed and usually can be fixed
quite easily on a CakePHP site - there's no need to be inaccessible.

That said, the site idea and general implementation seems pretty cool,
like a much easier-to-use TripAdvisor.  It could go a lot of places
and I can see how you could make money from it.  One obvious
user-aimed improvement idea is to add meta ICBM to each location page
and submit them to geoURL and similar sites.

Re: New CakePHP Application Launches

2007-07-05 Thread oms

Hi guys,

Thanks very much for all the feedback.  Keep it coming!

Yes, one of the issues is the reliance on JS - it definitely makes it
difficult for the site to be usable on older browsers or with disabled
JS.  We made that compromise for now, but something to examine - we'll
look at it for sure.  Feedback buttons should be working, but perhaps
not with JS - we'll be adding the email as well - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As for the geo-tagging, stay posted - some features in development
there.  :)

Right now what we need most are articles - so if you live anyplace
even remotely exotic (Wisconsin is nice this time of year :)), pls
post!

Thanks,
Omar
