Hello!
I am running an overly ambitious hobby website that has the following;
phpbb ver 2.018 w/ template EZ Serenity
coppermine 1.35 , w/ Anime template
Tufat Flash Chat
and a Flash Gallery
TuFat flash script: http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm).
EZ serenity here http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo.php
I have uploaded, installed and have run everything for about a month on the forum and chat and 2 days on Coppermine. It works great.
The main reason I want to use someone is that I want to do some updates and do not want to end up a php-Nuke clone. But I look at my list of changes (below) and get a migraine. I have a personal business totally unrelated to the site and trying to learn all that is taking time away from that.
Overall, I want to add fun features while maintaining a distinctive flavor.
Planned site changes:
(1) Upgrade of Coppermine (including theme to latest). I have read 1.4 has a 'photo reorder' feature. If that is correct I'd like to upgrade for that alone! Or if you can add a mod, please! That is something I really need on a personal and user level!
(2) Upgrade of Phpbb to some type of content management like phpbb fetchall or simplemaches , or smartor. I want to use and integrate coppermine with that so probably fetchall works best. Some of the things I want to do are:
(2.1) I have a small window I placed on the bottom of my screen which shows 'who's chatting'. It is really small
and I want to make it more prominent.
(3) The overallheader.tpl file (in EZ serenity) has been modified by me where I changed two buttons (top right if you check out the demo) and links for them. What I want to do is add two more to the bottom. I'm so new at this trying to learn the tables and stuff is a little daunting. I have a blank button gif I made on photoshop if that would help.
I also want to learn some of the things you're doing along the way, esp the content management stuff. Would you be willing to teach some of this? I am willing to pay for that too.
Requirements:
I am willing to pay a professional rate, but for that I would like a professional. Please give me a little background on your experience. A CV or some examples of your work would be great. If you are on the W Coast (Oregon) that is a plus as I'd like to work with you.
If you have a quote for this work or an hourly rate, please include that in your response.
You will need to sign a non-disclosure (NDA) for this work.
Please pm me here with your contact information or other details. Thanks!
