From WLCS
  1. I plan on learning HTML and all the necessary associated skills with making a web page.
    • As far as a progress indicator, I plan on creating a (un)official web page for the Model UN club for WL.
    • Depending on how long it takes, I would also learn PHP.
  2. Here is the tutorial I plan on using:
  3. I have started on the website and here is what I have accomplished:
  4. I think the first quarter will be spent making the site.
    • The next couple of weeks will be spent learning php and making the site able to be changed by someone else easily.
  5. I took a sizable portion of code from a login system on another site and integrated it into my own.
    • The site now has login and user functions.
    • The next step is to make it so that people can change the site or add things without messing up the important stuff.
    • Here is the newest version of the site
  6. The last step is to make it mutable
    • I'm torn between making a wiki system of appending and changing
    • And a system of just changing the file itself
      • This would require access to the server itself but would allow for easier typing
      • And be a whole lot easier to code

I think I'm going to go with the first option because I want the system to be as easy as possible.

    • As it turn out, it was easier than I thought
      • The system now allows you to change things
        • Even without being connected to server
        • Only admin can change things. Username:admin Password:firesky1
      • However, each individual page will require a specific type of change/input system
      • I have already done the four easiest ones
    • I need to make systems for:
      • Photos
      • Databases(spreadsheets)
      • Lists(photos and links included)
    • I've created the database editor and was working on the photo and links editor
    • However, I figured out that someone already created a site for MUN, using a web site creator, and thus mine is useless.
      • As such, I have taken the web site offline as to not waste space.
      • I am going to get started on a personal website that would display different pictures and allow people to leave comments.

I have switched projects and am now creating a personal website.

  1. It has, as of now:
    • An login, account system
    • A prototype add comment system, that utilizes the user account system. It contains:
      • A date and time function
      • Comment Areas
      • Signiture Area
      • Avatar Area
      • ( The idea being the the avatar and signiture areas will link up with the user account for more personalization.
    • A function that takes text documents and makes them linkable to the site, provided they are in a specific folder.
    • Most importantly, all file storage uses MySql instead of just text files, which I guess makes it more professional (not to mention harder to use)
  2. However, it is not on washlee.net nor anyother server, it is only on local host.

I'm almost done with what I want to do with the website

  1. I synced the mysql database and the folder with files in it so that it now:
    • Creates a mysql table everytime a file is added
    • Deletes the mysql table if the file is deleted

Languages and Syntax that I have Learned

  1. HTML
  2. CSS
  3. PHP
  4. Mysql (some)
  5. System Commands (a couple)
