Title: New showcase website for WebsiteBaker developers
Post by: Ruud on March 10, 2010, 01:45:13 PM
Today I launched a new private experiment.

A website designed to show the world your WebsiteBaker creations.
>> www.mywebsitebaker. com
Hopefully soon it will be the biggest collection of WebsiteBaker sites in the world.

Create your own account, and submit your website(s).
The site will only accept WebsiteBaker powered websites, and will automatically check the url of your site to verify the use of WebsiteBaker.

The project is currently in "Public Beta", so it could be that you find bugs or other problems.
Please do not report those problems in this forum, but send them directly to info (at) mywebsitebaker.com.

Yo - nice made, works well!

Why are there SO much dutch sites (not now on your page - this is obvious - but in general?)

The closed beta-testing was done with some Dutch friends only..

It should change soon :-)

WOW, great idea for a site, man!

Yeah I've noticed the plethora of Dutch developers who use WB, too. Weird!

I also like the idea, maybe this could be linked with WB start site as a showcase site..

Hmm - I think the Dutch website are nearly all "design focused". Just look around - nearly all good & "easy looking" around the web are made from Dutch people, also tools like TopStyle, or the design of the new WB site.  :wink:

Yes, good-looking site. There's just some validation error ( </br> inside some <span ... >) that creates 7 errors.

Yours Michael

Btw: Why do you use some old WB logo?  :-D

Thanks for pointing out.
My Firefox local validator didn't show that one.

Ruud,

Once again a great idea. I already submitted 3 of our sites. (the rest will follow once i've got screenshots)

But i got some suggestions for the site maybe you can do something with them.

* In the "personal page" there could be a list of submitted websites. with the option to change some thing, turn them on or off post a new screenshot etc etc.

* Adding a cloak url for the website, i submitted the fundays page. This site is hosted on my personal host. but we got a dutch redirect url. I could not submit the redirect and had to use the longer url.

* Submitting categories after signing in, after the submission the admin (you) can make add or make them or come up with a better name.

* i think there are more but i forgot.

Greetz,

Michel

Thanks for the compliment and for the suggestions..

Some of them are already there.
The list of submitted sites is selectable as a "filter" when you are logged in.

       (http://www.mywebsitebaker.com/media/mywebsitebaker.com.mysites.jpg)

On your "own" pages you can change everything later on. Including removing the image and upload a new one.

       (http://www.mywebsitebaker.com/media/mywebsitebaker.com.edit.jpg)

A redirecting URL is a problem. I need to be sure the website is a WB website. I do not want non-wb sites being listed.

The category management is not yet completely done.
I do not want to allow user-created categories, just to prevent ending up with 3000 sites in 3000 categories.
If I get more suggestions/requests for new categories, I will add them manually.

Just curious,


How can you check automaticly if site is WB or not ?

cheers
Title: Re: New showcase website for WebsiteBaker developers
Post by: chio on March 14, 2010, 09:12:13 PM
You have to submit the name of the admin-directory. Simple.
Title: Re: New showcase website for WebsiteBaker developers
Post by: Xagone on March 14, 2010, 10:12:04 PM
if the admin is on another domain it's doomed ?
i've done a wb with admin at http://admin.domain.com/
hehe

Not at all..

Add some sites, and check your logs  :-)

  :wink:

i've done a wb with admin at http://admin.domain.com/
hehe
I can overrule the automatic check manually, so submit your site and follow the instructions if the check fails.  8-)
Never tried that myself, can you share the details somewhere? (other tread maybe)
For the rest, I did not see any checking problems on submitted sites yet.

Great idea Ruud, excellent! Will be submitting my wb sites shortly!

Just wondering - how does the filter work? Is this a wb mod?

Thanks!

Yep,
Actually the site runs on 3 specially created modules. The submit pages, the catalog and an admin tool for management.
Next a nice droplet to display the "submissions" counter on the homepage.

a suggestion?

i've tried "highest ranking" filter and found that results aren't that right...

you should make the mysql request do a average like :

(SUM(`rank`) / COUNT(`nomber of vote`)) AS `average`
and ORDER BY `average` DESC, `rank DESC, `nomber of vote DESC.

just a suggestion ;)

Hmm..

I thought my:
SELECT ROUND(AVG(r.vote),1) rank, count(*) votes, m.* FROM mod_mywb_rank r left join mod_mywb m on m.id = r.mywb_id WHERE `visible` = '1' group by `mywb_id` order by `rank` DESC, `votes` DESC
gave correct results.

What mistakes do you see in the results?

a 5 stars with 8 votes should be higher than a 5 stars with 1 vote
Title: Re: New showcase website for WebsiteBaker developers
Post by: Ruud on March 26, 2010, 04:10:43 PM
Well, the ranking is done with one decimal. The WB site ranking is 4.9 with 8 votes.
Since I cannot show 4.9 "Hats" it shows 5 "Hats".

I agree that it is a bit "unfair" that just one 5-stars vote will be higher than 4.9-stars with 500 votes.
Some kind of weighted ranking would be better, but I still have not found a good way to calculate such rating.

Great Site! Many thanks.
We just listed our first 2 WB sites. 
We have quite a number of other websites that we are in the process of converting to WB. 
Having used many other CMSs but we haven't found anything that comes close to WB. 
We needed a CMS that anyone here at the office could use that was quick and very easy to understand. No real training necessary, which means we can concentrate on making $$$$. 
FINALLY!!!
In our opinion WB takes the cake!!!
