DEV: Members Page

[kTamorel]

Usually when you look up a PA members list there are all the important people at the top and all the new members towards the bottom.

This doesn't suit the BotD.

I would like to convey to the browser that this PA has a flat structure, and this can be conceptualed as each member sitting around a circle, or in Star Wars, maybe around a multi-pointed star (like a snow flake might look).

for example:

www.starwars.com/databank/organization/thejediorder/img/eu_bg.jpg

look at the pattern on the floor - thats what I mean by a star-circle thing.

It is possible to create an anim that you can spin left or right via arrows, that brings up each members name, race, and class. Or is that too difficult cos it would have to link-in with a database?

If it's too hard, is there any other way we could get across that the PA has a flat structure?

regards, tael.

hmm. we could... but that would use up a bunch of space plus, it would be link to link... each member has their own page... hmm will have to think abou this one.

I don't see how that could take up too much space, the image for the star-circle thing would take up the most space anyway.

And not every member will need it's own page. this is where javascript jumps in. in theory it isn't too complicated but it IS complicated to write the code for it.

hmmmm, if you have any ideas of how to get the same message across without going into tricky code then please post here. Ill have a think about it too..

Very cool Idea K something like a Knights of the round table. A good way to go this might be through a battel log with members listed by their activity in the game itself insted of rank. We will stay on top for a while but other players will be able to advence quickly.
