Nice site

Makes me feel hungry both for food and design skills.

May I ask what theme you modified or is it custom?

how did you get the user block with their picture linking to "My Account"

Brilliant work

sumoanand commented

Thanks droople..

Actually we started with andreas01 & later on modified it so much that it is no more andreas01..
But now we are planning to modify it further due to 2 reasons:
1) Site is mostly gray as of now
2) These rounded blocks are taking too much of space..

Regarding picture in the user block, we have added the code in the Template file.

Sumoanand

I really like the tabs which appear to load dynamically. I also like the auto-changing front feature and numbers/next-last navigation. Could you tell us how you did this?

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

Sure..

I just searched for some ajax code on google then got this website called dynamicdrive.com(i think many of you already knew this) here you will get lot of Ajax/javascript stuffs which you can add to your site.

What integration did you do to get the script working within drupal? Is it all just hardcoded with some div tags to ID stuff, is ajax loading happening that calls the database, or are all tabs preloaded?

Also, any reason you chose this instead of jquery and the jstools suite?

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

As we are using this feature only at 1-2 places so done bit of hard coding..
Regarding jquery, we were not interested in using the hacked version of jquery for drupal 4.7
But moving forward, we are planning to use jquery with drupal 5.x version of ifood.tv

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi, great site.
Could you tell us a bit about what modules you used on your lovely site?

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

Thanks Tom..

Main modules we are using are flexinode, Views, subscriptions, invite, buddylist, rating, url alias, devel, forward, logintoboggan & blockcache.

Some of the modules we have modified to suit our needs.

We are planning to move from flexinode to CCK but it will take some time.

Nice site and good use of ajaxcontenttabs. The only thing I would suggest is using transparent gif images instead of png - the transparency of your logo and voting stars is lost in IE6.

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

Thank you very much Spooky..
On IE7 & firefox 2 it is working fine but on IE6 it is creating problem.. very strange..

Thanks & Regards,
Sumeet Anand

spooky69 commented

PNG transparency is usually a problem on IE6 - you can either use workarounds or simply use a gif with transparency instead of png - the gif will work in all browsers (as far as I am aware).

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

You are right gif logo has solved this problem.
Also there were some issues related to browse recipe page.. those are also fixed.

thanks spooky..

Sumeet Anand

Great Website! How long did it take you to develop the site and learn how to incorporate the modules/themes?

Regarding the png transparency problem, I had a similar problem on one of my Websites and found an easy fix. Check out this site - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/

Out of curiosity.... for the dynamic tab content on the video node (below the video) - it looks like you have made pages that take the nid from the url to serve dynamic content in the tabs? Could you perhaps give me a pointer with regard to the php used in the page to take the node id from the url and return only the content?

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

sure..
below is the code which i used..

<?php

if(isset($_GET['nid']))
{
    $nodeid = $_GET['nid'];
}

then connect to database & query the database on the basis of this nid & get the data which you need
?>

Hello,

you have a nice website, and i would like to have the same system for the videos : allowing members to upload their own videos or post their youtube videos and play them directly on the site. Can you tell me which module do you use for this part ?

Thank you by advance !

J

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

Hi SpeedAirMan,

Thanks for the appreciation.
As of now we are not using any specific module for this feature.

We have simply created two fields: one to embed the video & other to upload. Theming is done at node level to display whatever is available.

Regards,
Sumoanand

My mom would probably dig this site sumoanand. Pretty easy to navigate too. Thanks for sharing it. I'm curious about what application you use that takes the uploaded video and automatically converts it (format, resize, frames/sec...etc..) to flash.

sumoanand’s picture

sumoanand commented

Hi Adam,

We are using ffmpeg for video conversion.
Your suggestions most welcome.

Thanks,
Sumoanand

Hi

Your site looks great and I'm particularly looking at the groups feature of the site to use on a site we are creating.

Just a note on security - when I registered for the site I automatically got a personal message - see below. I just wondered if anyone knows what can be done to protect site from these sort of abuses...

Kevan

Anyone see last nights Dragons Den (BBC TV show, where people pitch ideas to investors), they had ifoods.tv on there trying to get investment - the failed due to ifood.tv having the better domain name.

Go Drupal :)
