DPGS is a free and open-source tool for enhancing virtual communities, discussion groups and message boards with dynamically generated photographic member profiles. Features: User-updateable profiles; scalable: easy to add/remove data fields by simply editing the html templates. No need to edit program code or alter table definitions (as in traditional SQL-based data-store). Birthday notification: all birthdays within a certain time period are displayed. Semi-private: users can optionally make their profile private to allow only other members to view their profile. Cookie.lib is used here only to assign a "private view" session-based cookie such that the member doesn't have to re-authorize. Searchable profiles. User-friendly despite the complexity. |
