ZoaID.com idea - feedback?

[cowcio]

Any updates on this?

I think it is an interesting concept.
IF executed properly this could be a very good source for trading zoanthids.

I agree, but I think alot of people are taking advantage of it to get more money for their zoa's......

hiya!

we've put up a couple of pictorial-log articles on the articles section, but i've not made any headway to the 'got it, got it, want it' functionality.

i do have one nifty feature coming pretty soon though!

 

[ecotoxlady]

Brilliant idea whodah! Bill - you crack me up

 

[tnyr5]

truthfully sounds like a great idea, albeit complicated to execute.

 

[tnyr5]

what i would suggest is making a sub category " trade for it"
and let people post pictures of the zoos they're willing to trade

Who Dah - Wow, I was just introducted to this site and it is so awesome! At first I thought the business of defining a Zoa morph would be rather sketchy due to lighting, photography differences, ect., but the comparison of 'armor of god' and 'armageddon' goes to show how truely cool the site is. I've got a few zoas in my tank that I don't see anything like on the site, and I can't wait to photo them to see.

I know your site is a work in progress. Since you're using php, I'll assume you've got some kind of database running behind it. I'm a web app developer (KiLlEr CoDInG NinJa MoNkEy) and my brain is a buzzin with features you could implement on the site. Its probably all stuff you've though of, like color catagories so people can search. I've seen others ideas on attempting to capture the supply vs. demand status of the zoas, and that is a reallly cool idea too, though I'd have to ponder on the best way to implement it.

At any rate, WONDERFUL SITE! Let me know if you ever need anyone to help work on it.

[whodah]

hello there!

u r correct, it is php/mysql driven.



ideas are always welcome and encouraged! i'd love to hear 'em - feel free to post 'em or PM me.

you wouldn't happen to know flash would ya? my flash is very limited... make a box go from right to left is about my skillset.

one nifty idea will require:

• 3D flash work
• advanced flash scripting (at least i think it's advanced, ha!)

 

[Reef Junkie]

Love, exciting and new, climb aboard, we're expecting you......

Very cool Kam!

Hey guys,

I really don't have any flash experience. Depending upon what you want, I could probably figure it out.

I was thinking you should add color identifiers to your database records so that zoas can be displayed and/or searched by color. This would probably be best achieved with 'PrimaryColor', 'SkirtColor', and 'MiscColor' fields. Then you could use those flags to group display info by color. There are other ways to approch color from the database to consider, this would be the easiest implementation I think though.

The thing about grouping zoas by color is that it doesn't only give the user some drill down level, but it also will be a bit of a gauge in itself as to what is no so common or harder to come by. Just having so few entries in the color 'yellow' in itself says that yellow is hard to come by.

Just some thoughts.

Your ideas sound great Kam! I hope that you and whodah can put them to use soon!! By the way, I definitely don't see your orange ringers on zoaid

 

[ReefWifey]

Hmmm...I think Reef Junkie said they look like super nova....looks like them to me

 

[ficklefins]

Whodah,

Lets hear your flash idea. I'm sure we all have enough experience together to make it work?

 

[ecotoxlady]

Reefwifey, they don't look like supernova because they have the blue mouths whereas supernova only has the blue ring outside the orange. I have supernova (and now the orange ringers *mwahhahaha*) and they are totally different. The orange ringers are much nicer if you ask me. I think they should be called the "eye of the tiger" zoas

Let me guess.....

A zoanthid slot machine where you win the color combo your thing falls on.
