Ok, I didn't break anything tonight, now I am trying to learn what I can do with DNN. I am starting to think about a good way to organize and display our member rides section of the website. Currently, we build a new page for every member, insert the Front Page slideshow, and then add a thumbnail link to another page to get to it. It is very clumsy, and does not look great. It is also a real pain to add a new vehicle, as you have to manually move every car to alphabetize things. This is where I think DNN is going to shine.
I want a module or solution that will allow an administrator to enter a members information, vehicle description, and upload pics (stored logically somewhere as pics may have the same name between members). I then want one page on the site that will allow you to find a member either alphabetically (i.e. Jasper, Randy), or by the vehicle description (1969 ZL1). I want something that is some sort of database, and I want to be able to display the pictures in a nice slideshow when the member is selected. I really don't want to have to have 330 individual pages, so I would like something that builds the page based on the database information the user requests. I would really like for it to be easy to use, and able to handle many photographs, as well as text. Some members do provide write-ups of their vehicles. I would also like to have the option of adding a linked URL to the page for members that have websites devoted to their car as well (such as an fquick.com or cardomain).
Our current site is www.northstarcamaroclub.com and the section I want to improve upon is the Club Member tab (we call it Member Rides now). Is this something that DNN can do? Who do I need to contact about setting this feature up. This and the club events (very similiar format) are the core of our site right now. It is important that we make it a much friendlier interface for the user, as well as much easier to enter and organize the data. Thank you for your time....
