New series main page layout... by IGC on Fri Mar 06th, 2009 - 12:24 pm

I have been working on a new layout for the main series page.

The current page only has links to the categories, and thumbnail views for some wallpapers and dvd covers, so I thought we should include more information in there and maybe show the latest uploads regardless of category rather than just wallpapers and covers, so here is what I came up with...

The new page will include a little info section for the series that is stored as BBCode in the database, so it can include a summary, a list of different titles, links or other things.

Right now, it is not editable, but I will probably add an edit button so that mods can edit the information. I would add it for everyone, but that might be dangerous... Maybe adding a "suggest info" that is not directly added to the database might work.

Here is a sample page for Code Geass. Let me know what you think. (If you click on the image you will see it full size).

That is good. But can you use for the category buttons the silver background and the same fonts like in the old? From where is the summary from?
And information picture shoul be from previews (150x200).

My Favorite Anime: Ghost in the Shell, Code Geass, IkkiTousen
My Favorite Manga: Ghost in the Shell, Hellsing, Orion

I can use the silver background and border, but the font size is too big to fit that layout... I just tried with the silver button look and it works good, so I'll probably use that, but I'll keep the fonts as they are.

From where is the summary from?

Wikipedia... I looked at some sites, and that one looked good.l

And information picture shoul be from previews (150x200).

You are right, but they don't look as good on the page as a wallpaper/artbook. My first idea was to use a preview image, but those look better..
However, we can always change that.

Those just happened to be the latest uploads... The site does not sort by character, although most of the images are tagged with the characters that are in there, so can try the tags menu to look for the characters you want.
