Something to look at.... Gamers Seeking Gamers

[Morrus]

It's not finished yet and needs some cleaning up and functionality tweaks, but it basically works.

Best presented without instructions, since that's the way a new member will see it.

http://www.enworld.org/forum/gamersseekinggamers.php

It's obviously not populated yet, since it hasn't been publicized at all (the only people who know about it are those who look at this thread). So imagine it with thousands of members, events, and groups.

Feel free to play with it - anything you add will stick, though, so try to be vaguely sensible about what you enter!

I tried to go back to it and cannot find out how aside from your post. I assume you haven't put a link to it anywhere yet.

EDIT: After looking at it, I feel so alone in Richmond, VA (just kidding, I know it's new)

Yeah - if I put a link somewhere, too many people will click on it! Sorry about that! When we launch it properly there will be a big prominent link.

You're 3699 miles away from me!

I was amazed at the last map you had up. Sometimes it's hard to believe that RPGs have made it to every corner of the world, though I still believe that somewhere in Antarctica right now, some researchers are sitting down and playing Call of Cthulhu.

Looks nifty! I just added some random non-event in the middle of nowhere to test it out. Should we be able to see points on the map other than just ourselves? Even set to large chunks of the world, I only see myself.

Only comment at this point is that when there's an form submission error (eg, forgot to tick a box or something), one sees the error message, but no instruction what to do about it. (This applies to all form inputs, actually.) If possible, it might be helpful to add a simple "Use the back button to navigate back to the form and make the correction."

I'll play around with it later.

What did you add? I ain't seeing it!

And what form-submisison error did you get and what error message?

I'm seeing myself and Jasperak, and the couple of events we added (Gen Con, my weekly gaming group, and his made-up thing).

[BTW, please remember to delete those when it goes live, guys! ) ]

I couldn't find it until after I test submitted a second one, so now there are two of them, both in Texas for a few few days in early August. You're listed as an attendee on the first one, so I guess you you found it? I'll delete them when you confirm you can see them.

I can now see you and Jasperak on the map, and several events.

The form submission error I saw was just a "You forgot to choose public or private", a standard required field error. I went back, ticked the box, resubmitted and it was happy.

However, I just noticed that when I click "ADD AN EVENT", I see the following on screen before anything else renders:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/calendar.php(1828) : eval()'d code on line 61

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/calendar.php(1828) : eval()'d code on line 70

The thread title gave me the impression you were opening some kind of gaming related dating site on here.

Clearly I need more coffee and or more sleep. One of those.

Yay, now everyone can see there is at least one gamer here in South Africa, with my own group and Con

Cool. There are some bugs and layout issues (and some spelling/grammar issues - the coder speaks English as a second language), so please feel free to let me know when you spot them. I hope to launch this properly next week, once the wrinkles have been ironed out.

I've already sent the coder a list of 15 bugs I've found!
