YES!
The Crazed Imaginations home page is now being generated from postgresql. Whew.
A few forms to create in HTML to edit the contents.
Here is what our cast director (and anyone she designates) will be able to do:
1. Change the Marquee. It will randomly pick from all marquees in the table marked "visible".
2. Change the random picture list.
3. Change the random quote list.
4. Change the show announcements. Show announcements will have start and stop dates to control when they show up and when they stop showing up.
5. Change "From the Cast Director" messages. When there is one (or more) it will show up in a purple box above the show announcements.
This is QUITE good.
The next thing that will go into the database is the menu structure. One menu change will then be on all affected pages. I haven't figured out, quite, how to deal with the forums pages with that one yet. The forum is already using a template page and a different database. It will be fun! (I think, each time the menu is changed, the forum template will be regenerated as a static page.)
