Stuck

I've been stuck the past few days with the website. So while I've been waiting to get help from my tutor, I have just been making little changes here and there to the website to make it better. I have been trying to style the form where the dreams are submitted in. I have been playing around with the fonts and colours of the website to try and get the best suitable design possible. I have also made the tag search work properly so when a tag is clicked in the tag cloud the dreams are actually displayed with the tags, where as before just the persons name was being displayed with the tags and no dream, which was pointless.

I have designed in Photoshop, how I have pictured my website to look like. You can view this below:


This has all stemmed from this design that I had thought of at the start of this project. An image of this can be viewed below:

Voting System

I had been struggling to find a voting system tutorial that I wanted to implement on my website. However, this change when I came across this tutorial. I followed the tutorial successfully and got a voting system for the dreams working. The problem I have, is that the system has not been implemented into my website, but works by another file. So I need to merge the two and get the voting system working properly with my website.

The below images shows the voting system being implemented.


I now want to add this system to my website, which you can see in the image below.


As you can see the website is a working progress but I am making good progress. Hopefully I can have the website completed within the next few weeks, so I can concentrate on the report.

I've been looking desperately to find a voting tutorial that I can use to add to my site but to no avail. I want to do the voting system via AJAX so it doesn't have to reset the page when updating, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this. I'm also struggling to find a tutorial on a flagging system. This is quite worrying as I don't have long left to complete the website so I really need to get a move on.

The list I have thought to myself that I have left to finish the website is this:

1. Complete the voting system.
2. Complete the flagging system.
3. Complete the pagination.
4. Complete the design.
   

The Joys of Boredom!

After being bored the other night I decided to add the comment section to the main part of the website (as it was a separate script before). This was a bit fiddly and took some editing of code. To do this also I had to get rid of the pagination on the dreams. I'm not sure why to be honest, but it didn't work with it, so I thought it would be better to have the comment system in place rather than some pagination. I will work on the pagination over the next week or so.

I have also been bored tonight with nothing to do so decided to work on the design of the site. I had the idea of clouds because when people used to dream in old cartoons clouds would appear above their heads. This has stuck with me from the off so I wanted to keep this theme with the site. I was also influenced by last years Disney movie Up. This is where an old man flies his house with a bunch of balloons attached to it. The film was very colourful and looked amazing. So I thought of someone holding a balloon flying through the sky. I also added a rainbow. There wasn't much reason for doing this apart from it was colourful. Here's what I came up with.
