Hey Daffy and Sparks! I'm fg123, one of the programmers for Scratch Resources. I can help greatly with the php scripting and/or the designing. Um... Can I help?    I can get a .co.cc domain, thus removing the freehostingcloud thing. I use 000webhost btw.

Contact me on one of my projects and we can further discuss this matter...

I do like freehostingcloud because it has no adds and unlimited webspace! 
But it would be usefull if you could investigate free domain names like .co.cc and .tk ect. Which one would be better and easier. 

I've used fhc for a bit, but didn't find it that reliable.    Can you send me the files, and I'll make some changes. How is scratchblocklibrary.co.cc sound?

emm. loose the scratch bit. Just block-library.co.cc 
Fine, what host do you want? Set up an account and then email me the login details to... daffy22scratch@gmail.com 

I persume your host has SQL servers and full PHP capabilities, right? 
I need to be able to use SQL databases and allow file upload as well as been able to write to files. Is that a problem?

sorry ProggrammingFreak, emm maybe you could. Depends. Do you know PHP?

As much as a communal effort can be useful, I think the more people who work on the website at once, the more difficult it will be to combine everything easily so I would say keep the amount of people developing it to the minimum    I'm leaving this to daffy22 and fg123 who I know are good programmers. It's up to them who they wish to recruit or not recruit 

k, let me think. BTW, thnx for letting me join. Everyone seems to ignore me.
hmm. PHP could do this. so you make a form that lets the person enter their block. Then that sends the message to you.
But how does someone send a block? Ohh, they could send the code! DUH!
um yeah. I think i might be able to work on the form

Uploading for different blocks might be different. For instance, the way I upoad blocks now depend on the mod they belong to.

[scratch blocks]
graphic image of block made and hosted
blockspec and code posted beneath picture with contributor's name.

[BYOB blocks]
graphic image of block made and hosted
graphic image of block code made and hosted
sprite file for block made and hosted
block image displayed and linked to code image next to contributor
download button image linked to sprite file.

[Panther blocks]
graphic image of block made and hosted
block code, colour, spec and contributor uploaded as a text file
block image posted next to contributor name with a block number
link to actual file posted so people can see the source.

I don't suppose there's a way for the site to automatically make a picture of a block someone shares? (for Scratch and Panther). I can't think of one. If there's a "upload" button for a sprite file and an image in the form, that would work well

Actually, I noticed that that won't work. Um, lemme setup the site first. DNS takes bout a day to get the domain right...

Okay, I propose a new system  ...
[Scratch Blocks]
graphic image
spec
code

[BYOB]
graphic image
how to make graphic image
sprite file

[Panther]
graphic image
name
selector
colour


Hows that sounds? 

PS: http://www.block-library.freehostingcloud.com/ check it out now 

do you actually want it to email you?

Will I continue to host the BYOB sprites?

yes you will

I think sparks just wants a page were he will be able to view the recent uploads and approve of them. Nothing to complicated 

This thread is certainly filling up with posts! Maybe someone should make a Hamachi network or something to get all this settled.

[Scratch Blocks]
graphic image
spec
code
catagory (radio e.g. Motion)
name of submitter

[BYOB]
graphic image if this is a browser opening button, do we need to host the images on the site?
how to make graphic image same question
sprite file same question
catagory
name of submitter

[Panther]
graphic image
name
selector
colour
catagory
name of submitter

yes?

Your "click here to share a block" link takes me to a page that says I'm not allowed to view it with my server...

I have google docs, if you need me on there

I think a seperate thread would be easier than a hamachi (or a google doc file)

hmm, so i've got this so far. it doesn't do anything really. do you do like

Code:

echo "<p>'$name'"</p>"

for him to view the uploads. Here is the barebones:

Code:

<form method="post">
<h3>Share a Block!</h3>
<p>Do you have a block that you would like to share to the<br>
Scratch World? You've come to the right place</p>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Name of Block:</p><input type="text" size="50" name="name">
</td>
<td><p>BlockSpec: <input type="text" name="spec"size="400"></p>
</td>
<td><p>Code: <input type="text" name="code" size="400"></p>
</td>
<td>
<p>Block's Mod:</p>
<select>
<option name="Panther" value="Panther">
<option name="BYOB" value="BYOB">
</select> 
</td>
<td>
<p>Notes:</p><input type="text" name="notes" size="400">
</td>
</tr>
</form>
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$mod = $_POST['mod'];
$notes= $_POST['notes'];
$spec = $_POST['spec'];
$code = $_POST['code'];
?>

its definatly not finished yet!
