Dave has been busy over the 2010 New Year weekend doing software updates on the class database. We're getting ready for the annual email for class dues, and have incorporated some Fleet Database improvements. Here are some highlights when you select "Fleets", "Directory" from the main menu:
- The fleet database now displays inside the main J/30 web page so the menu structure is maintained.
- Email addresses are links on names rather than long email text fields - helps keep the columns narrower
- There are links to a person's forum profile on hull numbers - the profile is only visible if you are logged into the forum, otherwise you get a login screen
- There is a link back to your class database record on your forum profile that is only visible by you. It can be used for you to make easy database updates
- People who have boat websites have hotlinks to their sites from the boat name
- You still have sort capabilities by hull (default), current year class member, name, sail #, owner, state and fleet
- Just as before, the camera to the left of an entry is a link for that record's boat picture
- A check mark to the left of an entry indicates class dues were paid for the current year. This is annotated either upon receipt of a check, or PayPal payment
- As before, only limited information from the class database is displayed to the public
Let us know if you have any questions or issues using the updates to the class database.
