Arrow New LOCALES and EVENTS Posting Feature... - 06-18-2011, 11:45 AM


New LOCALES and EVENTS Posting Feature

I wanted to add a feature to the forum that would allow members to post and share photo op LOCALES and EVENTS that would be of interest to photographers in the area.

We had a slightly different version previously but with the new transition I felt it was time to step our game up a bit in this area.

Step 1.

Notice when creating a new thread you will see there are currently two new post icons near the bottom of the form to choose from. One is LOCALE and the other is EVENT, there may be more coming but these are the two in affect now.

If you're listing a LOCALE such as a zoo, landmark and/or any other cool spot to shoot photos at you would select the LOCALE icon. If you're listing an EVENT that might be of interest to other photographers such as a street festival, car show and/or any other cool event then you would select the EVENT post icon.



Step 2.

When viewing a state section that has the appropriate post icons assigned to the different locales and events it will look similar to the page below. This can be a bit cumbersome eventually once the sections get filled up and locales and events start to fall back on higher page numbers etc.



Step 3.

In order to address LOCALES and EVENTS getting lost on higher page numbers when viewing a state section we've come up with a great solution. If you want to see available LOCALES for instance simply CLICK on the LOCALE post icon to the left of the thread title and viola! The forum will ONLY display those threads that have that post icon assigned to it in turn letting you see all of the LOCALES only. This will work with the EVENTS post icon as well. Pretty spiffy huh!?





Step 4.

In order to return to the full listing without any sorting CLICK the UNFILTER link listed above the post icon and you'll be returned to the normal viewing of the section.


Once the UNFILTER link has be clicked you'll be returned to the original NON SORTED version of the section.



Step 5.

If you would like to try out this new feature for yourself... visit the Colorado section here:

Sample LOCALE listing here:

Enjoy!

Abel, will you be creating referral cards for Pixtus?
