    • Hi, all.

      Website URL: www.scwband.org

      Additional Extensions: Community Builder 1.2, Docman, JCal Client/Pro, uddeIM, phpBB3 with RokBridge integration, ZWeather, Content Item Module (aka mod_placehere), Live Users Pro, JX Random Quote, JW Tabs & Slides (on the Sponsors page), JCE Editor, Zulu. On the admin side we are also using eXtplorer and JoomlaPack.

      Custom Development: None yet.

      Other Features: Some of the neater features (forum integration, live users, uddeim, docman) can't be seen except by registered users. Unfortunately, because this site involves high school students we have to keep this a closed community to protect their safety and privacy.

      Any specific areas of my site that I'd like feedback on, if any: I'm still considering how to bring A/V galleries online. I've got a lot of audio, photos, and videos from past performances that I'd like to put up. Any suggestions on better gallery components would be helpful (torn between Gallery2, Coppermine, and RSGallery2). I'm considering putting the video out on Google Video and linking to it so that I don't use storage/bandwidth on our hosting provider. Anybody have any experiences (+/-) with that? Also, I'm considering an instant messaging system for online registered users that I could integrate with live users pro ... maybe php121? And I'd like to add something like a guestbook/mailing list registration that could be used as an alternative to full site registration for visitors who want to stay informed but will not be full-fledged members of the community. Suggestions?

      Additional Comments: We're on Joomla! 1.5.3. I have web development experience but this was my first Joomla! site. I'm very excited about the technology and the community. There are an incredible amount of resources available. One of the most useful general-purpose modules has to be mod_placehere. It makes it incredibly easy to publish content in any module position. Thanks for visiting and for your advice. And if you like band and want to support us, that would be warmly welcomed! :)
