Website URL:
www.bidlesstravel.com
Additional Extensions: JomSocial, Fabrik, Signal Login, XTC Map Module, AlphaRegistration
Other Features: The Priceline bid database to track historical bids.
Any specific areas of my site that I'd like feedback on, if any: All of it.
Additional Comments: I am still tweaking, of course, and have to finish the tutorials and the like, but it's roughed out and functioning now.
This started as a DNN site, but with my migration to Joomla, I decided to port it over BUT dumped the whole SQL db, to include my 1,500+ members. ;( I just opened up registration, so hoping some come back.
I just recently cleaned up the homepage (the old (version 12? ) look can be seen in the 'Getting Started' tutorial...moved the flash map to the 'Search' page, rather than occupy so much real estate on the homepage, then hid the filter/db table, so people can simply click on a state, then compile the table, etc,etc, etc...just not sure the general premise comes across now.
If anyone knows of a good IP tracker extension that writes users' IP addresses to the db, let me know...always got a TON of spammers in the DNN days and they seem to have come back since I opened the doors.

Whoops - I forgot a module in my list of toys (I just edited the first post); you mean the flash map located here ( www.bidlesstravel.com/search-winning-priceline-bids.html )?
For that one, rather than spending hours working on a flash map, I dropped $6 or $8 on the XTC map module, then using flashvars are query links to filter the database table.

- Thanks - I just need an interactive map mod like that to link to state directories for a site I'm converting from HTML to Joomla.

I updated the list of extensions, as I discovered AlphaRegistration during my quest for decent captcha...check out the registration page...the graphic with the 3 steps changes to step 2 after the OnSubmit, then shows the 3rd step when they return to validate, if that makes sense...pretty slick little component with decent-looking captcha.
