Website suggestion thread

I may or may not be mobilizing a crack commando of best web developers to port the current website to Django framework.
This thread is to post any suggestions for changes you would like to see, or comments which functionalities on current website you don't care for, or really like.

Approved suggestions:

Interactive map
Persisting user session (already handled by Django)
List of vehicles for sale by players (Used car dealership)
Set custom welcomemessage/rank in preferences

interactive map. see source (ctrl+u) of https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32336900/map.html (yes the gangzones are hardcoded).

I would love to see stats of players(which currently mods/admins can see) where it shows who has most artic and dumper missions etc... for public. Also maps should be updated. There's no Milestone and Sandus Key.

What about the ability to talk to people from the server to the website? I have no idea what anything means anymore, all I know is changes to website functions. People get on this lol

Already exists sort of. Admins can do this already to a certain degree

Can we have sessions saved in cookies? Just like Facebook, etc so, our connection won't be randomly lost/timed out.
It's really annoying that you have enter your details every time you wanna check a player stats or when you refresh the page after 10-15 mins.
I hope it's not something that difficult or we can drop this idea.

I'm all for moving from $_SESSION to $_COOKIE. We can set it down to specific pages, or all of them. That's PHP based though and ive not really looked at the current source code. The framework(s) CT's switching to/adopting has it.

Edit: Mick, if there's any staff section suggestions can i be made aware of them at least? since i'm no longer mod, it'd be nice to still do stuff for the staff team however. Via PM if you like preferably since i get emails when i get PM'd

@Dobby, you should have access to the web dev board, you can post there

You should remove the "San Andreas News" from site, the last post there was in 2012 no one seems to care about it anymore.

I think it's already done.

If i want to bring a new life to san andreas news, who do i need to contact?

Dobby · April 25, 2015, 11:06

Likely Migs, DeHavilland or R16RACA since they're on the "about us" page.

Yes, it will have to be redone after the website update.

I would like to see a more modern look to it.
And it would be nice if you could see a picture of a vehicle in House and vehicles menu or even the posibility to upload your own pocture of your car, and a more detailed statistic.
And the map should be updated as well.
