I just launched my Mom’s Classmate Website. The entire site project was built in PHP/MySQL using PHPR. Basically this site consists of only two database tables “classmates” and “events”. Each classmate will register on the website with their information (name, spouse’s name, address, city, state, zip, telephone, cell phone, email, current photo, short message, etc.). This information is stored in the classmates table when they register on the site. I have it coded so that only registered classmates have permission to view information on other classmates. Also, another feature I added was to allow classmates the ability to only edit their own information. I figured that this would come in handy in the event they relocated, got a new email, etc.
I have sent off an email to all of my Mom’s classmates alerting them to the new website launch and that they can come in and register now. I have tested the process a few times on my test box as well as having a few others login and try the process a few times. I think it’s ready to go, if i do hit any bugs w/ the software though I will post it back here along w/ whatever fixes, etc. I have to put into place.
Since this project is saved as a PHPR project I have the ability to go in and add other features down the road such as a Blog, Photo Gallery, etc., which I am sure we will be doing in the future as time allows.
I also just found out that there is an article published on Xline’s website that outlines a very similar project to this, this solution I did for my Mom’s website is totally custom and very different from the one mentioned on their website but if you are interested here is a link: http://www.xlinesoft.com/articles/alumni.htm?1057
