NewEnglandRally.com was a volunteer project that I worked on. I worked with the client to design a site that would work for them, and then coded it all. I used HTML, CSS, Javasript, Jquery, and PHP. I also installed and customized a forum for them.
Some of the most techincal parts of this site are: several image galleries from past events, a sign up form, and participant pages that are generated by user submitted information.
The participant pages function very similarly to the McGrath form. A user signs in and are taken to a form. There they are asked a series of questions and can enter any information they want. When they save the form their answers are saved in a database. Then their participant page is created. When the page is created it parses the inputted information to turn their responses into an image gallery, paragraphs, unordered lists, and a variaty of other elements on the page. If the user has not entered information for an element then that element is not displayed on the page. If a user does not enter any information, then their page does not show up in the list of participant pages. This is all achieved using PHP
The forum uses the open source forum software phpBB. It was installed on New England Rally's server and slightly customized to brand it with the New England Rally information and include their sponsors. I also changed some of the functionality of the forum to better fit the client's needs.
