Bidding Time:
22/09/2004 05:43 - 06/10/2004 05:43
Budget:
N/A
Status:
Closed

Job Type:
PHP, Website Design, Perl/CGI, ASP
Description:



Need an efficient, secure CMS to ensure a smooth day-to-day running of a busy
online magazine / music DJ community . In general, the site should be run on
it's own, supported by user contributions, and requiring very low-maintenance by
the administrators.

Design & Graphics will be provided by a designer.
EXISTING SITE
Website is an online magazine for female DJs, and also producers & vocalists.
The site has various music info on it – reviews, articles, music, etc…..all
submitted by site visitors using a basic CGI mail form and updated ‘by hand' in
HTML by the administrator (which has become too much maintenance and we now need
it to function on a CMS database). Currently, there is a database which creates
only the following pages :
DJ pages
A list of DJs are sorted by area - N.America, S.America, Europe, Asia, Africa .
DJs names are listed alphabetically and link to their own personal page -- DJs
can register and upload their own DJ profile.
Individual DJ Profile pages
A user's own ‘microsite' / profile page allows them to upload their personal
information and photo. This can be added/updated without permission by
administrators/moderators. Anyone can upload his or her own profile page at any
time.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENT NEEDED:
Overall, I'd like to keep the above running relatively the same as it is now
but would like to add the following to the CMS for the rest of the site :
Content Submissions – Articles, reviews, etc can be submitted by users by
filling in a form on the site. The user can preview their submission (style
sheets should be applied to the form field consistently and according to the
look and feel of the pages), before they ‘submit for review'. There should also
be the option to ‘preview' your submission first.
Moderator Review – each submission should be submitted to a ‘waiting area'
where moderators/admin can edit and allow the submission and publish it to the
site. Admin reviews should occur for all content - (but does not occur for the
DJ profile pages - these should continue to be updateable without permission –
but admin should be able to edit/delete them at any time).
DJs Database
Should be listed the same as now, but perhaps instead of all on one page, each
region can have it's own page -- N.America - it's own page, S.America - it's own
page, Europe- it's own page….etc…
Also, it will be imperative that the DJs' names will hyperlink to their profile
page wherever/whenever their name occurs anywhere on the site (particularly when
they submit content, i.e “Article Whatever” written by ‘dj name' – linking to
their profile page).
User/DJ Profile Permissions
A user can edit their profile and all aspects of their account by logging in.
A user can view the submissions they've made in the past.
Search
A search should be on every page of the site. DJs should be searchable by
location, profession, genre & name. Results should always appear in the main
table body of the current page.
Auto-mailers
Forgotten login/password mailer automatically generated and dispatched upon
user request via ‘forgot details' link.
‘Thanks for adding your profile' email dispatched when a DJ adds her profile.
‘Thanks for your submission' email dispatched when a content submission is
made.
Admin Record Keeping
I'd like to have a pretty thorough and comprehensive backend / admin area where
we can keep track of DJs profiles:
When a user adds a profile to the DJ pages, an email alert should be sent to
the main administrator(s) so we can check that the profile is legit (this is the
only area where an DJs can publish a page without permission first).
Their account signup and profile information to be organised by Region, Name,
email, date added and that can be easily organised by the administrator(s).
A total ‘headcount' of DJs should be generated on the fly with each user
profile added so that administrators know at any given time how many DJs are on
the database (on the DJs pages).
User Mailing List
Each time a girl adds herself to the DJs database her email and account
information should be added to a mailing list that we could easily access and
send emails to. The mailing list should give the option of either HTML or plain
text emails. There should be a way to decipher from the two lists / mail to the
two lists depending on what the member's mail preferences are (HTML or plain
text). At the moment, we get a lot of bounced mails b/c we send HTML formatted
mailers and most of our members have blocks against that – there is currently no
way to know who does and doesn't.
Permissions
Administrator - There should be a main administrator to set permissions across
the entire site and oversee the other moderators. Administrators can add new
administrators.
Moderators – have the ability to moderate/edit content based on what the
administrator has set their permission levels to – permissions can vary..
ADDITIONAL / HELPFUL INFO
The main content areas & their format should be :
Artists pages – as listed above
Articles – with title & subtitle styles
Interviews - – with title & subtitle styles
News - – with title & subtitle styles
Reviews – Separated into two subsections: (1) Music Reviews and (2) Event
Reviews with title & subtitle styles
Chart - data should be fed into tables with alternating coloured rows and
listed by genre, then by month
Calendar – automatically generated monthly calendar showing what's going on –
both event listings and the DJ's gig listings that come from user submissions
(example of something similar :
http://www.bust.com/cgi-bin/calendarscript/calendar.pl?template=big_display.html)

Mixes & Tracks – a straightforward list of (external) links to DJs' mixes and
producers' tracks.
Clubs – a list of clubs worldwide organised by region
SITES FOR INSPIRATION

http://www.thedjlist.com/ - very in-depth site, of course, but it's the
usability that I'd like to mimic
http://www.djpages.com/index.htm - again, a huge site, but great functionality
& usability
