I concur - looks like we really like the show and want others to like it too like that. I like the Take Me - simple change but nice touch!

The old shows do not have a rating but for the new ones where there a scores in the post ep discussion perhaps that they could be added - so you'd get a priority sequence of the best shows in the series. ...

Or you could give them you own rating. ...

Very cool Viper images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Do you need some kiind of help in getting pictures or something? I thouth that for each episode a GIF that had three or four images of the episode ( EX: 10X03 - one pic of the Rolls , another of the Ferrari, one of the Peel and another of the veyron)

I dunno how easy it'd be to pull that information from the forums, but I'll definitely look into it as that's a good idea. images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm taking from them the Wiki. Some episodes are missing screenshots though (minus season 8 which Cruzz did for me) so you are welcome to do those. images/smilies/smile.gif

I figured one image was good enough, plus it'd be even more work using a GIF. Plus I think it'd look weird which it animated especially with the multiple images (they wouldn't change at the same time on the first page load).

What about that feature where it's a static image until you mouse over it, and it cycles through a few different images? I can't remember how it's done, but I know it's possible...

The Chad · July 27th, 2008, 11:37 PM

I like this new layout a lot. No need to get really fancy, but the screen shots help in visually identifying which episodes you are looking for (if you have an idea of what you are searching for).

Yeah, that's possible and I could do it, but it just makes for a lot more work to maintain the site with not much of a payoff.

Too true. I've never done it myself, cause i'm lazy and a static .png normally works fine, but I was getting my thoughts out. images/smilies/wink.gif

Check the Wiki. images/smilies/wink.gif

If an episode is missing a page or a screenshot (minus season 8), then by all means make some screenshots (one per segment). images/smilies/biggrin.gif

GT - R · July 28th, 2008, 04:19 PM

The ones you need are the ones that have no episode discription right?

I can help you from season 1 to season 11 but the old top gear i dont have the episodes :/

BTW you need season 11 pics?

kyoru · July 28th, 2008, 09:01 PM

the pictures on the left look awesome, great job images/smilies/smile.gif

I think the header image should be different though.

matt2000 · July 28th, 2008, 11:16 PM

Looking very good Viper, I've added screencaps for 09x04 now, and will continues with 09x05 upwards when I get time. images/smilies/smile.gif

I went through the Wiki and if the article existed for the episode and the article had a screenshot, I used it.

That can wait though as I have placeholders. Then it'll be easy to see what's missing.

Correct, there are no articles or screenshots for season 11.

You could even make the articles for season 11 if you wanted to (only if you wanted to, it's fine if not). Just copy/paste the contents of like a season 10 article and edit it. images/smilies/smile.gif

Ratings are just randomly generated scores for use as placeholders. They'll be replaced with scores pulled from the forums assuming I can figure out how to do it...

Should be doable, just pull the poll's results from the DB, and generate an average.

I was hoping to use the vB API, but it's poorly documented.

Otherwise I have to open up a whole new database connection with different credentials, query, etc. I just checked out the table structure though and it wouldn't be too bad. Just one row + an explode().
