KCC online info & credits
KCC online was designed, coded & built by the club's website manager Gareth Ellis. The basic design was taken
from the template "andreas08", a user-submitted design on Open Source
Web Design.
This design was then heavily modified by the website manager to incorporate the rotating random
header images at the top of each page, the blue/black check background and various other cosmetic enhancements.
The site's back-end runs off PHP & MySQL. All scripts were coded by the website manager, with a few notable exceptions (see below). The site's forum is powered by punBB, and that also has been heavily modified by the website manager to better suit the KCC website's needs.
Third-party scripts & classes used on this site:
- Random Image Rotator by Automatic Ltd (random header images)
- Swift Mailer PHP Library by Chris Corbyn (e-mail contact form script)
- PHP CAPTCHA Generation Class by Ed Eliot (e-mail contact form script)
- lastRSS PHP class by Vojtech Semecky (display of local weather from Yahoo!)
- Lightbox CSS & JavaScript by Lokesh Dhakar (overlay of full-size images on gallery pages)
- Google Maps API by Google (interactive map on map page)
