New Website
Happy Easter everyone!
I am still here, even though I have been behind on schedule with the photography selection. I should get to that this week. With Easter, being in Copenhagen, but mostly this new amazing thing I want to share with all of you.
I have been learning how to build websites and this is my first creation. It should act as a platform for World of Photography.
Find the latest selections
Get top rankings for xp, photos and contest wins
Look up stats for any profile
Still testing
Feel free to break the website as I am still in the testing phase. Most of the core functionality is working though. At the moment there is no live connecting with the bot and the website. I will be working on that this week as well as having random photos from members show up all over the website. This will be a new photo every time you load and page and the photo will be randomly selected based on the amount of XP the member has. Also community channels like @positivexposure will be getting exposure on the website.
Since I will be working a lot on the website, it might stop working form time till time
Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts about the new website
Happy easter. And great first attempt! :)
I also interested. I shared my photo. Thanks for that opportunity.
@juliank, this is amazing! I checked it out this morning and am happy to still be among the top 25 even though I only post one photo a day! Now the site is offline so I guess you are working on some improvements :) Maybe you could talk to @photogames and include them as well?
I'm curious to know what you use to interact with the Steem blockchain - I heard that SteemSQL is a popular way, but it costs a monthly fee. Or do you do it all with steem-python? Also, do you have any of your code for the website or the photocontests bot available as on Github (could be great for an utopian post as well!)? We have some plans for @travelfeed that might include a steem-python bot, a Discord bot and a website, so it would be great to have some existing open code to use ;)
I will certainly have a look at @photogames.
I use steem-python to listen in on the steem blockchain and gather the data that I want to use and maybe store. The is made with a html template and the django framework. There is a link to the template creator on the website. There is a lot of code made available via @steempytutorials that are basically tools used to make everything work.
I am currently working my way through the excellent @steempytutorials, but I couldn't get steem-python to work with Anaconda Python, so I manually installed Python 2.7.12 and have successfully upvoted from the command line using the commands from the steem-python documentation, but when I try to execute the example python scripts you provide in @steempytutorials I am getting the error message "TypeError: can not encrypt/decrypt unicode objects".
Have you read the new post about Hivemind on @steemitblog? It might actually have many of the features that can now only achieved with a steem-python bot already implemented.
For the @steempytutorials I recommend going with with settings that are recommended. I installed a new droplet from digital ocean this week for the website. As long as you follow the #0 tutorial everything will work fine.
About the unicode, you might need to set your locales.
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
Also it is good practise to run your code on a server.
I have not the red new about Hivemind yet.
I followed the tutorial and even used a digital ocean droplet myself, the only difference is that I use Debian instead of Ubuntu but since Ubuntu is based on Debian it shouldn't make any difference.. I will try it again and set the Unicode locales, I had the language settings set to fit my German keyboard so that might have messed it up, thanks for the tip!
I checked it 3 times today, on different times but I always get this :
So, at least, congratz with registering the worldofphotography.org domain ;-)
Haha thanks, it can take up to 48 hours for the domain registration to propagate through the dns server ;p
Hmm... and still...
Happy Easter:
although I was late with the selection of photography.
Great. I salute
Happy Ester dear, this is really beautiful, thanks for sharing
The website looks awesome! Cool that you integrated rankings, it's quite motivating! Happy Easter! 🙂
That is a beautiful website @juliank! Very nicely done. I am still trying to understand how to use all this, but I like how you feature the photos outside Steemit as well — it is like a "double exposure" for us!
=^..^=
Thank goodness you didnt bail on us.
Alot of whales are....
