The Joomla! Community Showcase ™

Site Profile

Description: A travel guide to Beijing and other places around China that is community based though public, with a focus on audio-visual content submitted by members.Case Study: The aim was to create a community based website that would allow members to easily contribute content, including photos and videos, listing and events. Further, for these to be automaticly cross-referenced by both id and tags. An Ajax-based Quick Search function allows visitors to find information quickly and effectively, enhanced with auto suggest and index. Members are also able to rate articles and photos, and add comments; there is also a forum.

Members also have an extensive home page / profile which includes a blog, favorites, personal photos and videos, tweets from Twitter and Flickr feeds; as well as showing the member's recently added articles, forum posts, listings and events.

The Joomla CMS was the ideal choice for making these ideas a reality, providing a stable and flexible framework allowing for the addition of custom components.

Report

Both the thumbmail video menu and the popup video player are a really nice design and work well.
