The thread that I was using to discuss progress on the new system has gone AWOL, so I'll use this thread instead..!


Most of the work which goes on 'behind the scenes' to make this system work is now complete, and I am now in a position to update the fleet lists again. As with the original fleet history section we had, Go North East's fleet list will be the guinea pig, and if it works, it'll be rolled out universally.

I have to go through all of the old history sections one by one and put them into the new format, which I am currently in the process of doing. My plan at the moment is to work on newest in the fleet to the oldest. As you can see here, there's a few issues we need to stamp out (the two notes for April are in the wrong order as the date for both is 01/04/2015 - but I can't edit this yet), and the styling of each fleet vehicle record is yet to be sorted out. The large photo on each fleet record will now link back to the original photo on Flickr, and everything is in place to allow each history item to have a photograph attached to it too. The Wi-Fi / Next Stop / Power Socket icons will be white too.

Next on the agenda will be to hook it up to the news page, but Liam only really has time to work on this system on Sundays, so may take a few more weeks yet.
