Add Your Part Information! Options

[Coomer]

Hello,
I just finished up the code required for the site's newest feature, which is the ability to add your personal information about parts that are in the parts database.

What happens is that if you view any part in the parts database when you're logged in, you'll now see a big image on the right that you can click on to tell us about the part. When you click this image or the "Add Your Part Information" link at the bottom of the page, you will be taken to a new form where you then input where you got the part, how much you paid for the part, how much you paid for installation of the part if applicable, and any comments you have regarding the part.

Once that information is completed, you can submit the form, and although no data will be displayed on the site right now, once we have some entries in the database, we'll display the entered data on the part detail pages, which I'm sure will help many users that are looking for parts or more information on parts. Also, users will be able to see who has this part, so that they can visit their profile and see more photos of it, more information about it, etc.

So if you have parts from the parts database on your car, please take a few minutes to select some parts and enter your information about them into the database.

Thanks,
Christian Coomer

I've just completed the code that allows for members' inputted part information to be displayed on part detail pages. Full news is available on the home page of the site, and if you'd like to see a couple examples of some parts with information inputted, you can visit the links below.

So now I'm asking all of you to please add your part information if you've got any parts from the parts database on your car. It will make the parts database immensely more useful, and will be very helpful to other members.

And then hopefully someday the favor will be returned when you're trying to find the next part for your car and you can compared costs and places to buy the part, as well as read opinions on the part, all on one page.
