Some friends ran the 1st Great North Fly In last year at Eshott airfield in Northumberland. Even though the event was organised at short notice it was a great event (so I am told, unfortunately I was working that weekend) with over 100 aircraft attending during the weekend.
I was asked to design a simple website for the 2010 event and as all money raised from the event goes to the Help for Heroes Charity I was happy to oblige. You can visit the website at www.greatnorthflyin.co.uk
I was trying out a new Image Gallery for Joomla today (Simple Image Gallery from www.joomlaworks.gr – a great product, and free) when I came across a small problem. I primarily use Ubuntu Server 8.04 for my server side web development, and I discovered that the standard LAMP install within Ubuntu Server doesn’t install the GD image library.
As Simple Image Gallery uses this to produce it’s image thumbnails, I had to do a bit of digging to find the solution.
To install the required package use:-
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
Then restart your Apache server:-
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Just completed my latest website project, a caravan booking website for a colleague. Although it looks simple there is a lot of back-end logic to control caravan bookings and financial reporting. A good example of a site with quite a lot of functionality that can be developed quickly and inexpensively in Joomla.
To visit the site visit – www.caravanspinewoods.co.uk.
