DevLab

Things under development. From simple code snippets up to grand new sections!


Main info
Welcome to the 'under development section' of our site, DevLab in short. DevLab features a lot (if not all) ideas that we want to implement into the TerminatorFiles.com website. From little coding snippets that enhance the site interaction and useability up to full new expanded sections about specific subjects of the Terminator saga. And everything in between!

DevLab includes developments that needs your input... so don't hesitate to contact us if you've got additions to existing developments or your own specific ideas that should definately be featured on our site.

Some people say we are already very detailed, but we think we are not. Still pursuing grander things, below is a list of items we've already got laying around... to be added or developed into full-fledged web-enabled features. Included on the site, preferably sooner then later, but as with other fans in the community, we've got more things to do then this site alone (although we'd love to work on it fulltime ;). Check the list below to see what the team is up to, and see if you can check for future updates... right this instance.


««« | General
  • Intro needs more indepth links to (sub)sections
  • Intro should feature latest collectable addition/update
  • Global forum representation of total posts, members, latest post/topic (and linkage of course)

««« | Collectables
  • Collectables organised into subsections. Meaning as much as a full review for ie the entire Neca or Kenner collection. Plus inclusion of all collectables still in local databases, but never online
  • New affiliates page with feature products, 'Special offers', 'Cool products', TF affiliated products (Sideshow, Amazon, BestBuy, Vaoz, etc)
  • TFshop banner for CSS system (intro, news and collectables)
  • Rating system not unlike the one used on Gamespot.com
  • Project page of kits build or 1:1 projects of STAFFmaster Vic
  • More indepth reviewed DVDs by STAFFmember Maurice

««« | Commercial
  • Contact Action HQ (Affiliation)
  • Contact Blister (Models feature on site)
  • Contact CJ (including eBay affiliation, second attempt, what about VAT?)
  • Contact EyeTide (T3 Screensaver Pic viewer)
  • Contact HotToys (T850 feature on site)
  • Contact IN-FUSIO (Terminator mobile content on site)
  • Contact Kenner (Article for old products)
  • Contact Marushin (BB Gun Affiliation)
  • Contact Vaoz (Affiliation)
  • Research commercial viability and copyrights for TF related (collectable) products? (Holographs, tee's, mugs, mousepads etc)

««« | Databases
  • Internal (Google) searchengine for ALL content
  • Ticker with externally loaded news out of TF databases (also as desktop application?)

««« | Fangoodies
  • Screensaver which interacts with website news and other archived stuff
  • Screensaver for normal usage
  • MSN Terminator smileys and icons for download
  • Programming section with ie 'Arnie digital', 'ASCII Art', revamped 'RedTed T2 Head', Word puzzles, Memory game, (Mouse)interaction scripts for fansites build by STAFFmaster

««« | Fun
  • New Endoki character animations. Check the Merry Christmas intro in our archives to see what we mean. This should feature a monthly (weekly?) encounter with a know star or person. Not unlike the stuff found on AtomFilms.com. Or just drawn out like a comic, like the Garfield comics one finds in a newspaper (three pictures to tell a joke).

««« | Graphics
  • STAFF needs pictures and possible more in depth info
  • Link 2 us feature needs more banners (smaller/divers) and easy copy-paste form-action with linkage info/example
  • Some pages still need a main top graphic
  • Main linking pages (The.Saga etc) need possible graphical headers in between subsection topics
  • Enable more color in the GUI design (though to work intensive?)
  • Visualy pleasing Timeline graphic, with all possible abbriviations and references in it. We are thinking of making this interactive, so users can open or close certain timelines within in the graphic. Will probably end up as a Flashed file.
  • Terminator related Winks for MSN

««« | Hosting
  • External hosting for X gigs of Terminator related videos and graphics (under development)
  • External server on backbone (through current service-provider or on TUe SurfNet backbone)

««« | Interact
  • Desktop applet for interaction with website. This is a very long project; we have to take all possible computer-environments into account when making an installer.
  • Interactive mailing. (Bi?)Monthly mailing to all fans added to a list, which is interactive so people can add/delete themselfs from it. Be assured: by Dutch law we are forced to take mailingsdatabases very seriously, so when you delete yourself from our future mailing, we will NOT send you any mails anymore (not like some other sites we know or heard of). Programming this takes some time, but the initial interactive design is done.
  • Online games (Flash, Java, Applets?)
  • Platform PC game with possible added gamesserver and support
  • Reimplement better online chatsystem (was available in the past but not used that much)
  • Poll system
  • Petition system
  • Shoutbox form action for up to the minute interaction with other fans

««« | Media
  • Add image archive (under development)
  • Add/update/clean video archive (under development)
  • Add remaining articles from Michael Biehn collective
  • Add HopeOfTheFuture Simpson references to articles
  • Add Thomas' DVD differences article

««« | Sections
  • Cast/Crew fanmail addresses
  • Characters section (all cast/crew/gaming)
  • Machines section (all Terminators, also HK's?)
  • Press page feature with logo's in AI, coding-snippets, banner info affilates
  • Weapons section (all fire-arms of all movies, check already featured article)
  • Online yearly agenda with birthdays (of real and fictional characters), happenings (Judgement Days), etc
