Description

Private Menorca (formally MenorcanMagic) was originally written in JavaServlets/JSP and MySQL and has since been ported over to ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server. It's a promotional website for acommodation available to rent (for holidays etc.) in Menorca, in the Mediterranean.

Private Menorca is a completely bespoke/custom build web application with it's own CMS. This CMS features a login that enables an administrator, when logged in, to browse the site in 'edit' mode, rather than implement a separate admin website for editting the content, the admin edits the data directly from the site itself. When logged, in various navigation and interface elements appear that allow the administrator to edit text, edit/add/remove photos, and change prices and availability. Most of the site can be editted this way.

The admin section features a photo repository where photos can be stored to be used in other areas of the website. The photo uploader page will automatically resize the images (to scale) for the user to generate the thumbnail version of the images, so a separate thumbnail and fullsize version is stored.

Subsonic was used as an ORM.

  • @weblivz I think the petition should be resubmitted but with security stuff taken out, as that's what the response purely focused on

  • @weblivz I still think Chrome Frame can come to the rescue here, still keep their old browsers + legacy systems, no retraining costs etc.
