New idea
« on: June 21, 2009, 06:30:04 PM »
Got a truly genius idea for a website. But I need to... well learn everything first.
So basics I need a site that will allow people to upload a video (where is this stored). The video is not available to everyone but only gets released after something happens. Erm it may be easier if I just tell someone what my idea is and then get some advice. Any takers?

      yes that you are, its the basic basic for constructing sites.  Alot if not all have it with other codes in them to give it more of a flare.

        HTML, CSS, JavaScript. In this case you'll probably need your own domain and host, for server site script in PHP, ASP or what-not. Not a simple undertaking.

        Essentially what you propose is a youtube with a slight change to allow for specific release dates. In fact this might already be a feature of youtube anyway. Best to look into that.

          forgot about CSS, I know it generates an html embed code that allow you to kind of link it to there an shows the video in your pages.

          well, yes, but mulreay's idea seems to be very similar, (uploading videos and so forth) with the addition of the "time to release" modifier.

          As Squall hinted in his first post- if you want somebody to do this for you- your not going to get it for free.

          Cheers BC. Before I go running around and use this CD I have for basic web design. Quick query my idea is not like youtube but now you mention it, it does have similar qualities. Where and how is the information stored? I mean youtube surely cannot store the TerraBytes involved with the content on there.

            The places that host it will give you a set space.

            Unless you really REALLY want the pain of doing this from scratch, you could consider a CMS like Drupal, which has an "actions" module that allows content to be published after some specified event takes place.
