Archivatory Update #007 | User Profile Cards & Media Display

The profile page now utilizes the card style from Bootstrap to display the content. We also gave the visitors the ability to view the content directly on the profile pages. This calls the file from the database and does not call on IPFS to load the data at this point in time.

User Profiles Now Display Cards and Content

After adding cards to the user's database page, the community thought it would be a great idea to have the same look on the profile pages along with the ability to view the content. The code is very similar to the cards in hashtable.php.

The above defines the variable that is used when creating the card data. The second half is there to let PHP know what types of files to allow for displaying on the user profile. (This is easily added to if needed in the future).

To echo out the correct HTML for the data types we use and if else statement to have PHP assign the correct markup to the current card that is created. If the file type is not in $images, $audio, or $videos arrays nothing will display. (Added a message for that case in the development branch).

To have the files display both at a good size and at the correct aspect ratio, I had to place the media tags in a <div style="width:100%"> and also set the media element to the same width. Every other attempt caused the media to either be too large or look quite odd.

So finally, we echo out $display with the rest of the HTML card markup to be displayed on the user profile pages.

What's Next?

Now that we have a good base for the project I am working on integrating STEEM into the service. The aim is to allow SteemConnect login, pay for pinning and other options with STEEM/SBD, and earn votes on your content directly from your user profile.

Once SteemConnect is working, and we can link your Archivatory account to your Steem account we will work on federating the service via the STEEM blockchain. With federation, if you spin up an Archivatory node, you will earn STEEM for pinning content and helping to keep the creator's hard work from disappearing.

Thanks For Using Archivatory!
