Cool Sites made with MGI

Link to code!	This package will produce an online invoice on your secure site. This iteration sends the client a URL to access the invoice as an error check. Customizable to the extreme! Gabrielle Laney and I collaborated on this checkout design. It was her idea that I took and ran with. This processing set contains a custom basket and a processing page that will provide a secure online invoice for you to view. It also sends the client a confirmation letter which contains a link to their invoice for viewing. Since the invoice page's URL is it's MGItoken, there is little chance that anyone could find it without knowing the actual token name, so we've set it up with a common password and URL. You could add a mechanism to change that automatically if you wished, or change it on a monthly basis. I have included a couple of tricks that I have found worthwhile on all my sites. They are: I set up my server to recognize an extension, ".intrr" that is unique to my system. This masks the software that is used to run the shopping basket. If you want to use this basket on your server, you should set the suffix mapping to allow this or your own custom suffix. Pretty easy to do on Webstar and OS X Server. When setting up large sites, I use MGIinclude for every common element. It takes longer to build initially, but makes global changes a snap. This is beer-ware. If you use it, the next time you meet either Gabrielle or Stan, you must buy us mass quantities of beer. Stan Greenspan
http://www.fjmc.org	The entire site is dynamic, driven by MGI. Store operations, pages, includes, poll - everything uses our favorite server side software. All the major elements are controlled by one file each, so global changes require only that one file to be changed. Things like colors, positions, spacing or even the entire look of the site can be adjusted almost instantly. Stan Greenspan
http://www.marblefalls.info	Entirely done with MGI. Subscriber system, Calendar, Classifieds, Forum, Article system, all MGI driven. There are also several admin pages that are not publicly available. The Weather information is pulled from the National Weather Service and parsed using MGI's regular expressions to make the weather badges and forecast information. Christopher Jett
http://www.jimhendersonrealty.com	The realty sections are all database driven using MGI. There is a password protected admin portion where the admin can manage the property listings, upload photos, etc. This also uses a combination of MGI File Upload and AppleScript to reduce the photos to the correct size when they are uploaded. Christopher Jett
http://www.sws.org/	Election system The Society of Wetland Scientists [www.sws.org] election system in was coded in mgi, it just sucessfully and almost singlehandedly (save the snail mail ballots) ran an entire regional election a week ago and it is going to be used this coming month for a national election Mike Varian
http://www.stmarysoca.org	Extensive use of MGI The announcements and background are mgi generated, a guestbook is soon coming, gets about 2-3000 hits a month Mike Varian
http://www.lettermensports.com	Extensive use of MGI This website is extremely mgi intensive utilizing it for logins, cookies, online shopping and browsing (as you can see), bg's, dynamic menus, forms, everything, also gets around 2-3000 hits/month Mike Varian
http://www.fathers4kids.org/	All MGI. Some of the subsections are entirely an MGI article system, some are static HTML and we purposely wanted to make that distinction difficult for the browser to discern. The Find A Pro system (with online application) is also MGI. The very same system drives the internet links. The threaded discussions are MGI as is the guestbook. The permissions are handled through a membership management / mass email system that is 3500 records and growing every day. Tim Stiles
http://www.ppadfw.org/	Also all MGI. Same Membership system with a modified member application method. Calendar system is MGI and, as before, most subsections of the site are driven by the same article system. I have a new, cleaner version of the threaded discussion which will be rolled into that site soon. Tim Stiles
http://www.fiana.org/	More of the same, extensive use of MGI Again, most of the site is dynamic. This one has been up and running with fewer than a dozen error message since the end of September. (error notifications are emailed to us for troubleshooting). Tim Stiles

Completely generated by MGI and I do mean completely. All functionality and the pages themselves are generated and dynamically populated by MGI. All sites feature a user management interface. I sell a complete commercial package (Net Manager Pro) that includes most functionality and I sell modules for vertical markets. You can see the general package management interface by visiting: http://demo.networldsystems.com/ Some other sites running the same package... http://www.texasbeauty.com/ - standard package. http://www.l2ranch.com/ - includes beef cattle breeder module. This site automatically shares listings and news with another site, http://www.beefmasterdirect.com/. There are several more sites that automatically share in the same way- http://www.priolabeefmasters.com/ http://www.cgbar.com/ I also have a commercial real estate (CRE) package I'm getting ready to package into a module. You can see the MGI functionality at http://www.colglazier.com/ You can excersize a demo version here: http://www.downtownsa.com/ access the controls here: http://mgi:password@www.downtownsa.com/controlPanel.mgml This is a demo site, not the real one so you can play to your heart's content. :) You can see the general package management interface by visiting: http://demo.networldsystems.com Steve Parrish
http://www.polysurfacesbookstore.com/	Cool database use The site presently uses 3 databases - two drive the 35 related topic pages. Setting up the databases employs Applescript and Bbedit grep searches to take individual text files that come in as one long string (one for each field) and formats them appropriately . . . Now if only you could script the columnize function. :-) Because of the system the client is putting together for keyword pages which will be used for pay per click submissions, the site will be sporting 8 databases in the not too distant future. Tom Irish
http://ksblinks.com	Possibly Cool. Cool is a subjective judgement, but the whole site runs on four very functional MGI Databases. Mitch Kahn
http://www.madison-scouts.org/	My personal favorite is http://www.madison-scouts.org/ which uses MGI extensively as well (I think there's something like 15 MGI databases in that domain). Right on the main page, you'll see the next 5 upcoming events, the last few "what's new" items, and a photo randomly pulled from a database. Also, the whole top and left-side navigation/content bars (all of the dark green stuff) is actually generated by a site variable, so I can change the entire look and feel of the site by changing one file. :-) Kent Shook
http://www.cbyra.org/	http://www.cbyra.org/. Local boat racing outfit. MGI handles schedule, member info, results, everything.
www.nancyhammondeditions.com	This artist's site was built using Fireworks, BBEdit, Javascript and, not least, MGI. Because the artist is all about design, we laid out the pages one at a time using Fireworks and then used MGI includes to put them where needed. Extensive use of databases, counters, email and extensive administrative functions, all made possible by MGI. C. L. Rogers
