Today I released version 1.7.11 of the RO PHP Destination Guide. It automatically clears its cache as soon you update the CSV file with the destinations. In addition, some optimizations and bugfixes. Test and download it here.

A list of all changes:

• v1.7.0: Cache gets cleared as soon as you update the destination .csv file

In the latest release v.1.6 a new feature has been added, which automatically generates proper cropped and scaled thumbnails of your destination images. That makes your workflow a bit easier and the Destination Guide loading much faster. You can place JPG, PNG and even BMP into the image folder. Test and download it here.

• v1.6.4: readme.txt: updated
• v1.6.3: destination-guide.ini.php: Corrected one wrong default value

  (no additional colon behind output SLURL)
• v1.6.0: Images are now being cropped and scaled to cached thumbnails
  •   can read jpg, png and bmp files
  •   if files in 'images' already at proper size, they will be used unchanged
  •   if files in 'images' are being overwritten, thumnails update too
  •   can write jpg, png and webp (webp should be avoided for now)

Some weeks back I published the RO PHP Destination Guide, a PHP script, which generates a Destination Guide by reading data from a CSV file. You can use it either for your OpenSimulator based grid, or simply apply it to your viewer. In any case you need a web server or webspace supporting PHP.

Feel free to test and download it here.

All photos until today are uploaded. The script in the background got optimized, so the pictures should appear in Google Image Search soon. Further improvements will come.

Some new photos taken this April can be found in the Gallery.

In the past I had all my photos hosted by one of those many photo sharing communities, but their servers ate each photo within a short time, so I decided to host them here on my own domain. You can find my photos in the Gallery. The descriptions are still missing, but will be added one by one.

This website usues partially a Content Management System (CMS) I wrote myself - it offers an event calendar, guestbook, news feed, gallery and some more features.

A new article about Fixing Errors On Mesh Upload has been added. Previously it has been shared in-world as a note card. But from now on I will host it here only. Check it for updates if you run in any problem with your mesh uploads.
