Okay, the creator of this little item is somewhat misinformed, but you’ve got to give credit for doing it in the first place. Click on the pic to go to the original page.

Member’s Cars page completed

I’ve completed the rejigged Member’s Cars page – as I say in the intro, I realise a fair bit of this info may be out of date so please let me know if you know any info on the cars.

Registration

OK, I know this is potentially an almighty PITA, but currently there is no synchronization between your user registrations on this new site, the forum and the shop. This is because they are three entirely different applications on three different databases.

I hope there’ll be a way round this in the future (some clever person needs to write a natty piece of code) but for now, to aid your memory if nothing else, it would probably be a good idea to use the same name and password for all if possible (the shop doesn’t have a Username as such, it just uses your email address.)

On another note, if you are a Triumph 2000 2500 2.5 Register member, please let me know your membership number, address and name after you’ve registered on the site and I’ll make sure you’re designated as such on this new site. This will allow you to see stuff that non-members can’t. Not that there’s anything to see yet. While we’re on the subject, if there is anything you’d like to see in this restricted area, let me know.

We're live - please excuse the disruption

Well, I’ve decided to put this as yet unfinished site live, replacing the old Register site (which is still available here). I think it’s better to put this site live than leave the old one which as got quite a lot of out of date information on it. Critical static content, such as Member’s Cars, Classified Ads, Technical Info, and so on, will be updated at the earliest opportunity. The thing is, keep coming back as I’ll be adding stuff on a regular basis.
If you have any comments about the site, contact me at the usual email address, or I’m going to leave this post open for commenting to see how it goes.

New Register website under construction

I’ve finally settled on the system I’m going to use to build the Triumph 2000 2500 2.5 Website: This one (WordPress). A bit of a cop-out really. I tried a number of CMS packages, including Joomla!, Drupal, CMSMS, etc., but ultimately found them too complex. I think the advantage of WordPress is that it’s extensible enough to do what we want it to do, is a lot easier to manage than full-blown CMS applications and hopefully this will lead to it being kept up to date regularly. After all, if something’s onerous to use, then it won’t get used, will it?

There’s been a couple of companies who’ve contacted us about advertising on the site. Whilst this may seem we’re dirtying our hands with unpleasant commerciality, the fact is it costs money to maintain a website. Not much, admittedly, all we have to pay for is the hosting package and domain renewals every now and again, but any money coming into the Register will help to pay for this site and other things like SIXappeal. I’ll ensure that any advertising is as unintrusive as possible.

For now, just sit back and relax. Good things are coming. Bear with me while I populate the static pages with essential items from the old site, once this is done we’ll start getting some new stuff on here.

Don't worry

Hi,
I know this looks a bit strange, but hopefully this WordPress site will form the basis of the new Triumph 2000 2500 2.5 Register website.
You can still access the old site here, and this new site will disappear and reappear randomly over the next few weeks. Sorry for this disruption, but progress will hopefully be made.
Many thanks,
Allen
