NS Music Video Awards 2009 Screenshot
I’ve been working on another award show for one of the sites I own and run; N-S.Net. This time it’s an award show for music videos created by the fans of Chlex (Chloe Sullivan and Lex Luthor pairing from the TV series Smallville).
On the website you can see a list of nominees, read and comment on news articles, nominate a video or video maker, vote on your favourites and see the winners in each category.
Most of the action happen backstage, in the administrative control panel. The entire site, including the frontend which the normal users see, is based upon a PHP and MySQL script I’ve built from scratch by the help of tutorials and online code bits.
When an user sends in a nomination or comments on a news article, it ends up in the control panel for approval.

Here I can easily see all the nominations, in the case of the screenshot to the left, the author/maker of the video, the category in which they have been nominated in, when they were nominated and some quick controls for approved/hidden, edit and delete the entry.
All of this is stored in a mySQL database, which allows me to work more freely online, without having to manually edit files. This also allows me to have staff helping me with the day-to-day tasks such as approval of nominees and comments.
All of this is made in PHP and MySQL, and I’m always trying to make the script better, more secure and more user friendly in hopes that I can use it for more projects than just my hobby-based projects.
