Website updates

The Cavalcade Games website is a mishmash of flash, some SQL backend and wordpress. Needless to say its not cohesively designed. That will be remedied in the next couple of weeks as we have begun working on the final design modifying this theme from Woothemes.com and finally creating a games section where you can see our games, warts and all.

Some hair pulling was experienced when certain categories don’t get on the featured post (fixed by deleting the category and recreating it) and the big thumbnail feature not working. At first, I was really pissed at being denied access to the woothemes forum AFTER i bought their theme.  Imagine buying a TV with no remote and the company asking for money for the priviledge of calling their support centers. Turns out their website had a bug where even if you have logged in from their main website, going to their forum, you have to log in again. After that was sorted out, Cavalcade games finally have auto thumbnails in the front page!

Some css edits went live yesterday to tighten things up. margins and padding were reduced, fonts sizes shrunk, etc. A couple of bug involving wptouch and Wp-super cache was found and duly squashed (turned super-cache off in the meantime.)

The game page for RPL will be our top priority, it has since been sportified and its all the better for it. Our ‘warm-up’ unity game is almost ready to go out and be ravaged by apathy, pirates or 1-star reviewers. Cannot wait!
