Subject: lov.li - social network built on cake
http://lov.li is online - thanks very much to the cake development team
and everyone in #cakephp for your help. lov.li is a 'community art
market' - like flickr for art, crafts and handmade products. The site
allows blogging, groups, events, image management, video uploads with
transcoding into FLV,  tagging and geocoding. I'm not finished yet, but
I am getting great feedback from the users.

The platform is ubuntu dapper drake, php5, mysql5, and cake 1.1.12.4205
on a VPS at rimuhosting.

There's no way I could have done all this in the time it took without
cake - so thanks! If you have questions about anything you see on the
site, or if you have feedback, please let me know. There are links to a
bug and feature request system on the site. (tails, a hosted RoR bug
tracking app which is nice and lightweight).

And if you have anything to post on lov.li, please do!

Patrick

Congratulations - looks and sounds impressive.

What kind of traffic are you getting?

Congrats Patrick. Looks nice..although the homepage loading is bit
slow, I found tat dragdrop.js+effects.js  took 15 sec to load. assuming
its a scriplecous stuff, if not needed at homepage u might consider
removing the reference.
nice to see such polished website build on cake.
wish you best of luck :)

Suman,
I think you're right, the nifty effect is not worth the huge load time.
I pulled it.

Not much yet, about a hundred uniques is my best day - although the
site seems really sticky, lots of pageviews/user.

This is interesting - my users are 20% mac (up from 8% on my other
sites) and 50-50 IE/firefox!! probably because most of them are friends
of mine.

Google Analytics. It uses a javascript script on your pages so it can
read all that stuff from the browser instead of relying on the web
logs. it's almost scary how much it knows. And its free.

Hey congratulations!

Is there anyway you could share with the community how you handled the
FLV trans codding?

Thanks,

Seb

Sure - I use mencoder and a directory full of codecs. I used the
command line options that this guy suggested:
http://hedges.net/archives/2006/09/05/mencoder-magic-incantation/

and they work really well. I also use mencoder to pull a thumbnail from
the video.

I had to recompile mencoder with lame support for ubuntu.

Here's the code. good luck getting mencoder working properly, I had to
ask a friend to help recompile it. Also, mencoder won't add the
metadata like length to the file so you have to do that with flvtool.
That way the player can show a progress bar.

                                // convert the video to FLV
                                $encoder = "mencoder " . $file["tmp_name"] . "  -o
../webroot/img/media/videos/"  . $this->Video->id . ".flv -of lavf -oac
mp3lame -lavcopts
vcodec=flv:vbitrate=300:cbp:mv0:mbd=2:trell:v4mv:predia=2:dia=2:last_pred=3
-vf scale=320:240,harddup -lameopts br=64 -ovc lavc -ofps 25 -srate
22050 -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames >
/tmp/encoder_log";
                                // add flv metadata

$encoder .= "; /usr/bin/flvtool2 -U ../webroot/img/media/videos/"  .
$this->Video->id . ".flv";
$encoder .= " 2>&1 &";

                                exec($encoder);
                                // make video thumbnail
                                $thumbnail = "mplayer -nosound -vo jpeg:quality=100:outdir=/tmp -ss
1 -vf scale=320:240 -frames 3 " . $file["tmp_name"];
                                exec($thumbnail);
