I was trying to take a look but something went wrong on either my end or the hosts.

What exactly is this intended for?

Actually am trying to provide a system for http://nitj.ac.in to publish and share Notices on the WWW. Currently they publish the Notices as individual pages (see the right hand column when you visit the site).

Being a student of the same University, I thought to take a leap forward and provide them with some easy way to share and publish the notices ....

Okay from what I can see this looks okay but I can't evaluate the real coding until I see some kind of moderation control panel or administration control panel or both if the case may be.

That is of course if you have one. This would be where the real coding lies.

The only comment I have on the proccess so far is when you click on a genre or subject to the bottom left. You are then directed to another page in the same template. Thats fine. But when you click the code or whatever it is on the right of the listed subject or whatever it is it directs you to a page that is much more simple and has a print button.

Now my thoughts are this is for a print friendly version. But it is proven people would rather see the notices or post in the full template and then (if they want to) have a print friednly link to take them to the page that is currently being displaed.

Hello Kingben,

I opened the above mentioned link, it ask me for a username and password, how can i register here, it has the following error when i tried to open it;

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Apache/1.3.33 Server at gvkalra.freehostia.com Port 80

If i could register, i will give you feedback atleast... Additionally, Are you running PHP over CGI? if yes, you should add the .htaccess files and remove any PHP Basic authorization check in the http://gvkalra.freehostia.com/FH/home/ file.

Hello Kingben,

you should include an RSS feed in your this notice board, so that any new notice will be emailed to the subscribers, do add a facility of user registration.

If there is no notice for a department, do display, "Currently there are no notices available".

Overall look and feel is good. Put a time frame for each notice, if suppose a vacant position in a student union, must have a due date, so add a due date in that section.

I haven't had much time to check but these points made sound very constructive. I'm not to sure on the RSS point though, is it really necesary? You need to think who is going to be using the RSS fead?
