New Look for CIRCLEKF.COM
« on: November 19, 2014, 01:55:23 PM »
Rewriting CIRCLEKF.COM --  Wanted to be able to access the scanned manuals and information it contains while in the garage or at a car show from my Smart Phone or Tablet.  Turns out it works pretty well from a desktop computer as well.
This time it is all one site ... not a collection of 10 sites.  No giant PDFs ... all High res JPGs with smaller preview icons in front of the HIGH res stuff.  All done with a web language called PHP instead of HTML.  PHP is more database driven and I can maintain the content through the site instead of loading static HTML pages.  You might have noticed this Forum is written in the PHP Language.

Be sure and use the filters at the top of the site to expand and/or narrow down your searching and click on the graphics (icons) to drill down to the details you are looking for.  Hope you find it useful.

Very open to new ideas and suggestions for additional content!
Travel On,  Jim

Works on my Motorola smart phone. Just don't use all cap letters when you type it in.

BAD NEWS - I am having trouble with CIRCLEKF.COM.  The programming language I use on the site is "PHP" and some of the instructions I regularly utilize to access my KFW databases have been changed as it was upgraded by my host.  I will be fixing the site but it will take time.  Stay tuned please.

I will notify everyone once the site is up and functional again - if anyone is interested.

GOOD NEWS -  ;D - The troubles with CIRCLEKF.COM appear to be resolved. 
Please notify me if you are still having issues with the site.

We believe the basic structure of the site is now functional but we have lots of plans for further functionality.

As there are only so many hours available for development and content expansion we invite everyone to voice where they think the site should go and content they wish to have available.

Been working on content ...  The first one hundred Service Bulletins have been scanned and are now online in the Service Dept.  Let me know if you need assistance getting there.   Only three or four hundred more to go.

Added a new MAJOR GROUP filter into the Source document Detail List.  Give it a try.
By the way ... Service Bulletins are now online up to 199!
