Jazzbots 2.0

10.2008 | web 

Not just a revamped version of last year’s Jazzbots project, Jazzbots 2.0 includes a lots of updates and new features.
The Utah Jazz wanted to redesign their official blog to get a new look for the 2008-09 season as weel as adding a community for the fans. We redesigned the blog to give it a cleaner, Web2.0, magazine style, allowing us to display more content blocks while keeping the whole page clean and well balanced.

The blog features a Mootools-based sliding featured posts scroller, a custom YouTube sidebar widget, Flickr integration and WordPress-based upcoming games widget.

We also added a forum community to Jazzbots 2.0, based on a customized installation of PhpBB and some custom PhpBB-to-WordPress plugins. Siloos helped us in this task, taking care of the forum and plugins development.

Lastly, we were asked to develop a set of custom Flash widgets to be used on third-party websites and blogs, displaying the latest blog posts or the games schedule. Those widgets have been developed in Flash, retrieveing data in XML format, exported using a custom PHP extension.
