About the Project
Roping Finder is a custom website designed to help team ropers find partners and events. The site allows users to create profiles, search for partners, and find roping events in their area. The goal was to create a user-friendly platform that connects ropers with each other and provides information about upcoming events.
Challenges
Working with the creator of Roping Finder, we identified several key components that were essential for the website:
- Event Listings: A section for users to find and view upcoming roping events, including details such as date, location, and registration information.
- Responsive Design: A mobile-friendly design that ensures the site is accessible on all devices.
Building a Custom Event System
I created a custom event creation form that allows the site admin to add an event. Using cloudinary we are managing the images for the events. The form allows the admin to add a title, description, date, time, location, and an image for the event.
Some events wer multiple days so I made a custom date picker component that allows the admin to select a date and click add so they could add multiple dates or just one.
Events Listings
The events listings page displays all upcoming events in a clean and organized manner. There are two main views, one for a list style and one for a calendar view. The calendar view allows users to see events by date, while the list view provides a quick overview of all upcoming events.
Conclusion
The Roping Finder website is a valuable resource for team ropers looking to connect with partners and find events. By focusing on the key components that were essential for the site, we were able to create a platform that is both functional and user-friendly.
