Re: Dead or Alive

Can anyone tell me where this list can be seen at? Just curious of how many are left out there. Thanks

Is this the same list as Captain Morgan's? Or is there 2 lists? Just curious. The sy # 1281 and 2734 are in the Barrett Jackson auction so they are still alive as well.

I haven't updated my list in years, just got busy and fell too far behind. Its good that people are still posting in the thread, Ive been writing down other information in preparation for the next big thing :tup:

I've added everything since Morgan's last update, and updated the page to HTML5 and CSS to make things a little simpler. There was one truck that the owner wasn't sure, so I also added an "iffy" rating. I made links to the dead trucks when available. The "last updated" time is the file's timestamp pulled dynamically, rather than just manually typing it.

I'm happy to give you the source PHP file for this (the PHP is only used for pulling the timestamp - just save the page if you want to keep it plain HTML instead). I haven't actually put any effort into it yet, but I'd love to convert it to a database to allow for dynamic counts and such.

It seemed Morgan hadn't been updating his, so I just copied it and added the latest data and some minor tweaks. My plan wasn't so much to take it over, but just make sure data wasn't lost and make it a tad bit easier to maintain. Since it's manually updated, there's not really a good way to post it on one of the major SyTy sites without giving someone direct access to the file.

It's a pretty simple setup, so it could easily be copied elsewhere and maintained by someone else. There's a single bit of PHP code inline to pull the file's timestamp so viewers can tell when it was last updated (in case it gets abandoned at some time), but otherwise it's simple HTML/CSS that I hand-edit with new data (meaning you don't need to know coding or database stuff to update it).

If someone does want to copy it in the future, http://syclone.invisibill.net/deadoralive/deadoralive.txt is a plaintext copy of the file. My webserver won't process the PHP code, so you'll see the actual PHP command in it, rather than the generated timestamp. Toss it on a webserver that can do PHP and rename the file to something.php and you should be good to go. Just edit in the class name alive/iffy/dead to get green/yellow/red, or leave it blank for white.
