Overview

What's MyHobbySite?

MyHobbySite is a website Content Management System (CMS) programmed in PHP and tailored specifically for collectors of live music. Like any other CMS, MyHobbySite supports page creation, file management, and dynamic text editing via a WYSIWYG editor. What makes MyHobbySite unique are the collection management features created specifically for collectors and hobbyists. As of version 1.0, MyHobbySite is meant exclusively for collectors of live music recordings, but by version 2.0 users will be able to create new collections for any type of hobby.

Features

With its built-in modules, MyHobbySite offers a wide range of features created specifically for collectors of live music recordings.

MyHobbySite provides comprehensive forms for adding and editing recording entries, which means no more editing HTML tables or messing with crappy free website services. Best of all, all information fields are optional, which means your site can be as simple or comprehensive as you want.
You can manage good and bad traders and keep track of information such as trade details and addresses.
You can add multiple screenshots and cover artwork previews.
Information pages are dynamically generated, which means once the show is added to the database no further action by the user is required to display recording information--all you have to do is fill out a form.
Recordings can be marked as hidden and will not appear on the main webiste, effectively ending the "NFT feud" while still allowing traders to keep their live recording list organized and in one piece.
Recordings are automatically organized by band and date, so you won't need to bother with organization, but you can still change the sorting options if you don't like the default sorting type, and so can website visitors.
Need help managing your website? Just add some new user accounts for your friends.
You'll have the ability to fully customize the website's frontend, so every website built using the MyHobbySite CMS can still look unique.
