Matts Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) http://ep-register.uk/ I have now finished the base of the site it is now fully functional! Please feel free to give it a shot and let me know what you think! I have still got to add features such as adding your build thread and history of your car along with more images but all in good time! I will also be allowing users to repeatedly update their vehicles hence why you need to register an account! The first 4 vehicles are using randomly generated information and images from google just for test purposes until we get some entries then i will delete those first 4! Please note VIN is optional and your registration is masked! (If you would prefer the reg unmasked i will add an option for those that do!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After stumbling upon this thread whilst searching around i decided from reading the replies in the thread that i would put a mobile friendly site/app together so that us ep users can share information about our cars. Original thread: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/86730-how-many-glanza-left-out-there Im thinking about allowing users to input their registration (which will be masked and only be used when searched for) and make/model along with some information/history and a picture so users can search for a registration and bring up the information on it I.E. build threads, pictures basically any information you provide on your car! Each car will have a dedicated page with the information you provide! It may come in usefull when lets say someone goes to purchase an EP they could search the registration and hopefully find out its history or atleast some information! It also has other benefits such as keeping track of the number of eps in the UK or atleast however many we get inserted! It's desktop and mobile friendly.

Cammy R Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Great idea, year of import would be a good touch as well as the time period you owned it for Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes mate, nice site. What are you using to host it? I've been hosting my website on my Raspberry Pi It looks good, I wonder if you could use a sub domain of ukstarletowners since that's free. My domain, www.dt125r.co.uk, allows me to put allocate www with something else for free. So the site I will be hosting on my pi is currently beta.dt125r.co.uk Maybe it would be possible to have carreg.ukstarletowners.com.Or whatever. EP-Reg is good too, just saves you paying for a domain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrozenJakalope Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Ahaha, registered then realised it was for imports and not UKDM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If this keeps on getting developed we can build it into ukso... Need to add. Current Status imo... Dead/Scrapped. Current owner. and a way for new owners to get existing posts ammended.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Do the DVLA or Government have a Vehicle Enquiry api? Use that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Do the DVLA or Government have a Vehicle Enquiry api? Use that. Being imports and NO UK Equivalent... What would you search for? I know when you reg check my car you get Toyota 1.3 and thats it... I think the API costs you per time used... but not 100% sure tim! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EP-Reg is good too, just saves you paying for a domain. Thanks man, it's currently hosted on a low traffic droplet over at DigitalOcean. It if starts using more resources as it gains users i will upgrade the package. A subdomain would be good! Ahaha, registered then realised it was for imports and not UKDM. It would be possible for me to create a uk specific section of the site, if this is something that would help!? If this keeps on getting developed we can build it into ukso... Need to add. Current Status imo... Dead/Scrapped. Current owner. and a way for new owners to get existing posts ammended.... Thanks socks, i will continue to develop it! so we can talk it over if you like. Thats a good idea, i'll implement that today/tonight around work. I'll add the functionality for new owners to amend entries also! Any other ideas would be appreciated Do the DVLA or Government have a Vehicle Enquiry api? Use that. This is something i could look into but as Socks said import ep's dont really return a great deal when searched for also i imagine that the api would required payment to use! I do have something in mind however! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was thinking more along the lines of finding out if the car has current MOT, Insurance and TAX, I think that's free information but would need to check. It's not clear how to add a car, I assume I'd need to register to do so? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matts Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was thinking more along the lines of finding out if the car has current MOT, Insurance and TAX, I think that's free information but would need to check. It's not clear how to add a car, I assume I'd need to register to do so? Yes, i had to require users create an account to add their vehicles mainly for functionality so that they can amended their vehicles in future and have ownership over their entry! The users system is fully encrypted and hashed on the back end so no user has to worry about their data being at risk! I think that is something i could add, there are .gov services online to check mot, tax and so forth im sure i could write something to communicate with those services! Keep an eye on this thread i will start implementing these suggestions tonight/tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrozenJakalope Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 To be fair, UKDM starlets are cheap and kinda pointless. With a few rare exceptions like Rob Hs and Mikeys they're not worth tracking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieLewby Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 To be fair, UKDM starlets are cheap and kinda pointless. With a few rare exceptions like Rob Hs and Mikeys they're not worth tracking. theres still not very many when compared to other cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan walker Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 What arre you thinking about doing about build thread? Somewhere to have a link over to ukso or wherever your build thread is or just generally paste the full build thread into a box? Oh and seems like a good idea by the way well done matey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've just made an update now once you enter your reg and click find it will get the year of import and the colour, so far it is appearing a little harder to get further information on imports!
