The Grand Fandango is a suite of PHP components designed to make life as a website developer easier. At present, it includes a what's new box, a what's updated box, breadcrumbs, a sitemap, a datestamper, and a navigation tool. The aim is to provide all these components in a form that is easy to drop-in-and-go, with minimal dependencies so people with basic web hosting or small-scale projects can get some automation and dynamism on their sites. This site uses all the components if you want an idea of what they look like.
Full instructions are provided in the (newly-HTMLised!) readme. Basically you extract the files to somewhere on your website, edit the userinfo.php file to match your site, copy userinfo.php, gfFunctions.php, and rssbutton.gif to your webroot, and then just use a <?php include() ?> directive to include the components where you want them.
This project is undergoing active development, and I'm releasing it in the hope of finding beta testers. If you have any ideas, want to report a bug, or just want to tell me you're finding it useful, please get in touch.
