NagpurBirds website was launched in April 2005 as a support website for birders in Nagpur city. It was based on a modified version of Coppermine Picture gallery, at that time Coppermine served the purpose but with passing of time maintaining the script in sync with the main project become a problem and uploads had to be restricted to Admin only. Year 2012 has seen a surge in birding related activity in Nagpur and there was an urgent need to have a more modern website which was easier to use – the result is the current revamp.
The main features are
- Rewritten from scratch to satisfy bird gallery needs using CakePHP 2.x and Twitter Bootstrap
- Deep integration with Facebook as most birders from the city are preferring it as a media of interaction
- Once logged in the users can upload their own pictures
- Birding trips can be recorded and shared on Facebook
- Powerful search features
- User friendly URL, try https://nagpurbirds.org/tariquesani or https://nagpurbirds.org/bulbul or https://nagpurbirds.org/darter to understand what it means
- Admins can invite photos from Facebook users need not upload a new file
- Tablet friendly site, mobile site and perhaps an app coming soon
