Where did DogFeather designs go?!

General Discussion

This was brought up on the Framebuilders Google Group as well. I am happy to scrape the source code and host it on my website, but I wonder about getting permission from the original owner or their representative. Does anyone know how to get in touch?

For what it’s worth, it looks like the original project used only JavaScript, so it’s be easy to move that to another host.

Thanks!

I am working on the rest of the site but:

It’s on github and it’s being added to their “vault” meaning it will be reacheable even after I am gone, that said, being git you can simply clone it on your desktop (or download it for the less git-savy)

@Matt Looks like there’s a Javascript error…?

yes I have noticed some errors but not the one you are seeing, what browser are you using?
Also, is it stopping you from creating the print templates?

I’m on Chrome 113.0.5672.63 on Windows 10. I can’t create print templates – None of the form buttons appear to do anything.

I can debug further tonight when I’m at home (at work now).

Thanks!

strange, it works on Firefox on Win10. Will look into it

It should be solved now, the JS is not well written and it was preloading some elements that I had removed, in particular canvas_fatc class was missing (I deleted that tab).

Anyhow, the JS was amended and it should work fine once your browser cache reloads.
I would like to clean that code up a bit, if you have the time and want to send a PR it would be great.

Looks good! Thanks for fixing it so quickly! Where is the source code on Github? I’ll poke around in it when I get a chance.

Thank you!!!

Whops, right, it seems there is no way to get from the website to the actual hosting.

For those still searching for DogFeatherDesigns, it is available on the WaybackMachine (you may need to login/signup - it’s free).

Dog Feather Design – If you can imagine it, we can make it real. and seems to be functional.

That is a great way to use those old web sites that have seemingly disappeared.

Even better that you made a download available (cf. post 37 / April 2023)!
