About
Pub Gateway is a small but growing directory of pubs within the British Isles (including the Channel Islands and Isle of Man). It was started after Paul got fed up of visiting pub sites which spewed pop-under ads, auto-playing video and other tactics intended to divert attention away from content.
Pub Gateway is built using the following open source libraries:
- ADOdb for database connectivity.
- phpass for password hashing.
- Zend Framework for validation, session handling, OpenID authentication and HTTP connections.
- Twig for templates.
- flickr Lookup for pub photos.
- MaPit Lookup for geolocation data.
- jQuery for JavaScript effects.
Pub Gateway also makes use of:
- flickr for image hosting.
- Google Maps for static maps.
