New Site Details

OK so I barely managed to get it to work but here's what it'll look like.

TOMUCHWORK!:

aww yea^ that looks awesome

Wow that looks really similar to the old site.

And now for the Top 10 thing on the index page:

Spoiler:

This was as close I could get to it without taking days to rewrite a script into a format that AuotMOD can understand and use. It's Flash based so I don't recommend using it.

if you can, these things would be great

1. recent announcements posted
2. recent tracks posted
3. recent featured movies
3. recent topics (forum wide) posted

Don't bother with anything else (new users, recent replies, top viewed, largest threads, top posters, etc.)

Awards screenshot looks great but it doesn't seem to be installed on the site...

also, here's a gallery of fail for you:

Spoiler:

This is only the worst stuff, there are some other things that bug me but I can live with for now.

Wow guys, it's looking really good, keep it up!

1. recent announcements posted - Couldn't find it.
2. recent tracks posted - Might have found it.
3. recent featured movies - Couldn't find it.
3. recent topics (forum wide) posted - Found it.

Since track are going to be posted as threads or topics, we could just modify the Recent Topics Mod to show tracks. We might also be able to do that with the Announcements but IDK. And the modifying would have to be done by someone else cuz I absolutely blow at PHP.


EDIT: But I did manage to get this:

Code:


//Display recent Anouncements
    function recent_announce()
    {
        global $db, $template;
        $max_topics = 5;

        $sql = 'SELECT topic_title, forum_id, topic_id
            FROM ' . TOPICS_TABLE . '
            WHERE topic_status <> 2
                AND topic_approved = 1
                AND (topic_type = 2 OR topic_type = 3)
            ORDER BY topic_time DESC';
        $result = $db->sql_query_limit($sql, $max_topics);

        while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
        {
            $template->assign_block_vars('latest_announcements', array(
                'TITLE'                => censor_text($row['topic_title']),
                'U_VIEW_TOPIC'        => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", "f={$row['forum_id']}&amp;t={$row['topic_id']}"))
            );
        }
        $db->sql_freeresult($result);
    } 


Then the HTML:

Code:


    <div class="panel bg2">
        <div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
        <h3>{L_RECENT_ANNOUNCE}</h3>
        <!-- BEGIN latest_announcements -->
            <a href="{latest_announcements.U_VIEW_TOPIC}">{latest_announcements.TITLE}</a><br />
        <!-- BEGINELSE -->
            {L_NO_RECENT_ANNOUNCEMENTS}
        <!-- END latest_announcements -->
        <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
    </div>


And in the language file:

Code:


'RECENT_ANNOUNCE'                => 'Recent Announcements',
'NO_RECENT_ANNOUNCEMENTS'  => 'Sorry, there were no announcements found',


It shows up on my test forum with no errors at all but after I post some announcements, it still says Sorry, there were no announcements found. Can anyone help me?

OK guys, I uploaded a test forum so I don't have to keep posting screen shots every time I wanna show you something.

I forgot to tell you guys, phpBB 3.0.9 just came out. WRtL is on 3.0.8. Should we upgrade it? When I upgraded on my forums it didn't SEEM to change anything except the Mods. We have like 3-4 installed so IDK if it'll be that much of a problem. It screwed me over when I did it, but as I've been told by countless people (ily <3) I'm inexperienced

Why Dan Saunders? Reminded me of Ben and Dean Saunders

OK so I've done all I can. I've finished everything that I could in the UCP, and I just added the pollbars. It'll be a tiny bit different than old IRtL but it'll still look similar. The poll box/holder/whatever it's called, isn't skinned cuz I don't feel like converting the whole thing to a table :| Anyway yeah, I won't be working on the site any longer. The last few bits are all for TB and RevO (If they even remember about the site...)

I can't skin phpbb, it would take me to long to learn the skining system and I am busy with web clients trying to keep my vps up and online.

Also so MSX you are totally done with all you can do?

Oh ok then, I understand. And yeah pretty much. I might be able to do a few things if you guys find anything unfinished.

If you're reffering to Lukking... You need to do some research on quirk history. Kbai.


EDIT: Never mind the fact that I get distracted from the tiny letters.

You're so lucky I noticed the jk, jk

As for the site, I'm not sure. I'd like to think it'll be done by the end of the month but IDK. You should ask TB because he's in charge of the rest of the site.

END OF THE MONTH? NOT FAST ENOUGH IM LEAVING BYE
NOT JK

Good riddance

Just a heads up, before the site opens, I will be switching vps providers due to me not wanting/and not being able to afford $50 a month anymore.

So...
._.

I don't believe we will be moving.

We might as well trash the site. It's a lost cause now.
