With the restructuring of the Comp/Tech forums, the Webmaster's Discussion forum has been archived. You can still read all of the old threads by clicking here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38
Use this thread as a general discussion for anything related to running a website. Quick questions and tips, reviews on your sites, etc. Graphics, layouts, hosting, software... the works. If you have any questions about this thread, please be sure to send a PM to Zach or any other higher staff. |
could I get your opinion on my forum, aesthetically? http://avatarrepublic.com
|
Well your forums aren't doing too well aesthetically. You've picked a pretty nice theme to start off from, but it looks like you've gone in the complete opposite direction when it comes to your customisation. The style you chose as your base is very clean and simple looking, however your customisations look quite harsh and textured. This look could work, but only if you use a different base theme.
If I were you though, I'd get a new base theme, one that's simple and easy to edit. Look at what's going on with it, look at the colour schemes and the fonts and such and try your best to imitate them using your own themes. |
This is related to webmasters because I'm doing it as a webmaster of a website so I'm putting it here because I want to share and this chat is dead :)
I just finished creating a simple app for my job. I'm super excited because this means I'll have my own android app on the app store!! It wouldn't be helpful to anyone outside of my school though XD |
Do tell more! What sort of website are you webmastering, and what is this app called I want to see what it looks like! :D
|
I'm the webmaster for my nightclub (note the autoplaying music was done against my wishes :( ) http://legends.nd.edu/. The app basically allows you to add to the guestlist in the same way that you can do on the site, look at the calendar and the details of each event, see the 10 latest news entries, look at contact information, and access the blog/mobile site. :3 Here are some excessively large images because that's how my phone takes them, haha:
http://i.imgur.com/swnsh.png http://i.imgur.com/3fek0.png http://i.imgur.com/s8tCT.png So it's really simply designed but it does what it's supposed to do. XD; Plus a little extra that my boss didn't ask for but is icing on the cake! I don't get to show it off till Tuesday during my meeting thoughhh. |
I made a Site but is NO WHERE NEAR DONE!!
Here I need Feed Back :P (I know you guys went on it Lulz) |
Kinda bland tbh. I think you need some more colors other than gray, but that's up to you! A background picture would be nice too, but that's completely optional (just look at our forum skins :3)
Also, it's kinda overloaded with apps, so I suggest you cut down somewhat (eg the Forumotion shop tab) until you get some activity going. --- So, just asking, but what link color would complement a green (#B4E391) background? I think I have it down, but I want a second opinion. So far, I have #304030 as normal, #398235 as visited, and #395935 as hovering. do you think that's good? |
Alright, sooooooo, I've been working on a skin :3 This is gonna sound weird, but I'm trying to duplicate vB4 on vB3. Yes, I know, who in hell would want to do that :/
I don't really know, but it was an interesting thing to try so bare with me :( I can't provide a link cause the skin is hidden till now, but I have a screenshot (actually a page shot per se). Note that it is yet to be finished. The Top 5 Stats area and everything below have not been finished yet lol. Huge image incoming: Spoiler:
Also, I fixed the breadcrums so they'd be horizontally aligned, similar to vB4 and as opposed to the branched alignment in vB3. Spoiler:
As you can tell, the forum display page is still vB3 default >__> Also, this is not a second hand mimicry xD I'll be editing the forum display in the above image to match vB4, the postbits, and profiles. I'm half way through profiles. Well, quarter-way, but yeah: Spoiler:
I re-located the Username, offline/online status, rank bar, reputation and user options to the sidebar, but I still need to change the alignments to switch the two tables and then I have some graphics editing and fonts/colors what not need to be fixed. Sooo, thoughts? :/ |

You're gonna have to go through index.php, sadly. Well, not really. I mean I'm sure someone on PC knows how, they did do it after all. I'd ask Ausaudriel if I were you @genius. |

So, should I just wait until people seem interested in helping out with spam, or is there something I can do about that? Quote:
That's how I manage to make what I make, honestly. |
If it references by UserID then in theory he should still be able to pick up the different username, as long as it's a field within the same table. It's similar to the display name and username system in IPB.
|
If I remember correctly (it's been a while since I've used vBulletin), posts and threads have not only the user ID stored, but the username as well (which is one of the main reason username changes on huge forums can be a very CPU-intensive process). It's likely just referencing the stored username when showing the last post which, unfortunately, ignores your modifications to the code that retrieves a username.

And yeah, that's why changing the username borks servers. :X Because it has to go through and change every instance, instead of just the one. |
allllright. I'm kinda stuck on this one.
I was just screwing around with the css until I noticed that the main.css wouldn't change the actual .php pages unless I directly put them in there. what am I doing wrongggggggggggggggg |
Quote:
It may be an issue with something overriding your CSS later. Try adding an "!important" directive to your CSS. Now for some dumb "covering all bases" questions: Is main.css included in your page? And is another CSS file included afterwards that overrides it? |

…idk |
right. sorry to bother you guys again <3
Disregarding client-side and server-side and technical stuff like that, is it possible to use php variables in javascript and vice versa once you create the variable on either? |
