You're probably right. Next question: Which of these audiences does PunBB target? big_smile

Right now the first one, but i dont think you should alienate the other one.

Re: PunCMS

ok i've been having a look at the design of it and so far i have this (valid xhtml and css works in IE and FF although looks different in them):
http://66.98.138.31/~connorhd/pundev/index.htm
and
http://66.98.138.31/~connorhd/pundev/forum.htm
what do you think? btw i'm not good at perfect (x)html and css so it might be improvable

I would make the right side blocks wider, latest forum posts will start to wrap in such a small block.

You could move login to the left, maybe add a calendar on the right, etc..

Looks good.

yeh they are just details, i'm just looking at the general design atm not where stuff will be, and i'm sure i'll integrate gizzmos calendar wink

edit: works in netscape ok, however in netscape and FF the middle box appears above the side columns and in IE it appears below not a major problem but not perfect...

edit: finally got it to line up (although 1 pixel out in IE)

hi there... me out to clarify here....
i came across this site from nucleuscms.org web, and totally fell in love with the design...
i make it a challenge to make a skin out of it (using the CSS file from this original site, and ending up modifying a few here and there), and it works as I wanted....
i'll be glad to post the skin here as soon as I managed to compile a generic version of it... big_smile

btw, thanks for visiting my site big_smile

Re: PunCMS

Paul, we're working on using another CSS scheme.
Using what Rod suggested:
http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layo … index.html

Rickard, yes this is the theme off my .org site.

Anand, I hadn't posted the skin for download because of some small IE issues with the current CSS. But it works great in Firefox, which at this point is the only one I care about ;)

You might find it easier to use the simplified version of that layout

Yes, it's using Nucleus CMS. Hopefully by next week we'll have a new CSS with 2 styles, a 1.1.5 style and a 1.2 style.

Re: PunCMS

no the forums would be a "module" although i'm not sure if they would be a compulsory module yet, i think i might separate the usersystem from the forum but i dunno since it would be better if punbb mods and plugins were either totally or very nearly totally compatible with it
structure will probably be:

/(standard files)
/admin/(main admin stuff)
/styles/(styles)
/includes/(common includes)
/modules/<module name>/(main module stuff)
/modules/<module name>/admin/(module admin)
/blocks/<block name>/(main block stuff)
/blocks/<block name>/admin/(block admin stuff)

admin for blocks and modules would be optional then blocks could be edited in admin and their layout cached and modules turned on or off in admin
forums, profile and maybe a couple of others would probably be "compulsory" modules but they might allow a disabled state so their files can be used but users cannot view them

Re: PunCMS

i been looking at some more CSS and have managed to get it working with no tables, no absolute positioning, all perfectly in line on IE, Firefox and opera anyway - http://66.98.138.31/~connorhd/pundev/

i still need to look at the 2 column layout though
