Topic: Just wondering if someone can help me with my site

I just wanted to know if someone can help me to create an install of my site with all the mods etc. I would like to share with the community my complete website http://shedrockonline.com. The thing is, I know nothing about PHP or mySQL and I would like to create an install that would include all the plugins etc. If anyone can assist me with this, that would be awesome.

Here are a list of mods and plugins I've implemented into the site:

# Sub Forums.

# Avatars
# BBColors w/ onclick function, BBCode PHP MOD, YouTube and Google Video codes
# Send to friend
# Editor images with js tooltip on mouseover
# Quick Quote
# Multi Quote function
# Rate Topic
# Karma Mod
# User Ranks
# Country Flags
# Forum Notes

Re: Just wondering if someone can help me with my site

you'd better use another forum software if you want all these mods, there is no point using PunBB if you want everything that has not been implemented as standard

I am lost as to your reason for that. Why were the mods created in the first place? Isn't it for punBB? How many mods do you think I should have added so that there would be a "point" in using punBB?

No harm wanted. What I meant is that PunBB is designed to be a lightweight applications with the minimum necessary features. Looking a the mods you have applied, it looks like it did not meet your requirements and a forum software with most of the added features integrated as standard would have been more suit for purpose IMO.

Uhg. I dislike that karma stuff. Makes for a negative atmosphere if you ask me.

I agree, but that could be removed by anyone.

Re: Just wondering if someone can help me with my site

the quickest way is to do a sql export into a sql.txt file.

cleanout the config.php file

package it.
let people manually add it to the sql and config.php

My stuff or my style might sux, but atleast I'm willing to help when I can.

Re: Just wondering if someone can help me with my site

Thanks guys for all the help. I got it all sorted out now. tinytim from soonotes.com has done the install script and I am still in the process of testing it all out. I have made a few minor additions to it. What you ask? I added the latest theme called Maxitron to the package. I've also included PSD's for the themes and a few other little things here and there. If all goes well tonight I will release it tomorrow morning on my site. I'll also post a message here as well. big_smile

Re: Just wondering if someone can help me with my site

From your page at:

http://shedrockonline.com/forum.php

it looks like you also have a sub-forum mod happening? Or at least the show/hide categories way of getting to sub-forums.

If that's right, you may want to add that to the list of active mods.

PS - I'd 'adjust' the MSN butterfly logo a bit too. You don't want any hassles from those guys.

Re: Just wondering if someone can help me with my site

@sirena - I've added the Sub Forums to the list. You will see it and a list of all the mods/plugins during installations.

I tried it in IE6, 7 and FF and I don't see this problem but I know it is obviously there because you saw it. I just can't get it right. If I change it for one browser, then it looks like crap in another and vice versa. So far I am aware of 2 issues now. I was told that the "Read More" button looks weird in IE6 and now this. I will have to see if I can sort these issues out before I release this....arghhh....back to the drawing board. sad

You can check it out now. I think I have sorted it out with a few minor adjustments in the all the theme stylesheets. Thanks for letting me know about it. big_smile
