You certainly can, and yes technically it's better 'integrated', which just means I have access to IPB's framework which I don't actually want. It's extremely limited, I tried it out recently. So no I'm not using IPB for the main site. I just want users integrated, and since I'll use the same table as IPB for my members, its not even integration because its the actual account being logged in. I guess you could say I'm just integrating sessions/cookies and using the same accounts :) Luckily IPB has thought of this and offers files which allow you to run functions when it deals with sessions, which is great :) I'm not entirely sure that you know what PHP is. IPB is written in PHP and therefore cannot run without it installed in your host. I'm not sure how many people are going around with their websites and hooking in their users to IPB's. When I say php framework, its a series of functions and built-in classes that I can use when writing the website which make writing it way quicker and better code. Everything is written in PHP :P Of course in order for any styling and structure you need HTML and CSS, and of course we have a database to store information so we use MySQL in PHP to get it, and finally javascript. That's another issue.. IPB is stupid and uses a stupid javascript framework :pinch: Everyone knows that JQuery is the best javascript framework... I'm really not a fan of IPB's framework, I find it rather annoying.

Voting over! Congratulations Foreverzer0.

I never found that tool very useful, probably because I view my edits live. I don't really mind the skin but if I were to make suggestions, I would remove the rmxp grass background and change the banner. Oh, and also the forum markers.

So am I :) After making a lot blog entries and posts about my future plans, they all sort of fizzled out. Since I didn't like our current theme, I would rewrite CSS and design components differently, so I need to get the site sorted before I started building it. I feel like I'm definitely on the right track now. I can write quickly, but this will take time! I need to practice more with the framework before I Start writing, after that I'll begin the new site and then hopefully I'll be able to give you a timeframe :)

Yeah there are going to be people like that. But, its a good start, not everyone has the luxury of starting a site with a proper hosting, design, domain and software.

*CPR* No one dies on my forum, especially not you bobbles. I think it's the avatar which makes it difficult to distinguish you guys, thats certainly the case with those other two. Tomo's still around I think, just not posting as much as in the past. You're going to make a competing forum project? :P I like this idea. If there were competition, that would offer more incentive for the teams.

Really? Are you familiar with IPB? I actually just want to use IPB primarily for forums, so things like downloads, gallery, etc. should be written on the website. We are more than community :) I was I took php classes :P i would if my uni had php-specific course. I gotta learn the old fashion way.. :P @rgangsta: Yeah I know... I will work really hard to fix it!

Oh hi. I thought I would update you on the future plans I have for the rmxpu website... Joomla is great open source software, however it has a several flaws. The main one for me is speed. Joomla tries to accompany everyone and therefore it has far too much unnecessary code and functions, etc. It also has a lot of limitations because you have to use their framework. The user-integration is rather inefficient and there no alternatives (in fact few sites are able to establish user-integration between these softwares). Speed is a pretty issue at the moment that needs to be addressed: So we are ditching joomla. Instead I'm going to write the individual sections of the website myself using a very speedy php framework. It's a very quick and powerful framework with few it any limitations. So what will be the major differences from now? First of all faster and better integrated, but no major differences in function as I already write most of the stuff you see on the website anyway. To be perfectly honest I have not looked too far into user integration, but I'm 100% confident I can do it. With joomla there are 3 database tables: IPB member table, a joomla member table, and a user map connecting these two tables establishing the connection for integration. Therefore, 14,000 members = 3 x 14,000 = 42,000 database rows. The site will simply use the IPB member table. Lastly I have an amazing theme-integration idea. IPB and website themes are very annoying - you have to theme both softwares to get them to look the same which poses its own issues and inefficiencies. I plan to load IPB within the websites base template, which would be perfect integration. I haven't figured out how to do it but I believe I will be able to do it meaning when I edit the theme I can alter 1 file which will alter the HTML globally. It should be good :)

Rgangsta and solshadow kinda are similar though somehow.. Just like Broken Messiah and Nisage, I have to stop and think which is which sometimes :P Welcome back solshadow! Hope you find some time for us 2D people.. :acute:

If they do not then its not 'true' love, is it? That's probably a cultural thing too I think. Or maybe more so when they are slightly older. As a teenager that wasn't really the case.

Indeed we are. You know what I was thinking, having affiliated members in their own group so they can post in an 'affiliate news' forum.

I was unaware the recent posts hook showed topics from the staff forum.. though I shouldn't be since I recently rewrote the query for it. You just don't have permission to see staff topics, as you're not staff ;) Bet the 'Forum changes' must make you o so curious? :P

cool story

Someone should buy this domain for a game making site:

No it's not! Just get your stuff out there and people will read them. Unless you are saying yours are inferior. Not everyone is going to use this site for tutorials.

I think he said that because no one replied in this topic for a couple hours there. At least if you post, we will answer :)

Well if I had 1 trillion people saying anything...then I wouldn't get my dollar, would I? :P We are a small group, but we get things done.

I also met you on chat :) Welcome to the forums. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that ;)

Yeah but a little late don't you think? They shouldve done this years ago.

Same version as me. I'm working on it now lol but I'll head to bed soon coz i got class in 7 hours minus a 30 minute drive. So are you sure you can't use JQuery? Just checking :D In the real world, you just wouldn't use this code.. oh and also, it will be real obvious if you pasted in code you got from websites. Is that ok? I mean, finding a solution for this by yourself requires an expert, so surely that wouldn't be the case. However, maybe we should look for an alternate to getElementById. Back to google!

Yes, IE is shit. What version are you using? I shall google regarding getElementbyID in IE. Hope thats the bit that doesn't work..

You see that line I told you to replace? You didn't copy it right :P You have 2 d's there. I copied that entire code and went through all the variables only to find the typo being the issue... lol
