An inspiring introductory post, good job Valdred :alright: I wish you luck with the forum and look forward to seeing its development.

I'm starting to get that reputation aren't I... :( Keep in mind that in the above image I stripped the IPB of all CSS. It's still IPB :P Oh, I do plan to have my own custom made profile pages, suited for game developers. IPB profiles are too generic. Hopefully I can get RGangsta to do a banner :) That banner is a placeholder. I'm glad you like it :D I still hope to improve on it a great deal. It's a slow process creating the styling for both softwares, but the transition from when you goto the forums back to the website is seamless. Its as if the forums are a part of the website software. Thank you guys for the extra votes. It really helps me with motivation to finish things :sweatdrop:

Six votes isn't very representative, but regardless I have started converting the theme for the forums. What I'm going to show you an explain is the sidemenu system. The following has had all forum specific CSS removed to stop interference as I build the main layout. So ignore what I've crossed out: You guys may have noticed the icons have changed from the website above. Actually, no one really commented on the menu items in the sidebar. They are going to be really cool new features, particularly the dashboard which is going to be a major part of the site, and probably the starting point when you first open the page. The sidemenu is one of the main features, and it appears globally across the site so you never miss a notification. Ok lets talk integration. The breakthrough I mentioned in my status was being able to make joomla modules appear in IPB. I did achieve this, but it's efficiency is questionable. But for some reason I want to tell you guys how its done. First of all, there is syntax from joomla's API that allow you to load and display a module, given its position (which acts almost like a unqiue key) and what pages it can show up on (you just set it to show up on all pages so the module will load). You then make a component and use its raw output feature. This was mainly for ajax to make it more efficient, it just returns raw output (the html generated by the module, which is of course PHP) rather than the entire page. That's the important part. So if you have a component which only loads a module, you basically have an accessible URL that returns the modules HTML. Now all we have to do it take that html and insert it into IPB. I thought this was impossible at first, but I got it to work. I am going to make an IPB hook for this so the module is loaded faster, rather than load it via javascript in the head. Using JQuery, you can use the following code: jQuery(function(){ jQuery('#load_sidebar_here').load('http://localhost/gdu/index.php?option=com_module&view=default&id=5&format=raw'); }); The load function is actually ajax. What this does is place the returned contents of that URL, and inserts it into the following: <div id='load_sidebar_here'></div> And there you have it, joomla modules loading in IPB.

Ok GameFreak001/newgamergirl2011, there's a few rules I would like you to read. http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/rules-and-policies#alt And http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/rules-and-policies#projecttopic The minimum requirements are actually written in the rules. Do yourself a favor and update the 1st post with at least a storyline, characters, screenshots etc, if you want your project downloaded and played.

Thanks for the offer :) I could really use a nice logo down the track when I start converting this to an IPB theme.

Glad I could be of assistance :) I see we got 2 mentions in there, resources and affiliates :P

I've broken both my legs in rugby. The worst was back in Highschool where I cracked the bones in my ankle, breaking it and my leg. I had a cast all the up my leg to my upper thigh despite the break being down at my ankle. It made a beautiful cracking sound, very loud. Personally I think rugby league is the tougher sport (between rugby union and rugby league). Mute this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4bPiqBx8xI I had to rep your post kellessdee :P @isaacsol: Wilkinson used to be the man but I'm not sure England will get past the All Blacks in the world cup :P Then again, they could crumble under all the pressure they're under, having bowed out to France in the quarter final (not semi, not final, quarter) last time. Ok lets stop talking about rugby. I want to but this is one of the special topics here on RMXPU, lets keep it on-topic from now on. But if you guys want to talk rugby, we can get our own topic for that ;)

Can you use jquery? Learning that is like learning rgss before ruby. It makes writing JavaScript waaaay easier.

Happy Easter Everyone :) My family hasn't done anything for easter in so many years. We used to chocy easter eggs :biggrin_002: But we had a special dinner since its my little brothers bday on the 21st then my mums on the 22nd and also my parent anniversary. So thats 4 reasons to celebrate.

Ah awesome, you probably would have come to Christchurch which is where I live, but the games have all been moved out. I'm Not sure if Australia was scheduled to play here or not. It's too bad I won't get to see any games now, not even the league anzac test which got moved to the gold coast :( Oh well, if you guys goto Otago Stadium, my dad help build some parts of it. An All Blacks v Wallabies final would be a good one, and I hope we smash France this time :sweatdrop: Ok lets get back on topic now. I'm certain we're the only 2 members who even know what rugby is :P

I'm glad you like it :) I think you mean the bars at the sides? Those are just placeholders. You know if I post something that doesn't look good overall, people cant help but look at the overall picture. Just like the tutorials app. Right now all other engines are alienated, and we've been 'supporting' several engines for years. It's pretty clear to me that having an RMXP only forum is pointless, there is little chance of decent growth.

Well, it certainly works :) You should try getting a little more advanced with it.

Yes you're right, these day's it would be a risky operation. I guess I did infer I would change the name, but I'm not thinking about it at the moment and if I did, a theme change would come before that so its not an issue at the current point in time. If I did though, I would repurchase the domain and setup 403 redirect (which is actually what google recommends as its like being the same link) and I think with a little regex you can change all the links to the new domain with just one line. But, I don't see that happening until we increase activity a lot more to reduce the impact.

Hey guys, A while back a was working on a new site concept, basically an upgrade to this site with a new name. I only had about 3-4 hours a day to myself, and I spent a few working away on concepts, and even started developing a theme. Sadly my motivation and confidence was struck a harsh blow so I stopped it altogether. I don't mind harsh criticism. Some things, such as the banner design, footer design, and sidebars (which actually does a full a circle around the site: top, bottom and sides :pinch: ) are not really part of the final thing, just there in place of what hasn't been made yet. Oh and also, my resolution is small but I think this is fixed width. If not, it will be. I'd like you guys to vote in the poll. Menu demonstration To test the various levels of the menu system, follow this: Engines -> RPG Maker XP -> Level 3 This will show you what the menus will look like as you navigate pages through the site. But I'll make the sub-nav links to appear on mouse-over. If you don't understand that, when you roll over 'Engines' the 'RPG Maker XP' link will automatically appear instead of having to click engines to make that link show up in the sub-nav. Here it is: http://rmxpunlimited.net/gdu/engines/rpg-maker-xp/level-3 EDIT: Best to test this is firefox. I think I only added some CSS features for firefox and not IE or Opera, so things like rounded corners wont be working for this one.

Haha. Well, it is my job. I'm working on this now as I type this

Lies, I haven't let you down. Hmm, I suppose I'll go in and fix that. But I'm really keen on changing themes. You can test it here: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=search&andor_type=&sid=04dda7b72fff47a7a330c70cc939a5dd&search_term=face+maker&search_app=downloads

How did you make that album thing show up like that? :blink: The images I tested seemed to be working fine for me. But I rebuilt all of the albums just to be on the safe side.

Nice. Despite living in NZ I can't find a girl who likes her rugby. Are we talking rugby union or rugby league? Rugby league is the big thing in our household.

An upgrade should be an improvement, but not the case for us this time... Its rather disappointing.

Hmm I find that act, but it is very long and kind of complicated. I am going to assume that it is not there. I only found what types of content are prohibited, including pornography of persons under the age of 18. I just don't think they would make a law for a restriction on age to watch porn. Of course you have to be 18 to buy it, but who's going to stop you at home on your own computer? I could be wrong though. The act is nearly 200 sections I think.. it would take me an age to read all of it lol

What are these "improvements" you refer to?

I'm going to do a maintenance upgrade within a few days. The software is very buggy.
