This is only a 5 pages site, could easily be done up in static pages. But I still used phpwcms to build it. For three reasons:

1. I really wanted to check out the dev release in a pratical manner
2. I want to get really comfortable with phpwcms (its better to be the best in one field then to be average in various fields)
3. We need more phpwcms sites

Hence ladies and gentlements, may I present the soon to be launched:
http://turntechprecision.com/index.php

The site was built in 12 hours (it could be a lot faster if I hadn't toyed around much with the new features, especially the content anywhere that took me a while to figure out -> applied on main page)

Nothing much about the design as I used template, if it interests you, this is the original template.

The only thing I'm proud to flaunt is the CSS navigation that uses sliding door technique, which, highlights the current tab by checking the category ID.

Talk about the experience with Dev release I have only one word:
SUPERB!

The only thing I have to complain is the extra <BR> tags that generated from no where (see the gap between the image and the address box on the right). I hope Mr Oliver can shed some lights on this?

The site will be presented to client for review, if no changes, it should go live in couple of days. See, not even the owner has seen the site and you guys are already looking at it :)

Dont know, but can it be the reason why:

Since i have changed the code that way, i have no unwanted <br />s in my rendered code

PS
If you are using the HTML-contentpart i'm shure... that's the reason

Oh yes pepe, I was supposed to feedback with my finding on the method you suggested. It did get rid of the BR tags on one hand, it has somehow created problems on the other hand: some leer.gif were left dangling here and there on my site. Quite frustrating.

Because of glitches as such, my attempt to turn my the other site (deanloh.com) to a fully CSS site was not realised. There are simply too many tables and leers lying around. Nonetheless, I still think phpwcms is good.

Hi deanloh,

i'm absolutly shure, you have had a look into the

conf.template_default.inc.php
there you can find many many leer.gif s

I have changed most of them, by using DIVs... not in my own homepage, but in the HP of friends. And it looks good, not perfect, but much better

Example before changing:

Code: Select all

$template_default["article"]["image_caption_before"] 
= '<img src="img/leer.gif" width="1" height="3" alt="" /><br>';

$template_default["article"]["image_caption_after"]  
= '<br><img src="img/leer.gif" width="1" height="3" alt="" />';

Example after changing:

Code: Select all

$template_default["article"]["image_caption_before"] 
= '<div style="padding:3px 0px 3px 0px;">';

$template_default["article"]["image_caption_after"]  
= '</div>';

deanloh,

Misspelling of engineering ("engineerinh") in third line of the Welcome message on the main page. The extended version on the "About Us" page is correct.

Looks good.

tyr, thanks heaps for pointing that out. Who needs a spellchecker when we have people like you? ;)
