This is the first of many websites I will be making in PHPwcms

http://magicomm.biz/index.phtml

I'm eventually going to add a blog and forum to it as well as front end login however I'm torn between adding the functionality with modules or waiting for a new release. I will probably resort to PHPBB for the forum unless anyone has a better solution.

I also had to create my own replacement tag for the file list template so i could display the info that was typed in through the backend.

I also changed the calendar mod a bit so that it displayed events for the whole year.

I really like this site. Great use of colour, graphics and images. Nice work.

Did you create a new template for each category so the left nav will display each sub category? I tried nav setlevel ages ago but haven't used it for a while, is there another way to do it now other than different templates?

Ben,

Just look here http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14273.
Lift level is the magic word.

Level lift for the vertical navigation, beginning at the first level behind :
Code:

Code: Select all

[PHP] 
if(isset($GLOBALS['LEVEL_ID'][1])) { 
$level_id = $GLOBALS['LEVEL_ID'][1]; 
echo '<div class="nlu_navi1">'.LF; 
echo '{NAV_LIST_UL:F,'.$level_id.',,act_path,active}'; 
echo '</div>'; 
} 
[/PHP] 
Greetz,

Axel

I actually did create multiple templates. At first i was just going to use one, but i wanted the freedom of being able to change the banners and look and feel of the main topics.

Thanks

I like this page. But there are some minor points which could be a little bit better (only small fixes):
  1. 1.) The headlines / H-tags. They are a little bit too strong in my opinion. It would be a little bit better if the color would not be so dark and if the font size would be a litte bit smaller.
  • 2.) Color of links: the default blue color is a little bit boring - try it with a different color.
  • 3.) Main menu (top of the page): the indicator which shows the active section is a little bit difficult to see. Perhaps you can use the 2pixel line on the top of each menu point to become a different color when the section is active.
  • 4.) Sub menu: there is no indication which section is active. :(
  • 5.) Conact form: try to format the form fields and buttons.

The design is very nice, but the header (especialy the main-navi) somehow does not fit into the rest of the design and i think you should work a bit on design of the content (link-colors, contact-form etc.).
But all in all: nice site ;)

I added a blog. I used shinypixel's blog and modded it to have a sidebar, rss feed, and tags as well as formatted urls,

I added a blog
Is it core code hacking or a module? If the latter I'd be interested!

I used his module and then edited the frontend.render and db.functions file as well as made a custom rssfeed.php. If anyone is interested id be more than happy to get it all organized and put it up somewhere.
