any thing you could sugest that could go there?

last time i tried putting a few buttons, but i didnt like the look of it.
I wish to keep it looking as simplistic as possible, and fast loading.
I like its look and feel currently, most sites based around fire twirling are all black and nasty looking.

any ideas to make it more fun and exciting looking? or do you think it's ok as it is, if there was any thing to fill the header out a bit more?

thanks.

well.

I have made many changes to my sites theme and layout, since i first posted, and i think i am finally getting there.

So i have added a welcome message! telling people what the site is about, with a few helpful links at the bottom of it. and a photo of what it is that we do.
For this is a specialist subject, not many people are going to stumble accross it every day!, but i think what i have put there will suit those that do and those that are already part of the community.

So some one said it has no wow factor about it!.
I beg to disagree, i have seen many sites posted on here, with way more feed back than my thread has got, and they have been total crap, no ounce of effort into any theme design, blocks all over the index page!, looks naff.
I'm no designer compared to some of you in the dev team.
I dont know flash at all, and i put my own logo together, i did that whole logo myself in photoshop and flash, but then i used to photoshop for a living many years ago.
Im even completly new to XOOPS and still dont fully understand php, damn i hardly know html.

So all in all i think its a damn good effort for my first try and have i asked for support in the forums here? once for a DB porting query! that no one replied to that was any help but i still got the site installed, db migrated, styled and themed by myself.

So if any one has any other criticism other than my SPELLING mistakes [ask me and i might have told you i didnt get much of an education through being bullied throughout school which is why i suffered depression all my life].
Then please post!, i wanna make this the best site for my community and so far they are loving it.

Thank you to any one that can give good honest feedback.

Though i should contribute the code that i used for my website.



Just a little some thing, if people are like me and work all hours god send 7 days a week, then you forget what day it is!
enjoy, hope some one finds that helpful.

lol your diging at my spelling mistake, you got it wrong too, i had spelt it "callendar" lol that will teach me to pay attention at school.

thanks,

the icons were some thing i was playing with but didnt take them down which i have done, theres a lot of white space up there and was looking for a filler, which will probably be some thing like one of our videos, jim hensons are working on that one right now.

Well i was retyping the sites introduction but i have been so preocupied with sorting out the videos for the site, i forgot to finish it on top of my other work loads i have on right now.

so im looking for as much feed back as i can get to make this site look a whole lot better. Im open to any sugestions that any of you may have. The sites complete contents are all there.

basic run down of who we are: Fire Spinning / Circus arts community, sites been running for 3 years, we have the most sort after collection of fire twirling videos on the internet, some like myself do this for a living [i did im running a pub right now]. We organise events to meet others and push others to organise meets accross the globe.
totally all free and community spirited.

thank you in advance for any one that replies.

sorry my mistake... long day at work!, theme.html not index.html.


If your changing the theme.html file, you shouldn't have to touch any thing else, your theme will be updated automatically, once you re upload the file... unless your actually changing it directly in XOOPS admin / templates.

I dont see a reason why you need to delete any thing! thats just a waste of time when you can just update them.

any one got any thoughts? suggestions?

edit your : xoopscore/themes/your theme/index.html file.

you can design your theme your self, or just modify the one you have. its all html based so even a novice can create a good theme.

if you want help with themes drop me an email at pk@poiinthepark.net and i will see what i can do for you in support of the UK clubbing scene ;).

be kewl.

check out my fire twirling community at www.poiinthepark.net to see what i did with my theme which is pretty basic, but it works for what we do there.

Hey guys, well having decided that i'd had enough of running cpg-nuke for my CMS i ran in to XOOPS.
After a week of working hard on migrating users and forums etc and compiling the rest of the site by hand and working on a nice new theme to launch our 3rd year of the site i have gone live.

Just wondering if any one has any judgement thus far as i am still making some minor changes or is even interested in "fire twirling / jugglin / unicycling etc".

be kewl.

Hey guys.

Right im getting through setting up and porting every thing from my cpg-nuke site, forums/news/users went ok!

I have journals running on my nuke site and was wondering if any one had a module for XOOPS that is the same as the module for nuke? I would like to port them over as some of my members do use them.
