Need some response, please.

Hasn't gone live, yet, so you all get a sneak peek.

Gonna add the "CS:S Links" and the server info for the "CS:S Server" once I get it.

Obviously, I'm not part of the CS:S team.

It's an Unreal Tournament 2004 and CS:S clan....maybe I should include a CS:S pic in there with the UT2004 characters.....

Templates are no fun!

Nice look. Drop the frames and integrate the forum and you have a real winner.

mak · 01-09-2005, 01:55 PM

Drop the frames? Like get rid of them?

By integrating the forum, you mean, making it match? That's a whole different story, but I can do it, even though it can be quite time-consuming.

I think the borders for the navigation are kinda dull...or maybe I could use a background in the navigation....I dunno....

Frames are rarley a plus. Build your pages from pieces,
header, body ,footer
and use PHP to put them together. You can creat a php page like this,

Code:

<?PHP
$bod = addslashes($_GET['page']);

@include 'heade.php';
@include $bod . '.php'; 
@include 'footer.php';

?>

/index.php?page=team will load the team page, etc.. that way you only have to edit the head and links in one file. No frames make it easier to use on small monitors and search engines will like you better.

Get fancy with mod_rewrite to make it look like html pages,

in .htaccess (google for it if you don't know what it is)

#this turn the rewrite on
RewriteEngine On

# if no file exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

# load the file name into page
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?page=$1

Then you can use URL's like /memebers and as long a no file exists name members, members.php will be loaded.

Whoa....I just started editing simple PHP news scripts.

I think this is a tid bit too much for me, but I do plan on buying a PHP for Dummies or something in the near future. Maybe I'll soon start to understand part of what you said....but I do know a little about .htaccess...

Also, seeing as how it's a site for gamers, they tend to have high resolutions. I made the site compatible for 1024x768 and higger.

I still don't see WHY it isn't good to have frames. I can't just have all the meta info on the index.html file where the search engine will get it?

Thanks for all the help!
