Ok, I think I've got it figured out. So the new site is on its way!

Jesse, I'm having a little difficulty with one thing. Maybe you can help. I'm trying to figure out how to integrate my current music clips page into your design. The clips page, if you didn't know, is a php file. I'm guessing there must be a command that tells the page to display in your design, but as I said before, my experience with PHP is quite limited.

How can you write a site entirely in PHP?

I don't know, but he did! and I must say, i quite like it. Seems much simpler than HTML.

One other thing, Jesse. Is there a way to add links to the dropdown menus? I ask because I see none for the classic audio or video pages, so at some point I need to add them.

I would just copy the content of that page and throw it into the template. I'm not entirely sure as I don't have the original file in front of me to play around.

to add things to the menus, just modify the nav-nonie.txt file. Follow that format and you should be good. However, if you add to the nav-nonie.txt, you'll have to edit the sitemap.php file too for the link list for non-ie users.

I tried learning it a year ago and it was simply impossible.

[jtmal0723]

also, if you want, as a last resort, send the old site to me via email and I can put it together for you, but as you know, it's best to learn on your own first. I'm more than willing to help

[lfmusiclover]

Yeah I'm going to try to get this by myself (but I'll admit, its starting to wear my patience thin).

[lfmusiclover]

Ugghhh. I'm really close to the end of my rope. I can't get the page template to work right for some reason. Every time I create a page with it, all I get is a plain white page with plain black text. Where the hell are the graphics?

remember what I said before... use this as an example.... if you put a page in pages/misc/baybee.php, you have to load it as twctodayforums.com/index.php?page=misc/baybee you can't load it as twctodayforums.com/pages/misc/baybee.php or you'll only get a plain white page with plain black text... the index.php file does a page include() php function that pulls the page into the design so that you don't have to edit every single page every time you want to edit the menu bar...

[lfmusiclover]

Ahhh, I get it now. 

[lfmusiclover]

One more question for ya Jesse. Is there a way to make links a different color than other text? For example, on my video pages I noticed that the links to the videos are the same color as the other text, thereby making it impossible to tell where to click.

[sonicdoommario]

Yay, I finally got back on here through the backdoor. None of the links worked for me on the site (using IE8 Beta 2).

[lfmusiclover]

Yah IE's a bitch right now. I haven't gotten the IE links up yet, but when I do, they will be at the BOTTOM of each page, as opposed to the top where the menu bar is for FF and other non IE users. Jesee is still looking for a better fix, and of course if he finds one it will be implemented immediately.
