Welcome!

[Dryness]

Yes, I'm aware it's a little bit dark around here... especially on the main page.
I'll be fixing that after I get some sleep.

There are a few things that still need touching up, to try and get the site to "flow".

If you notice your avatar, signature, or any other image(s) are missing, please let me know. I tried to get it all, but it's possible some slipped through the cracks.
Any bugs, report them as well.

Yes, I know I lost the Raid Signups, you can get to any leftovers by going to http://housesole.890m.com/phpraid/ Once the last raid is completed, that page will be inaccessible.

Also - for some reason the forums aren't taking up the full width of the page... again, morning.

Again, let me know if you see something that needs some changing, and I'll do what I can... things go fuzzy after 3 hours... in the morning... on a Monday... from 1am to 5am... wait... that's 4 hours...

just a few footnotes and things i noticed:

@phpraid, the iframe you've used isn't set properly, due to limitations on iframe, resizing automaticly to php pages is impossible, so setting a standard length for the longest page in the application will ensure the page will always be fully viewable. Currently the Raid SIgnups page is not fully viewable, while this particular page isn't in use yet, this will need to be addressed before it goes live. just cloneing the $content = portion of the DKP referrer will work, just change the link and you should be good to roll.

@forums

possible reasons are the particular " theme " used is built dinky rather than full screen should be a simple CSS fix using percentages (i.e. table.body width: 100%) or something silly like that... (most decent themer's keep it simple like that and apply overall style settings in one shot, rather than having to recode it at every dev / page / table

@phpsighups

i use a nifty program called navicat, if you have remote access to the sql, you can simply import it from the old database to the new, then manually edit the tables where link / url / domain / cootie settings should be changed
depending on your php / sql expertise, you can also create a php based sql importing page where you can further customize what sql entries you wish to process, and wich you wish to alter during the transfer

Nice roster tie in Might want to limit it to members and above, don't want just anyone off the net seeing what's in there

@any errant SQL problems:

Not sure about MsSQL, but i know for a fact that mysql uses ' and " as field seperators, if you run into issues where full SQL imports fail, try looking for misplaced ' or " in the fields data. a prime example of this would be me typing " that's amore " and it not being escaped properly before getting sent to the database, it would work on input, but fail on import. i.e. php would put in "that's amore" but when you try to import that from one database to another you may see that SQL complains because it see's "that", 's amore";

i've sent you a PM with the new logo's you requested, feel free to delete this post if you want..

[minislap]

Linking youtube videos break the site. I tried to post one in the officers forums and it wont let me load the page it is on now..

[PsychoSole]

I like the new colors. I would of prefered the green and black but this isn't so bad.

I would have to agree that the "old school" colors from NWN would be better and I would prefer them but these dont look too bad

[Ori*n]

Anytime you use green text you must end your post..."copywrite Orion"
This color is mine muwahahahaha

I'm actually using a dynamic iFrame for it, the javascript they have on the page is breaking it. I'll be working on that for the majority of the day.

Yup, like I said, will be fixing that in a bit, just woke up now >.>

The reason behind leaving the database behind is two-fold.
1) The version we WERE running, is horridly out-dated, and it's a bigger pain in the ass to update than a fresh install.
2) The SQL database changes required from old to new is just stupid. Also, it's not like there was much invested in it... nobody needs to see old raids anyways.

Bah, forgot that... had it in my "things to do" but must've missed it.

There shouldn't be any errant SQL issues, everything is a fresh install and I just exported the database and modded everything to point to the correct, new, locations.

Thanks, put it up already. Replied to said PM

So.... never?

@Slap

Alright, I'll take a look at it... I have a feeling I know what happened...

ALSO

Because I changed the position of the profile (was on right, now left side of your posts), anyone who's got an avatar that comes into your post, please resize them. I imposed a new size limit on the avatars, but it's not retroactive. Max dimensions are now 200x300.

[Dryness]

Slap - I have no idea why you're having problems with the youtube links...
They're loading just fine for me... in fact, the entire "New Obligatory Video Thread" loads and plays just fine.
Try hitting that link and let me know what you get.

@Forum width - Go figure, the forum body width is a pain in the ass. The background images are causing issues... the body does, in fact, go 100% (when i make the change), but the background images stay static... more numbers I need to fuck around with and don't have time for right now. Will be addressed shortly.

@Guild Bank - Is now set to you needing to be in Guildie group+ to see. Just registering won't load the page now.

@PHPRaid - setting that to a fixed height for the time being.

And, for what it's worth... you can get to the site with or without the leading www.

I'm actually using a dynamic iFrame for it, the javascript they have on the page is breaking it. I'll be working on that for the majority of the day.

i've tried these java based dynamic resizing, but have yet to find one that works, the issue is because php pages literally have no content to them most times, that when the iframe initially loads, it sizes itself to your width / length settings, if you try using a percentage, it wil load fine width wide, but because the iframe doesn't see any content on the php page it never loads length wise correctly. java page loaders won't fix this.

if you actually do get this to work, gimme da code, cause i could use it all over the place

send me a link to the forum theme, and i'll take a looksee at it, if it's just a " border " image issue, you can always replace them with a static colour

[Dryness]

Everyone - Please keep in mind the new layout... the profiles are on the left, so in some instances people's avatars are breaking the borders and overlapping their text in posts. As I see these, I'm resizing them and re-uploading them. If you guys could fix them yourselves, it'd be fantastic...

One positive note, though. You can now use

Code: Select all

[item]Shiny Red Apple[/item] and [item]4536[/item]

To get your item links.

You can also use

Not to mention
