Well the website is slowly making progress. I haven't really begun to mess with the application or the forums. I have the forum bridged and the skin up, but still more work needs to be done. I'm putting off making our new logo for when I feel like spending 3-6 hours on a small graphic. Oy vey.
I'm pleased to see the Joomla forum mods are working. Those are the ones on the front page that show how many users, top users, etc. I hope to eventually download the WoW avatar pack so we have a whole bunch of WoW avatars...but right now I'm just working on getting this thing working.
I'd also like to get an event calendar working. I saw a raid scheduler calender, but I digress. Its not that important. We can just use the forum and post online. I have an idea...
I'd create a locked forum and then copy the "latest post" module from the front page. I'd set that module to only show raids and then we'd post the scheduled raids in there one by one. Maybe a messy way to do it, but I think the ste is looking real slick and a little bit of duct tape to make my life easier wouldn't be bad.
The sad thing is most people probably won't realize the massive amount of work I've put into this website. Making a site look this good for free isn't what you'd call easy. I've put years and years and hours and hours of work into learning this and figuring it out. I'd like to tip my hat to the open source community for helping us out with all of these great programs.
Now that I've created a test article I'm going to go back to testing the site before I go to bed.
