Heres what i've done so far
News script that query's the mysql database for the forums.. with options to choose which forumid to query, it fetches the topic name, author name, and post
It orders them by which was posted last.. it includes replies to posts, so you could possibly have one "website news" post, and just add replies to that
 (Let me know if you would prefer that to a forum"

umm, I made the white background transparent (in the gif) so you can have it as whatever color you want on a website and I also made one with a blueish background (jpeg)

[EDIT] I had to stick them on an html doc because angelfire turned :p and stopped allowing the direct viewing of images from their servers [/EDIT]

Esuna, if you want to redo, and do the frontend, tell me what you need and I'll do any of the backend stuff

You wanna upload the html version if you still have it, I want to take a look at it

The L and M were joined, but i decided to seperate them so you could tell it was two letters. The most annoying part is that i accidently forgot to save the logo, so i'd have to redo it anyway. :D

Maybe this one needs to have an 'admins' link.. I have a list of admins in a table with links to their forum profile.. so I can attach that if necessary.. I could probably do it in PHP.. but theres no real reason, the admins dont change all that much

Apologize for the bumpage, but I had a few hours and made up a front page, since IMHO the existing one is kinda fugly (I hate times new roman and regular frames).

I made up two basic themes, a light one and a dark one (just an inverse of the light one).

Light Version (http://dorian.carpe-noctem.ca/lm/index.php?theme=light)
Dark Version (http://dorian.carpe-noctem.ca/lm/index.php?theme=dark)

The news bit is an iframe, so integrating it with the IPB output shouldn't be too hard. All thats in the news file is a list of tables, following almost the exact same format as the current news page (a few CSS classes are the only difference). Another reason its an iframe is because otherwise it can screw up the alignment of the graphics slightly, the little grid doesn't always line up. I didn't feel like finding a real solution, or losing the fade effect, so I cheated.

Oh, and its still a WIP, since I was just bored and needed something to do (aside from the piles of summer reading that I have yet to touch).

NOTE: The link may be down a LOT, since my DSL connection is down about 40% of the time (I'm switching ISPs as soon as humanly possible) and the site is hosted on my own server :(

Title: Website/forum Skin Submission Thread
Post by: Dorian on August 28, 2004, 01:18:43 AM
Well I fixed it in IE, added the downloads page, added a theme selector, skinned the IRC page, and added a rules page before the forums like on ns.org. Make sure to refresh the page manually since a few of the images changed. I might have changed some other stuff, but considering I've been working on it at 1-3AM, I'm not sure :p

(http://dorian.carpe-noctem.ca/lm/forums1.png)

(http://dorian.carpe-noctem.ca/lm/forums2.png)

The main reason I did a forum skin was because I had to install IPB anyways to figure out what tables IPB stored posts in for the news page (hence the faked post by lolfighter in the first pic)

Or is his full name Dorian Gray from "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen"

Fair enough Bob Dorian Gray isn`t "orginally" from The League but it is a recent film, where people might know the character "from". The film also eludes to some of the backstory of the character of Dorian Gray. But ok the original is from a story by oscar wilde. Happy?  :D

Just posting to make sure people don't think I died or dropped off the face of the earth :p. I just haven't had internet for a few days and therefore couldn't work on the skin much. It has a bit of color ATM (in the form of a new banner and some new graphics), I'm just working on getting a color scheme that works for the rest of it.

I've had time to fix some things and finish some other things that I missed (such as in the individual post views). I've exported the skin and its image set, but I'm not sure if it worked. I can't re-import them in my install of IPB, but then again it can't import any skins without throwing a PHP error at me  :(
