TTTs unexpected re-birth.
 

So if anyone saw, in short, TTT had a hard drive failure in which all was lost, it sucks. This is the new hosting that Metallistar and myself will be splitting, that will never be an issue.

I made a post on the other forum about a main page, but, it went down before I could look for responses. Who wants it, who wants to help with it, who has ideas for it, etc.

I want it. Very much so.

As for ideas, I think we should use a content management script like Nuke, or Mambo or something. Just something that could let us have our own sections of the site again. Kind of like how it was the first time we used PHPnuke.

I'd help any way I could.

Yeah, this host actually would make that too damn easy. It has a feature which with a single click, you can install scripts from what they have available, and they have many a CMS to choose from.

Nice. I was looking into getting some hosting soon. From what you've said these guys look pretty nice.

Standard shared hosting plan.

This is distressing.

Nice job logging in, Stormy.

mweeeb

ack.

as for the main page, fantastico us up a CMS, don. I'll write again..?

Yea, there are what..10 or so members that post on a regular basis now? Why not just give us all our own small section in a CMS. Those that want it anyway.

woohoo domain works

we need a site.

Many options...
 

I'm looking at the things available with "Fantastico", what liquidweb uses for an auto-installer in the control panel, and, lots of shit...that's how I install phpbb, just made a single mouse-click.

There's 5 different Blog options..
There's 9 different options for a CMS..

Drupal
Geeklog
Mambo Open Source
PHP-Nuke
phpWCMS
phpWebSite
Post-Nuke
Siteframe
Xoops

So yeah, I'll be taking some time after I'm back in town (assuming I still leave town tomorrow for the weekend) to see which one works best.

okay

well, I'd kind of like something where only the writers/admins need to have accounts, to keep the board seperate. of course, though, phpBB is the easiest forum software to intergrate with most of the major CMS stuff if we really felt the need to intergrate.

Re: Many options...
 

Just so that you know, Fantastico doesn't always install it's scripts properly. You'll find this with ... Geeklog, SiteFrame, phpWCMS, and like ... atleast half of those. PostNuke and phpNUKE seemed to work pretty well, as did Xoops, from what I recall. I dunno, maybe it's just my host was lame and never had the scripts running properly.

Anyway ... websites are teh ghey
Mike

yeah, mike is right about fantastico being wacky.i forgot about that.

i like the ideas so far, im up for doing anything to help the site along.

don't use xoops, because "xoops" is a stupid name.

i was just checking that out, and it seems pretty good. i could see myself signing up for that plan (because i'm tired of dealing with my school's servers :[).

cokc sukcer foo asss scripts!
