Had to make one Razz

So far:

* Id like to see whos online, on the "main page" preferably
* Id like a better view of latest posts/topics. Possible to have the latest ten at top of "main page"?
* I miss the "red" color. Its been part of our history for some time now.
* Yep, its slow as Lord Affie updating the pic section. Bin the TS?
* Statistics? How many posts, topics, replies and whatnot....Fjeld would love that Razz
* ......

I'll prolly add more later on Razz

Hmmm, good suggestions those yes, could use with alittle spicing up colour wise I agree, the earth/grey tones tend to get a little boring. I like the TS however, its a fun feature, and it might get people to actually use it more. Smile

Linking the TS is a great thing. If its slowing down the site as much as it does then Id say it reconsider having it on the "main page". The feature is nice..and a link to it is a must imho Very Happy

We can remove the TS from coming up in a sidebox, but retain the clickable CLOWNspeak link under the CLOWN Tools menu. That means to see who's on TS you can just click that.

Would that be better? It speeds the site up by at least 200% as it's not waiting for a response from the teamspeak server.


Colours - yes I'm gonna use the red at the top I think. Gonna work out a way of doing it. Either that or the background like on the old site.

Who's online - Now added
Statistics - Now added
Latest posts - I'll see what I can do.

ClownSpeak now turned off but you can select it from the menu to the left.

Not sure how much I can do about "latest posts" but I'll have a play tomorrow.

Design stuff will have to wait til tomorrow.

I also want to know whether people would like a forum dealing with applications to the guild?

Latest posts I think the best I can do is what I have now unfortunately Sad

Gloom you're welcome to have an admin account to check it out yourself - you're more experienced with PHPNuke based sites. Just PM me.

Hmmm, speculation on my part but looks to me like the center main page one are the 5 latest POSTS, while the bottom left column one are the latest TOPICS posted.

[EDIT] Errm, latest, not last. Very Happy

[EDIT nr. 2] Errm, actually now that I think about it in English last probebly works just as well as latest, so you may disregard the previous EDIT if you so wish... Razz

Hi, again. Noticed a couple of things ( not being critical, just making you aware). The link you sent me:

"Congratulations,

You have been added to the "CLOWNs" group on The Circus.
This action was done by the group moderator or the site administrator, contact
them for more information.

You can view your groups information here:
www.clownguild.org/ind...Groups&g=5 "

Does not work, I get access denied. Also, trying to reply to webmaster @ clownguild.org bounces.

No idea what Adeans has planned for the future: to use .org or the more well-known .com url. Personally Id like to see .com to be the one.

Anyways, A has done a great job this far. Lets continue to evaluate, comment and make suggestions to make it an even better site before we talk .org, .com and hosting Very Happy

Balisarious - It's hosted by 1&1 (http://www.oneandone.co.uk) and I couldn't tell you the specs of the server but it's in a datacentre in Germany and is reasonably speedy. I don't really need hosting unless we run into problems but thanks for the offer Very Happy Are you having performance issues?

Re: the addons, I purposely disabled the groups view for certain groups - will enable it again as it's part of the function. webmaster @ clownguild.org will be redirected to my email account Very Happy Thanks for letting me know.

I have no access to clownguild.com. If I'm provided with the FTP details of the server I can set up a redirection here. If someone transfers the domain to me (we'll have to discuss) I can make it display this site natively under that domain. The other option is someone redirects the domain here themselves.

Gloom have you been able to get in touch with Affie?

Lord Affie, being my rl brother I guess I can twist an arm or two Razz Least with ftp access and any other things ya might need.

On a sidenote, loading this site is better without the TS info on the main page, but its still a bit sluggish...

Not sure. I can set you up an admin account. From what I can tell it's configured to let people have 2MB of images in private galleries per user, I don't know who adds the public galleries. We could possibly just make the private galleries larger and not bother with public ones.

I haven't found a module that will let you do that but you're welcome to look and if you find one let me know.

We're running CPG Dragonfly 9.x. Official site is www.cpgnuke.com/

Well FTP access would be good. I can upload a redirection script.

Better would be for him to redirect the domain to this server. If he gets in touch with me I'll let him know whatever details he needs. He can have whatever access he wants to this site too.

Hmmm. I've run an optimise on the database but I don't know where else a bottleneck might be. According to the bottom there these pages are generating in under a second and it's roughly comparable on my machine to the original site.

Might be things like the shoutbox to be honest. I'll investigate which modules are slowest.

Er... word of the day? Random quote surely?

I don't have any of the clownish quotes so hard to implement unless someone gives me them. Is it really useful? It would add another couple of queries to the site, and hence make it a bit slower. Up to you guys really. Maybe we should have another poll Very Happy

Well, might be a lot of work, but how about the "clown of the week/months" edge, where some clowns suggest other clowns, who did something great, for the guild, f.e.... - And in the next week theres an election between the suggestions, etc.....

New idea!

I know I said it would be nice to have the latest posts displayed on the main page. Heres a development of that idea (even better imho):

The bottom left "latest topic" is brilliant. How about a simmilar one "latest posts" (posts above topics though)? Would be great since both would be shown as you are deep into any of the forums!

Implementing the above, Id suggest moving the main page "latest posts" to the "main forum page" (circus forums link).

-----------------------

2nd suggestion,
Number of post statistics, etc should be found under statistics?

Gloom - Yeah I see the merits in your points but unfortunately there are some technical limitations. I can't seem to add multiple "Blocks" (each function on the page like the menu, who/where, forum topics etc) to any page except the front page without changing the actual source code. The chances of me breaking something are quite high if I start doing that!

I'll see if there's a latest posts thing that can go in the sidebar, but I'm not hopeful. I won't unfortunately be able to add stuff to the statistics page (do you really need the info???) though, and I just know that if I fiddle with the forum page it will suddenly stop working Very Happy

Torin - Can have clown of the month if you want but how would we administer it? Who would nominate clowns? Would be easiest doing it as a forum topic, or setting up a forum for that. We'd need someone to administer it however. Volunteers? Very Happy

Generally - thanks for all the suggestions. I will work a bit on the site tonight and hopefully it will have most things implemented. Please bear in mind that there will always be things that can be better that I'll never have time to change, so don't knock yourselves thinking up loads of new features as most I probably won't be able to do anything about. Sorry Sad

I'd like to be able to select a different colour scheme for the whole site... I was able to do that on the old site which meant I was able to make it a bit more 'work' friendly. - Maybe not easy to do but it's a feature I found useful on the current site

In general the site looks good. I'm not very good at creative input but the site seems to work quickly for me. Was an unusually long pause when it initially loaded but since then it's been very quick to respond.

- Latest posts thingy should be working now. It's been customised a bit by me, using my own custom SQL statement. Very nifty.
- You can select one of three themes. "CLOWN" (default), "CLOWN_Red" (Gloom's) and "CLOWN_Lite" (worksafe-ish)

I've also uploaded a squillion avatars.

Let me know what you think.

And the latest post actually shows the latest posts! A for president! Very Happy

Last request, skip the central, main page, "last posts block" then (now that the two smaller ones to the left are working) Very Happy

Adenas, I made a quick CLOWN rank image. Please upload it to the img directory (where the star rank images are). I'll set it as a special rank img for clowns from work tomorrow.

OK.

- Removed forum centre block, although I've put a link to it on the sidebar in case anyone finds it useful (I've grown quite fond of it)
- Added your image (although I edited it slightly to add transparency) and applied to all currently entered CLOWN ranks.
- I accept your nomination for president. When can I get my presidential CLOWN car (with wheels that fall off etc)? Smile

To do:
- Lite theme still has some weird colours here and there which I'm not particularly happy with - will have a shufti at it today.

I could make myself a lot of work here; there are still some unresolved problems with the site. Frankly last night after spending four hours mucking around with the site I really can't be bothered anymore, but I'll keep them here for future reference as I consider them all nonessential.

- Tweak the last posts and last topics things to exclude the various private forums. Had a quick go last night but it's not trivial.
- Make the last posts link actually jump to the post in question. Again... I had a quick go last night but it was non-trivial and involved some SQL I really didn't want to work out.
- Teamspeak display isn't working. Knowing absolutely nothing about where it's hosted, I suspect the relevant port isn't being forwarded by the TS server. Need to speak to Sasc about it.
- LORD AFFIE WHERE ARE YOU!? All I need is FTP account details and admin would also be useful on old site. PM/Email me pls! Very Happy

Gotta do some work now. Will try my best to ding to 60 tonight.

The one you sent to me was white. I added transparency and uploaded it to images/ranks/clownrank.png (or something)

Another issue I've just remembered is the shoutbox is unavailable to non logged in users even if you configure it so it says it will let non logged in users post. I reckon it's a bug with the module... again low priority. Registered users only at the mo.

Never worked out the difference between super moderator and admin Wink I can't seem to do much more if anything.

If you want the clownish words thingy transfered send me a list of the quotes or somehow get me access to them.

What PMs? I'm not sure whether there's a problem with the PM system as all my recently sent PMs have been dumped in the outbox and I can't figure out whether they've been sent or not. Did you get mine?

I suggested it was to be removed, since the boxes to the left now are working as intended. The main thingy took a lot o space as well (least imho). Theres still a link to it in the menu though.

I don't mind putting it back. To be honest it's not as if we'll use the front page all that much, if the front page of the old site is anything to go by! Very Happy

What Id like to propose is to move the "shoutbox" and the "who?where? box" below the menu (to the left) and the "last topics" & "last posts" boxes to the right. Imho, they would all fit bettter that way.

ps. the admin box can go below the "who? where?" box

Ah alrighty, didnt see it in the menu there, I guess that's fine. As long as we actually use the main page for something productive atleast, if we dont we might as well have that there as a 5 months old 'news' item. Wink

I also think the new blocks positions is somewhat of an improvement, if nothing else I dont have to scroll down to see any of them except the 'Who? Where?' one. Very Happy

Yeah I'm not bothered where the blocks go Smile Was initially a bit confused but its just what you're used to I guess.

Will be adding a calendar mod so will need to find room for an "upcoming events" block as well as the "clownish words" block (once I track down the guy who's made it - his website doesn't have it anymore).

Can also have a random pic block.

Not sure whether that and the clownish words block is really worth it however. Each block takes up space and uses database queries so slows down the site a bit. The clownish words section on the old site doesn't seem to be too up to date and the random pics section didn't even work (as everyone kept saying!) Wink

Yes I know they're fun, but how much fun can one site be!?

Indeed, as far as fun for a CLOWN site goes, I'd say sky's the limit. Wink

Also whomever messed with the CLOWN rank pictures (I'm gonna fire off a wild guess here; Gloom? :P); you missed the transperacy again. Very Happy

Thoughts;

Ok, first one completely random but here goes: now that we have the actual CLOWN picture there, do we want to remove it from the title below the name? So that it just says The Elder and The Fool and then the picture fills in the CLOWN part? As I said completely random and useless but might be neat, I dunno.

Second; the Events thing. How about trying to splash that high and center on the front page so that whenever people come to visit the site they go 'oh right, that thing, gotta remember to show up for that' etc.? Seems kinda hidden down there in the corner currently. Smile

Actually maybe a better spot for the events thing would be high left above the Main Menu, kinda where the quotes were on the old page. That would make them easily noticeble without cluttering up the news on the front page and making them visible on all sections on the site. But I guess this would also depend on how big it will be when there are lots of events in it instead of just showing up empty as it is now...

[EDIT] And no, I dont know why I didnt just edit my old post instead of posting again! Razz

I also agree on the "clownish word" and "event" box. I'll move em around later today. Check back later to test it.

Yeah like the CLOWN rank thing but it looks a bit weird if you hover your mouse over the CLOWN image. I'm "The Fool"! Yes I am...

Couple more things to do with the site but they can be done when it's live just as easily.

1) Random pic. Personally I think it's probably a bit pointless, especially if the pics section isn't used loads and loads.
2) The CSS in the three themes needs minor tweaking but nothing major.
3) I need to get off my ass and write the sticky posts which have placeholders!

Bugs:

1) The shoutbox has a known bug where unregistered users can't post. Apparantly this has been fixed but the developer hasn't applied the fix for some reason. Very odd. I'll update in time but until then it's registered users only I'm afraid.

What about a RAID forum in the WoW section? Such a forum would start with a sticky post stating any sign-up rules/code of conduct/pie-recipe. Every raid should have a specific thread, with date/time/instance in the header. People reply in the thread should they desire to be part of that raid. Once a specific thread is created the one responsible would add the event to the calendar and in the description link to the thread. Voilá!

Comment?

Good idea. I like it. Lets go for it Smile

Past raids we could add a link to the piepoints system when it's complete. I've only done some basic config to EQDKP but it seems to work OK.

While we're on the subject of forums - are UO, EQ2 and SWG sufficiently well used to have their own sections or shall we move some/all to the Other Games bit?

Moved the clownish words box top right. The latest post box could be set to display the latest 8(?) posts instead of 10 in the case we belive other boxes end up too far below?

As long as we have CLOWNs playing a game Id say its only fair to have the forums displayed up front. In the three cases listed there are. Games no longer inhabited of a single clown could be moved to other games? In any case it looks rather neet for visitors with a few dif game forums Very Happy

About the Events thingy, I can already see there being confusions and what not as to the time displayed in the start/end and peoples timezones. Is there anyway to have it modify the time based on peoples timezone settings on thier account? Otherwise I guess we'll have to write the timezone in each event...

Solution would be to not have the time in the title? And instead have the time in the description, ie 20.00 server time?

I can't modify the calendar mod to that extent because if they upgrade it i'll have to add my changes again. The solution I guess would be to ignore the time field and put it in the description, mentioning server time as suggested by Gloom.

OK set the "latest posts" thing to display 8 posts - also to link to the exact post when you click on it rather than just the topic. I'm quite impressed with myself.

Also got rid of the --The Circus bit on the quotes thingy.

And all while I was queueing for Skullcrusher today! Very Happy

How much more do ya need? It's pretty bad adding too much signature, but I'm willing to bump it up by a few characters if you want to put some extra stuff in your sig Smile

Latest Posts thingy now doesn't display links to posts in "Protected" forums (e.g. council forum, admin's forum).

We now have a random clown pic. I'll leave it up to Gloom to decide where it goes Smile

Hmmmm, could have sworn we brought this up before but since I cant seem to find it now I'll take it up again.

Any way to get the private messages (atleast the Inbox amount) to be visible on the main page or maybe on all the pages (as a block or whatever?). As it is now you hve to go in under your account to see them and I think I'd be really helpful to be able to have your message amounts instantly accessible any time you visit the site.

[EDIT] Also Gloom, please check your messages, I'm not sure if I got the one I tried to send away or not, confusing stuff this. Wink

Nope but I have them all downloaded so should be able to batch upload them sometime soon. If I just shove them into a new gallery then we can sort them later at our leisure, I think Smile

OK think they're kinda split into galleries already so I'll try and upload them to the right place where possible.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, or even whether anyone else cares.... but in a perfect world I'd like to be able to 'turn off' the left and right side bars so that the main central bit was as wide as possible


all part of the discrete at work approach Wink

I know as an admin I can do this but it's a global site-wide setting. Not sure whether I can get a module or something which will do it. I'll look into it.

Oh another small thing, when inserting a url to another site in a forum message. The text that is clickable should be in a slighty different colour in my opinion. It would make it more clear as to where to click in the text?

would it be an option (and I'm already guessing at the reply) to have the side menus appear at the top and/or bottom.

The human eye track better left to right rather than top to bottom and at the moment I feel that the bit I want to look at is bracketed by bits of info that I'm not going to use.
Also when I do look to the sides i.e. Shout, it feels like it would be more accessible if it was a wider box/window.

On the flip side the site is looking tickety boo.. have clicked around more than I should have recently and have found it very nice to use and relatively intuitive Smile

Light: Why didn't you suggest all these things when, I dunno, the site WAS IN TESTING!!!! Very Happy

I don't think we can put boxes at the top and bottom of any page except the main one which loads up when you go to www.clownguild.org, but I've been known to be wrong so I'll find out.

Re: your other point of hiding the sidebars, yes it can be done and I'll implement it on Wednesday evening sometime I guess Smile

Mc: Yes I'll edit the stylesheet to change the link colour a bit.

OK Light - there are now +/- buttons to show/hide the left and right sidebars.

Mc - Had a look at the CSS and tweaked it a bit so links show up differently - like: www.clownguild.org

Doesn't work if you don't use the URL BBCode tags though for some reason... can't really be bothered to work out why. Hence just writing www.clownguild.org doesn't come up the same colour even though it's also made into a link by the site.

Now that's what I call service!

hmm..... need to think of a more tricky mod.... where's the 'deliver pie' and 'deliver soup' button?
Is it possible to get one of each button that when I press it the site does a level 3 deep scan of my frontal lobes and determines which pie / soup would best suit my needs and place the appropriate order with a local company.... with delivery details abviously!

I think they're probably too irregular for that. Was hard work making mine and while it was fun I doubt I could do it regularly Very Happy

Maybe we can set up a comics gallery instead?

Sounds good to, just some where you can always access them, and know where they are right away.

Adenas, Im using the lite version as well (due to work), but I find it a tad too lite for my own liking. Is it possible to add (or tweak one of the others), giving a tad more "life"?

Posting a quick pic with very faint gray borders on the sidenews menues/fields wich makes em more defined.

Hold down CTRL, or shift (one of the two - can never remember which) and click refresh in your browser Wink

Thnx Adenas, I see the changes now Very Happy

As promised, posting the fonts used in the logo as well as "the hat only". Let me know if you cant use that or want some tweaks.

Adenas, is there any way to have edited posts show as edited (like we had on the old site), ie at the bottom [edited 2006-09-20 13:34] ?

I think it only happens on the top post of a topic, assuming there are replies.

At least that's my experience with it.

There is an alternative forum software for this called Forums Pro which gives subforums among other things. I could switch to that if you want? It's well supported by the people who coded this CMS.

Just confirmed Forums Pro does have that feature, and a couple of others we may find useful. For example we could have subforums for the classes in the WoW tactics forum. I will install it tonight while swapping database servers hopefully (but I have a friend's PC to reinstall too, so may not get time).

Ah its a bit of a tricky installation, and I'm not sure whether the features we require are available for the version of Dragonfly we use. I'd have to upgrade Dragonfly to 9.1.x (which is in Beta, or Alpha, and not that well supported yet) and tweak a lot of stuff. This is a job for when I have a lot more time. Is it urgent that you know when posts are edited?

Not at all Adenas. I just thought such a feature would be handy. If its easy to add do it, but dont knock yourself out over it. Its not important. More of a personal wish Very Happy

Gonna make this non-sticky. If people have suggestions they can post a new post I think. Anyone who disagrees, well, tough Very Happy

Um this is a suggestion thread. You put suggestions in it then I ignore them - eventually they get buried underneath other suggestions and everyone's happy Smile
