OK guys I think your my last chance!!!

I want to create a site usinf PHP Nuke and I havent a clue what Im doing.

I have a Basic project that i want to do Ill try and explain (if you dont understand please say and Ill try and explain better)

My site will consist of 1 main site i-e (this is not spamming because it doesnt excist)

www.splforums.co.uk (not the mane ill use anyway)

That will basicaly link to my 12 splcub sites (PHP Nuke Sites)

which will be i-e www.splforums.co.uk/hibs

Each Site will link to a forum I already have

There I want each site to be maintained by different users (admin)

Where they can easily update

Latest News
Match Reports
Player Profiles
Team News
League Tables Etc Etc

The Thing is I dont know where to start I have the control pannle and full FTP access although dont know how to use it.

Any help would be apreciated, and if you realy want to get your hands dirty I will link to your site by the way of a small banner or similar on all 12 club sites and main site and messaboard.

Hope somebody can help me out

Also Ghandi, is also a god port of call (just seeing him in the forum) im sure he will off some help

Sounds like quite the project you have going there.

A problem you are going to experience is cookie recognition. PHP-Nuke has a really crappy way of using them and in order to aleaviate this problem you will need to manually rename the cookies in the php code.

you should probably look into making friends with a decent php coder. other than that things ought to work out ok. although you may need to have multiple databases because if your site increases with traffic your mysql server may start to bog down and that will slow down the entire site.

btw good luck.

Cheers Gandhi although I'm not realy sure what you said as im a real newbie

All sites will be accessed through 1 main site a simple HTML put together site not a PHP Nuke site. SO users will probably only ever look at the one club site. Each site will access the same messagboard that I am configuring now.

Its just a case of getting each site sorted with colours and that PHP Nuke bomb thing changed to some different pics etc.

Just to get the nav bar sorted out with the sections we want and to maybee get a few downloads to make it look nice.

Is this a huge job and am I being a bit silly

AthlonGod "AG" can surly get you going in a jiffy!

Im certainly hoping so, as I said Im happy to have links or small banners on my site from anybody who helps. It's the least I can do.

Thanks for all your help so far guys

Can you tell im impatient

i can help you...you need to be alittle more clear on what you are trying to do...

you want to edit your css /theme file?change the colours?

You have no idea what you have let yourelf in for

I need help right from the start.

This is as far as I have got Hibs Site

Basicaly I need to get 12 club sites done so yes th colour will differ on all 12!!!.

I need some downloads I THINK so i can look more like WHAT I WANT

I know that site uses Post Nuke.

So basicaly i need help with colours/set up/images/downloads.

So not much then

On 12 sites!!!

will all the sites have the same look? and differnt colours? if so, thats not to hard to get done...

Yeah Basicaly all the sites will have the same look but in a different colour

Hibs - Green and White

Dundee Utd - Tangeine (orange) and black

Aberdeen - Red and White

etc etc

We would have the same topics/categories etc

And the same Downloads/modules or whatever they are called.


The only thing that would be different is the banner/colours/and some images where the PHP Nuke bomb thing goes some of the sites may differ in waht they want i-e Hibs site = Hibs badge

If it's quite easy then superb

Is it a legnthy task (weeks months) or simply (days/weeks)

Thanks for your help by the way

its should be like 1-2 days...

OK M8 How do I get things going then because Im realy eager, Also if you want a small add on sites you can do that for your help!!!.

I can give you control pannel and FTP etc Just say what I have to do and we can get things rolling

add me to your msn contact list...

sid4peeps@hotmail.com

I won't be able to do that at work at the moment we can't use a messenger service. Is there any other way just now I have a chat room on my messageboard we may be able to use!!!

Any luck or have I got into a complete shambles

Sorry we never got to talk last night m8.

I have just had an offer from somebody to do the sites for $150 thats close on £100 and it would take 10/20 days.

Thats a lot of dough for me

don't take that offer.

I wont Thanks

I have now been offerd PHP (not nuke) from a company who will give me the templates and configure them to our needs and Host them with unlimited bandwidth/space for $0 They will of course have adds on the bottom of each site which I have no problem with.
