So, really... to get this thing started, whats the best way to make a site with different sections, work with multiple designs?
Do you have each part as a separate file and use php include ?
Or do you just do it like normal, but make each css style sheet use the same stuff, so that the only differences are the colors, etc...
(for example, one style sheet could be:
x123.div {
stuff in here - this would change...
}

and another would be:
x123.div {
different stuff in here, but the x123 bit stays the same
so that when you make a div with the class="x123"...
}

does that make sense?)

amd I being stupid here? lol

The mighty style switcher would be good for this, I believe thats what The Zen Garden uses. I'm guessing we'd need to use cookies to carry the information over to the next page. Might be easier to use PHP but I'm unsure about PHP style switchers..

Don't get too carried away with the Zen Garden and Webmaster Resource idea.

I'm sure theres tons of more ideas that we havent even tapped yet.

strangedar

Most likely! I'll be thinking about this while I'm out and hopefully come back with some amazing ideas (unlikely though..)

pfgannon

Well I don't know if it would be a great idea to make a site that would compete with DD.

strangedar

Could be part of a network or something so it would be more like a partnership...?

pfgannon

I'd rather make it more independent.
I guess we'll have to vote for it once we get out boards.

CannonBallGuy

I still prefer the ZenGardenWebmasterResource idea! :P

fourtone87, i'm in too... i've got a full-time job so i can only contribute part-time. i don't expect any pay and i don't expect to have any claim on the end product.

i'd like to help out in the php, mysql and html parts... better leave the css part to the css gurus (i'm a tables person... )

any type of project will do, just keep me posted with what i need to do...

CannonBallGuy

Thanks daboss!
Do you have any preference as to what we should do?
I really wanna do the Zen/Resource...

sounds like a mighty good idea to me...

when do we start...

strangedar

asap

CannonBallGuy

First we need a structure...
Basically a set of divs, right?
Should we do as fourtone said and basically make our own CMS? If we do martian, daboss and anyone else good at PHP need to be doing that soon.

Another thing we need to think about will be the cost. We will need a domain and hosting eventually.

strangedar

I think we should see what other ideas we come up with first, as fourtone suggested...
We also need to know who'll be doing what...

CannonBallGuy

Hmph.
Who doesn't like the "Zen-Garden Styled Webmaster Resources" idea?

lozzas1810

i cnt defend u there cos i dnt kno wat it is but u seem reli obsessed wid da idea lol

strangedar

I love the idea.. Just think we shouild see what else we can come up with

martian2k4

Or it could be a game, For ppl who dnt know what i am tlkin bout i mean a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

There are so many things that you can add into games like that, it can have any theme you want.

And I am the same Daboss. Tables all the way

martian2k4

I just had a idea. I will set up a few boards on my forum that only pl on the team can see if you want!?!?!?!

Any1 like that idea?

pfgannon

I think it'd be better if we started a whole new forum.
Cuz this is turning out to be bigger then expected.
