Okay, thanks for the replies. I decided to create an install.tmp file, my script when then check if the file exists, if it does not exist, then continue to load the web page. If it does exist, then redirect to the installer. Once the user has installed the website, the install.tmp file will automatically be deleted. Thanks!

Hello, I am currently working on a project. I am wanting to implement a theme/template system, where the user can install themes/templates which will upload the folder/files into the theme folder where the website will scan all directories inside the theme folder and list all directories found, as themes. However, I cannot figure out how I can go about creating this. I am really confused, especially as I have tried countless times attempting to organize and plan the system in my head in the past couple of weeks. Could someone please explain to me, how I could go about doing this? As I said before, I already tried to have the name of the main theme in the database, where I would retrieve that name of the theme via a query. But then I couldn't figure out how I could link all the stylesheets that was in the theme folder. (If that makes sense, unfortunately I am so confused, that nothing is currently making sense - if that makes sense..) Anyway, I pretty much need to figure this out, with some help from you Thanks in advance, Unique

Hello, I am creating a CMS, I am currently wanting to create a function which checks if the website is installed. I have attempted this before, by checking if a database connection existed, if it did, then the website was installed, if there wasn't, then the user will be automatically redirected to the installer. However, after creating all of that, I realized that this wouldn't work, simply because if the database server is offline or the database was renamed, or whatever reason, the website would think that it isn't installed, therefore could break the website. Plus, this restricted me adding more functions to the website, such as database repair, etc. However, I have reached a brick wall. I cannot figure out a way I can go about doing this. I searched via Wordpress as they have created an installation that checks if the blog is installed, but that did not help as it just reached off to different functions, etc, and I didn't know how they made every page check if the website was installed, without having to include/require the file on every page, which would require the user more work when creating more pages because then they have to start copying and pasting lines from other pages, etc, just for the page to be fully functional, which really, really is inefficient, and a really bad idea, especially when this could go public, depending on the progress, etc. Thanks in advance, Unique P.S - I hope this is clear enough, if it is too vague, make sure too tell me.

Hello, I am currently creating a gaming website template, however, I am thinking about changing it to a multi-purpose, the reason for this is because I am looking for a professional color scheme and layout with a mixture of grays, blacks, etc. I have this current scheme and layout, however I am not overly keen with this color scheme, I like the layout (That's cause I made it that way :S) but after numerous attempts of trying to get the perfect color scheme for this layout, I have failed, yet again. So, I have come to you, asking if you have any ideas for a better color scheme, I will also accept any layout improvements or font improvements, etc. This is a screenshot of the progress so far: Screenshot Thanks in advance, Unique P.S - I apologize if this is in the wrong category, I couldn't find any other categories that fitted this question any better than CSS.
