  1. Thanks moberemk, I'll try them both out the next few weeks see how it goes. Can I see your forum?
  2. HOw have you found phpbb? Pros and cons?
  3. Hi! Not sure if this is for CSS or PHP... Ive got a plan to make a forum site for Language teachers. I have a simple understanding of html and some basic css and very very basic php. OK, I think its gonna take me a good few months to get it all designed, the options for forum software (not havin to pay) are phpBB or SimpleMachines. At the moment I know very little about the creation and difficulty of using these packages but I wonder if you can help. I'd like a nicely designed (CSS) site which uses one of the above forum softwares. Can anyone point me in a direction for looking at how to plan the developments of the site and how to work with CSS and forums? Any websites you can recommend? Is it right to make the design first in CSS, then incorporate the forum? Or does the forum software not need CSS? Possibly rather naïve questions at the moment, but hey, it's all about learning, right!
  4. thanks steve You're right about the CSS. As I'd never used a website before, this last few months have been a learning experience and my next plan is to make a Forum for ENglish language teachers here in Spain where I live (and relating to my actual profession - English Teacher). So, with this in mind I'm currently reading up a little php and css and toying around with ideas. So much info, it's a new language for me - and a bit of taste of my own medicine - as I tell my students that you only learn by practice. The 'logic' of computer scripts seems harder at the mo than the illogical elements of English as a language! The issue of gallery and location being in the same columns as other links is an issue, sure, but I thought a suble colour difference would suffice. The square stays as a colour and not a photo when you are on that specific page - this was on purpose, e.g. a red square when on the first page, over the about us line. I think if I redid the page, I'd have a menu bar on the left rather than taking up vertical space. What someone said earlier about too many text colours...this was the idea of the restaurant owners, don't know if it's too busy, but the idea was for the site to be 'fun'.
  5. thanks for comments! Rollover thing was intentional, but see what you mean, perhaps a bit more subtlety would be good. As for the first 'tables ' comments. All I can say is at the time of desigining this I didnt know what a div was, let alone getting some beautiful css site up! That'll be on my list for the next one, but good old tables is all I knew three months ago.
  6. Hi All I've just designed my first website at... [a href=\"http://www.bernisnudelbrett.de/\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.bernisnudelbrett.de/[/a] ...for a friend's restaurant. Would like feedback on good points, bad points, so I can improve on the next one. Look forward to your thoughts! Barça PS German and Italian versions not in yet as I'm waiting for the translations so direct yourself to the welcome link on the homepage
  7. [!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--] Also I see you are not validating user input, you should validate user input as a malicous hacker/spammer could pertentially spam your client.[/quote] Is that just a question of adding a line? Could you point me in the right direction for that? At the moment, the emails are redirected from the emails of the same domain to other emails (controlled from a panel provided by the hosting service) I know I can set it up so there's a catchall account, but is that necessary? My email client that recieves them at the end shows everything in my inbox so I know the problem is not there as it has no spam filters.
  8. Hi For an email from a form, Ive been recommended the following php to send me the comments [code]$mailbody = $_POST['comments'];[/code] but I also have three other IDs I want to enter from the html form. these are 1 title 2 namefield 3 concerning How do I add these multiple entries?
  9. Hi Ive just made my first webpage for a friend's restaurant and I have got a contact form which sends emails to two addresses (depending which subject is chosen). Everything seems OK and Im new to php so the code itself is still a little baffling, its made of a mixture of script i found on the web and some help from forums. One problem, when I test the contact sheet, only about fifty percent of the time do they actually arrive to my inbox. Why could this be? Is it a problem in the html page with the form: [a href=\"http://www.bernisnudelbrett.de/en/contact_us.html\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.bernisnudelbrett.de/en/contact_us.html[/a] or in the coding on the php page? The code is as follows: [code]<?php $emailfield = $_POST['emailfield']; $concern = $_POST['concerning']; if ($concern == 'information') {     $mailto = 'info@bernisnudelbrett.de'; } else {     $mailto = 'web@bernisnudelbrett.de'; } $mailsubj = "A message from a website visitor"; $mailhead = "From: ".$emailfield; $mailbody = "A message from a website visitor:\n"; while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; } if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); } ?> [/code] Any help would be much appreciated, Ive just got PHP for dummies, but as someone who hasnt used computer language like this before, it's still a bit baffling to me. Thanks Barça
