I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to php/mysql and I have been trying to figure out how to build something similar to the way the site above works. Do any of you know of a tutorial or script or something that would show me how to accomplish something very similar to that?

I have also been exploring phpnuke platinum with the TopMusic mod, but it just doesnt want to do what I want it to do. Sure it has a lot of features already done for me, but the architecture and navigation is very poor in my opinion, not nearly as efficent as the navigation/information design of metalmania's music site.

Any help on accomplishing something similar to metalmania would be an extreme help to me, thank you for your time and any info you can sned my way.

I don't know what you want.. but theres a type of script that allows you to enter links and stuff.. like a link farm..and if you're good enough you can create your own hacks for it.

I didnt understand also what you wanted, but if what you are looking to do is a site which is organized with bands and those bands are classified by genre and by the first letter of it and others, you need to plan your data base, so that all is related and links between tables are structured correctly, i dont know phpNuke, but i assume it does something similar.Im not also an advanced php coder, so i couldnt really help you a lot with actual code, but i can tell you that the database must be well structured in the beggining, in order to avoid troubles later.You can start like this: Theres gonna be a table of bands, which will contain the band name, the band members, the genre and (for example) a unique (and could be consecutive, just for organization) id. Then you could have another table called Musicians which contains the fields: name, birth, bands where it has played, instruments he plays (etc). Then you could have more tables with more data, but for this example this could be enough.So what i think you want to do is link the Musicians with the Bands, right? so you strucutre a query on Mysql that will you a member of a given band that has played in other given bands, and there you go...I hope i making my self clear, and since you posted this message last month i supose you could better understand me now.

i would like to no how to do this stuff to. But it all seems so complicated. With a simple code missing it could mess everything up. I was trying to add a code and i thought i did it right and then it mest up the whole site
