New Site

[zach101 0]

Any way I just made this site, took only a few days and im still working on it. I just rambled somthing up for the about page and I still have to do the missilanious page as well but hey its a start. Any way i wanted to know what you guys thought of it Avalon was kind enough to put in his time and make the banner for me which looks very nice. A few questions though on the left side under the navigational is there any way i can put a shout box in there? Secondly for my footers should I have the last edited date on there? Any way im just starting so any criticsm/ comments would be awesome. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Well overall I think the site layout is pretty nice, but maybe you could xhange to colors around a little.. or even give it that glassy look to it. Better yet make it more tech/spacey. Overall good job this far since you have just started.

In order to have a last edited date on your footer page, you need to ensure that php is running through it (by renaming the file from XXX.html to XXX.php). Then add the following:

 

$timestamp = filectime($filename);

 

echo '<p>Page Last Updated ' . date ('l jS F Y (G linenums:0'><?php $filename = 'index.php'; $timestamp = filectime($filename);echo '<p>Page Last Updated ' . date ('l jS F Y (G:i:s)', $timestamp) . '</p>'; ?>

It will produce something like:

 

????[/tab][tab]Page Last Updated Saturday 20th May 2006 (13:33:47)

 

You can edit the format of the date by changing the part in blue to the letters you want shown at http://de2.php.net/manual/de/function.date.php

 

As for the shoutbox, there are many free available online such as my shoutbox or alternatively you can create your own using the tutorial from Xisto:

Wow thanks for the comments savge and electic u can have your footers auto update with out you having to manually do it? I never knew that when i always had footers id Just say Last eidted date: and then id have to keep manually change it my self that is some very good code to know I think I will change that as soon as I get home, However u said change xxx.html to xxx.php Does that mean I need to change all my page names to that? like index.php roster.php and any page that has a footer on it? hmm any way thanks alot some very imformative information.

the layout itself is very neat and good. I think the colors are a little bright, especially to what game it's themed to. hehe.
