Ok so I'm trying to convert my website at http://www.bakercountyonline.com but I'm having some trouble turning my webdesign into a theme to go with PHPNuke. If anyone could help please let me know. Thanks.

To be honest I never liked systems like phpNuke. Especially with some of the security/SQL Injection vulnerabilities that have come out recently. If I were you, I'd write it myself.

PHPNuke has a lot of features that I want/need for the website. I think that it would make it a lot easier. I just gotta find someone to help me theme it properly with my site design

*Edit* Shouldn't require much time, since the site is already designed and coded. *Edit*

Use Charon!

That doesn't have any of the major modules I want/need.

Oh alright

But really, I agree. Write whatever you need. Instead of thinking making your site for a few modules in php nuke, why not make some modules for your site? What exactly do you need done?

I really just need help setting up a good REVIEW system for movies and cd reviews... if I can get that done, Ill be pretty happy for now.

DCrazy · Post by **DCrazy** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 12:48 pm

Well, reviews are just text... that could be done in HTML. The PHP part comes in when you want more advanced features. How advanced are we talking? Do you want people to be able to log in and review something? Do you want the data stored in a database? Do you want the reviews to be searchable/sortable?

Kumba · Post by **Kumba** » Sat Jul 03, 2004 1:10 pm

I want a back end system for the reviewers I setup to login to and post their Review of the movie or cd. I want the text to go into a template and be able to insert pictures that the text will wrap around in the review. Also be able to caption the pictures. I want the review to be added to a database which through the main page can be searched alphabetically. Also on the main page where one would begin their search through the database I want the latest reviews to show, with a thumbnailed pic, a brief text and how many stars the review received. All of this needs to be customizable on a back end. ALSO, user comments for each review would be nice, and would be even nicer if phpbb registrations could be tied in with it

I think that's more possible by programming it yourself than by finding the right phpNuke mod.
Do you know php? Like if some of us were to post semi-pseudocode would you be able to transcribe it?

I know some and am in the process of learning more, so honestly I'm not sure. At this point I'm willing to pay some money to get it done.

Nitrofox125 · Post by **Nitrofox125** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 5:28 pm

Well I'd be willing to do it for you for a small fee. Let me know if you're interested.

Name your starting price and we'll negotiate

Another vote for doing it yourself.
That's what I did, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I would be more than happy to help you with setting up a Reviews Section

I set one up for one of my clients who sell their Album off their site.

It's Features include the ability to rate it by "Critic", and users have the ability to add their own input. Including "Star" rating, Comments, & Pictures.

I am in the process of porting it for my site.

Still need help ?

I am just building a new system from scratch now with the help of NitroFox. The system I'm working on/want is much more complex than that, as I have something similar to that already. It simply doesn't fit my needs.

Tricord · Post by **Tricord** » Wed Jul 07, 2004 12:48 pm

I wrote my own system as well, learning a lot in the process. It's called Unified, most of you guys probably have heard of it.

At work we coded our own systems as well. It's the only way to get exactly what you want and have an option to expand functionality properly later on.

However, it takes a lot more time.

Those are the features you described as needing.

At any rate, let me know if you need assistance.
