Re: WebTemplates, Need Advice....


Okay....so, am I under the right impression that I could take a free template offered out there in cyberspace and cut and paste the code right into the 'template' space in the mod?

I did that and it didn't seem to end up coming out quite right. I know that I'm still missing the images at this point, but I also noticed that the columns weren't lining up just right.

Check it out here...Walt Disney Boards - Message Boards & Forum Discussing The Genius Of Walter Elias Disney! The WDB Hub

Although I'm not keeping 'green' or 'leaf' theme, it's supposed to look like this...

....can anyone give me some pointers?

Re: WebTemplates, Need Advice....


Okay, got the 'skeleton' for my site done and now I have to add the 'meat' on it.

TheWDBHub.com : Where Everything Comes Together!

I've added a new logo that a friend of mine did for me and am now looking to find out how I can add the 'recent threads' (replacing the bulleted list, of course) under the "TheWDBoards" section. Keep in mind, this is a page within my forums using the webtemplate mod, so it should be easy (easier) to pull the info, right?

How do I do it?

Woo hoo! Found the answer after digging some! HowTo Display Latest Active Threads on ANY normal HTML page - vBulletin Community Forum

Now, to continue to fix it up...

TheWDBHub.com : Where Everything Comes Together!

I just changed the total number of threads to 10 and I have to limit the forums to exclude.

Now, how to space it out right. Hmm...

Edited: Got it how I wanted it! Yippee!

Re: WebTemplates, Need Advice....


Can anyone show me how to align the three sections at the bottom so that they are at the top and not centered?

TheWDBHub.com : Where Everything Comes Together!

I tried putting valign="top" in a couple of points in the code, but it didn't work. Help

Those two columns don't seem to be in td cells at all. Not sure how it is on the original template, could you post a link to it for comparison?

Re: WebTemplates, Need Advice....


It kinda spaces itself out as you add more info into the 'area'.

So, I guess that I have to just fill in the other two columns with more stuff to get it right?

I'm going to be adding the "Recent Blog Posts" and "Recent WDBers" on the other two, so it should space it out evenly once I add those, I guess.

If you're pulling in stuff like new thread titles it will the hard to predict how much room it will take...

Re: WebTemplates, Need Advice....


That's true Michele.

Any suggestions on what I should do with the code to make that a little more flexible and work for me?

Also, if I find a flash slideshow to do my 'banner' ads with, how do I add it to my website? How do I add the code into my page? Is it like <script> or something?

I'm going to line up the "WDB Hub" logo to the right and on the left side of that I am going to put a little rotating slideshow (probably about 300 x 250 size) to show the logos of the four 'sites' I'm going to create using the webtemplates (one for my WDB Radio, one for WDB Podcast, one for my WDB Store and another for my Sponsor).

Can anyone help me with that or at least point me in the right direction on where to find the answer? I did some searching last night, but evidentally I was using the wrong search criteria because I didn't find it.

Re: WebTemplates, Need Advice....


Just added my new "Podcast" Page to my site using the Webtemplates mod!

What a great mod this is.

So far, I've completed the design on two pages...

TheWDBHub 'standalone' page: TheWDBHub.com : Where Everything Comes Together!

WDB Podcast page: Walt Disney Boards - Message Boards & Forum Discussing The Genius Of Walter Elias Disney! WDB Podcast

I'm off to start my WDB Radio page now!
