A young-author platform baked with WB

[Waldschwein]

Hi Uwe!

Thank you very much for your suggestions. Yes, you are right the borders around the forum link aren't that nice.

@The pdf-Modul: I really don't know what there's wrong with it. On some pages like that it works absolutely correct, on many (e.g. the home page) theres no URL given with the link, and on some the link works but then it's blank.  But the template and therefore the pdf-"integration" and the section type is the same... I will have a closer look at it.

Regards Michael

Hi Michael,

I don´t think the link to the forum is to big. But if you want to have it in two lines, I would prefer  a simple background instead of the borders. Left border in the first line, right border in the second line - I dont like it this way.

And the second suggestion is about the black border on the right side of "leftside". If you really want a small black line, maybe it will be better to give content a border on the left.

Appart from these little suggestions I like your work!

Best regards

Uwe

Uuups, just now I see, there is something wrong with your pdf-Modul and it isn`t working.

Hello!

Sorry for pushing, but now the whole site got in the end live.
Some users complaint about the forum link at the WB site in the header, because they said, that they can see only "a bit" of it (sorry, they aren't technical at all...). I tested with all newer browsers (Safari3, Opera9.5, Firefox2, IE7) and it's looking quite the same. I think it's some problem with older IEs (perhaps 5.x) but I can't test it there (well, at least I don't want to set up only for that a complete VM, the standalone IE packages don't work on my PCs...)
Yes, the link is very big, but many users want to have the forum in the foreground so I think that's not that bad.

Hello!

Well, the site wasn't online, but will get online that weekend.
In the meantime many things have changed, e.g. the forum integration (but without a module, you can't see the navigation right now at the forum but it's exactly the same as on the website).

Would be great to hear what you think of it.
Sorry that most pages and the forum navigation are only visible right now for registered users, but it's quite a treaty thing with rights of texts and much things like that.
WB as a CMS more people than just one or two are working with, and most don't have an experiences with CMSes and "things like that" - yes it could be and worked quite good!

Hello!

1. consequent use of the border you defined for #banner (left and right side and footer of each page
2. less height for the footer or another positioning of the bottom-menu
3. some space between left menu and the right-border, maybe other formatting of the menu

But ask 3 persons and you get 7 opinions.

Thank you very much. Yes, I like your suggestions.

You could probably integrate the forums more with the site, but it's nice! I love the drop down menus!

Thank you too. Well, the forum is now the "only thing" live. So I only integrated it in the website via menu_link module. I don't really know how to integrate it directly in the forum, so the header drop-down navigation is both on the forum and the website. Because the "wrapper" module only defines a fix height, and I think that isn't really nice when using the forum like a interior site. Hmm, either setting an adjusted style only for the forum-site, or adding the header nav bar to the forum. But I don't think that would be so easy, especially it uses SiteMenu2, and that's a WB module... And creating a "looking like the original" navbar only for the forum wouldn't be a perfect solution I think, because then it static.

Hi Michael,

really nice work!

There are some minor things, which i would like to change.

1. consequent use of the border you defined for #banner (left and right side and footer of each page

2. less height for the footer or another positioning of the bottom-menu

3. some space between left menu and the right-border, maybe other formatting of the menu

But ask 3 persons and you get 7 opinions.

Hello!
The German young-author "platform" is not finished yet, but I want to know what you think of it.

The template is only a modified ALL-CSS2 from Gavjov because I daren't doing one on my own (and I think it is perfectly written).   
The menus are completly realised with Show-Menu2. The (quite active) forum based on phpBB3 will have the same navigation header as the homepage.

The content is of course missing, and all pages besides the intro-page are set on "registered" because of being "not live at all".

Here it is: http://www.stifthelden.com/seiten/allgemeines.php

Yours Michael
