UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications Forum Design Integration Building a community for artists

I posted a long message in the chit-chat forum concerning our new site (design, scripting, integration, ...), but it seems to be drifting away almost unnoticed

Could someone please help us out?

I read that Chit Chat post, but I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you're trying to get. I mean, you've provided screenshots and stuff, so it doesn't seem like you need any design help. And it sounds like you've got the forums situation handled well enough for now. So please explain what it is you're needing help with, and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.

I'm with Skorpion here. Your site and forum both look great. Are you just looking for more forum members? Tell us what you need and we'll try to help you.

By the way, I really do like your site's layout.

I figured my post was too long and confusing

Simply put, we're just looking for a method to classify our graphics, have them displayed neatly on a page (w/ thumbnails) and have a link to the corresponding post in the forums for commentaries.

I saw the file attachment hack today in the beta section, and it got me thinking. Why not create an image-post hack for UBB, which would post a normal message on the board along with a screenshot of the image that has been uploaded with the post?

I have a few examples of HTML pages (based on UBB's templates) made up at home, so I'll post some screenshots of them later on to give you a better picture of what I'm trying to achieve.

I think it was a bit too early for me to post anything about our site concidering that there's not much on there for now. But thanks for the feedback guys I guess I'm just impatient to get this project started that's all

I made the following pages simply by editing the html generated by UBB. This hack doesn't actually exist yet, but I'm just trying to find out if someone's willing to give me a hand with it

Basically what this hack would do is to create an alternate 'new post' form that would include a new fields such as : upload, size in pixels and file size.

Posting a 'New image' (instead of 'New Post')



This is what the post would look like :



And finally, the alternate forum page with screenshots :



I think I'll try to start working on the code myself, but if anyone feels inspired to create this hack, please don't hesitate to contact me in private I know I'm going to have trouble creating the classification system (sort by artist, category, etc.) not to mention the upload procedure itself. But nevertheless, I'll try to get as far as I can

This feature would be perfect for our site and I'm sure others would find it very useful too!

Hmm, interesting concept. As much as I'd really like to help with this, it sounds like a lot more than a simple template mod. So I don't think I'll be able to help much.

This topic might do better in v6 Mod Suggestions, so I'm moving it over there.
