Site review
« on: August 30, 2011, 04:51:48 PM »
First off id like to say i love this script. Yea it may have a few bugs but it makes it more fun for me adding new features and changing things around.

So right now im using a free website host while i work on the site and after its complete im buying a web host. The URL is monster arcades obviously this is temporary because im on the free host but once i upgrade it ill just change the link in the post. Let me know what you guys think.

thanks in advanced

As Robbie and Adam will be more than happy to agree to, I have absolutely no talant for graphics/color schemes lol. Its nice to see somebody put a good template together.

Happens to everyone - Looks maybe like a cache-refresh problem?

thanks iv been working on this for a while now

The arcade html mark up has a whole lot of problems and if you like I'll help where I can. As in your home page has 135 warnings! :(

For a start your "search block" has only added to it. Try having a play with this.

Code: [Select]
<?php
if($seo_on == 1){
$su ''.$domain.'/'.$directorypath.'/search/';
}else{
$su ''.$domain.'/'.$directorypath.'/index.php?action=search';
}
echo 
'
<form action="'
.$su.'" method="post">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="header2">Search</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="content2">
<div align="center" style="padding: 5px; white-space: nowrap;">
<input type="text" name="keyword" style="width:140px" value="Search" /> <input class="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
'
;
?>

Thanks mort, it works great and looks better then my old one because it got rid of the stupid black box around it. Im not all that great with php so a lot of my code is noobish.

You're welcome!

But I can see it's a little too wide for your style. :(

Have a play with adjusting this to 130 etc:

style="width:140px" until it is the same width as the rest of the column.

That's one reason I tend to set the cache life to 1 second when I'm troubleshooting lol.

However, when just doing things in the admin section, it really should have been coded to update the cache when changing things. It wasn't, my bad, my apologies.

wow..... 133 error, 9 warnings, 5 404 errors for image links. This is just the beginning of website checkers. Looks like i got a lot of work ahead. Though, one of the checkers showed me exactly what was wrong :) so that'll be easier to fix. I also found a few things i wanna change on my main site. I also need to finish my admin panel since mort showed me how to do it. However, once i finish the admin panel, i can upload all my edited files for an official release? or for anyone else who wants to have it. Time to have some fun.....
