    Try out the responsiveness and feel free to click around. I will not make accounts, and registrations are not available - no exceptions. Sorry.

    Since I've been rather actively posting on the http://www.rune-server.org/programmi...vafx-orpg.html Project Thread about the Website Building, I wanted to start making a progress report here for what the website has and what exactly it entails

    I've also been rather judgemental about other peoples work within this section, it's about time that I actually show I know what I'm talking about

    Note: This is my first PHP project that I've managed solo. Typically I design and do basic PHP while someone else does the process, but since everyone apart of the project is pushing their boundaries I figured I would too. I am referencing lots of code I've come across in the past. I'm referencing Invision Power Board, MyBB, and lots of custom scripts I have in my External Hard Drive. I've also got many skype contacts who've shown me how to properly use functions available with the language.

    It is going to be written with .NET as a back-end language, using Microsoft SQL Server as the database & IIS7 as the Webserver Management option I kind of favour Microsoft you could say.

    There is currently no Forum that will be built from scratch, I have some ideas of how I want it to work but will be reaaaaaaaaally extending myself on it so progress my be slow. I have always been an enthusiast for Web Design, I figured it was time to step into Web Development and take a look around into how the functionality of websites actually work.

    The back end code is absolutely horrid, basically just make it 'work' at this point. Then I will go back say "what the **** was I doing?" then make it better; much like how a vast majority of developers operate. It is a work in progress, but one that is indeed moving forward.

    That being said, I'm very conscious of SQL Injections and will be regularly having the script looked over for any potential vulnerabilities before it becomes available to a live community.

    The Content on the page is all experimental and dynamic, I am trying to make it work first before starting to grind out the minor imperfections, links will constantly change as I also prepare the CSS for promotional offer banners, and easy jQuery utilization. It is NOT mobile friendly to start, but the CSS does have the capability to support a mobile friendly site using the same Stylesheet.

    • I am not using SASS or LESS so any recommendations for them are not valuable towards my progress, however I do plan on working with it in the future.
    • I am handling the complete design & functionality of all website components
    • I am not looking for a second developer, but if you are interested in helping mentor me - I'd gladly accept any support.
    • This project is long term and will continue to be long term, the website is not for sale nor is this available for release / code-sharing.
    • I am the individual whom is leading the project of Pokemon Frontier, if you have any further questions outside of the project development you are free to contact me through the PM system OR skype. Both work just fine.


    R-S Admin Response  Latest Update


    Started on Pagination

    SQL portion is done, just have to make the buttons for it now





    Added a Spoiler because the images were starting to become a little too overbearing.

    Spoiler for Media & Description of Updates:

    News Index - This is what the News Display will look like. The Website Home Index will be a compilation of the assorted pages that follow this, so naturally the index will be the last to be developed.


    ACP Submissions - This is how the news will be put into the database to be displayed on the homepage & news feed, I have to add more validation options & a few extra component options, but at this point IT WORKS! I still have to put it into an HTML page because right now it's simply the form.


    Navigation Based on Variables - Using variables determined within the header of the page the links will actively show exactly where you are on the website. The below example is a very general term as to how it works, lots of conditions are thrown into play (the category of the news you're viewing for example) but I'll cover more of that later on.



    News Sidebar Updated - I now have the News Category Sidebar changing depending on the category of the currently active news article being viewed.


    Started on the Main Sidebar - This will be the primary display of other modules and web apps made for PokeFrontier


    Began the Sidebar Widgets + Title designs - An example of how the web-apps will be displayed on the website (design still needs work. LOTS).
    Button Design also included - Hover / Active differences as well.


    Worked on the Login & Logout functions - Also did a lot of new graphics, working on the nitty-gritty bits now like loading icons & getting Font-Awesome in place. Still going through admin-only options & continuing the work on the ACP modules. Began work on the 'Edit Post' ability & delete option.


    Design Structure Re-work - Taking a new approach at size-dependant display. So it becomes specifically geared towards each individual screensize (with the release of a new 3840x2160 resolution notebook next week, I decided this was a good opportunity to start working on something built to work on all screens but with a new approach on the matter.)


    Converted everything from Pixels to em in an effort to make it all resize smoothly.

    Re-did the Color Scheme (Again) - Got a new logo in place, colour changes, and the works of images.



    Started working on the Forum Index now - This isn't quite done, but the CSS I want to use will be primarily for the Forum so I want to finish up those style-sheets before I start cross-referencing sheets.

    Started to do Mobile Responsiveness instead - Only in the early stages and only works up until 607px wide, so it's not 100% friendly yet for phones (granted your don't have a cereal box-sized phone like some people).

    Just a quick screenie since media seems to be a must



    Didn't have to salvage any of the design either, I just removed floats and display types, some issues here and there but I am fixing them as I encounter them.

    Started the re-creation of the website using .NET.

    It looks exactly the same (naturally).

    Here's a picture of some random code for good media measures.



    Finished the re-style of the news submission page, hit a snag with the database being an ass (I know I'm missing something but it's obviously technology that's at fault here ).

    Media for good measure!



    Got the news posts displaying (from a test DB for now anyways).

    Still have to make it parse line-breaks and then display HTML formatting.

    Furthermore, I'm starting to work on methods for news submissions, getting the Author of the Post; the IP of the current submission, the date, exact time of submission and then a few other added extras which I will point out in the future.



    Minor Edits for this update, did some more design extras and CSS edits. Worked with the layout slightly and started to get categorization started. Also you can see the 'submitter' of the post. Did some permissions and began to make a rank structure. Logins will be right after the news posting is complete!



    Added Support for Linebreaks when the informations gets submitted.

    Decided against HTML formatting, instead I'm going to create BBCodes (well a variant thereof) and have them automatically parsed right in the textarea so the formatting happens live. That will come later.

    MEDIA !



    Just had to post this, always happy when mobile responsiveness just.... works.

    Happier that none of my style edits broke anything unexpectedly !



    Started on the sidebar sections, not 100% happy with them. Ignore the default avatar, they are the defaults found on IPB. Just a placeholder for now until we have custom ones.

    Also got the layouts and formats of the sidebar widget unordered lists. Did fonts with em so it will also be responsive, haven't done a full test on that yet though. Will keep ya'll updated!



    Added some tooltips for the sake of keeping up with Modern Times. They aren't reliant on the title attribute, but once again, learned something new about CSS in the process !

    Media !



    Redid the code top to bottom (made a brand new project folder even) - learning lots and making the code efficient. Moved away from Procedural and into Object Oriented.

    Adjusted the URL structure (still have to do the URL re-writes before we go live) and also got the breadcrumbs to about 90% of what I want them to !



    Got the News System 70% Done. I still have to have it record the time stamp and then the associated conversions, but then the final part will not be available until I start to handle Sessions because I want to record WHO submits a post.

    Then I begin on making it possible to Edit & subsequently delete.



    Started on Pagination

    SQL portion is done, just have to make the buttons for it now




    More to come in the future
