only reason i would have used one would be for the login areas, though having never really used one it might not be the same for other people.

... call it research if you like, I'm just interested why you use them instead of creating all of the website yourself.

prob coz some people are not that far advanced.

No, I know that ... but what is it that people "can't" do that a CMS does for them?

unofficialsims3uksite · 14-11-2007, 10:32 PM

A quick start and learn as you go!

Aaron · 14-11-2007, 11:08 PM

Do you not think they encourage laziness?

How long have you been using a Nuke/Fusion/Other CMSs now?

What have you learnt?

unofficialsims3uksite · 17-11-2007, 09:05 PM

By reading tutorials like this one.

unofficialsims3uksite · 27-11-2007, 01:11 PM

What so this forum is for Sims and FIFA fansites now?

The Star Hermit · 27-11-2007, 01:13 PM

unofficialsims3uksite · 27-11-2007, 01:16 PM

I seem to remember you complaining about the fact the fansite section is so dead... the admins move it to the index and locate it towards the top and you still don't like it?

Hard to please much?

dtr sim expert · 27-11-2007, 03:36 PM

Can we have links on the sub forums of each game to this forum?

Aaron · 27-11-2007, 04:03 PM

Bad idea. It would make the forums look too cluttered again - moving and merging forums was done to prevent this.

Well, your silly. Having more fansites working in here is much better - Dtr has more people to persuade him to do things, and everyone else has more sites to learn from.

The busier this forum is, the better your fansite will be.

Thats what i assume anyway.

In other news...

I've been thinking of reviving Remora's old php scripts thread with some new helpful scripts and things - would like to know if it's worth it and what you would want in it, would probably be open to people wanting to learn php aswell.

unofficialsims3uksite · 27-11-2007, 07:47 PM

True I never thought of that buggy cheers.

Sumo · 01-12-2007, 08:04 PM

Right then. So you guys think you know what you're talking about

I'm looking to build a website, I know basic HTML and am wanting it to be relatively pain free (not having to months of prior reading). How would you guys advise me to start?

dbuggy455 · 01-12-2007, 10:29 PM

probably just go with a freewebs website until your ready to progress further than that. I'll see what other options i come up with tommorow when my head isn't asleep.

dtr sim expert · 21-12-2007, 06:09 PM

what is the best free cms system?

IamJames · 21-12-2007, 08:17 PM

One that you code yourself

MattkiddP · 01-01-2008, 09:30 AM
