I have tried it out. I plan to use the lowbw version for users who don't have fast speeds. Do I need to set the db to website? Also, what I currently did is to set the cookie to forum and run off the lowbw version and the actual version off two folders. What is the implications of this? Both seem fine to me but I want to be sure and not end up losig data, etc.

I have this installed on a test server ( http://www.iron-hq.com/guildmaster/ ), and it runs fine! I did have to make changes to setup.asp so that the "(" character was re-instered into about a dozen places, as mentioned a few posts up.
I am using MS:SQL2000 and it seems pretty darn fast!
It is a bit akward, having to hand code the CSS file to make color/font changes. I suppose there could be a MOD that allowed for CSS themes, that people could select on the fly - it would be pretty easy, actually.
As for other MODs, has anyone tried to implement anything else on top of the LB version here? If so, could you describe the items/methods you used to convert the code to make it compatible. In particular, I am thinking about the avatar, calendar, and smilie MODs.
Thanks!!!! |

Yes, I should get around to looking at that setup.asp file.
Adding MOD's to the LB version should be just the same as a standard version (as the line numbers are mostly the same.) If people want to optimize the MOD code in the same way, then I'll try to write up a guide. |

I'll take a look at a some this weekend, and note any changes/troubles I have in implementing other MODs to the LB version.
BTW, thanks a ton for your work!!! |

I have this version on my local system (connected to a MySQL server). So far all is ok.
I have added a number of mods (including, Avatar, Events, Message Icons, PM, Links Manager 3, Active users and a few smaller ones). All went fine (apart from Links Manager 3, which has a Table problem with MySQL - but that was easily sorted).
I just added all the font/bg colors to a class statement and all worked fine. If all goes well, then i think i will update my site with this. |

| Agreed. The Avatar mod went just fine, with only about 6 or so lines that needed to be changed to match the CSS formating (although, I did not modify the admin pages to really conform. I left them as is.). |

| Does anybody think it would be beneficial for me to pre-install my Site Integration MOD into the standard LB download? (I'd set it as disabled in the options, so it could be enabled if/when required.) |

Personally, I think the LB coding practices are the direction that Snitz should go in the future, so anyone reworking a MOD to correspond to using the LB CSS conventions is a good thing.
The only downfall I see right now, is the hand customization that must be done to the CSS, in order to make changes to the fonts, background colors, etc. If those changes could be done in an admin form, I think it would really cement the concept.
Maybe a short conversion guide might be in order, so that people could retrofit exisiting MODs to conform to the LB CSS. |

| Got the MOD guide in place already, see the first post in this forum. Yes, I agree about the on-line CSS file editing, but I'll need to think of a way to simply/successfully implement a solution. |

| Well, one thing that could be done, is... instead of having a seperate CSS file, the style could be defined between the head tags. That way, a new database table could be made that stores those variables, which are then dynamically generated. |
