SpeedBall 3 - Any Interest
02 February 2006, 04:52


I am finnaly working on my forum and am converting Snitz to full CSS. So is there any interest for it out there? If so I can upload the unfinished demo files this weekend for a rough overview/review.
The package will be slightly larger than base Snitz, as I allready added a few mods to make my life easier (Links Manager, Avatars & a few add-ons, Polls,Private Messages with the recent security updates by Marcel) + a few tweaks (making New Posts links bold; making the breadcrumb navigation a two line thing like the new vBulletin does; etc.).<

I'm game. smile
I guess I should add that I'm doubly interested since the majority of my sites are SpeedBall2 sites.<

OK; I'll look into realigning some pet peves from Poll MOD and rename a lot of the classess to more familiar Snitz names; and I need to weed out placeholder/help text I addedd to help me get my barrings.
I will upload a demo download tomorrow or early weekend at the lates for a quick glance whihc I hope will get me some feedback.<

Here is the very unfinished preview witha lot of odd comments, and some comments in Croatian smile Snitz to full CSS with mods and "IE7" support.<

Now for the comments:

Sorry for the ugly, I was looking at various positions and trying to minimise the "dangerous" CSS that will break IE.
The most common pages (default, forum, topic & post) are 95% done, 100% for the setup I have at home. Some links pages are done and you can see the admin preview in the Main Config (first link).
An edit was done to polls so that title of the thread doubles as the question (I wanted to add question to the poll answers but fear that it would be a bother to convert from an older version of poll mod) and the options / results have been moved abowe the first reply; I will most probalby move it to the top of each page. That was done because I thought it looked better.
I moved some stuff around in the post options to make space for the possible left/right column navigation layouts (and it looks spanky pretty like in the vBulletin). Most notable change is the move of pure member options (messangers, PM link, email, homepage...) away from the forum related stuff (post time, edit, delete and quote).
The white (formBox) divs are not row like because the simplest solution of introducing a negative margin makes a funny glitch in IE - every box after the first contains nothing but renedrs the height as if the conent was in it bigsmile.
That is pretty much all I can think of right now.
Comments are more than welcome.<

I didn't think of that.
Well I can put it up in a day or so when I resolve more issues (I managed to break a few JavaScripts bigsmile and am horrible with it).
Also, the inc_forum_func will break any older layout because it does not include the older forum code just the new CSS one (which i plan to manually change in my forums.<

One last bit, I promisse wink.
The IE7 folder contains the IE fix, and it is the IE7 fix Dean Edwards made.<

I seem to remember another attempt at a SpeedBall III having been started a while back... one that used almost no tables ... but I don't think I've seen anything on it since the first run at it...
I only bring it up because when I went to save it I noticed I already had a "SpeedBall III" downloaded and a link to that topic. I think it was going to be called "SpeedBall Pro" or something to that effect. It was here: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=56107

Might be worth while to see if there's any ideas over there to borrow...<

Just a quick update; everything was ready to go to launch, and my hard drive melted and all the files were lost. As I am in the middle of trying to learn .NET for a course i am taking I have no update on when it will be done.
Sorry everyone.<

I was wondering what had happened. sad
Hope you didn't loose too much...<

I lost roughly two thirds of my non profit projects like Snitz and the only two of my importaint mailboxes to bad sectors. Smartly, I had no backups because it was a fresh intall and the hard drive wasn't all that old.<

I've just had my second Western Digital drive fail on me so I know what its like. I managed to get it *working* for a short time by using it as a slave and copying what data was left to a new drive.

I had been thinking about setting up an external hard drive or a share on another computer and schedule weekly backups. Wish I had now.<

Ouch. That's why I finally broke down and got a 300GB external hard drive... I kept having nightmares of my home file server crashing and taking all my MP3s, photos, web sites, etc. with it.<

boh... I don't know if it works... but I'll try donloading it! :D and by the way, I want to start a site, and I know HTML, but not ASP, people tell me that CSS is like an HTML extension, so I think I'll try your CSS snitz forum! :D<

CSS is not really an extension to HTML, it is a means of formatting HTML rather than an actual extension to HTML itself<
