my second, a revamp of an exisiting website

Post by amygdela »

I've revamped this website. it's current state is quite wrecked, and was using a very poor and stubborn CMS with plain silly templates. I've rebuilt this website and used XHTML and CSS2 instead of tables, tables and even more tables... Result:


total pages, with CMS and images are now about 30% smaller in filesize
the site runs like cat through water :D
the menu/navigation is quite sexy, if you ask me
it's CMSMS'ed :D

Well, here it is:

Thanks for your feedback!

It's nice! But maybe you should fix a design in Photoshop that is not so "sqare-ish".

I am quite impressed by your URL's. Can you please post your .htaccess here?  :)

it's so easy to get such sexy URL's... :-)

The last line in your .htaccess file, change that to:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^(.+)\/$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
and then in your config.php, change the page extension to:

Code: Select all

$config['page_extension'] = '/';
Great results huh? :P

About the design: the client wanted a straightforward, no hassle design without any visual things that could distract you from the contents...


// EDIT //

There are some slight problems with this though..

www.site.com/targetfolder is NOT the same as www.site.com/targetfolder[b]/[/b]!!! So you always have to link with the slash at the end of your links!

And linking to the adminpanel with www.site.com/admin wont work anymore either... you gotta link to www.site.com/admin/index.php or login.php

Warning: This DOES wreck the Redirect functionality of cPanel!!!! It messes up the system and adds and unwanted ?page= after each link. So make sure you are either not using cPanel, or at least not the redirect functionality!

I've just changed my site to do the following but now my images aren't linking correctly. Is there something I need to change in fckeditorx? Can I make the URL's absolute rather than relative? Since the pages are named www.site.com/page1/ the image url is added to the end of that so instead of being linked to /images/image.jpg it is linked as /page1/images/image.jpg

How can I override this so fckeditor adds the image definitively?

add a base href to your header. Check out the source of the page.
