If you can tag the name of the topic to all prints in the topic (name or the attributes of the image), it would save a lot of time.

If this is a stupid idea, because it's requires rocket-science technology I'm sorry, but it looks realistic to me.

I've seen such a thing done before, and I've got a decent idea on how to make it work.

It'd work like this:

1. Brand form is submitted, variable is remembered
2. Now the model form is active, and can be submitted, variable from it is remembered.
3. Now finally the search results are displayed.

I've done such a thing previously.

Hi guys, I'm sorry that we have not kept you informed. I’ve been meaning to reply with something useful but nothing yet. We’ve not really had a chance to make up our mind, but I must say I'm quite happy with the number of you who want to help out; it’s very decent of all of you who have offered. Sadly I feel bad for our part for coming off as rude in not keeping you guys up to date on the situation. Again sorry and hopefully we will have some useful news to tell you.

Oh that's ok.

First I want to finish some updates for Lostheaven, some can also be applied here (download section).
Then I still have to wait until 0.5 of LogicFury until I can start on this site.
And maybe you could make a new topic about the website contest? You could put all the posted designs in the first post and attach a poll to it. You could take the members opinion about it in consideration when you decide which one it will be.

y not do it from strach like im doing to learn php?! its easy once u get used to it

[marcovtwout]

Well I have gained quite some experience with php, started with some simple books and coding from scratch. For my company I code everything from scratch and I might be making my own CMS as well some day. For Lostheaven I do both my own code and code from others.

get database access and edit the blueprints catogratory to include more or create new tables to get the samething done heres some sample code for the query statement

'SELECT Make FROM ' . WhatEVERTABLE . ' GROUP MAKE ORDER MAKE"

simple but does the job for me

[marcovtwout]

Oh, I know about SQL as well, don't worry.
Also, this wouldn't be handy.
Getting the query every time the page loads would stress the server unnecessarily, better is to use caching.

[wcc]

i know its just a snipit of the code

[marcovtwout]

And actually it's GROUP BY and ORDER BY

[wcc]

i typed it fast and wasnt thinking strait

Whatever you do, research about security! The exploits that can be left open in a CMS if you are not aware of them are quite eye-opening. Some obvious, some not so obvious. I spent a great deal of time on my own CMS, and I've used a few of the really big and advanced commercial ones.

Thanks for the advice, I already thought about that but I still have a long way to go before even starting on my own CMS.

Back to SMC now when will the layout finally be chosen?

I know this is an old thread, but I'm new here (today). Did this ever get resolved?

I just did a site using css, html, javascript, mysql, and php (all done by hand and without a CMS to help). It my first attempt with anything other than strictly HTML.

I might be able to give a few pointers or help out in some way...
