VampYre Clan Site I just need Help. anyone have any idea for what i'm trying to do.. This is my site Nbk Rentals This is where I want to add the Login and crap to.. Server is hosted through ipowerweb.

Do you know how to write code in any server side languages? The page you want it to look like is written in PHP perhaps that is the way you should go. There are plently of free scripts you can download and then recode to make it work for you best, but I'd suggest having some knowledge of the coding language if you do so.

Yea I know how to write html put php.. I haven't played around with much.. Do you know where I can get those scripts or what to search for..

you can use a CMS & design a template/theme for it using PHP, HTML & some graphics... CMS like: e107, php nuke, postnuke, mambo.... that way you can add/remove features & have polls & whatnot all right there.

See I have a php site but can't create pages and edit them for some reason. each time I change the index page it changes everything else

What you can do is use PHP for the server side stuff to allow users to login to your site. You'll have to use cookies or session variables (I perfer cookies, just eaier to use). On the page you want user to log into, place your PHP code at the very top. Then down in the page, place a form. One thing you need to know, is that once you have created the form, you will need to convert it to PHP. To do this simple add

$php_self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

print " <everything for the form>

In betwen the print " change all the " to '. This will create a PHP form to allow users to log into your site.

Now the code at the top should handle the form submission. I use functions outside the root folder to log the user in, and allow the PHP code at the top to handle the redirection to whatever page you want them to see when they log in.

Hope this helps.

yea thats not making sense

Why can't you edit it?

You said it changes everything, how so?

I use php-nuke on one of my sites and have found it to be very easy to work with. While I code in perl and do not know PHP well, I have found them similar enough where I can play with PHP to get done what I need to when modifying the script.

The best way to learn is to do little bits of code and see how that works. If you are using php-nuke, try writing a block to get an idea how it works. If it is changing everything, then I think you are doing a bit to much at once and not really understanding what you are doing.

Yea I guess I'm doing that.. But then again I guess I have no clue what i'm doing

Try downloading and installing PHPClanWebsite.
