Good; they're quite wide (I've been planning for 800x600 resolutions, too) but it doen't matter too much. Besides, it might be possible to find some way to detect and change according to resolution, although that's possibly going too far ;) . |

(that is possible right, in html ? ) Cheers and thanks, Dennis |

We want to do a release upcoming monday, Do you think it's possible to have (atleast) a static version ready before then ? (if not, it's no problem). Cheers, Dennis |

(if not, it's > no problem). Oh, definitely. I'll probably get most of the next lot of work done tonight, so I'd say getting at least a static site up by monday is a near-definite possibility. There's just the matter of getting more icons, the banners and the CMS. In fact, I'm about to have a go at the banners now. Andrew |

You can't crop stuff in HTML (save for some strange MS extensions in IE, and I'm not going to use those, since they wont work), so I've had to try cropping/fading manually... have a look at http://bytehoard.ath.cx/libvisualtest for an idea. For some reason, the image isn't loading in firefox, but Konqueror's fine, so I'm trying to solve that... it might just be a bad ff cache or something. It just fits on my narrow screen (double-wide taskbar at right, universal sidebar at left), so that's OK. |

After having a look around, it seems the best options are either Mambo or a custom CMS. Mambo is perhaps a bit overblown for your site, but it's easily extendable and has things like RSS built in, while if I make one out of my libraries it may not have RSS for a few days, but it's going to be more suited for your needs and enable us to do the banner stuff correctly. I'm going to start trying a custom one locally; the SF databases are quite slow (actually, you'll probably need to get one created if you haven't already), but I can copy everything over once it's done.

Well since we won't ever need a full blown CMS system, maybe it's better to have our own small CMS system. > I'm going to start trying a custom one locally; the SF databases are quite > slow (actually, you'll probably need to get one created if you haven't > already), but I can copy everything over once it's done. What created !?, I'm not sure what you mean here :) Cheers, Dennis |

OK, work's already started.

The admin has to set it up and set a password for it. As for the mozilla thing, I can''t make heads or tails of it. Mozilla's fine, but firefox isn't... I'll try ff on another computer. Andrew |
