I think I'm calling it a night. Still need to get gallery and calendar working and integrated, have no idea what's going on the music page yet but they'll think of something me hopes.

Very nice. The only thing I don't like that much is the menu on the left side (I like the rollover, but don't like the white on purple image when it isn't rolling over); I think the color contrast makes it hard too read. Otherwise that's a very nice design.

Seems kinda small at 1280x1024, but looks good.

Yeah I agree, the white on purple is a little hard. It was actually harder to read with the scheme I had before, I'll play around with it some more.

The mouse scroll doesn't work in the middle frame, using FireFox here.

Nice sight btw, I like the navigation menu once you get into the forums!

:beer:

Looks good, you got the menu off of dynamicdrive.com? I've seen it there before i think

Instead of a link saying "back" you may want to make the top left image a link back to the main page. Also, for the gallery go to coppermine.sf.net and use that, there is another one you may want to try, I don't remember what it's called, but search these forums for a title with the word gallery in it or something, the post is by RossMAN.

Navigation came with the phpbb template I modified. I'll link all the code I grabbed when I'm done.

It's not a frames setup. It's tables and div tags, should be able to scroll. I haven't installed firefox yet, I'll try it later to troubleshoot. I might have something wrong in my code, haven't run it through an html check yet.

I found that it's not very intuitive to have the logo up top as the back/home button but I guess I can code it in, wouldn't hurt.

Using Gallery right now, I think it's having a prob finding the ImageMagick path (tried /usr/bin but it's not working). I'll give Coppermine a shot if I can't get Gallery working.

OK, fixed the contrast problem, should be a lot easier to read now.

As far as the scrolling issue, only the info link displays enough text to scroll, can someone with FireFox test?

Maybe find some higher-res pics of Alba? Unless you wanted them to look a little grainy.

The events rollover doesn't seem to go where it's supposed to. Is that intentional just because you don't have the calendar integrated yet?

<a href=""
OnMouseOver =" if (document.images) document.events.src='images/side-events-roll.gif';"
OnMouseOut =" if (document.images) document.events.src='images/side-events.gif';">
<img border="0" src="images/side-events.gif" name="events"></a>

Otherwise, looking good. The scrollbar works fine in the info section, but the mouse scroll doesn't. Dunno why.

Not liking the navigation on the forums page, but everything else is fine - layout wise.

Yah no calendar so no link, it's intentional.

Hrm, does mouse scroll work in div tags? Might be that mouse scroll only works on entire page or in frames, I'll look into it.

 

[virtuamike]

Found it. Div is being placed at different height which is why you can't mouse scroll it. Javascript workaround is:

function onmousewheel(event){
var scrollbars = this.getTemplate("layout").getContent("scrollbars");
var delta = scrollbars.element().offsetHeight * event.wheelDelta/480;
scrollbars.element().scrollTop -= delta;
}
obj.setEvent("onmousewheel", onmousewheel);

Google is the best.
