I'm considering putting together a thread to illustrate the whole ideal design process I go through for a project once I've got the time.

Currently working on converting Mod Outlet to a flexible layout. I hate images that scale like shit :/

[editline]04:59PM[/editline]

Also, CSS is a pain in the ass sometimes.

I want a left fixed column and a main right column which is the rest of the width, that's easy. However, when you want to use % widths within that right column, it fucks up. You need something on the top or bottom to push it out.

Currently I have a paragraph of lorem ipsum doing it, I can't see any other way, except for making the right sidebar fixed, but I don't want that, since it varies a lot between two and three columns.

I'll probably end up filling it with columns.

[QUOTE=Fizzadar;22967319]The password is only in the url for email-auto-login links. By form it's POST, of course.

Plenty of sites do it, it's really not a security risk, I'll probably fill the url with shit first, to avoid anyone reading it off the screen.[/QUOTE]

Plenty of sites do it? I've never seen one.

'Filling the url with shit first' is an awful fix.

If you want to use auto login links for some reason, maybe generate a OTP that is only used once (store in the database for eg), or consider a HMAC encoded URL that perhaps expires after a few minutes (I'm not sure what reason your using auto login links).

You missed a few posts, I'm going to make a one time login. The only reason I made the mistake is because I've never made such a thing before.

I'm going to pull an all nighter and try to finish stuff I've started.

I'm very tempted to join.

Updated design, little backend work done since the design still has issues (profiles with no items etc): [url]http://dev.modoutlet.com/[/url]

And for some reason cPanel doesn't bother with mod_expires or the default is bullshit, since everything reloads constantly.

Moved Facepunch.us's one page to be powered by RoR :p

Sorry if I sounded harsh :P

Look into HMAC'ing URLs if you want to ensure a user's visiting a URL you've generated.

You can make them visit /Login?UserId=123&hmac=abc2123123123&ts=123456789

And can verify that the URL they've clicked on is valid (based on the hmac code) and that it hasn't expired (based on the timestamp field, ts).

Useful if you don't want a database to store logins etc.

For this example though a OTP is probably nicer.

I was just going to have an email login key & username, once used it can never be used again and never will.

Just grabbed a copy of Adobe Illustrator, never tried any vector based graphics program before so this will be interesting.

I tried saving your ass, but you're just asking for it now.

[QUOTE=KmartSqrl;22986735]This is a good example of why you shouldn't design in the browser when you're just getting started. The problem is that you are "learning design" when you're actually learning HTML and CSS. If you want to learn design you should be learning design first, not front end development. If you want to learn front end development you should be learning to take a design from Photoshop and turning it in to well written HTML/CSS ([I]especially[/I] if you're interested in making money from it, because that is what a front end developer is going to be doing in a professional environment)

You've got lots of spacing issues, everything feels way too cramped. The article content and the footer stuff is especially cramped, and needs way more breathing room.

The dark 1px lines you've got all over don't look too hot either, they're adding to the cluttered feel, if you want to keep them they need to be a lot lighter, and I'd ditch the one that wraps the whole site area.

The header font looks really chunky and dated too, Georgia in italics really isn't very pretty.

I'm also not to keen on the background color for the page (the pastel blue) in combination with the more vibrant blue you've got for the headers. They clash a bit and the pastel doesn't feel right with that other energetic blue.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the good comment, nice to see someone not being a dick and acutally giving some good feedback :)

and yeah, should of said about the background , was just a place holder. and ok, i'll give it a go, just whenever i seem to create a design in photoshop, it always turns out shit after i give it a second look. However i will do what you've said. Thanks :)

[editline]08:23PM[/editline]

ohh Also, i know the design isn't good, but could you comment on the actual coding? i'd like to know if im getting things right. here's the css link: [URL]http://www.mike.animatorx.net/style.css[/URL]

My first try ever at doing something web related.

Not too bad. Needs some work on general colors and such.

[compwhizii]

Doing some RoR

I think instead of using the filename (minus extension) as 'Name' for the page manager, it should show some comments about the page

Edit: Also, is it a bad idea to use OB? like:

ob_start();

/*code will use echo, instead of some $response[] = '...' and then imploding it. I think that was a terrible idea. */
echo "hello";

function shutdown(){
	$everything = ob_get_contents();ob_end_clean();
	include('clients/template/header.php');
	include('clients/template/bar.php');
	echo $everything;
	include('clients/template/footer.php');
}
register_shutdown_function('shutdown');
?>

Where's the irony here?

Why is it ironic that a rails forum uses php?

Also, if I made a thread about my custom forums, would it be ignored and laughed at?
I'm actually planning on releasing the source code some time later.
