Where to start with proboards?

[Wild Hooves]

I've done plenty of websites before. I have been unlucky with graphics equipment. I've used crappy, free downloads until my own computer crashed, and then I've been using online editors like MyImager and then Paint to add text.

I know HTML and CSS.

I want to know how to make things like forum resizes and category splitters and so on.

Does anyone know where I can start?

[Kahless]

well to do a majority of PBs codes you need to know some JS, so Id suggest starting with that

[Wild Hooves]

OK.

Another question:

With CSS, can you use a full sheet, like with a website? and where would you place it if you can?

[Kahless]

Yep, global header is where you want to place it

Css is a great place to start.

A few things you might want to know.

.titlebg is the title gradient
.catbg is the category gradient
.menubg is the menugradient

The basic css code for Proboard forums looks like this

<style type="text/css">
a:hover {
color: #6FC3FF;
text-decoration: underline;
}

.titlebg
{
background-image: url(TITLE_GRAD_URL);
background-repeat: repeat;
}

.catbg
{
background-image: url(CAT_GRAD_URL);
background-repeat: repeat;
}

.menubg
{
background-image: url(MENU_GRAD_URL);
background-repeat: repeat;
}
</style>


Try playing around with it, seeing what does what. Also, you can view source to see all the different classes.

You can do a lot with just CSS.

But for more advanced stuff you will need JS like Kahless mentioned, but until you learn it feel free to request any needed codes.

Alright, Just don't be afraid to ask questions or start a new thread.

Another bit of advice I can give you is to look at already made codes and try to figure out how they work. Once you do that it becomes much easier to write your own.

thanks blink.
