Hello peeps.
First of all, thanks to everyone from the devs, to third parties, to tip-masters. Just started with myBB and already have been so much helped by this site/forum.
I have been working on a 3D Modeling Topology Forum to partner with a Wiki with the same focus. . Hope you find it decent.
It's a personal space, but it will be directed to a specialized crowd. So I want to make it usefull, pretty and known to such crowd, by this order.
One drawback of free stuff (and also a perk) is that you usually have to wire it yourseld, even if the parts are free. So I'm not tech savy and I lost some hours in this already Fun thing is that I learn a lot along the way.
Following, some list of items I where I'm needing references and while I can digg and try 4 plugins for each thing I need like I have been doing so far, I'm looking for other ppl's learned lessons to cut the setup time.
Questions
-I'm using DokuWiki with myBB auth. It's ok, but I wanted to hear ppl's experience with myBB and a wiki and which combo was best and why.
- Social plugins. I don't like social networks, but Twitter fits right in my project. What's around that integrates nicely both in layout as in hooks?
- Layouts. I see many themes with different colors but usually the layouts are the same. Which is poor.
Is there dockable layout thing? Would be nice if the forum could be organized like for example a Photoshop Workspace.
- Best way to had costum buttons to the top bar, or even configuring costum floating widgets, etc
- What do you use to fit images into threads? The plugin avaible is ok'ish, somtimes snapping out of place.
- How do I make pages inside the forum, like the several sections of mybb website?
- I tryed Shadowbox, Fancybox and FancyZoom, only the latter worked and I didn't like it. I use shadowbox in Wordpress and is great to open images, videos, websites, you name it, over the current page. Anything around working like this?
Suggestion: To everybody doing pics for forum constructs. Don't Use GIF please, but PNG 32, or PNG 8 + proper Alpha. Thos GIF just die with their halo
Haven't "open doors" but so far enjoying myBB a lot.
Cheers
