General Updates

Post by DeathStar »

Here are some extensions we can add to our new website: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/extensions-36

I was looking at a chat extension, that would allow us to have a live chat on this site.

Also, I have a TeamSpeak server with groups and and setup icons for VoxelArmy. Everyone still uses the old TeamSpeak but I hope you guys like the new one, let me know what you think. As for now I still think we all meet on the old one.

Server address: techmaster.mooo.com

hey death,
maybe something to consider adding would be a small teamspeak box on the side of main /index page that shows who is connected to the teamspeak server atm and recent chat within the server, in addition maybe we could work on irc relay that in in sync to the main page for members to see ingame chat as well ^^

Exactly! I was thinking about seeing if phpbb had a IRC extension that would be awesome. Maybe they even have a TeamSpeak one, or we can design a custom module.

Funnily enough, a black and red theme was actually one of our design options we liked. However, I do believe that particular design was unable to be used. Maybe we can find another black and red themed design which is compatible for this forum. :D :D

There are a lot of compatible 3.1 phpbb3 themes. This one is available in black as well and there are many other templates to chose from.

Also nopnotme and I can modify them a bit to fit the clans style.

Some ideas for the future:
- new logo
- mobile logo (iphone/ipod/android)
- new background color
- new style
- IRC extension link to chat
- Links to other sites and auto connect to IRC/teamspeak (auto-installer if you don't have application)
- TeamSpeak viewer to see who's online

This style was used because it was a clean customizable style to start out the site. We are definitely going to add a lot of stuff and modify this. The X-Treme templates we were looking it are unfortunately incompatible with our version of phpbb3 (3.1.9) which accepts themes of the phpbb version 3.1 and later. The major difference is between 3.0 and 3.1, the 3.0 extensions and styles are not compatible with 3.1. We can downgrade for compatibility with styles and extensions, or find and make new ones.

Here are some new ones:

Sweet. Yeah send the style. I have to merge it with this pbtech. I changed the logo, removed the siding on the avatars, removed the copyright for phpbb and added links. Tell me what files you changed to make it red and black and I will merge the code. :)
