QUESTIONS FOR OUR COMMUNITY - HOW ABOUT JOOMLA CONTENT MGMT SYSTEM?

[Jack]

[QUOTE=canuck75;8699]Yes those are good questions Laly. I'm wondering the same thing. Can you clarify that for us Jack?

As I posted previously, just email RocketTheme support directly at: support@rockettheme.com and post the reply to this thread. Thanks!

I'm not a programmer so I don't know the answer other than to say open a separate browser window, go to the Forum home page, resize the window so it shows only the ChatBox.

Other than that it might be possible to place the chatbox into one of the User fields in the template... not sure exactly what you have in mind there. That question, again, is best directed to RocketTheme Support - with a copy of the response posted to this thread. Thanks! - Jack

I would have Jack-- but not sure if they'd know who we were--

IF we posed the questions directly to them.

Same with the User 11-20 and Advert areas--or maybe divide up the actual forum threads into these areas .... but I do have my general layout done .

RE: combining boxes. Canuck75 asked the same question, so let's see what reply he gets from RocketTheme Tech Support. You can also direct tech questions to them directly.

I look forward to receiving your layout plan! You can embed the image of it in a post to this thread, as I did the default layout plan.

Just use the Insert Image button on the toolbar: to insert it in your post here.

The question's a general one, Laly, so try asking them!
They answer questions from ANYbody.

Hi Jack,

I am assuming that you are considering replacing the current web site graphics pages with this new “Joomla” layout. If that is the case then I hope it will be easier to navigate than the present scheme, but just rearranging the same text into different little boxes won't make things easier. The only way I will be able to determine if this is easier to use is when it is actually implemented, looking at these demos screens is irrelevant for guys like me who are not computer techies.
I visited the sites which you provided links into, to view the “Joomla” examples. While these were interesting, I don’t understand what I, as a viewer/user of this site, would need to do. Do I have to configure my own version of this on my computer or are you now soliciting ideas for how YOU will configure it on your server? Are you sure you want to go this route? Did you see the related video which gives instructions for ‘hacking’ “Joomla” sites? I would think that would be a serious concern here.
I already gave you my comments about how to graphically improve the site in my response into the FORUM USABILITY - PLEASE HELP make the Forum EASIER to USE thread so I won’t repeat them here.
Editor's note from JJ I'm moved a copy of Rumel's previous post to the beginning of this thread for reference. You can just click the FORUM USABILITY - PLEASE HELP link just above here to view it.
Perhaps this is unrelated, but how does the OrgasmWiki fit into this scheme of things? I would like to know the guiding rationality, philosophy and structural basis being used in the OrgasmWiki. I get really lost in there, perhaps I am too familiar with the Aneros Wiki, but I just don’t see a logical layout here. I question the appropriateness of some aspects, such as the individuals story’s here, shouldn’t those be in the BLOGS? Isn’t the Wiki supposed to be primarily an unbiased, objective, information repository similar to an encyclopedia?

Just thought I'd play around with a KSMO sigil and post it here for comment. This revised scheme is a little more sensuous than the previous examples - any thoughts?
