AskVG.com - The Ultimate Place for all Windows Tutorials, Tweaks, Themes & lots more

[iMav]

working fine here too

and yeah vishal jus incase u plannin a forum ... try this:

phpbb integrated into wp and vice versa ... though the theming is a major pain in the a$$

*www.wp-united.com/

 

[Choto Cheeta]

hmm.. thnx for the suggestion...

phpBB is good option for the forum... but u know Playing with the DB is not a good one as I suppose it will use same user account table for both phpBB and the blog

anyway thnx for the suggestion will test impliment it 1st if Vishal wants one Forum

but i dont think he would one want in Near Future

Re: AskVG.com - The Ultimate Place for all Windows Tutorials, Tweaks, Themes & lots m

ya it uses the same database ... iv used it and it works flawlessly ... the only prblem is the theming part ... ya well a if u have a blog u dont need a forum ....

this comes in hady when u need to give ur forum members their own blogs its got nice set of features for integrating

I also don't think that adding forum is a good idea. This site should contain all tuts. and setup by VG.And forum link to merawindows forum is nice idea. ...because I think vishal is closely attach with merawindows.

However, if he wish to add phpbb forum..than there is no need to play with WP database.Just install phpbb in new directory (say forum)..and link we like this:
www.askvg.com/forum

^^^

Just a Tech Comment...

Ravi New Directory will creat problem because of the running Parent htaccess mod... if a forum has to come, it would come under a subdomain... (Note the dir format is not as Cpanel)...

Anyway yeah me to suggested a Dedicated forum only for the support of his Tutorials and Skening... but its him who would make the Final choise

The site looks neat! Congrats and all the best, Vishal!

 

[nithinks]

Nice site... Congrats Vishal

Whenever we need to use a forum, we would use BBPress. Its the best forum. And I don't think we need a forum as huge as phpbb or SMF for this site. BBPress is enough for the job. BBpress merges easily into wordpress database though here its not needed.

LOOKS KOOL
good work mates

what wp-united does is that merges phpbb user db and permissions to wp user permissions and also if ur good enough u can merge the themes also though as i said its not required here .... and yeah BBpress is good enough

Nice Site vishal, love the layout & the way the page stretches when Zoomed in IE 7 or in Firefox . There are a few things which are like over kill on your web page, advising to change them

1) Remove the glossiness, it looks quite bad in readability.

2) Change the font of the title "Hacking with Vishal" Looks thin & fat both

3) Sidebar text colour to black

 

[iMav]

for the banner font ... yeah i agree change it ... and i luv the banner image of the screw driver .... make that as ur favicon rather than ms logo

^^ Wow!! that's great.
Why RSS from tomorrow? Feedburner is great for RSS. Can be started in 10 min.

1 Ques: who drew the VG cartoon?

 

[navjotjsingh]

Feedburner always report stats of previous day. Feedburner is serving the feeds from day one. But Feedburner has yet to provide with updated stats.

 

[Cool G5]

Congrats Vishal.
Best of luck for your site.
Sorry for late.

1. I'll never add forum. So pls leave the idea.
2. I'm glad that u guys liked the banner. I put lots of efforts in making it.
3. OK. I'll try to make a favicon of that screw driver.

@blackpearl
The cartoon was not my creation.

Thanks again guys.
