I use a modified version of PHPNuke. Its good software. You need a DB to run it though. But if you are just looking to do simple webpages with no forums, then you dont need that kind of software.

Perhaps you can tell me what you are looking to do and I can point you in the right direction.

I'm just looking for a simple web page. I really like your templates. I want to set my page up like this one other than the forum. I dont want to copy this page :mrgreen: but I would like to set up my nav bars, menus, ect like yours. I tryed to check out XTRATO.com but there site seems to be down.

If you like PHP, take a look at phpWebSite.

I downloaded the phpwebsite-0.10.0-full. Do you do all your work in dreamweaver with it?

Hi Limp,

I have done two sites now with phpwebsite and I really like it.
And yes you can use Dreamweave as the text editor to edit the *.php files and
the support files like Styles.css and the *.tpl files.
I am currently using as my php editor.

Phpwebsite comes with 10 themes already installed so I’m sure that one of these themes
will be somewhat close to the theme that your are using here.

It is then just a matter of editing the Styles.css file to get the colors that you want
and then replacing the images for your own custom theme.

If you have any more question about the install or setup please feel free to ask me.

Ok here comes the first question :mrgreen: . I have been working on a HTML page for a while now and I would like to keep it. Can I add php to it? And if so how? I want to add a user login for the private page on my site. I also would like to make my own web counter and private forum. I hope that I can just add it to my HTML site cause it took a long time to design it. :)

That’s awesome! But alas I'm lost again. Trying to figure out how to create that elusive login page with PHP. I have resorted to PHP and MYSQL for dummies!!! :lol: I "picked" it up last night.
