_tech_dude_ Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 How hard is it to set up a site that allows news articles shown on the homepage similar to forum posts? and will this limit the design of the site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Hermans Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 The design of your website can never be limited by design issues sinds allmost everything is possible as long as you are willing to learn how to make it work.If you would like your mainpage to look like a forum I presume you point out to phpBB if so there are several portals that can do what you described just google for "phpBB portal" and I'm sure you will find one.Ruud Hermans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquatsr Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 How hard is it to set up a site that allows news articles shown on the homepage similar to forum posts? and will this limit the design of the site?That's pretty easy actually. I recommend you looking into phpNuke or WordPress. Just Google them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eguru Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 it is not that dificult to do it, as RSS is available for it.just add some news in a file and call the file write back in your main page in a well formatted way by adding some nice CSS to it.
