First WB Site

[mahalleday]

Just recetly ported over this site from CMS Made simple, now using WB 2.7 and loving it.

Let me know what you think.  It's still very much a work in progress as far as fetures go.  The biggest thing being the classifeds section.  I have yet to find a free classifieds script that works well so I am attempting to make my own which will hopefuly be realeased as a module for WB.

Comments and suggestion o always welcome.

Hi,

Clean and nice site. Whitch template are you using? The menu in the template looks different in IE7 & FF.
If I enlarge a picture from the Gallery, I can't go back. I must use the backspace button. The pictures takes a long time to load. Maybe you should use a different way to show the pictures. If you use "another image gallery", it works with thumbs which loads faster.

You love WB2.7... we all do 

Grts,
Luc

Hi,

as Luc already wrote, the pictures are taking too long for loading.
Let me say it a little bit more precise: The fotos You are using are not weboptimized. For example in the 50s section You are using 3072px × 2304px (skaled to 400px × 300px) for the "big" image, but also for the thumb 40x40 it´s skaled.
Let me say it a little bit more specific: this is friendly said NO-GO.

Let me know what you think.  It's still very much a work in progress as far as fetures go......

Before You carry on - optimize things as far You are.

Comments and suggestion o always welcome.

First of all prepare You fotos for the web. Directly from the camera is good for printing but unusable for a gallery. If You are new to this - read this short hints. And maybe You like the gallery - so get and use it!
And if You are a little bit experienced - You can get a gallery like thisone by a snip with your fingertips.
Annother part is the news-section. What did You do? - In the overview it´s trying to load pictures - showing a placeholder for it - but after a while the placeholders dissapear and the text shrinks. 

Anyway - You are on the right way. You have got the best CMS for Your needs - just read a little in the user-guide. It is very different to CMsimple - but once You have some experience with it - You´ll just smile about the tryout-phase.

Thanks guys.  I am fully aware of the issue with the pics in the gallery.  I just have no had time ti web optimize all the pics YET.  I am also working on that menu issue between IE and Firefox it's a bit of a thinker though I have tried a few things and can't seem the figure that one out.  same goes for the image popup thing in the blog/news section.  Not really sure why it does that I am just to unfamiliar with that particular module. 

I am a (it think) a farily goood coder.  I can at least tweak a few things here and there if I need to.  I have been very busy trying to get better with php and other things so I can build and tweak things more effiecntly.

Again thanks for your comments and suggestions.  I'll take ll I can get.  And to answer the question about the template.  It's my own creation.  I can make it available to others if people like it.  It's 100% div and CSS based, I also have version with a total CSS popout/flyout menu on the side or across the top.
