Bloodrun Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I don't why I am asking here, but meh. I am trying to teach myself how to build a forum from scratch. Now I know I could simply get a free one, or get a liscence from vB, but I don't want to, I want to learn how to build it myself. Since I am teaching myself (slowly but surely) how to build a web site. Now, before you say google it.I have, and the best thing that I found is how to create the basics of basics, of what is essentially, a forum. Which is just posting and replying. Now that would work, if I knew how to actually read what to do. I was gonna say something else, but I completely went blank.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntar! Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Im not sure how many YCMers are actually qualified to answer this, I know im not. The key is, from scratch... Getting a cheap ole' ipbfree site is a bit lame, but effective. Look at Drift. >_> Buying a domain and a site from vB is effective but costly, look at IFX. Its up to you. Note, you're doing it the HARD way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umbra Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Pika,YCM is fun. See, I just laughed at you. OT: The way I see it: The things you need to learn, Blood are HTML,CSS,Javascript and possibly some PHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG. Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I agree with your first statement, why the **** are you posting it here!? But ask Ruby or Faint, they may know something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ruby Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Download the PHP files from MyBB, and look at the files using some editor, like crimson editor. Look through their files, and just make your own, using theirs with your own content replacing theirs =/You'll need different files, to set up different aspects of a forum, and you can notice that by downloading the files for MyBB or vBulletin.

+Jono Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Learning Basic HTML is the best thing to start. Then you have to buy a domain or get one from 000 (PM me for the site). You'll need MySQL and PHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodrun Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Learning Basic HTML is the best thing to start. Then you have to buy a domain or get one from 000 (PM me for the site). You'll need MySQL and PHP. I have a little more knowledge then basic HTML/CSS.The only thing I don't know at all, is PHP. Which is why I want to learn how to make my own (even if it is just a simple post and comment). That way I can learn PHP the best way possible. I also already have a free domain, but currently it's pissing me off since it won't let me load the php for a forum. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators YCMaker Posted February 15, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 If I were you, I would start off with a smaller project, such a blog. Once you've learned the basics of PHP and database driven web applications, you can expand off your knowledge and explore more ambitious projects. For a decent PHP tutorial, try here.

Cyber Altair Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 sheet!!! A WILD YCMAKER HAS APPEARED. IT USED POST. IT'S SUPER AFFECTIVE. lol, either way I guess he's right. It seems you already know what your doing so I'm not really sure =P Can't you just be satisfied with something already out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uchiha Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 AS YCMaker said you COULD do, or you could try to use the HTML to create objects, then to transfer it to a webpage and finally coding the forums and placing them in the HTML of the webpage and try to avoid javascript as much as possible. Make a nice little domain from a free domain site, then hosting the webpage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
