|

hello everyone, please take a look at my band's site and let me know what you think of the site in general, our music, and my use of b2.
http://www.thefragilisticskickass.com?reference=boardom_old
i'm already working on version 2.0 of the site look based on comments given to me by my friend who is a graphic designer.
anyways, the news portion of the frontpage and the news pages both use b2.
thanks for creating such an awesome weblog tool!

Wow, the upcoming shows thing is cool. How is the page done? Show last post from each category or show last 3 posts?

If you haven't already installed b2, I advise you look into WordPress or b2evo instead as b2 is dead. |

Dude, that's some straight up PHP codin'. I made a MySQL table called gigs with a bunch of fields, one of them being date, of course. Then I did an SQL command to select records where date is >= today (and you are correct, i used LIMIT 3 so that i'd only get the next 3.)
then i changed the background color on the next upcoming gig to that reddish/pinkish to differentiate it from the other gigs. and then the ingenius part, if the date of the next upcoming gig is TODAY, i change the color of that to blue and write TODAY on there to draw attention to it.
lemme know if you need any more help on that and i'll see if i can put together some code snippets or something. (i've never provided PHP code snippets for anyone before, though, so it would be a trial and error thing.)
peace.

Thanks. The reason I ask is because this guy I know is making a website for a clan I'm in and I offered to hack up and handle the b2-powered main page part. That gig setup will work well for upcoming scrims and matches. Perfect. Thanks again!  _________________ http://www.viper007bond.com
