Hi all
I'm designing a website from scratch in Serif Webplus & Photoshop. I have no knowledge of CSS.
(I hear the groans already)
I wanted to buy vBulletin initially and bridge it with some form of commenting system.
The reason was because I don't have the IQ or patience to embed some form of blogging system into the website, and find a plugin that will automatically port over the Users and Comments directly into a forum - which is exactly what I want. I'd like to find a method of getting posts automatically copied into vBulletin, and have them be able to login to the Forum via the homepage.
Whilst I'm sure the homepage login is perfectly feasible with a few swear words, I'm more concerned about the news aspect.
The layout of the news story will be designed via the program, and just edited to look like a blog with no automatic bells & whistles. I was hoping to put Disqus below the story, and have any registered users, avatars or posts synced in to vBulletins forum upon posting, but I'm now coming around to the idea it might not be such a wise idea.
If I purchased vBulletin and installed it, is anyone aware of any html embedding I could do with a plugin or bridge, that could automatically ship 'blog' comments over & into the forum?
I've heard something about putting vBulletin comments under the blog, but generally I've just found the interface on any forum when starting a 'New Topic' or 'Reply' option too overly engaging. Perfect for the task its designed for, but when used out of it's zone for a quick comment blog response.. was hoping for a simple modern looking solution.
Any advice you might have would be gratefully appreciated.
Many Thanks
Edit:- Nevermind. Just purchased. Will figure out a method v trial and error.
