Planeshift XHTML Conversion

The reason why Talad wants a Dreamweaver template is because he uses Dreamweaver, and he is the one who has all the content and info for the site. He doesn\'t wish to give it out to someone he doesn\'t know, and especially not if they aren\'t on the Dev team. So he doesn\'t mind if you make a site for PS, he just wont give you any content information to put on the site.

I think we need someone who is not part of the dev team that is willing to manage the site, redo it with Talads permission, and add content, new screenshots every once in a while, articals, detailed descriptions, and current social PS news as the other news.

I have quickly marked it up with DW tags... I cannot test it though.

Well, it can be loaded in Dreamweaver and the tables are recognized as layouts, but it doesn\'t look good. It definitly shouldn\'t look like this



Edit: Nevermind, I forgot to attach the CSS. It works good in Dreamweaver.

hehe, good job, I\'m not sure the bandwidth saved will really matter, but it\'s always better to use xhtml+css
Hope the real site will eventually be changed ^^

I really like philb\'s design. It looks really good to me. I especially like the three crystals on the left side.  I think that a new design is in order for the new release that is entirely different than the old, though.

I just wanna say that I\'m still looking for somebody to redesign the Fragnetics section of PlaneShift -> http://planeshift.fragnetics.com . The website does not need to look like the official PlaneShift site, and only involves about 3-5 webpages.

My intention is that the Fragnetics portion of PlaneShift should look different because we don\'t expect to be the only PlaneShift hosts in future, and each server should be able to distinguish itself (through the website for starters).

The problem is that while there are many efficient ways to code webpages, I\'ve been looking at more of the design aspect of the site and I\'ve not been able to find somebody who can commit (for free of course) to redesigning it well. Naturally, credit would be given to whoever can come up with a new site.

There are no templating requirements, but the site should ideally be in PHP.

Are we allowed to use Planeshift graphics if we are running the Planeshift server, or do we have to create everything from scratch? The licensing is very restrictive.

[Seytra]

The license says that you are not allowed to use any of the art (including graphics) unless you are either

- running an official server (for which currently no applications are accepted) or

- running a client that connects to an official PS server.

No exceptions AFAICS. I don\'t even know whether it is legal to use the graphics on fan sites or as avatars somewhere.

As the right to \"fair use\" tends to be increasingly reduced towards nonexistance, it can be doubted if anything that is not explicitely allowed may not be prohibited. Welcome to the world of IP.
