Help needed with MOD

[cantspeakgeek]

Hi
I am not a profesiional or the like, and struggle with the coding aspect. I am looking for someone that can help me modify an index u site for an idea i have and a website i want to make. It is pretty direct as I want to only use the database aspect of index u, and not much of the front end at all. I want to go from an html page by link to 2 (two) sections in the directory, without any login aspect or the like for the listings. Secondly want the details listing modified to all be the same with some areas deleted, and some custom fields added and images added as well. I can expain this in detail if someone out there is interested in maybe earning some cash on the side to do this for me.

I have tried reading the forum, but if you are not a web designer, or someone that knows these things, it is quite difficuklt to understand what people mean.

Please. Anyone

I think your going to need to spell out everything you want done in order to get a good response on this request Try to list exactly what you would want done ( to the best of your ability ) so that others can see the amount of work that would need to be done and give you a quote accordingly

Essentially they want a database backend and a complete custom front end.

If this is the case then IndexU isn't for you, you can do this by simple php/mysql commands. If you require a programmer then I would suggest a place like scriptlance.

With IndexU you're looking at a cost of $99 just to begin to buy a license. And then you're not even going to use it because you want a complete custom front end. I'm not trying to discourage you from buying a license, I'm just being nice and trying to save you $99.

Hi

Thanks for your replies. I can explain it in detail, that is true, but dont want to bore people to death, or wirte pages and pages. I still want to use Nicecoder, not do scripts. It is just that the way of dealing with the modding of indexu seems really complicated to someone NON technical at all. I can help myself with bits on the web, but seem to rely on more graphical ways in doing it than coding. Maybe I can start by asking a simple question, go and try that myself and then get back to you again. If you load a default template, and you want to replace for instance the newsletter block, with a complete different graphic and link on the homepage, what do u have to do?

I have gone into the template to edit, and can see a lot of sub directories. I want to remove the mailing your friend details, retain the block it is in, change the details inside the block with ie a banner and a different link. I cant seem to be able to delete that at all. If there is an easy answer to this, I would be grateful, and buy you each a beer as well!!

The question that wouldlead from this is, really how do you know which off the details in the template then refers to the different blocks. If you can point me somwhere where I can read this so I can understand it, know how to delete and modify it, I am not scared to try and have a go myself

If I am mad, on the flipside, please let me know

This isn't a job request any longer, so it shouldn't be in this forum. Moving it to the technical help forum

I answered some of your questions via PM, but unless the messages are private in nature please keep them to the forum. This way your questions help others that are in the same situation.
