BBHTML?

Posted by KaBob799 on July 15, 2008, 6:45 a.m.

Well the last day has been pretty awesome for me in terms of website design. Not so good in that I didn't go to sleep last night, for various reasons including lots of noise.

I finally solved the javascript problem I had been having for months so I can go ahead and make a fancy custom skin engine for my forums, and the calculator's for wscape.

I also came up with an idea a couple hours ago for what I currently call Pyco Design Language (PDL), it's basically bbcode+html.

However I did it in a way I have never seen.

Heres a running example. http://www.gameplague.com/sites/pyco/sites/test.php , so its bbcode but then theres the parameters. I wrote the parser so that any tag can have an unlimited amount of parameters, things like background color, border, etc. All I have to do is tell how to convert the parameter into html/css. I've never seen a bbcode system this advanced =] It also seems to be running with no noticeable lag, of course I haven't tested it with anything full page sized yet. But if it's fast enough I might port it over to my my other sites bbcode systems so that I can add some advanced tags.

This will also make adding tags for things like polls and comment systems a lot easier.

The fact that I completed this in just 1 night means that PycoSites is actually ahead of schedule to be released within 2 weeks =D

I guess I will release some info about my plans for PycoSite features.

Upload limit: 1mb.

I know, I know…. it's terrible. But with my current host it's all I can spare. It should at least be enough for layout images and a logo. Once I get enough money and find a better host I will increase it to at least 10 if not 15-25. Of course you can get your games hosted at game plague seperately. Paid accounts will get at least twice the storage space as free ones.

Bandwidth Limit: I wont add one unless I start running out.

Languages: PDL for sure which should allow you pretty good use of html/css and some special php and js stuff. I'm not sure if I will allow actual html on free accounts or not.

Site Manager: You will log in on the Pyco Productions website and the manager will allow you to create folders, upload, delete, move, copy, and rename.

Password Protection: I will add a feature (either in PDL or Site Manager) to password protect pages.

Paid Accounts: Though PycoSites is coming soon these aren't, I wont add them until sometime after the blog add-on is complete. Preferably once I get a new host.

Any features I missed that you guys think would be cool for a free site host?

Tip for design: Go to the GMC websites section. If it looks anything like one, change it.

Surely you can keep $71.40 in your bank per year for 10 years? Just through getting money for birthdays if not anything else. (Assuming you get money for birthdays, that is.)

I am pretty sure they make you pay all 10 years at once.

No, I don't think so. I will ask my friend for you.

Seconded.

Try w3schools for learning web coding, it's not all that hard.

Well, he says that you can choose to pay it all up front or on a monthly basis. :)
