Title: New Website Launched [BETA]
Post by: Rawrplus on April 13, 2014, 06:10:55 pm
So we have officially launched our new website ( http://ambrosia-servers.eu (http://ambrosia-servers.eu) )

We have put a lot of effort into it. It will basically serve as a portal for our website and maybe even more in the future.
We have also updated our donation system. billing centre and added a board called Ambrosia Game Reviews.

We hope the new portal can provide even better and more joyful experience than before and it allows us to do things we couldn't have done before, the site is fully open-script and we are no longer limited by the SMF restrictions like we were.

Overall, we feel like the website has a lot more professional appeal and sincerely hope you like it as well.

It's only a beta release, so there may be some spelling errors, technical issues and so on, but hopefully we can work on that and iron out the little flaws.

Regarding the music player, to those who are annoyed by it, we left it on autoplay today to showcase the new forum capabilities, we will set it on user-start tomorow.

I'd like to personally thank everybody involved (and also a personal shoutout to Raven & Cardclasher).
Feel free to give us your feedback and critique.

~ Long live Ambrosia!

Wonderful, kind of a long project if you ask me. I had memories of some post related to portal creating since the porting from IP to SMF
Title: Re: New Website Launched [BETA]
Post by: Rawrplus on April 13, 2014, 08:05:03 pm
project x 2.0.0.0.0

More like 4.5.9.8.5.2.5.61.8.8.91409.

But all jokes aside, Project X was scratched and this website was made by me and Cardclasher in roughly 5-6 months (wth giankt breaks, if we didn't take breaks (like not doign anything for long while) it would probably be 3 months).

Post by: Card Clasher on April 13, 2014, 08:07:50 pm
@sagNN, we disabled mobile version for it because the jQuery slideshow does not support mobile.

And to some of you, this is not a forum.. We are not going to change forum software again. This is just a homepage for our current forum with a new donation system.

The new portal for sure gives Ambrosia a pretty professional look , great to see that finally it came live (for public). Big shout out to those two guys who worked hard in its creation.

Post by: Ultor on April 13, 2014, 08:54:03 pm
Found it abit hard to navigate which is probably due to the professional layout. I guess I'm gonna have to get used to it.
Title: Re: New Website Launched [BETA]
Post by: Rawrplus on April 13, 2014, 09:18:25 pm
Uhm, I tried to make the portal intuitive and as easy to navigate through as possible. I tried leaving the widgets-side unused in one of the sub-pages but then it simply looked blank. I think it's mainly matter of time until people will get used to it. It's a biased point of view as a developer, but I think it's not that hard to orient in.. or least I hope  :-\

Fixed nav bar would be good I think. Why do you guys always use dark colours lol... Change some colours the ambrosia yellow from here. By the way, social media div, the link is navigating to .com.

// Selfpost

Known bugs and issues:
- Upon clicking on header and logo, you get redirected to nonexistent URL (thank you Pim)
- The date of Ambrosia Game Reviews is set to year 2013 (used to be minecraft article posted @ that date, but forgot to change the date upon replacing the article)..
   Blimey we began working on this website even sooner than my memory served.
- social media links to .com instead of .eu (thank you Ultor)
- spelling error (Arriba) widget, says serve instead of server (thank you Cardclasher)

All fixable | expected to be fixed tomorow

Complaints:
Music player - As mentioned in the original post, music player is there only for the showcasing the capabilities of the new website tonight and it will be set on manual start up tomorow (evening) - most likely updated alongside the bugfixes.

Raven says 'white is too corporal' :D After all, his nickname used to be Darkness prior to that.

Oh and navbar is set to position:absolute (which basically appends the element to the last one used to it - which is a header). Issue with fixed positioning is, if somebody opened the site on the TV screen, the navigation panel would be extremely messed up.

16.4.2014 / Some quick headsup:

- Fixed (hopefully) all links.

- Fixed javascript error causing website to debug incorrectly.

- Removed music player as promised (I couldn't leave it there for the time being, as when I tried making it user-trigger, it would glitch out upon refreshing the website, so for now, no music player.

- Fully rewritten the redirection script for mobile phones, now you get redirected in 25 seconds after reading and fixed the URL on click here button. So that means you're not stuck in redirection process limbo when using mobile phones and can use our website on mobile phones again!

- Fixed resolution issues on mobile phone for redirection.php page

- Fixed spelling errors.


// Known issues -

Callbackfunction for 'Bebas Neue' font is causing an error, because the file is missing.  | Fixable | Priority: Low - Not causing any actual visible issues, just a bit of dustcleaning service to be done.

On TV screens (wide-screens) the header is positioned incorrectly |  Being investigated | Priority: Low/Medium | very rarely people visit our site with widescreens, though it's something to take a look into.
