Chris Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 It's been needed for a very long time, and they're finally here, the new designs for The GTA Place. Made by yours truly, I have been working on these all last week, and everything is looking good. So here it is, your Easter present. All the pages should work, also we're planning on updating our outdated content in the next few weeks too so we'll be an all round better GTA resource. If you notice any bugs on any pages, or would just like to leave feedback please do so by commenting on this topic. I'd appreciate the constructive criticism as well. This is version 4.0 of The GTA Place, yes our fourth major design change, inspired by my redesign of my Alan Wake fan site. This one should be here to stay for quite some time, and we now have different styles for each GTA game, or most of them anyway. So, enjoy the new and improved website! NOTE about cookies - We had to edit the cookie settings for the forum a little bit so everyone will have been logged out, you can just login again though. This is because I wanted to personalise the site a little more, so now when logged in the main site will give you useful links to the forum on the left menu, or will display a login box if you are not logged in. The welcome back message will also be personalised as you may well have already noticed. By the way if you're seeing old stretched logo's or other weird stuff, clear your cache and temporary files, or press CTRL + F5 to hard refresh the page.

The JD Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yea, the new design does look good. Kudos to all those whose efforts paid for it.

The JD Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 You misunderstood. I do like the new design. I was merely quoting an earlier reference from the April Fools gag about how some people said that Rockstar's Source code was "Amateur". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I like this skin much more than the older one. Anyway, you'll have to redesign buttons on main site aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPyrox Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I like it, much better, looks so much cooler in a blueish colour than it ever did in orange... And YEY! I'm finally able to register! O_O;;; Stupid computer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

888ball Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I love it, its just so beautiful *sniff* Good work Chris, it looks a lot more proffesional now. My favourite colour scheme is probably the GTA3 one. Hopefully this will attract more visitors to the site. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yeah I think its awesome. Just some of the links on the navbar are a bit too dark, and I'd move some of the panels around, but other than that its a thumbs-up from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabin Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Is this site powered by php-nuke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 No way. We'd be hacked everyday with that software which is frankly, SHIT. Worst CMS ever. The GTA Place is completely custom coded by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 TGTAP was powered by PHP-Nuke a long time ago. Anyway, yes, I love the design, but we also need a forum skin. Maybe tweak Ambience or CaliSkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabin Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) TGTAP was powered by PHP-Nuke a long time ago. You mean like this? http://web.archive.org/web/20031206123934/...hegtaplace.com/ Actually the entire site is archive here http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://thegtaplace.com Ya but php-nuke has too many holes to get hacked. Like sql injections Edited April 17, 2006 by Sabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) after seeing most of the laytouts through the years for thegtaplace, this is sofar the best. what about gta4 page ( i saw the old ones at archive.org ) Edited April 17, 2006 by Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I have no imagery or artwork to use for a GTA4 design. With no idea of what the game will be like I can't make any suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
