well i think it all looks great.
I already have http://test.getmusicbee.com/ available as a testing site so i could grant ftp access to it for anyone willing to participate in creating a new website version.
However i still feel a bit nervous about the forum only because i know the current one had various bits of standard smf code modified. So having someone who knows what they are doing with the PHP code would be helpful.
Perhaps it will be possible to have a fully functioning forum that points to the current forum database with the new look?
Well i actually created a SMF theme, i rewrite the style stuff and some new theme file for most of the things, also modified PHP on a lots of the things. I would say, i have completed about 80% of the theme. i am testing it on a real Simple Mechine Forum (version 1.1.21) on my localhost, so far no problem found.
i highly doubt the previous dev had to modify any
REAL FORUM FILE, unless ofc any mod is used (but so far, i don't think there is any extra mod is used on this forum :/)
can you PM me the ftp details?
also you might wanna create a sub directory in there like (
http://test.getmusicbee.com/forum), and upload a SMF version 1.1.21, and a dummy database, i think when the test is complete we can safely just move the main page in the main domain and ONLY change the theme file of the current forum.
