Nice page but difficult to undestand... it's in greek...

[Shadow Wolf]

The easiest way to explain what it does... it lets you create a body page in HTML, php or BBCode. It will then place the header/footer for IP.Board around that, creating what is an integrated page. You can set permissions based on IP.Board permissions who can view what, etc. You also aren't bound by IP.Boards structure, you can put something outside of it.

I do not have anything on a production site that I can show here. However you can see on the test forum an idea of how it works.

IP.Board Base URL: http://www.pcxdesigns.com/dev/ipb3/
Example of CCS with IP.Board Wrapper: http://www.pcxdesign...age/test/page00


Same example but through different URL: http://www.pcxdesign...php/test/page00

If you notice the URL it is missing the forum directory which was ipb3. With this you can place these pages technically anywhere within your server. You just need to provide the path to the IP.Board Forum directory. So if you had a forum directory for the forum, but lets say you wanted to build a static page called "art" or even "reviews" but have it be somewhere else you could do that fairly easily.

It can be as simple or complex as you want. I am showing simple examples, done through the BBCode editor. You can also build it from base HTML or even php.

You can build blocks that IP.Board uses and use them on your page. You don't have to use the IP.Board Wrapper, but could develop something with just the header. Something like:

Lot of features inserted in this frontpage, nice template (CCS)/ skin (forum) created, good menus in CCS and much more...

[Nicon]

Will add one more to the list.

work in progress, but coming along very nicely. The power of CCS allows me to setup variuos sections to be themed in different designs and our members just love that whole idea.

Just finished my site using CCS. Great bit of software and VERY stable for a first release.

Amazing design!!! Well done!

I've only just started it, but I'm building the new home page for the AvP fan site in CCS (nearly typed CSS again, lol).

So far it only has a home page with a forum feed, which would when live be the news forum feed.

Eventually, it'll have login in the header, forum stats, recent threads, AvP stats pages like the current home page, and more info pages.

[Ashcroft31]

well if you really want to see an example of what CCS is and what it does then i'm working on one as we speak it can be found here as for the forums there's no immediate plans for that but if push comes to shove then i may use it

but for now have a look anyway.

oh note: it may look alittle light for the next few day's but that's because i'm grabbing information and integration codes to link into it

[DarkGizmo]

I have CCS. Look in that other topic for my site address.

I use CCS. Just my site is very simple. Nothing fancy to it at all like the rest of the those sites.

[NiftyWolfie]

I've used a CCS on my site just a simple little thing I've thrown together to make my pages look better, still not finished them but they look much better then my last attempt.

[techaven]

OK finished aliensvspredator.net, I'm really excited about CCS, the site is using all IPB stuff. I really like how you can make your main site more tied into the community now really easily! I probably spent about 15 hours on it total.

[Lewis P]

Might as well post it here as it's being requested.

The entire 'Featured', 'Versus FM' and 'Playbook' sections of my site are created with CCS. All the other sections are either Board, Gallery, Blog or Downloads. The Versus FM and Playbook sections are offline from public viewing.

Featured page: Click. The theme is modified from Community by having clever template logic in the actual IPB skin. Same with the other sections (which you won't be able to view) The content is created with a hidden forum with topics for the articles and a forum feed (or two) to split them into what you see on screen. Articles are categorised by a special code in the topic description (cat:|:http://link_to_image.png). I'm then using some PHP functions to split it to get everything working as it should.
