Title: New website
Post by: Redtunnel on September 17, 2015, 22:43:39
Tomorrow (18th) is Consentus’ 5 year anniversary and we’re happy to announce our new clan website to celebrate the date! Due to the changes we have had to make to the SMF core, the old forum themes would no longer be usable and consequently removed. I had the intention of releasing a dark theme as well, but it proved more time consuming than I first had thought, so that will have to be a project for the future. My apologies go out to everyone who was previously using one of the dark themes.

Key features of the new site:
-Responsive design (mobile friendly forums)
-XP tracker (includes automatic name changing, woohoo! The XP is updated hourly)
-GP/XP calculator (gets prices from the grand exchange whenever GE updates. Due to heavy throttling on the GE API server, the prices update approximately 2 hours after a GE update.)
-New clan avatar tracker (any warden+ rank will find it at the bottom of the front page).

Our long-term goal is to get fansite approved by Jagex and the new site is a first big step towards that. We still have to add tons of content and features. Contributions in terms of ideas and suggestions, guides, graphics or code are more than welcome. To avoid redundancy in the guides or content we offer, consider what is lacking in RS wikia’s and other fansites’ equivalence (e.g. how to do a certain quest as a limited pure, level of detail or general presentation). Together we can achieve our goal while still offering a unique flair.

Please post or notify me about any bugs/issues you discover!

Known issues
-Shoutboxes are broken (Hopefully fixed)
-Some automated spotlighted topics are broken (Disabled the automated topics for now)
-PM usergroup is gone (Fixed)
-Quick edit is broken (Fixed)
-Cannot edit staff profiles (Fixed)
-Avatar location doesn't update (Fixed)
-Username availability is broken (Fixed)
-Award assignment appears to be broken (Fixed)
-Pagination in topics is semi-broken.

Update
A dark theme has been made

Looking good Red, thanks for your hard work, this year I won't be as busy with Uni so I can contribute with some code if you need.

Love the updates that you have added, Red, I can't wait to try them out when I get home later today!

However, I will be looking forward to a darker theme if that's possible? I love the white, it's just too bright for my eyes unfortunately.

But yeah, 100% amazing job Red! I love the new site and the spotlights! :) \:D/

The name availability checker doesn't work and opens some coding at the top of the page when used.

On another note just want to echo what everyone else has said, the new layout and features are great! Your hard work and dedication has paid off Red, awesome job! :D

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback. Yes, I will make a dark theme my top priority once I've fixed the bugs on the current site and my workload at uni has diminished!

Alright, I have created a dark theme now as well. I didn't spend a lot of time with it so prepare for neglected styling :P

Thanks, it'll do just fine :D one request - could you add in the rank colours on the usernames in the recent posts list on the dark theme?

What doesn't work correctly on it? It works fine on my phone, albeit it could use some ease of use tweaks.
