Wow, thanks for that detailed look guys. Didn't fix that one yet. Much appreciated, thanks!

 

[jmurrayhead]

The site looks great, especially that news page. Good work!

 

[C6ckneyGeezer]

Look great Bram! I've sent you a PM on Race Department

 

[Mr Lucky]

Old thread but as its revived I had a look.

Very impressive but if you still wnat some critique:

Slightly slow to load (and annoyingly the page jumps down while various ads or banners get loaded.

But then I clicked around on what looked like threads and found myself on a totally different site without realising why:

Ah ok I must have missed something then

On the UI.X 2 framework now, one stop closer in connecting our forum to a future wordpress CMS.

Ppl have requested a XF CMS solution for quite some time now. The devs might surprise us with it for 2.2. Or not lol.

 

[Bram]

If that is the case I hope their hints will be a bit more clear so I am not going to waste many hours and money on a custom solution if there is something in the works.

Anything official mentioned anywhere @l3ta?

Nothing official, Bram. I believe there is a CMS request thread that received a lot of likes, which is the metric the XF team goes by to implement new features, but I can't find it. @Mackeral_Fillet might be able to offer some advice on how to implement the bridge. He did it on his site and it looks amazing.

I wouldn’t call it a lot of likes, only 24,

CMS

I know XenFrono doesn't have immediate plans to start working on its CMS; but, my understanding it will be coming sooner or later. I am requesting "“Promote to Article” functionality that is implemented in vBCMS. It lets admins promote individual posts or threads from forum to article entries...

xenforo.com

Added a like to that initiative for sure. +1 for a CMS

We have purchased the mod from TH to do it so it will be live in a bit. We first need to make some more urgent changes before implementing it.

Sweet. I look forward to see it in action

Have you tried @Bob CMS add-on? Best product on the market. PM him for details

 

[Bram]

With the help of @Russ, @Bob and my own staff we have now succesfully updated our boards to the 2021 standards. A fresh look, a new article system and an updated forum (still rocking @XenForo !!).

Proud to present the 3.0 version of www.racedepartment.com to you and this is not even the fully finished version.

Stay tuned!

This looks outstanding, probably the best implementation of XF articles I've seen yet! Well done to all involved.
