Talk Classic Movies

[Davyc]

This is a total revamp of my old Movie Bunker site. Principally it is using the same add-ons, with a few extras (such as the voting add-on) but there has been a major shift in the content and some new sections for discussion added.

The site is now under the new URL of:

Talk Classic Movies

A massive selection of movies covering the most popular genres.

talkclassicmovies.com

The menu structure has changed to accommodate each of the genres separately rather than under a drop-down menu; this makes it easier to get to where you want to be and view/comment on the movies you prefer.

The system uses the following minimal add-ons along with a lot of CSS changes to get the cosmetic look I was after; numerous template modifications have also been implemented to give a little more oomph to some parts of the site.



Here are a few screenshots:







The Blue Arrow points to a text link that will alter the display order of each section so that the top-rated movies are shown.

There are loads more to see, so why not visit and have a look around? Enjoy!

Comments are welcome as I aim to keep improving the site.

As always Dave, completely Pixel perfect. Great job.

Talk Classic Movies is now running on XF 2.3 RC5 and all appears to be well. A number of add-ons that were used have had to be removed as they do not work on 2.3 as yet; I'm sure that some of them will be updated soon.

I've updated the site now running on 2.3.2 and using the out-of-the-box default theme, heavily modified to get the look I wanted. Super easy to do, if a little time-consuming and some experimentation, but it paid off, and no third-party theme is being used. So if anyone wants some insight as to how this was achieved, I'm happy to share

First post has been updated with the new look and showing a few new features, best to go have a look around and see what's available. Here's a short list in the meantime:

• New categories added, including a category listing movies in the post-production or planning stages (Coming Soon); not yet released.
• New Top 20 Voting added in the Community section.
• Ability to quickly view top-rated movies.
• New Community Section to connect with others.
• Movie genre is now shown beneath movies in the listings and in the viewing sections.
• Front page now has all the latest additions showing.
• A lot of the new features brought in with XF 2.3.X have been implemented.

And there's more to come
