sorry if this has been answered before. i searched but could not find an answer. which content management software does lpassociation.com run off. i've been trying to pick one for a few days, now. i've been looking at xoops and postnuke. both are free, but i am willing to pay for one. i've always liked the look of this site, and while i'm not going to bite your style, i would like to know which one you use.
i'm sure it's customly coded, but the content management system let's them update the site without having to hard code everything. there's a thread called "php" from awhile ago, where someone mentioned that they use php with their content management system. they just didn't say which one. i'm just looking for a good one.
Like Tomi said, I'm pretty sure LPA is completely custom, no third-party management systems currently run LPA if I'm not mistaken.
...do you know what PHP even is? It's a scripting language. [by any chance, are you my computer science AP teacher? rofl.] The way the site works is that it's all customly coded and that for the front page, it had a code that extracts information from IPB's ssi.php file so it grabs information from the LP News forum. Not sure if they use the SSI++ mod, but I know ssi.php is most likely involved.
Was I right about the ssi.php exporting? [/b][/quote] Nope Alex wrote his own code to get the news. Which was a waste considering ssi.php is available, but whatever makes him happy.

Interesting...I wonder how he did it then. oO [/b][/quote] MySQL query to get the posts from the news forum, loop through the results, format and display. Uber easy.

Interesting method. [/b][/quote] Yeah, I guess, but I'm not even sure if ssi.php was available with IPB 1.1
Yeah, I guess, but I'm not even sure if ssi.php was available with IPB 1.1 [/b][/quote] I don't know either, it probably was though. Do you know what's more efficient; Alex's method or ssi.php?
I don't know either, it probably was though. Do you know what's more efficient; Alex's method or ssi.php? [/b][/quote] Um, it should be the same. Alex's method uses one mysql query and a loop. I would imagine ssi.php uses no more
