general help

[dannysheps@hotmail.com]

Hello ,

i wanted to build a site for the community where i live and it will be a non-profit one, a site that the users(the public) can post free things to give and people can recive , donate style.

i know sites like that around the world but not in english so i cant give you and example here.

i wanted to know , in general , how can i build something like that :

- how can i create tables that contain the information needed (like : name of person , what he want to donate etc.) and when people r posting, the table will extend as much as it needed .

- is it possible to create something like that in BV at all ?

i hope i can get nice ideas here and create something like that here (i live in brazil btw)

thanks alot.

Re: general help

Perhaps if I write in you reply box some one will help to tell me how I use this forum I need toask a question but do not know where to go.
I have logged in, but do not see a posting facility. Man this is cumbersome, have been trying all weekend to get some sort of reply.

Re: general help

Danny: what you want to create can't be done only with BV, it requires a combination of BV and php/MySQL coding.
Your other solution is to use one of the CMS (Content Management Systems) like Joomla and similar

To submit a new thread:
First select the thread that you want to post to, then click on "New Thread" (upper left part, not at the very top, but just under the navigation bar of the forum)

I seem to get to write to exisiting posts, but can't find how to post my own thread. I got there once by accident and can not discover the method again.
Thanx and sorry about the minor stuff.

It's not difficult...

click here and then find the forum that suits your question, and then at the top just click on 'New Thread'

Re: general help

at the risk of being a nuisance, I click on the link you prepared for me, but for the life of me there is no button that says ne threat. The closest is new post and this is not a place for a new post.
Thanx for putting up with me

Re: general help

If you read my post again, it says to click on the link, THEN find the forum discussion board that suits your question. Having clicked the link for that group THEN you will see 'NEW THREAD' at the top.

Re: general help

Hi Bucks,
Click on Ramsey's link. Then you will see a whole list of different forum headings. Select the one that fits your topic you want to ask questions on. Example: General Support Issues. Once you have opened it, you will see all the posts by other people. On top of the table you will see the button New Thread. Click it.

Next time, to get to the forums again, open BV. Then at the bottom of BV, click on the Community Forum button.
