Which solution will suit my needs the best in creating a website.

@khalidahmedSep 02.2012

I am a teenager in the high school , who need to make a personal website which i want it to include the following

HomePage:- the home page will include the staff like what website offer, with some information about me

Homework help community :- I need to create a community for my class in which there is simple post and answer script ….which i don’t want it be complicated like a forum

Gaming-servers :- A can make servers of alot of game like counter strike and minecraft , so i want to include it in the menu ….and to view in the page if the server is online or offline and other feature in the server

Chat service :- i want to have a chat in the website, which is better to include voice..

file-sharing service :- in which people can upload what ever they want like pdfs, and other type of files … but it must be viewed in a list…so that it will be easier for people to download…

My private uploading service :- I want a hidden place the is password protected in which i can upload all my content and download it anytime and anywhere easily.

About me page :- and this will include my interests my hobbies and so on

A contact me page :- and this will include a simple form in which people can contact me, by leaving their emails, names, and their message.

And the website should support the iPad, in the width and its content, This is simply what the website will be…

I have a domain and hosting service …. and i know most of the terms and services that is related to website developing … But I don’t know which place will include all my needs

I have tried like 6 cms, i know how to deal with them and the styles and plugins… But i just need a one the suits all of the above needs
So if you could please include names of scripts or plugins…

And if anyone have even more ideas that my be included in the website, please post them

So I hope anybody can help me in achieving that and i will be really grateful to him
Thanks in Advance

if you can code a bit, then the code to launch services for game servers already exists in the shoutcast2 control panel module

@khalidahmedauthorSep 03.2012 — #thanks for your answer n0x, But i don't want a gaming service and control panel and these stuff, I was saying that i will but a page that contains the ip adress and these stuff, as i will just copy it from gametracker....

But the main question is that from where i can do that, for example wordpress, joomla, drupal, e107, and so on........ and what are the scripts and plugins that is compatible to the specific cms and that are similar to my needs ....

@GudlifeSep 03.2012 — #It seems to be quit a big project you have there.

To start with, a question comes up. Do you have a precise scheme of what you want to do and how the different components will interact? Because seeing big is nice, but once you start coding, you get easily lost.

Secondly, you seem to be wanting to use a CMS.

If i should advise one, it would certainly be Drupal7.

But then, I am not advising you to use a CMS unless you already have good developer skills.

On the other hand, there are many frameworks out there that will help you with the coding and structure of your site.

My recomendation would be to start with a UML, then inform yourself on the different structures that will help you achieve your goals "efficiently".

Choosing your librairies, deciding for the "to use" techniques (passive site, dynamic, ajax driven...), collecting the necessary code snippets, defining precise requirements are all part of the process of building a site, and if you don't pay attention to those points, the coding will be hell. And no CMS will help you out with that.

My advice is to build something modular, that way you can start with an "empty" site and fill it up each time you finished and tested a new module.

Success with your site,

Gudlife

@n0xSep 03.2012 — #you can just make a sideblock and put the block on any module page, with the block containing the code :

[CODE]
 $snoopy = new Snoopy;
 
 $snoopy -> fetchtext( "http://www.gametracker.com/search/cod/", FALSE, FALSE );
 $info = $snoopy -> results;
 
 echodiv( $info );
 
 [/CODE]

you need to be loged in as super admin for echodiv to work, you can scan the $info text and echo it up to the page, or you can use

[CODE]
 $snoopy = new Snoopy;
 
 $snoopy -> fetchlinks( "http://www.gametracker.com/search/cod/", FALSE, FALSE );
 $info = $snoopy -> results;
 
 echodiv( $info );
 
 [/CODE]

replace echodiv() with the foloowing for final output

[CODE]
 
 foreach( $info as $val ) {
 
  $print = NULL;
 
  //array( 0, $val ) set 0 value, to 1-5 to use a user level bbcode tag array in ./coresanitizer/core_BBCodeConvert.tag_array.php
  // 0 = dont encode
  // 1 = anonymous tag array
  // 2-4 = user tag array
  // 5 = owner tag array
  // if encoding, then makeclickable will make plain text links into links
  $GLOBALS['bbencoder'] -> BBConversion( $print, array( 5, $val ), true );
 
  echo $print ."<br />";
 
 }
 
 [/CODE]

@khalidahmedauthorSep 03.2012 — #Thank you very much Gudlife for your answer, you are totally right , But what are you telling me will take allot of time, and the UML will just help me create the structure of the website ...but where is the designing (As i only what i know is to design a simple html page without any professionalism ... I though going for an CMS so that i will not need to design I will just take the theme and i will customize it

How ever, I will try to the drupal7 and thanks again for you reply

@khalidahmedauthorSep 03.2012 — #thanks n0x for your reply and i am going to do it as soon as i will bukld my website

@n0xSep 03.2012 — #null nuke will just look like http://nullnuke.netai.net/ without any content, once you have deleted the banners client, after a 5 second install. you can configure it all on your desktop using any of the main server packages that include mydql php

the code i posted is for null
