NEW! MSLS Layout Information

[Greg-J]

Welcome,

A new product is on the horizon known as MySpace Layout Script or simply MSLS. Layouts in MSLS are no longer stored the way MSRS are, but we did include the feature to import MSRS layouts into MSLS.


Importing from MSRS to MSLS:
The current MSRS structure will work just fine for importing. Any unused files are discarded and if files the script now handles do not exist they are simply ignored.

There is no longer a need for the preview.php page that the preview mod for MSRS made popular as the script supports a much more advanced preview method now.


Image Formats: MSRS is currently limited to .jpg image types however when importing MSRS layouts to MSLS, MSLS will recognize .jpg, .png and .gif for all layout images.


Images: Although MSRS utilizes only a thumb.jpg and bg.jpg, You can import thumb.extension, contact.extension, network.extension and of course bg.extension.


CSS:You do not need to include the image paths for any of the images used in the layout in the css. You may however include style and positioning css in the layouts though. MSLS will take care of the rest.




Importing and exporting MSLS layouts:

As mentioned before, MSLS has it's own layout structure. Once MSRS layouts are imported they can be exported as MSLS layouts and distributed making it much easier for you to distribute your MSLS compatable layouts.


The script has not been released yet but it has been completed. I wanted to give everyone a day or so head start on getting their layouts ready if they included images that are not currently supported by MSRS.


Cheers.

Nice to hear that its done Greg.

Any hints on the pricerange so i can earn up some extra bucks to buy it?? And this will of course be on a one liscense per domain basis as MSRS is correct?

[mawt]

Sounds awesome.
I want to know like selena. haha

[Greg-J]

It is the same single/domain single/license policy, yes. Pricing information will be released soon but expect it to be somewhere around $147.

[vulcanstudios]

Haha no MSRS discount? Well my only question is that I was suprised to see this listed here and not anywhere else is there anywhere else we can go for more sneak peaks?

[nsmchris]

Greg sneaked a peak in another thread a few days ago.

MSLS (http://www.buildrevenues.com/msls/demo1/index.php)

chris...

[Greg-J]

This is just a post to notify designers so they also can prepare for the launch. I'll release more information on the product when it is released.

But for sneak peaks.... If you don't tell anyone ;) demo1 (http://buildrevenues.com/msls/demo1/) and demo2 (http://buildrevenues.com/msls/demo2/) - demo3 will go up sometime tomorrow. I'll still be adjusting all 3 layouts though, so nothing is set in stone. All 3 themes will come with the script though.

[Selena]

Eh just one small error i found, maybe you have a few bugs to work out or something, idk but if you click to preview the layout, and you enter like something other than a friend id, it doesn't let you enter it again for any other layout, just says invalid friend id, and won't let you enter it again no matter what.

i didn't know what to put in the "submit query" form so i just typed "yeah" and obviously that wasn't it HAHA.

[YabbaDoo]

It ONLY supports .jpg?
I'm out then lol...I only use .GIF and .PNG :(

[Selena]

It ONLY supports .jpg?
I'm out then lol...I only use .GIF and .PNG :(

MSRS only supports .jpg
the new MSLS, which is the script he is describing, which isn't a full myspace resource script, simple a layout script, will support .png, .jpg, and .gif...

lol. im totally in. its probably brilliantly written, and will probably do so well.

Ohhhhh...I SEE!!!!
So this one supports PNG Layouts YAAAAYYY!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:
I do love my super-slow loading, not-so-browser-friendly PNGs...They're the best :P

I ADORE the look of Demo 2....It looks sexxxyyyy :O
I want it...Shame it is just Layouts only though...I could get a myspace layouty related domain and just have a layouts site...Ahh you should make it support all other layouts too including Bebo Skins :P
Have a big *** layout site lol...Yeah, I'm getting good vibes now haha!

[deep]

This one looks nice, im actually planning on adding a rating thing like you did to my layouts.

I might buy it later on!

I think that MSRS is going to be called RS.. This is because it will have a wide range of compatibility. So you can have a site with Bebo, Friendster, Everyone's Space, ect. codes and layouts.

Dont take my word though.. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

[DavidR]

Seems a great deal of excitment about nothing much in my opinion.

[silentsummit]

Well you are entitled to your opinion but, i think it will be great. It will be a great script to have just layouts. When some people dont like generators, codes ect.

[DavidR]

Well you are entitled to your opinion but, i think it will be great. It will be a great script to have just layouts. When some people dont like generators, codes ect.

It will be an improvement on what you have, sure. But wouldn't you prefer to take a leap forward, not just a step? It's still quite behind what is possible.

[silentsummit]

It may be behind.. But there will be updates. Most things dont come out perfect in the first release.

[Greg-J]

@DavidR,
As a general rule, don't insult the forum owner;) More so when that individual is closer to the source and more connected with the other individuals who have their finger on the pulse of this niche than quite possibly anyone else.

Making an early opinion to the nature of the product is somewhat ignorant considering nobody but myself and Des have any idea how the script works or what its limitations are. It's easy to make assumptions to how it operates, but it's all speculation until it's released.

MSLS is not trying to be the successor to MSRS but rather a companion to MSRS or any other myspace resource site out there. In my experience running resource sites I have found that a profound majority of my users go straight for layouts. My search engine traffic is is dominated by searches for layouts. Much more than any other search terms. The problem with this is that I get nothing but myspace ads giving me 3 cent clicks. By removing the general myspace content structure and adding in titles and description content that relates to other things I am turning my 3 cent clicks into 30 cent clicks.

An example is this:
A visitor to my site that searched for Star Wars Layouts (you would be surprised at how many searches I get for that term) aren't just interested in myspace layouts, they're also interested in Star Wars. The problem is that my resource site is so plastered with myspace terms that Google throws myspace ads at it without prejudice. Remove the myspace references and add in contextually relevant information to your Star Wars layouts in the form of a title and a description and you give Google something to provide ads for. Star Wars related ads pay a hell of a lot more than myspace related ads. The same holds true for any number of subjects or layout categories.

It's actually startling how someone can't see the value in that. I don't just spit out scripts I think will bank a few bucks. This was given a tremendous amount of forethought before the product ever hit the drawing board. When the webmasters here that are hitting in the 6 digits of uniques a day are telling me it's brilliant in private, I'm going to have to question any assertion to the contrary.

By stating that this product is simply a step forward rather than a leap you are operating under the assumption that you know what the product is striving to be and this is obviously not the case. It is not nor does it try to be a replacement for any script that exists including MSRS. To presume it can be more than it is without actually seeing what that amounts to? I'm confused at best if not outright insulted.

[NYCBORN]

I have to agree it is brilliant.

[silentsummit]

Veryy well put greg. I agree with you every bit.

[vulcanstudios]

@DavidR,
As a general rule, don't insult the forum owner;)

Haha that was my first thought when I read this.... I didn't post here because I wanted to avoid the wrath. Greg is all powerful and knowing.

My thought is I can't wait till I get enough layouts to buy this and then I love your layout but users generally like to stay on one site style when their browseing and it freaks them out if they change sites while browsing. So I want to buy it and tear it apart and implement it to my MSRS site. Unless SOMEONE was extremely generous and made a version that could easily addon to MSRS................

[miller2348]

Eagerly anticipating the release date...

[fryman]

All I ask for is a simple way to batch upload layouts. Right now it is a pain... creating folders, putting index files in them, creating thumbnails... do that many times and you go crazy.

[Greg-J]

Thank all of you for your encouragement, it is much appreciated.

In response to integration with MSRS. I am currently working to complete the 3rd template and after that I will then work on a template to seamlessly integrate it into MSRS and if all is well it will keep your current directory structure intact so no lost back links.

Fryman, I'm with you. converting from MSRS to MSLS is as seamless as possible and works wonderfully. In fact, if the layout contains a thumb it will use that for the thumbnail generation. If not, it will use the bg image so there's not a need for a thumb anymore.

Des completed our store this evening so now the only thing delaying release is completion of the 3rd layout. You can see it get completed in realtime as I work on it an demo3 (http://buildrevenues.com/msls/demo3).

Cheers.

[idslamyou]

Perfect, I just purchased a domain last night that would be perfect for this.

Do members who have more that 5 licenses of your products get a discounted copy? ;)

[Selena]

I'm just trying to actually think of a domain haha to use this for. I can see it doing very well and being worth every penny if i do indeed come up with enough money to afford it.

[fryman]

Now I need to start saving so I can buy some good layouts to use with this new script...

[minnseoelite]

I would agree with you Greg as others should not mock something until they actually TRY IT. I am sure everyone remembers when they were young and when asked to try a new food and they would say "I dont like it" and what is every parents response "How do you know you don't like it unless you TRY IT"........I personally think that goes for anything

Now I just need to get the money for this new script......come on tax returns lol

[Jordan]

So this script automatically generates thumbnails for layouts? If so, that is damn handy.

It looks great, can't wait for the release.

[Scilynt]

Can't wait like usual lol.

heheh. You know how some banks have that "xmas account" thing where they automatically take like $50 from your checking and slip it into a special savings account so you have a chunk of money around xmas time? I need one of those for Gregs stuff lol. Maybe I can add that on to my hosting somehow? lol.


After reading the first post the one thing that came to mind is it's really time for a great layout designer. Would be awesome if you could take that one layout designer that was included as a bonus with MSRS and improve upon it to make it the ultimate layout designer and have that as part of MSLS. Would go perfect with it and make it that much more impressive ;).

[Greg-J]

As if that weren't already in the admin backend Scilynt ;)

[mcfox]

Greg! Just gimme the script fer goodness sake!

I hate it when you do this ... 'script nearly ready, blah, blah' and I wait semi-patiently for a week or two and then it's 'almost ready' and then it's 'fixing a few bugs' and then it's 'need to try it out' and, and, and ... just gimme it. I WANT IT NOW!

I like the 3rd demo layout, btw.

Work faster. :hammer:

[MKInfo]

Greg! Just gimme the script fer goodness sake!

I WANT IT NOW!



Work faster. :hammer:

Same goes for me too.This is like torture http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_2_18.gif

[silentsummit]

I know same here. I just got a new domain set up and everything.

[minnseoelite]

if anticipation was death then we would all be 6 feet under by now.........

[chic09]

Does the screenshot previews generates automatically? PM me please :D

[Greg-J]

The thumbnails are generated automatically, yes. The screenshots themselves however are not. I can't even begin to explain the technical barriers to doing something like that, but suffice it so say that it's complicated.

Get a hold on the signature chic09 ;) 180 pixels tall is a bit much ;)

[skipper55]

This post brings me back to a question I asked a while back. What if myspace goes away??? Of course everyone said that it wouldn't. But not with something like this. Really keeps the doors open which is what I was really worried about!!

Good job!

[Greg-J]

With billions of dollars invested, MySpace isn't going anywhere. That's for sure.

[skipper55]

Even if it did I think you are going in a direction that we would be able to survive without it right? At least that's what I see. Thanks for that!

[mcfox]

Get a hold on the signature chic09 ;) 180 pixels tall is a bit much ;)
Done. :death:

[MKInfo]

Do massive smileys count?
http://smilies.ru-board.com/sm/0304a.gif

[Greg-J]

Since this has turned into a quazi-pre-release thread I'll give a little update.

We're installing and testing on multiple servers right now and after that we'll have dinner waiting for us at home and we'll resume release tomorrow.

[vulcanstudios]

Haha Greg it's ok as a designer I totally understand what happens with the process!
You make it and you like cool all I have to do is this and I'm done..... this soon turns out to be some huge problem or some huge idea comes in and you can't manage to just finish it and kick its arse out the door. I wouldn't be suprised if you came back tmrw and were like :censored: it's still not done :)

[Greg-J]

We just don't want to release something we haven't fully tested is all. I know people are going to be irritated it isn't out yet, but in the end I'd rather be known as someone who misses a release date by a couple days than someone who releases shoddy software :)

[Selena]

I'm perfectly willing to wait. I need to purchase a new domain anyhow. I'm probably going to make some newer layouts to put on it and sell them in a package as well :DD

[Greg-J]

We're also setting up the script on hostgator and dreamhost as well before release so there won't be any surprises for those people who are on shared hosting. I'll probably grab a godaddy account too for good measure.


*EDIT*

Alright, got a godaddy account too. I hope between those three we'll be able to cover any possible compatibility issues.

[NYCBORN]

Will this work on Windows IIS/PHP/MYSQL?

[nsmchris]

If you want to test on 1and1 let me know :)

chris...

[Scilynt]

will it work on greghost? lol :biggrin:

[Greg-J]

Hey Chris, is your 1and1 account a Windows server? We want to test it on one.

[silentsummit]

Does it work on VPS?

[Greg-J]

The type of server setup will have no effect on the functionality of the script itself.

[nsmchris]

Greg,

I have a windows and unix account with 1and1. Does that mean there is an ASP version of MSLS?

Chris....

[Greg-J]

No ASP version, no. We've experienced a few headaches (to say the least) with getting IIS to play nice with .htaccess so we're looking for a Windows host that offers IIS/PHP and a decent .htaccess addon to test.

[minnseoelite]

Hey Greg I use hostdepartment.com for my sites. They have both Windows and Unix servers and from what I can tell have pretty much everything enabled so you might want to give them a try. Sorry I have a Unix server (windows is junk) but you can get an account there for like $10 and you can just pay monthy through PayPal so you could get a windows server pay your one month and if they dont have what you need you only lost $10

[Greg-J]

Thank you for the info. I'll have a look.

[NYCBORN]

Looks like a great script.

Cheers.

any updates on this? It's been about a week since you initially posted this.. not trying to be rude just eager to find out when it will be available.. looks like it's going to be a great addition

also.. greg.. pm'd you earlier this week.. wasn't sure if you got it.. any chance you're available to chat?

[Greg-J]

It was done this weekend but we didn't want to release it until this week. It'll be released sometime in the morning though. I'll check my PM's then as well.

Cheers.

[vulcanstudios]

Greg's AIM and other things are available under his name. He's often on, also atm he's server testing. Greg also usually puts together a very well organized presentational post before selling so it takes him time.

Please don't quote the ENTIRE first post cuz that thing is huge!

[juice]

awesome! thank you for the quick reply. I can't wait :)

[minnseoelite]

In the morning as in today's morning or tommarow morning.......sorry im a technical person

[Greg-J]

In the morning like in the next hour or so :D

[Selena]

SWEEEET.
im going to start getting some layouts ready :DD

[silentsummit]

Yeah me too, I can't waittt!

[Greg-J]

There are 6 checkboxes on our testing list and I'm still writing the sales letter, but we are releasing today.

[MKInfo]

Great.Just release it while I'm asleep (UK);)

[silentsummit]

I have like 50 unique layouts made alreadyyy.

What do you need to accomplish Greg?

[Greg-J]

This moment we're still waiting on a final DNS to kick in for godaddy and dreamhost which we fully expected to be done by now. We've installed and tested all 3 templates and all the options on both our own dedicated server as well as on hostgator but considering how many people have shared hosting we're not releasing it until we've tested it on at least those three as most shared hosting companies have some pretty interesting ways of returning paths.

If DNS doesn't happen today it won't be released today. I know a lot of you want it NOW, but it's more important to me to know that when it is released I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing it'll be smooth sailing.

If anyone has a test domain we can use on either godaddy or dreamhost give me a PM and it'll speed up release.

[MKInfo]

Pming with dreamhost details.

[Greg-J]

Cheers.

Now anyone with a GoDaddy account?

[vulcanstudios]

Yep I have a one month GoDaddy, I don't like it but I have it. Dedicated IP also.

[Greg-J]

Our DNS finally went through for GoDaddy and it's a good thing we waited to release as GoDaddy does some pretty funky things with our paths so we're working on making it compatible now.

So much for releasing this morning.... (this is why I don't like release dates)

[vulcanstudios]

Just a mention if my paths aren't closed on godaddy then it doesn't work. I just close all links with a "/" and it works. So if thats your path problem it's simple but time consuming.

[ifreemyspacelayout]

is there any way you can make the script to pull up pictures from photobucket so it doesn't load to heavy on the server?

[vulcanstudios]

Well a way you could do this is to change all the variables that detect the current folder for images and change it so that it somehow points to the photobucket album where it pulls the images from. A lot more complicated than that but if I get my hands on it (which money wise isn't very soon) then I'll start releasing plugins for it like I've started doing for the MSRS script.

[minnseoelite]

:gun_bandana: :s .......aaah the anticipation someone just shoot me lol well i am glad you making sure it runs on shared servers as that is what I currently have

[Greg-J]

@ifreemyspacelayout @vulcanstudios,
This feature was one of the very first implemented. It's much more advanced than simply loading a picture from a remote location though. I think you'll all be presently surprised.

We've solved the issues related to how shared hosts deal with global paths and implementing the change as I type.

[vulcanstudios]

YEA!!!! I still can't wait to mod the balls out of, for some reason I always find the things I don't like and have to mess with em. For instance did you get this MSRS integradable? If it's not no worries... I'll shread it anyways and make it work

[Greg-J]

The url structure is such that you could install the script into your MSLS Layouts folder (replacing the MSRS layout module with MSLS) and all your urls would remain intact once you used the MSRS Import option in the admin panel, yes. The script can also be installed in any directory, sub directory, sub domain etc...


I haven't done a theme for it that mimics the look of MSRS - mostly because I'm sick of looking at that layout... It will be something I work on in the next couple weeks though, so seamless MSRS integration isn't far off at all for those who don't want to theme the scrip themselves.

[Kyle]

wow that script looks crazy. You're killing me with the anticipation Greg !

[juice]

greg.. I can't seem to find your IM info as vulcanstudio mentioned.. is it possible you could pm me an aim/msn username if you have a second to chat? wanted to get your feedback on some tweaks if possible..

[Greg-J]

My AIM is eeosone. Feel free to message me now if you like.

[ifreemyspacelayout]

one more thing greg, are you going to have a ecommerce site for your script?

[Greg-J]

one more thing greg, are you going to have a ecommerce site for your script?
Yes. Read on...

While I'm finishing up the sales information and documentation, you are more than welcome to sneak a license if you are confident you know you want a copy.

So without further delay:
(msls) purchase link (http://buildrevenues.com/store/order.php?cmd=products/licenses/view&license_id=6)

[MKInfo]

Ooooooooh!
I see a place to put a Discount Voucher: you really need to test that...........................waits for PM :innocent:


:biggrin: MK

[Greg-J]

It's a store feature we have yet to remove ;)

[MKInfo]

It's a store feature we have yet to remove ;)

You can't blame a dog for trying......:yes:

[Kyle]

So if we buy it right now is it ready to use? And if you don't mind me asking how many layouts does it come with?

[MKInfo]

Very smooth buy.Went like a dream.Now I just need to decide what domain to put it on.

http://www.myspacepros.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[Greg-J]

It's ready to go, yes. It has no layouts included at this point though.

[Kyle]

ok

how does the format of layouts go? you can pm me.

[MKInfo]

It's ready to go, yes. It has no layouts included at this point though.

Are you going to include some?If so will they be the same ones you used to test on my host?
If not I will delete them
Thanks
Rob

[Greg-J]

I do not own the rights to those layouts, just used them for testing.

I'll create my own sample ones. I don't want to include too many though. I included the Star Wars ones with MSRS and now EVERYONE has them . . .

[Greg-J]

@kh1,

You can use the MSRS Layout structure as it imports MSRS Layouts. The actual layout.dat structure is an associative array so the only way to really "create" layouts in MSLS format is to create them in MSLS by creating a new layout from the admin panel or importing MSRS layouts.

[Kyle]

So am I screwed if I don't have MSRS in the first place?

[Selena]

I'll create my own sample ones. I don't want to include too many though. I included the Star Wars ones with MSRS and now EVERYONE has them . . .

Not me :DDD
Not that they aren't good, I just wanted my layouts to be unique.

Well now that MSLS is released, now to buy one of those 3 domains i thought of...and gather up enough cash to purchase it :D

[Greg-J]

@kh1,
not at all. More documentation will be available upon release. Think of this post as a pre-release post for those too anxious to wait.

[MKInfo]

I do not own the rights to those layouts, just used them for testing.

I'll create my own sample ones. I don't want to include too many though. I included the Star Wars ones with MSRS and now EVERYONE has them . . .

Ok I will delete them.I think i have most of them anyway.

Hey MK, PM coming your way.

[Kyle]

Just sent you a PM too

[silentsummit]

It is awesome I'll tell you that much.

[Kyle]

I'm installing it right now, can't wait :). Thanks for the pre-sales support Greg

[silentsummit]

It is great.

[juice]

This is for a single domain installation? if we have multiple domains on a box can we point them all to it?

doh.. didn't get to the eula yet.. I see it now..

though on the user cp..

Expires: Never
Hostname: Any
IP: Any
Install Limit: Unlimited

unlimited installs?

[Des]

The store is still under going changes.

But it is one install, on one domain. Once you install it, the hostname will change to where you installed it to, and wont work anywhere else, unless Greg or myslef change it for you. The license however, does not ever expire.

[juice]

ok.. that makes sense..

[juice]

so torn.. bought 5 new domains the other day and can't figure out which one to use for this..

[Greg-J]

so torn.. bought 5 new domains the other day and can't figure out which one to use for this..
Well obviously the only solution is to get 5 licenses and put one on all of them ;)

[juice]

i'd love to.. if there was like a bulk discount ;)

[juice]

I'm having some problems trying to actually get this installed.. the ReadMe.txt points to a dead url..

http://www.buildrevenues.com/forum/view.php?pg=mslsreadme

*edit* nm i see the install.php.. missed it the first time i guess..

[Greg-J]

Aye, the documentation is yet to be set up - hence no formal release yet.

You should have access to the (msls) Owners forum here on myspacepros though. If not, shoot me a PM.

[juice]

doh.. new problem..

You are missing the ixed loaders. please create a directory in the install folder called ixed, then download the ixed.zip file extract and ftp the contents of that folder to your newly created ixed folder. Buildrevenues.com


I'm running php 5.2.0 on freebsd 6-current

am i SOL?

[Des]

check the owners forums, I'll make a post in there about it. It is an easy fix just so everybody knows ;)

[Greg-J]

am i SOL?

Not at all. It's a simple php setting that every host we have used allows you to set if it's not set already. It will be in the installation instructions as well.

[Scilynt]

doh.. new problem..

I also need access to the owners forum.

[minnseoelite]

But it is one install, on one domain. Once you install it, the hostname will change to where you installed it to, and wont work anywhere else, unless Greg or myslef change it for you. The license however, does not ever expire.

If this script is tied to a specific webhost then we can never sell the site to anyone else cause once they try to move the domain to their host the site will stop working.......

He says its possible for him or Greg to change it. So in the event you sell the site to someone else, then just have greg or Des change the hostname...no biggie, if i'm correct

I believe you can 'transfer' the license if it's anything like MSRS was. There were some rules to it however, I think.

[minnseoelite]

Yea I know Greg or Rob could change it it just makes more unneeded hassle to sell your site. Greg since the hostname can only be changed by you guys does that mean the script validates the host its running on by continuously checking back with your servers.......hope not as this will double the sites chances of having downtime :(

Not trying to be rude or anything I just want to get all the info I need before deciding to purchase or not.

@minnseoelite
I'm not sure where you get your information from, but I would be interested to know what your figures are based on. We do allow license transfers, in fact it is in the eula. We do periodical checks on the domain, not all the time. We spent a great deal of time deciding on when to do the check, and how often because of the potential for an issue.

If you already own a license, but do not have access to the owner forums, login to the store, then in the top right there will be a link to your account page. Add your MySpacePro's user name and password, save. After you save you should see your id number. Then click the synchronize button at the bottom. You will have access to the owners forums.

[Scilynt]

Thanks for that des. Got access now.

[minnseoelite]

@des i am not getting my info from anywhere they are just questions that have come to mind based on experiences with the way previous scripts i have used and was just wanting to know BEFORE i purchased the script as i dont want a script that relied on another site being up in order to validate and work.

MKOnce you are sync'ed you should see the new MSLS forums here just above the MSRS forums. Were you sure to add your myspacepros username and pass in the section that asked for it?

[MKInfo]

I'm in now thanks.
Des sorted me out :)

Anyone that owns a MSLS site have any adsense stats to share? I'm just curious how it does compared to MSRS.

I didn't think this has been released yet has it?

[Des]

MSLS was released yesterday, but it wasnt a official release. You can purchase it at http://buildrevenues.com/store

[George]

Well thanks a freakin lot Greg!!

I just bought a myspace site the otehr day. Sure wish I'd have known about this release!!

-GB

[Greg-J]

Sorry George,

It hasn't officially been released yet so I haven't made the announcement. We're clearing up a path issue before release so sit tight and you'll be notified when it has been officially released.

Cheers.

Hey,

So happy I won this script :D

Thought i'd post my MSLS which im currently working on to show how easy it is to modify. Compared to MSRS which I thought was easy this is a piece of cake.

Already, if you see what ive currently done it took me literally 15 minutes (not including designing the logo etc.) to do what ive done. Not a huge difference yet but working on it.

LayoutCow (MSLS) (http://www.layoutcow.com)

Im going to work on combining parts of the other templates into this template and also work on further design changes :)

Thanks,
Dean

[MrWizard]

dean,

Nice tweaking on that design! MOO! Loved your adsense ads on page 2!

[Greg-J]

Very cool Dean. I'll keep an eye on that one.

[Dean]

Thanks Greg and Mr. Wizard, what was the ads? Something related to cows lol?

Also Greg, would it be OK to drop you a PM regarding some template MODs im hoping to do? Had a little go with some things earlier that I didnt understand so when I get round to them if I cant figure it out i might need a hand :)

Can do you one better Dean. Templating sub-forum has been setup, so ask away and I'll respond and hopefully we can help some other people with the same requests.


Cheers.

Main portal page isn't loading. Geting a 404, do you have a demo? I'm interested in buying the script.

[Mixi]

this looks interesting. I have a few questions first

1.For the categories can they be alphabetical order?
2.For the ads if I use different formats will the table stretch to fit it?
3.How did it work on shared hosting?
4.I read that it now automatilly creates thumbnails but not screenshots right? in the portal demo it had the screenshots did you just put those for example purposes?
5.In the portal theme I didnt see a # option for like bands or artist that begin with numbers and not letters
6.Can I change the amount of layouts per page?
7.Can I change from lets say top 20 layouts to top 10 layouts?

In the future will you allow people to maybe create their own themes so it can be totally unique

[Des]

@1337emp
The demo site is up there is also 2 other demo sites displaying the other stock templates.
http://www.buildrevenues.com/msls/demo2/index.php
http://www.buildrevenues.com/msls/demo3/index.php

@mixi
1.Categories are displayed by weight that is set in the admin panel
2.I am not 100% sure because I didnt not style those, Greg will have a definate answer on this though.
3.It works fine on shared hosting
4.You can set the thumbnail in the admin panel, or when importing layouts. IF no thumbnail is provided it defaults to the background image.
5.No there is no number search by default, but this can be added easily.
6.Yes this is a setting the admin options.
7. Yes very easily

It already runs off a template system, so you can create your own themes.

dean,

Nice tweaking on that design! MOO! Loved your adsense ads on page 2!

Now if only we could get people interested in Forex and financial layouts.................:)

[Mixi]

Greg can you tell me will the tables expand if use a different ad format?

[MKInfo]

Dunno about width but they do for depth

[Mixi]

Thanks mkinfo


I was worried about the width. Can I change it to 500px in the template? if so im in

[Benz]

This one looks nice, im actually planning on adding a rating thing like you did to my layouts.

I might buy it later on!
