[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 2019107, member: 87"] Don't shut up. I can use this thread later on. Understand though that right now I'm not working with that final "presentation" layer. The code that displays this board is divided into three distinct layers. The lowest layer is SQL and is ran by MySQL. That layer is what stores the information. It's complete, more or less. The second, and the one I'm working on now, is the access layer, written in PHP and stored in the server file system. The final layer is in XML, stored in templates. I'm not going to worry too much about the XML for the moment. Vbulletin is a beautiful program that is very malleable. One of the reasons for this malleability is that none of the display elements are stored in the PHP code - in stark contrast to other systems you might have worked with Khur. I don't have to rewrite the PHP code in any way to modify the appearance of the pages. When the time comes, I'll work with that portion, but for now I'm working with the PHP code itself. General update. The Publisher page now has an alphabetical list that allows you to find publishers by the first letter of their name. It's a little buggy in that the pagenav isn't working properly with it yet - but I'm getting there. UPDATE: Got that bug - works fully now. Moving to products. [/QUOTE]
