Complete noob trying to create an intranet

Hi All…

This is my first post “of many, Im guessing”. I have installed and setup appache and the server is up and running. Im going to create an intranet and was wondering what application I should use to start adding content to the php server? Apologies if Im being vauge as I say this is the start of something new for me.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Well Ive made progress… A very basic 2 page site at the mo. Just starting to build content into it. I have read about iframes - what I am trying to do is to add a calender into the home page. I have created the calendar php page and then linked the 2 with an iframe. The only thing is its size - I wantto be able to position it. Can anyone tell me how to alligh etc within the php page?

Thanks

boy you have a lot to learn :smiley: to align things the way you want you should wrap them in div tags and you can add a class to the div like so:[code]

insert header here
insert left stuff here
insert footer stuff here
[/code] next you need to include a css style sheet in the head of the page: [code][/code] then create your style sheet .leftbody{ float:left; position:absolute; } .footer{ bottom:0px; } ...................................and so on you should try to stay away from using 's, everyone loves tabless sites these days!!!

Thanks,

That seems to position it to the extreme left. I managed to over come the problem with the following code:

Would you say iFrames arent the way to go then?

:slight_smile:

you can position it using padding-left padding-top, padding-bottom or instead of float you can do something like:
[php]

left
{
position:fixed;
top:30px;
left:5px;
}

[/php]
then you can adjust the numbers from there

I’m certainly no expert either ::slight_smile: but for adding content you could install wordpress. This should give you some good insight on using php and mysql. This way atleast you can ‘play’ with the php files and css to get your desired results, and probably learn a little about php along the way… good luck!
