I already knew that btp uses css, the three-frame layout, and i love it, however something has always bugged me, and now that im making a site for our gaming company. i need to know something.

I noticed that btp has many pages and every page has a sidebar. How do you efficiently put so many sidebars on every page without it taking hours to fix a problem like a broken link or using frames?

BTP uses a file (or many other files) called config.php. It uses all these things that make btp look nice and purty
when making pages, all we'd have to do was use:
require("config.php");
and
endpage();
to make everything btp show in the file, which gets displayed in the middle
...so its pretty complicated, my brain sorta combusted when i viewed it

edit: oh i forgot, the left, top and right stuff are all seperate files for easy editing and crap like that, so i guess its config's job to display them all n' shizzle

hmmmm, does this mean i have to learn php?

or is there a tutorial on this.

prolly, unless you you could get CSS to show links on each page

edit: although i like the idea of frames with btp, so pages you load, load in the middle without actually having to reload all of btp over and over

Frames are ugly though. And it's not like it takes long to load BTP..

i don't see what would be ugly, its just leaving the main menu, topstuff, and rightstuff from loading every page, and only update if a new shout or word/user/PM/etc. has been added

Which happens about every 5 minutes, and without it refreshing every 5 minutes, how would you know it's there?
Plus, look at websites with frames, they just don't look as nice.

this works - lol
tutorial thingy
you guys helped me find this at least
thanks guys!
