Who else designs sites and plays around with codes?

Would you use vBulletin 5?


vBulletin Announces Simpler, More Social Community Website Software

outside of my actual gig, I'm learning my way around drupal. that about it
I installed Drupal and played around with it. I tried connecting it to vBulletin 4 at one time before I settled on Wordpress. There were some Drupal theme sites that were so good that I wished I had that level of skill in designing themes. I've gotten good though so I'mma check out some Drupal themes and see if I can make imitations of some of their themes for xenforo. Do you know of any good theme sites for Drupal?

This is an example of code I wrote 3 months ago for a web app:

You mean CSS or HTML5??

Does this shyt for a living. :myman:

I'm using Drupal and Sharepoint as we speak. :thumbsup:
Do you have any experience using preg_replace? I'm trying to figure this shyt out.

A dude I asked told me it works like this:

Separate text on chunks and group them:
Search: #(aaa.*?bbb)(ccc.*?ddd)(eee.*?fff)#s
Replace: $1 insertedText1 $2 insertedText2 $3 insertedText3

But I don't know what the aaa. and bbb etc represents. Plus that .*? shyt throws me off.

I'm looking at some php manuals though so I might figure it out.

I think so. There's this modification for both vBulletin and xenForo called the Template Modification System that lets you apply template edits without having to actually touch the site's templates by using String Replace, Preg Replace and PHP Callback. String Replace is easy for novices like me. The problem is that if you have multiple edits in the same template you should either change the whole template or create multiple String Replace TMS edits. With Preg Replace you can do it in one go... and I don't even f*ck with PHP Callback because I'm not a programmer or coder etc. I just pimp sh!t out.

For any small/corporate site i build on wordpress...for more activity/social driven sites im trying to get my ruby on rails game up. Wordpress has really stepped it up since version 3, the use of custom fields shyts on everything.

All design I do now is responsive.

Some of my recent work:
LGD Communications | Miami Digital Social Media Marketing Ad Agency
MySocialite.com Coming Soon | Social Networking for Nightlife (coming soon)
Marquis | Downtown Miami's best luxury condos (just coded not designed)
Will Brennan | Official Site for Wayward Minds Recording Artist Will Brennan
BeingSPOT.com | Official Site for Grand Hustle Recording Artist SPOT

What's every workstation setups like?

At the office I have a iMac 27" with a veritcal oriented 24" second display(coding is easier when you can see more of the code) and a desktop running ubuntu 12 as our local dev environment.

At home I'm running windows 8 on a i5 samsung laptop with ubuntu running as my local dev server in a virtual machine. Ubuntu stays fullscreen on the laptop and my external monitor has the windows 8 running.
