Just wondering, what was the RT site written with, I'm guessing for the main part that there's php, html, css, javascript, etc.

I've probably worded that wrong, what I mean is, was the site created from the ground up by Ben or was it made using something along the lines of Content Management Systems (e.g. Joomla, Wordpress, e107, phpnuke, Drupal, etc, etc) and then just heavily modified?

I ask this because I've made numerous attempts at making my own websites, using both a CMS package and trying to write the raw coding. I've even tried using expression web 4 but there are little to no good tutorials that I can find that describe how to make a rather good looking website (for me anyway) so I'm asking just to see if there's something the RT guys use that I could consider.

I have also considered that I may just be shit at programming

Thanks

Windows - Right Click > View Page Source

Mac- Ctrl+Click > View Page Source

You can view the source code there. Unless you already knew that then nevermind.

Also i suggest researching and downloading the firebug app for the firefox browser

Yeah I did know that but thanks for replying.

The problem with viewing the source code though is that if any of it is written in PHP I won't be able to view the code for that, PHP is a server side language which means all the code written in PHP is executed by the server and isn't performed by the browser or client side so users wouldn't be able to view it.

And I don't use firefox so the firbug app would probably be of little use to me lol :p

Why don't you look at the URL then?

As far as whether which kind of database language he uses, we can only assume MySQL.


Sorry, just read the first post. Dumb me.
Anyway -- this is a newer RT site. And, I believe it's not powered by anyone, I could be wrong though.
Ben's only been working on it for a few years now.

The site has always been developed in-house in PHP. Most of the code has been re-written over time since I started at RT.
