Aye ziggy, i just downloaded a free template and changed the images in photoshop and some colours in the CSS sheet and just applied the template to the site. Theres loads of ones you can download for free.
I used a book called 'Building Websites with Joomla' by Packt publlishing which i downloaded for free from mininova. This has a step by step guide to building your website and publishing it. It also has a chapter showing you how to create your own template for use with joomla.

Has anyone out there with a joomla/mambo website got a good component for displaying league tables? i know there's a Joomleague component but i couldnt be assed customising it to display GAA scores. The only place i've seen one that's not just plain html is here;

I don't think that simonstown site has a content management system though?
Seriously, for any of you setting up websites for your clubs you'd need to have a content management system. The simonstown site there, is like our old site, where the pages have to be edited offline in dreamwweaver/frontpage and uploaded. In this case it's usually left up to one person that knows what they're doing and will eventually piss you off.
I have 7 people in the club now that can upload notes etc, which means i have very little work to do on the site.
The sites below use content management systems similar to joomla;

Aye Ziggy. Got sick of updating the old html based site so i replaced it with that one about a year ago using Joomla. It's far far handier. You don't need to have dreamweaver/frontpage to update it or have any web design experience at all.
For any of you thinking about setting up a club website, i'd recommend using Joomla. The way i have it now, the Chairman, Secretary, PRO and a few others can all update the site by just logging in and typing into a user friendly interface. It can even be updated from your blackberry/mobile.

It's really easy to set up, just check www.joomla.org.

Feck Ziggy, my hosting and domain is only costing about £30 a year

I think we all know there'll be people jumping on the bandwagon in every county

back on to the price of tickets, £17 into the pat mcgrane (sp) for the first round of the ulster championship was a bit steep i thought! and no student discounts? Is the same pricing scheme used for all games? do the Ulster Council release info at the start of the championship in regards to entry fees??

Also, something that quite annoys me every year at clones, why don't they give you a ticket once you've paid in? How do they count the number of people that were at the game?
It would be a pity to say i didnt trust the guy i gave my £17 to, but i didnt! I heard stories in the past about people making financial gains at the gates, wouldn't like to think its still happening.

Drumragh beat Dregish in both games, ..just about

lads thats at least the third time hes been in the hatfield this term. and although he wasn't "the annoying wee **** we see on the tv" hes being bit of a sleeze in there(possibly on LaoisLad proportions). Is he married? because I know there's a certain young lady he met in there that he keeps ringing & txting to meet up with him next time he visits!
Although I wouldn't want to start any rumors..... roll on Athens!

Drumragh beat Owen Roes by two points.
The Tatts beat Errigal Thirds by 10 points

Fionntamhnach, did you use joomla or somethin similar for that site? I just redone our site using joomla, which i've never used before. Just wondering do you know where to get a good component for displaying the league tables? Been looking online and theres lots for other sports, but i dont know how to configure them to suit our scores

Seen an interview with Long in one of the papers before an FA cup game a month or two ago.
He was asked if he was nervous about the prospect of playing in front of a full house. He replied with something along the lines of "No, sure I played in front of 70,000 in and AI Semi-Final when I was 16, and again the year after so its no big deal"

Here it is;

1   Rock v Drumragh
2   Beragh v Castlederg
3   Tattyreagh v Clogher
4   Newtownstewart v Derrytresk
5   Errigal Ciaran 3rds v Dregish



Owen Roes v Winner 2
Brackaville v Glenelly
Winner 4 v Winner 3
Winner 5 v Winner 1

Anyone notice an advert in the Herald this last few weeks for home heating oil, saying that they will make a donation to your club or the county if you purchase oil from them? But it doesn't say who the oil company is?

I though it was the Wackfucks?

you mean "the Wackfuck" !

when you hear this term being used, it means we're chatin about you Supersarsfields
