chernojourno 226 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) The Chernarus Free Press is a website for all of the media that operates within the world of DayZ. I imagine it to be a newspaper that links to other media sources such as the Dayz radio stations the photographers, podcasts etc.Take a look around yourself at http://chernarusfreepress.com/If there are other DayZ media organisations that would like to be linked or need somewhere to host their content the CFP would be glad to help. The website has been built with a easy to use and robust CMS system so I can provide you with your own pages around the same newspaper template where you can have your own content hosted. If you're interested just post here or PM me.Any feedback would be appreciated. Edited March 3, 2013 by Cherno Journo 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Lovin your work, looks great.And just because I always wanted to say it, " NO COMMENT!". Edited March 3, 2013 by Fraggle 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Thank you Fraggle. I have loads of hosting space spare so I'm hoping some of the smaller DayZ media can utilize some my space to host their own content as I've spent a lot of time getting the design and CMS sorted so it's now easy for anyone to upload and host.

Elias (DayZ) 57 Posted March 4, 2013 You've done a very nice job, it looks amazing. Nice artwork, good articles and funny little jokes; with the adverts. A lot of work went into all that, I'm sure!I also like what you did, giving it the look and feel of a real Chernarus newspaper. Thanks for your effort, I favorited it and I'll be checking back to keep myself informed! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chernojourno 226 Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. It took us a while to get the newspaper feel down right. I'm still not sure about the font, I think some people find it hard to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthWolfe 3 Posted March 9, 2013 What a magnificent idea, and the execution approaches perfection. Wish all journalist has a tenth of you professionalism, integrity, and work ethic.I would like to know, if you're willing to share, the software that was used in the creation of such a clean, and seamless looking website.Thanks for this great addition to the DayZ world. As a veteran tired of this game, it is resources like yours that keep me in touch, interested, and in the community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chernojourno 226 Posted March 11, 2013 I would like to know, if you're willing to share, the software that was used in the creation of such a clean, and seamless looking website.The backend is all controlled by a PHP called PHPWCMS. http://www.phpwcms.de/ It allows a web designer to create the templates and do all the hard work of making it look beautiful while I can just log into the back end and put up the content quite easily. I don't know much about web design but I liked this approach because you can make something that looks great but is still easy for a layperson such as myself to use and update. There are some great examples in the CMS forums of other websites that look really good using this approach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthWolfe 3 Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks, will definitely give it a try.And don't sell yourself short, there is a lot of creativity, knowledge, love, and hard work contained in your site.Definitely on of the best things in the community, if not the best.I salute you, Sir.
