As some of you know, Argonath Express was the Official Journalist Agency of the United States of Argonath known for consistently producing news articles and interviewing prominent figures in Argonath, complete with its own website (http://www.news.argonathrpg.com) and forums (http://www.news.argonathrpg.com/forum). However, it has fallen over time into a state of inactivity due to the lack of time and resources from its Leadership.
After several years of inactivity, I have decided to restore Argonath Express, but I cannot do it alone. Therefore, I am opening key positions that will make it possible to resurrect the once-great Agency.
The goal and agenda of the restored Argonath Express is to serve as the nation's Journalist Agency while providing the civilian populace with jobs that produce decent amounts of income. While we are not hiring staff for every post in the Agency yet, I will need to gather a team in order to assist me in the reorganization.
Currently Open Posts:
- 1. Finance Manager (1 post): He / She will assist me with the financial aspects of the company, such as procuring funds from the Government or the BSF to make the distribution of salaries for our staff possible.
- Qualifications: Has to be good at financial management, trusted record as a player
- 2. Webmaster/s: They will be intrusted with forum and site maintenance for Argonath Express.
- Qualifications: Skilled at Joomla / SMF
Once these positions are filled in, we will begin choosing further staff.

The website is based on Joomla while the forums are run on SMF.

for me, both arent working :neutral:
-
The website is under lockdown which I have been unable to remove, there must be a problem with the site's mechanism or a minor error in the hosting, as any attempts by me to take the Joomla site off lockdown are blocked.
The forums are fine though.

So that's why i have to keep logging in...
I can go on and look at it, but I think it automatically turns off everyone's admin privileges, I can't do anything on the website but read the articles and post them.

I can work on both then,not a big problem

What do you mean by lockdown? Maybe I can help you out :)
-
I know how to take the site off lockdown, and I have the proper access and settings.
However, every time I try to do so, I get an error message.

Are you skilled at Joomla, SMF, or both?: SMF
Your previous experience with Joomla / SMF / both: SMF: I have worked on a few forums which use Simple Machines, I am currently working on my own website, which will be using this, I worked on a tech website (now defunct) for around 2 years as a forum moderator. I also have used PhpBB2/3 forums a few times as well. Joomla: Not so much, I am using Joomla currently, as I plan on using it for my website, so currently, I am working on it. So i feel I have Some knowledge about the Joomla software, but I'm improving!
And am certainly willing to get better with Joomla!
-
Things may be delayed, as I accidentally the Argonath Express Forums while getting rid of the numerous amount of spam accounts that have registered, by deleting both Administrator accounts by accident.
I would require the assistance of individuals who can set rights on that forum (Rusty or MorlanV) to retrieve administrative rights, or request the owners to re-boot the forums. The latter sounds more appealing due to the vast amount of archived boards and posts (many of which are now currently irrelevant and years out of date) on the said forums.
Recommendations are still open though, but I could not promise that someone will be accepted.

You could close down that site and start up a new one and start fresh.

That's exactly what I'm not capable of... the closest I can do to that is erase everything in the forum and reconstruct it.
Do you have rights to change accounts' ranks to Administrator?

Wait, could you not just ask Gandalf to delete all of the files from the sub domain? Then he provide you with the credentials to manage the sub domain?

I'll try now.
EDIT: I can't seem to get onto it.

Profile > Account Settings > Primary Membergroup > Select "Administrator"
Does your rank have access? I was able to self-set my administrator rights after I succeeded Xavas as the CEO.

I meant I couldn't actually get on the website, I might have got the link wrong, what is it?

Oh, I went onto the main site.
Yeah, I can change account's.

I can't see this being a hosting problem, but a permision one, we can do things fine at mediacenter.argonathrpg.com.

Wouldn't it be more effective to use these forums for communication, and your 'news' domain as a simple appealing attractive blog?

That is exactly my plan, which is why I need to give the forums a major overhaul. The problem is for some reason, despite having admin rights next only to the Owners', I cannot unlock the Joomla site as some error prevents it.
-
If your gonna have it as a blog then please keep the theme classic,the style will mess it up for you bad D:
-
The best of luck.
Hopefully the (old?) heads of AE got my forum message about the past AEVC branch.
-
I did. AEVC is currently nonexistent.
-
Wow, late reply, sorry, but yeah, still interested JDC :P
-
I did. AEVC is currently nonexistent.
Good to hear.
Sorry about the way we had to go on it, but we will still have to stay in that position.
Also, as my signature may suggest there is a new community based project that's being worked on right now for the VC:MP community.
Best of luck.
