Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I was hopeing someone could point me in the right direction on how to learn how to mod your website with the ability for the AWARDS and to link a wikipedia page to your website for training purposes. I am in a corp that is in need of a place to record its histroy and a place for all its members to train and this mehod seems the best, we also have other games and this awards system is perfect.

The first step is to pick a forum package, in the case of e107 it's php based iirc. Simply find the programming interfaces for the bulletin board and code it, otherwise you may have to modify the package itself. There are similar bulletin boards. like vbulletin, but the development environment may differ based on the primary language the board is written in. If you have coding skills find a bulletin board package that has a framework you are comfortable in, otherwise go to rentacoder.com or a similar site and ask for estimates to have it made for you. Good luck

What Ykatni said pretty much. Before coming to Agony, I did some web work for a previous corp I was in. Seemed like most of the open source software out there for Eve has expansions built in to work with PHPBB, so that's what I used then. I'm not a fan of PHPBB, but since most of the integration work had already been done, that's the route I went with. Several of the forum software packages are PHP based, so if you have an app development background you can pretty easily tailor e107, PHPBB, or vBulletin to do what you want. But you'll want to setting on your primary forum backend first, then build off from that database.
