I got iis5 php and mysql
i am trying to set up PHP on apache. i haven't done it before on winXP, and it's not working. i might just go back to 2k.
Is it going to be a server, or is it ur general computer?
Have you got it working now?
my computer. I have no idea how to start working on the forum though.
I'm still learning php how about you sail?
We need to plan the forum
Post your ideas for the forum here is what I have so far
- Customizable
- Moderaters
- Forum Code
- Smilies / Admin can add or remove smilies
- Forum Code for formating text
- Bad word filter
- Owner can edit/delete own post
- Multi Forums and Catagorys
And all the ussual stuff
we can use the basic ideas from the main BB's. like VBulletin and UBB. ok, and dork, i am just starting to learn.
I'm learning aswell shouldn't take to long php seems like a easy language to learn
phatBB sounds pretty good
I'm insterested in joining this!:D
I think we should have it look A LOT like vBulletin (everything, except maybe the copyright footer;)).
The forum should have very detailed administration features, such as disabling/enabling attachments, avatars, guest posting, etc.
The forum statistics should work, also, with an option to recount membership, repair boards/forums, disable post counts in specific forums, and stuff like that. (Basically a combination of OpenBB's features and looks with YaBB's administration powers):cool: ;) :p
hey, get PHP coder, it is a cool IDE for PHP. it will help us.
Are we going to start from scratch, or are we going to use OpenBB as a "base"?
I use notepad or wordpadQuote:

I think that we're gonna start from scratch...
Okay.:)
...although I DO think that will more than likely triple our coding time.
OK fine, we can use openBB as a base if you want.
Send it to me, I'll have a look in about 2-3 weeks
Supposed to be studying atm....
lol
It's a great big rip off from vBulletin it looks
I guess all would have to be, to be a good forum
Do we have to show that it was a openBB base forum?
or just modify it and call it our own?
What hacks do you want me to work on for it?
that's alot of quesitons :eek:
Well...if we do a MAJOR overhaul, I believe that we don't need to include a reference to OpenBB (By that, I mean modifying EVERY file majorly).
Look at http://www.eisecure.f2s.com (http://www.eisecure.f2s.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl is a YaBB version). Look at the board statistics, and look at the number of posts/threads. There's 0 threads, but i've got one in the anouncements forum. If I delete that, it becomes -1.Quote:

Obvious bug there.:rolleyes: :D
nah, it's so that you can get rid of threads (i.e. free up space) and still let ppl keep their post count.
Like my first 1000 posts probably don't exist anymore :(
Yes, but maybe we can fix is so it doesn't screw up the counter, and still have people keep their post counts.
You can have 2 options.
We can add these admin hacks maybe
1. Delete inappropriate thread
2. Normal Delete (to free space)
1 - Kills post count as well
2 - Let's them keep their post count ;)
Also, if you will take a look at YaBB's admin features, I think they deserve to be in OpenBB as well.:)
Post them here?
?
Sorry, I don't get what you mean.
Post the admin options here

Well we start with one, host it see what ppl think then have a forum feedback and go from there.
What do you want me to work on?
um...you can start the admin functions...
If i am online:

have a look,
we need to decide on a color scheme for our demo methinks...
OpenBB SQL
An Error has occured, please contact the system administrator.

Try again
I can also do graphics, but I'll let you do that ;)

Moderators - For all Forums, or specify which forums they have control of?
You two talk alot :P almost done my homework (had to design a web page using html dhtml and had to do it in notepad) ahhh lol
really good ideas
think it should be specified witch forums moderators have rights to
and welcome eiSecure
it should be both...
http://144.132.20.16/phatBB/
have a look
Dork 1.
You live in New York and you have cable with Shaw Cable Systems?
yes/no?
Is that right?
I now say that we start from scratch.
Using popular bb's as leaping points for code, then we know what's going on and we know what to change to fix something...
Live in canada and have shaw cable
da_silvy, your link is down. :(
I'm never buying a book again!~ I went to get wrox php book but it was 75 bucks (with out tax) sams was even more and I was to lazy to go to UBC just so I can get a student disscount so I bought the cheapest one they had lol. So with this book I should beable to learn php alot faster cuz I can read it when I'm on the buss to and from college etc...
Once I get more ram (wednesday or thursday) I'll ftp running so ya'll can use my pc as a test server or just find a good host with php and mysql
And since I have a habbit of not turning my pc off when I'm at college or sleeping it should be up most of the time
Okay. I'm not that great at PHP, but I can do the design, HTML work, and graphics.
The server is only up if there is a red tick in my signature...
I still think we should start from scratch
Creating our own forum from scratch would be good and snooping at openbb's code once in a while to get a better idea on how something works would be good I think...
We can use my puter as a test server I'm getting 512mb of ram on wednesday or thursday ( total of 608mb ) so I'm sure that is plenty for the devopment. I also keep my computer running most of the time. It is my alarm clock lol
I can also install a ftp server or use the gay crappy one that comes with iis. That way everyone would be able to upload modified files etc.. I'm on cable so unless my mom/brother/sister and my self are playing games online should be ok transfer speeds
URL to my puter = http://phatbb.cjb.net (goes to a folder on my web page ( http://cfists.clanpages.com ) opens index.asp witch redirects you to my last known ip address)
Your ip is not dynamic so....
You can just post your ip here.
Do you have mySQL?
Yep got mysql. Actualy my ip is dynamic sorta well they claim it is dynamic so when my ip lease runs out (8 days) I "might" be given a new ip. I have had this ip for over a month so I think I'll have it for some time to come :p
-- http://24.77.84.172/ --
or
-- http://phatbb.cjb.net/ --
The network specs for Shaw cable say that network addresses are not portable or dynamic....
Maybe Shaw is static then our cable company use to be Rogers but Shaw and Rogers switched (Shaw wanted Western Canada so they gave all there east up for Rogers west) but I do know about 2-3 months ago my IP was different from what it is now
any one know a good ftp server program (free ware or shareware)
Serv-u is the best and the easier.
da_silvy your IP link do not work.
I installed serv-u
That's probably because my web server is not running.Quote:

If there is a tick in my signature, you can go to that link ;)
i don't mean to be picky, but PhatBB, i mean, come on. could we get another name?
That was the only name suggested lol
if we make it easy to set up we could call it
easy bb
ez bb
easy forum
ez forum
cool bb
php bb
Well....maybe we should put up a poll or something on the main VB page for everyone to vote...
Not a name with easy... :\ try to find a revolutionary name :)
How 'bout BB4u?
"I was thinking more along the lines of...Secure-It! Forums!:D;) ;) (With encrypted passwords/databases!:D)"
Poor Ei, all the world around his name :D
