FORUMS for simple squad site.

hey Panther I downloaded the simplesquad site v1.2 from dfhq.
I really like how easy you made it.
if you like I will put all the install files for an invision board 1.3 in w/ the simple squad and change the links and add simple directions to set up.

The only problem is invision/phpbb won't like that if they find it

i know there is the free 1.2 version that they gave out there self ( IPB ). And i do have a copy laying around here. Dont know if its allowed then?

I will see if I can get permission to bundle v1.3.
may be hard now since they don't give out 1.3 free anymore unless you already had it. but worth a shot.

that or you can just code your own forum.

coding your own forum...hmmm that'd be fun and hard if it was to be good like this...even for masters!

[katana*GFR*]

Well if that even goes on im willing to reserve some test space for ya guys. If its needed.

I got tons of space, but I only have 5 MySql DB's left.

does any1 know about "postgreSQL"
it came w/ my host package and I have 10 DB's I guess I will just try 1 see if it works the same as MySql. I read the FAQ's that my host provides and it was filled w/ error questions so I kinda assume it sucks.

they replied we will NEVER allow ipb to be bundled w/ any package EVER.


assholes.

so scot that means you have to code your own forum. good luck w/ that!

awww, come on, cant be that hard! im thinking of engraving my own forums into feraira.com basic rules same as a shoutbox! it cant be that hard, jst the membership ****?

LMFAO lets see it then genuis! its so easy you should have it done next weekend right?

what about if a ipb mod were submitted to invisionize or something, as long as it isnt packaged wouldnt it be fine?

we can tell them how to make the mods. but we cant mod the files and then release it.

You know what . Building a forum is harder than it sounds. Those proffesionall forums have easy to make theme stuff, smileies in, hard tags to define. it's not easy, although i might be on the virge of making the [img] tag work, which is hard for me, and what not. So i'll try and make a basic one, after it works i'll try to devolop it more and more till it reaches the phpbb level.

Hey PHP-Largo, try searching google.com for regular expressions and bb code. It will help you on your quest for the [img] tag and lots of other neat stuff.

i thought about doing this:

PHP Code:

<?
DEFINE("[img]", '<img border=\"0\" src=\"'); 
DEFINE("[/img]", '\">') ;
?>

But i forgot how to do defines, wanna fresh me up lmao?

[Scott]

You have the syntax right.. but define (it's define("action","converted"); btw) is not the answer. The only real correct way to do it is with a regular expresson.

if you try and make a forum I have been working on a editor for sometime now it is pretty simple but it can open and close tags, has clickable smiles, ect.. it was made in php with a javascript engine. formus sounds like a good project would help in any way I can but I'm new to php. Phphq.net should start an open source project like that and then bundle it with the phportal...

why not bundle it with smf, it's open source i believe.

i coded my own forums. They are not that hard at all. It just takes time..
