BBCode and banner

Posted May 7, 2008 at 11:13pm by Hesei

Well, I've got a few little details for y'all. I scrapped the phpBB BBCode interface and am building my own from scratch. Needless to say, it's a difficult process, and it will take me some time to perfect it. However, I have gotten it to the point where I'm comfortable with its basic functionality.

I'll update the script periodically to allow new functions, but I think it's good enough for our purposes.
So let's give it a try, shall we?

Here is some green text,
some red,
some yellow,
and some light blue.

Here is a link to the forum containing a bug that appears only on the site... working on it.

And the new banner GForever made!

And just for the heck of it, here's a quote!
Unfortunately, some problems in my script leave me only able to post one of these per entry. Just something else to fix in the future.


Of course, we also have a wonderful new set of images to compliment the new banner. GForever really did a great job with the slides. So anyway, I'm gonna try to keep with the updates over the next couple of days before heading home for Mother's Day. I'll keep you up to date on all the new additions.
And no, this text shouldn't be this color... crap.


Up and Running... maybe just mall-walking

Sorry to delete the last two postings (along with yours, GForever). I'm just running some tests to keep us bug free.

We now have a lovely little login/logout system that inproves upon the phpBB method a tad. Essentially, logging in will work just as it did back in the old days, and logging out will be slightly better, keeping you on the page you logged out from just as you would when logging in.

You will also notice that I finally adjusted the posting times on the front page. Sorry for the delat, but I wanted to set it up with the user settings. So now if you happen to live in GMT -7, you can see the times adjusted on the site just as you would in the forums. Same goes for Daylight Savings Time, too. By default, all times are displayed in Eastern (GMT -5) time. It's not really a big deal, but it was a fun little system to code :D

And that brings me to my next point. I'll try and get the news running with BBCode soon. The ultimate goal is to have just about any entry on the site capable of utilizing BBCode. Sounds fairly simple, but that's gonna take a lot of work to understand the BBCode permissions of phpBB. It'll be an experience...

More updates as they come.
