[ABD] phpBB Host

[tkuchel]

those are some great ideas now i'm really eager to get this one. hehe

[DKing]

I might be able to add the thing about the packages and such, but not until later versions...

[DKing]

I have made a little bit of progress... I still need to figure out how to make folders and ftp a bunch of files via FTP (maybe found on google...), and a bunch of other stuff. So far, I only have the template and it inserts the name of the forum into the database. *sigh* This is going to be harder than I thought....

*goes back to work*

Request. Stats. So you can see how much bandwidth, space ect forums are using. Kind of like CPanel. Speaking of CPanel. Cusom admin page that the user sees, that the admin defines.


Like:

Thank you for using Xname
You have X Members
X posts have been ,ade within X topics

Your package is X
You can have X more users
You can have X more posts

etc.

If ya need some help, I can help you out. Mostly template wise.

[DKing]

I already got the template finished, but thanks.

Here's an update:
I have the full template finished (as far as I know...). It inserts the main data into your sql database, and creates a folder in a users/ directory that you upload during install. This may be changed; I will include some notes on that in the install file. I am still working finding code to make it copy the language, templates, images, etc. directories to each new forum folder. I have made a separate functions_host.php for all of the new functions, and I have edited lang_main.php for the language variables. I relize that this will take a LOT longer than I thought, but I will work on it as much as I can, so that I can get it to you as fast as I can. But, just like for phpBB, I am not issuing a release date, because I dont want to have to set it back.

Right now, I just need help with the PHP parts, so if you want to help, please PM me or post here!

Good mod.

[DKing]

Good mod.

Thanks! I am working really hard on it!
--ALSO--
I have special news! ALPHA is almost here!

Please take note that I do not give support during ALPHA stages of my MODs. They should not, i repeat, NOT be used in a live environment. It may be used on a test board to see how it works and that it works. Do not post any errors... just try it out and see how it operates!

I will post again once it is ready for ALPHA testing!

I can offer help if you need it. You are asking in main post...

[DKing]

If you want to help, you may! It would be easiest if you could sign up on my forums (phpbb-mods.s1e.info), but you don't have to. If you do, you'll get the rank of "Developer". It's basically only for permission purposes, as it doesn't show up in the profile, but it gives you a different color on the Who's Online list...

If you don't want to join my forums, we can talk via PM, or something.

Why use FTP for the files? I don't get you. Just use one phpBB installation and then add an extra variable to it.

The system I have seen just edits a few files and you have mfroum=user, this would be helpfull to iliminate security issues.

Like not everyone on a host with houndreds of users will update, and what happens if something like the howdark.com exploit happens again?
