Implementing BBCode

Likestodraw — Sun, 06 Jan 2013 16:59:47 -0500

I am currently writing a forum script and was wondering if anyone here could help me with implementing BBCode, considering the fact that that's what FlatPress uses in its posts.
If it helps, all the code can be downloaded at http://mahtava.allalla.com/nexus/downloads.php. It uses MySql to store data.

I Wonder What This Reminds Me Of...

User avatars in Vanilla

Stanley — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 05:29:22 -0400

New users (and old) don't seem to have the option to choose/change their avatar anymore. I think this has been the case since the upgrade to Vanilla 2.

Anything can be done to get those back to add a bit of colour to the forum?

Spam on wiki

A big amount of spam has flooded Flatpress Wiki. I have removed a lot of it. Spammers should be banned, I suppose.

flatpress-1.0-solenne Italiano (da revisionare)

Il pacchetto in lingua italiana, senz'altro da revisionare:

I rewrote some Smarty filters

LAttilaD — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 13:27:08 -0500

I know this isn’t a Smarty forum but Smarty is an essential part of Flatpress. I was thinking about how to display the size of documents in the Static Page List and discovered variable modifiers in Smarty. So I added a bit to admin\panels\static\admin.static.list.tpl:

{$content|count_words}
{$content|count_characters}

with a happy smile. It didn’t work. Neither count_words nor count_characters work with long files, and having a two megabytes static page results in an allocation error in either modifier. So I rewrote both. (Top remarks omitted here, I didn’t change them.)

fp-includes\smarty\plugins\modifier.count_words.php:

function smarty_modifier_count_words($string)

{

// split text by ' ',\r,\n,\f,\t

$split_array = preg_split('/\s+/',$string);

// count matches that contain alphanumerics

$word_count = preg_grep('/[a-zA-Z0-9\\x80-\\xff]/', $split_array);

return count($word_count);

// Long file aware version by LAttilaD

$string=str_replace(' ', ' ', $string, $spaces);

$string=str_replace("\n", "\n", $string, $enters);

return $spaces+$enters;

}

I know this version isn’t as accurate as the old one, but it won’t stop at a longer file.

fp-includes\smarty\plugins\modifier.count_characters.php:

function smarty_modifier_count_characters($string, $include_spaces = false)

{

if ($include_spaces)

return(strlen($string));

// return preg_match_all("/[^\s]/",$string, $match);

// Long file aware version by LAttilaD

$string=str_replace(' ', ' ', $string, $spaces);

return strlen($string)-$spaces;

}

What's you dream FlatPress Forum like?

Marc — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:08:53 -0400

I'm starting this thread in an attempt to get an idea on how you guys feel about the FlatPress Forum.

What do you like and dislike right now?

Do you think it would be possible to improve the forum in some way or another? What kind of new features would you enjoy to use on here? Do you think the forum is currently lacking some functionality, features? For example, would you like to be able to share threads on Facebook/Twitter in one click, see who's online, post a poll, update your personal status, use smilies, etc..?

Post your suggestions and feedback here. What do you think would move this community a step further? :)

Marc. :)

And that's why I had chosen MooTools in the first place

Spam on the forum

pierovdfn — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:35:29 -0400

There is more and more spam on this forum...
I've found an anti spam plugin for Vanilla that uses Akismet and StopForumSpam; @NoWhereMan: why don't you active it?

However it's very unhappy seeing spammers that uses the forum just for they links....

Please help.

IIS and Flatpress 0.1010 Sotto Voce

laborix — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 15:34:00 -0500

Here some results from a quick test.

Test area 1: Windows Server 2003 (32bit), IIS 6.0, PHP 5.3.3 and MS Fastcgi 1.5
Test area 2: Windows Server 2008 (32bit), IIS 7.0, PHP 5.3.3 and Windows Server 2008 build in Fastcgi

Quick test with:
Setup, create category and entries, using PrettyUrls, search, Admin panel configuration, sorting widgets and few other things.

On both servers, Flatpress 0.1010 Sotto Voce work fine. No errors or notices will came up. I will do more tests on this servers, if I have time for that.

Spammers posting on this forum

Stanley — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:27:47 -0400

I've seen a couple of spammers recently - this is the latest one...

... and here's an earlier one

Is there any way to tighten up on how people sign up? From memory I don't think there was any need to click a link in a confirmation email, I just filled in the form and could start posting.

It might be good idea to have a "Report Spam" link on each post, but I don't know if Vanilla lets you do that?

Issue Categories and edit post

fastidioso — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 17:13:43 -0400

Hi,
I upgraded to new version FlatPress 0.1010 RC and:

If I edit the post, the check box of categories is not signed.
If I see the post after edit, the categories are shown correctly.

Mark all as read

Mischa — Sat, 15 May 2010 23:28:51 -0400

Would it be possible to install the "Mark As Read" plugin to Vanilla. It's a little tricky now to read through the postings.

bad redirect in sf.net page

viktor — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 03:49:33 -0500

just go to flatpress.sf.net, and it will try to redirect you to the old address, flatpress.nowhereland.it. i guess it needs an update.

Why do you use Vanilla?

Centaur — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:03:02 -0500

I was just wondering why you prefer Vanilla forum. I have been using these forums here on FP for a few days now, but it just feels so much different from the usual forums on other sites.

Can you please tell me what makes Vanilla so good. I like MyBB as it is more traditional to other forums yet better (just my opinion).

Thanks.

Firefox Help

Finlay — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:20:56 -0400

Hallo,
I often use Firefox, a great browser, and sometimes go to Tools - Options - Security - saved password to read and erase the passwords for the sites that I visit.
Do you know if there is a way to shorten this path, maybe insert something in the toolbar to speed up this task?
Thank you

flatpress.nowhereland.it

DotMG — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:16:05 -0400

Search engines lead to the old site flatpress.nowhereland.it/flatpress which issues an error.
That could be a good idea to redirect this old site to flatpress.org

Nice gag in Flatpress

laborix — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:31:15 -0400

I found a nice gag in Flatpress after adding in SVN 180 the "List Postings in categories". It is not a failure, it is not a bug, it is a gag:

If you add all Postings listed in categories [SVN] and then you use the hidden feature "stats", so you get a different number of postings. I'm thinking "Is there something wrong?". No.

After counting all my posting I get the number listed by the "stats" feature. Now I compare it against the postings listed in categories. Yeah, I have some posting in two or more categories, hehe...

So all is ok, but in the first minute, I think I should go to bed...
