Hi there, I was wondering how is the spam prevention with this forum? I’ve had a lot of bad luck with other forum systems and spam.

I was also wondering if this forum script supports friendly urls / mod_rewrite urls?

Thanks in advance!

hi thesilkywitch,

thx for your interest

These are some of the features:

  • enable captcha on registration
  • disable registering (no users, no spam :) )
  • enable activation of new users only by board administratiors
  • watch all forums as administrator
  • Activate SEO links in the board administration to get friendly URLs

I hope I could help

Thanks for the quick reply.

Are there any updates coming soon? It says you last updated the script in March of last year.

Hey Mac,

How would I go about dynamically changing the meta description for each topic? All of the pages on the forum have the same description for pages that are index in Google.

Thanks, Chris

hi chris,

you could use something like

he(substr(strip_tags(strip_bbcodes($SBBTopics->posts["main"]->detail)),0,155)) . "..."

Thanks Mac. I was able to use this code and incorporate it into my site the way I wanted.

One more thing and I’ll stop bothering you. How can I remove line breaks from the output? If someone puts a few characters of text in a post then went to a new line and posted a few more than on to a new line… etc. How can I remove those blank spaces when outputting the data from the sql database? I have attempted using replace, str_replace CHR10 , CHR13 and everything else I can find, but nothing seems to remove the big gaps from the text output.

I hope you understand what I’m asking. I appreciate your support. It means a lot to me. Thanks again.

Hi Mac,

How to use this Board without a Website? I want only create a simple forum. Just in standalone.

In full page. I have a hosting and a domain name. And where is the file: plain.php?

In short on this point I’m in jam.

Thanks for your answer.

Best Regards, Dafcans

My client asked me to update his forum from 2.01. I remember since back then you had made the CSS inline etc I had to rewrite the css and html. It took like a whole day or more to clean it up and style it. Now my worry is I have to do all this again or did you this time make a separate CSS for all styles? I also remember editing the graphics because they did not have transparent backgrounds, I think we talked about that.

Hi,

I remember you :)

the XHTML -templates has no inline style definitions (two, one senseless float: right and one width for the dynamic voting bar)

the graphics of the XHTML -Templates are alpha transparent

the HTML4 -template is still the same, ‘cause I didn’t want to make it difficult for older users to update this template

just download the new version and check out the template folders or take a look at the demo sourcecode

to check out just the differences (of the template files) I suggest to use a tool like WinMerge

Hello may I ask you, is there any way how to implement a diacritic? Esp. Czech & Slovak (like š, ?, ?, ?, etc.). It is good when the topic is added. But when its been edited it starts to mess around. I tried to add <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8”> to the head of the page, but doesnt help. Thank you in response.

themac themac replied

could you create such an article in the demo, I’ve created one with the letters you’re talked about

Slovak (like š, ?, ?, ?, etc.)

and it works in the demo – but it could be that you didn’t post the question marks, right?

hi,

thx for purchasing SBB B )

The only way to get error message is if you’re try to use one of the usernames of the Reserved usernames, not able to register (board administration)

The full error message (english) : The chosen nickname is reserved.

Could you send me the link to your installation?

Hi there, would it be possible to bypass the authentication completely?

This lovely script would sit behind my site which already has authentication, the users id is stored in a session $_SESSION[‘Security_ContactName’] so I hope to be able to have that automatically complete the users name when posting or replying?

Thanks

Hi Miam,

there would be a solution [untested]:

  • enable guests to view/create messages in the board administration
  • open the templatefile add_topic.html (.php) and remove or edit the nickname line
  • edit actions.php and replace
    $guest_name = preg_replace('([^a-zA-Z0-9\.\-_ ])', '', $guest_name);
    with
    $guest_name = $_SESSION[‘Security_ContactName’]

I think this would do the job

Hi Mac. Can you please give me a hand? I don’t know why the “Maximum image width within posts” setting which I have set it at “600”, suddenly stooped working. For example check this post: http://goo.gl/3dEr4

I haven’t change any setting since I installed the forum, I don’t understand why isn’t working, It was working fine ”/ I appreciate any help.

You are right! I had moved the <?php echo $sbb_add2head; ?> to the top of HEAD tags, because I did I little modification to show the ‘HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found’ header for non-exist forums, but I know realized it doesn’t matter the position while it is into the HEAD tags. Thanks Master for your help! Appreciate it :)
