Hacker Dan wrote:
LETS GET THINGS GOING!

If any one knows ruby and has some knowledge of how phpbb works I could use some help with the development. Some of the functions it would be nice if other people could wire while I am working on the core of it would be:

  • A function to take the post text and change the BBCode to html so it can be outputted.
  • A function to take the post text and take out any html tags that are not in our list of pre-approved tags.
  • A search function to search throw the post db and return the best matches.
  • More to come......


If any one is good in graphics we will need all kinds of things such as:

  • Buttons
  • Logos
  • Images for templates
  • Section title images
  • Ect


If any one is good with web page development (html, java, style sheets), we need some one to work on making templates (views) for the site. Some temples would be:
  • Basically our own version of every phpbb one
  • A new cover page (title page/intro)
  • Templates for the mx system replacement
  • Templates for some of extras (quiz, mailer, ect)
  • More to come.....


If you are interested in helping with any of these pleas let me know and I will give you more info and you can start work with me on v3 ASAP. Also if I do not get much help from the staff I will move or make a topic like this in GD or news and start recruiting willing users. Hopefully we will get this thing done b4 next school year.

I will also post updates of the progress of the development in another topic in this forum.



Alright, so lets see how this should go...
ONLY if you are willing to help and actually help, not just say your going to and never do anything... post over here what you would like to help in and then maybe dan will reply and etc... (And lets try and keep this topic on topic shall we? lets not make it into another Aoi v3 suggestions topic Rolling Eyes )

I will be posting a "REAL" V3 Suggestion topic in the GD forum this way no one can go off topic -.-

I'm game. Sadly I can't help out with the whole Ruby thing. And my knowledge of HTML / CSS is pretty basic right now. But I can make any graphics you want me to; so sign me up for that. Just tell me what to do. 8)

I can help out Notoroge if I'm good enough to compare. I am average at graphics, pretty good at doing graphical text and stuff like that. My knowledges of html are pretty basic too, so I don't really think I can help out with that. The most I would be able to do is change [b] to and stuff like that Wink.

but i'm getting off topic, its just a pet peeve of mine

i would help, but i'm leaving to go on course in 2 weeks, i get done around the 28th of august so if there's any help you need in the html/css etc by that time i can help out.

What the..? Did one of you mods delete two posts and revert mine to what it was before?

Damn, I think we just had another server crash and mini-rollback.

*EDIT in response to below post*
yes, true. But I assumed the worst since my edit was reverted Confused.

No, I just think a mod purged them becaues they forsaw that they would end-up throwing this thread offtopic and/or really weren't necessary. Wink

Well since it's our software why do we have to use BBCode? Go with textile, the library is already written

I'm sure we could do without BBCode, but almost everyone is already familiar with it. Though I din't see anything to suggest we can't do both.

i have been thinking about it and i may just replace bbcode wiht noraml html since it dose the same in the end. Tho another thing we have to consider is old posts using bbcode, they whould need to be converted. If the library is all ready writien for it it maybe a realy good idea. alot to think about, any ideas on how to slove the problem of old posts whould be nice.

I'm currently fighting for a moderately large site to abandon a system which allows user to directly inject HTML into submissions. It's pure madness to go down that path.

But what about Compsci Pheonix? We could just keep the old stuff in a seperate but easily accessible archive.

hummm, i had not considered this. it could be a good idea, tho i whould like to save the tutorals and if we do that we whould still need to convert the bbcode.

wtd: when i was thinking about html as a sytem, it whould be slected html tags only.

To what extent will v3 be? Will users be kept? I would very much like posts to be archived, if not kept as they are.

Also, what's this?
