Obviously I can't do math... how does one get 50% from 13 big_smile

Yeah, or maybe just beside it e.g (Rating 50%, 13 votes)

Though not too many features to become bloated like phpbb...

I like their doco - they've fully explained the db table structures, etc.

Anyone seen this one yet?  I stumbled across it today...
http://blackboard.unclassified.de/

Appears to be very new...

Main feature is that it's designed from ground up to have native Jabber IM notification for replies and new topics.  The interface looks very pleasing, and supposedly has full XHTML and CSS compliance.  A lot of features out of the box too - access rights, polls, attachments, bbcode buttons, and the download is only approx 550KB.

Feature list (taken from their main page):
    *  Native Jabber IM notification
    * Very powerful access rights management
    * Robust BB code parser with syntax checking and complete nesting tags support
    * Transparent and foreseeable read status of threads
    * Scalable solution ? database server and web servers can reside on separate   
    * Compatible with any operating system that supports PHP and MySQL
    * Almost completely automated installation, configuration in the integrated web-interface
    * In-place forums configuration, no special Admin CP needed for this
    * Intuitive usage: commands are where you expect them to be
    * Arbitrary nesting of forums or categories
    * Easy integration into present websites or a small layout
    * Full Unicode support, also in e-mails and notifications
    * E-Mail and Jabber notification on replies or new topics
    * Full ACL support on group/user and forum/thread level, users can be members of many groups
    * Multiple designs and languages
    * Cookie and URL-based sessions supported (works without cookies)
    * Freely customizable BBCode tags and user profile fields
    * Automatic GZip output compression
    * Post attachments, polls, bookmarks, statistics, ?pin?/move/split topics, user avatars and photos.....

Hey awesome stuff, conorhd!  It looks great!

Perhaps put the percentage score within the bar itself (is that possible) -- the number of votes might be misleading, as people could mistake that for the score...

Ok... here it is... don't scream! big_smile

http://www.shuttertalk.com/upload.zip

I basically made chmodded one directory to 777 and dropped this script in it.  The script uploads to that directory. 

There's a bit of javascript at the end which pastes the code back into the message box via the window's opener, which assumes that the upload script was opened as a popup from the message box window.

There's lots of stuff hardcoded everywhere, so test it out before releasing it to your public!

I wrote it... although I'm not keen to release it coz it's very ugly!! sad

Good idea... perhaps at the bottom of each post, in the middle
e.g Email | Website ......... [-] ===== [+] ......... Report | Delete | Edit | Quote)

Punbb integration was just released as part of standard package of Coppermine 1.3.2.  I'm running it on my site although not many have been using it because of my image upload mod! big_smile

i think the whole point of this is just to rate posts by users (sorta like a poll on each post) not to rank users etc and not really for admins/moderators but for users to show their views to each other easily

Exactly right, Connorhd...  I'm with you on this one.


zaher, ameenullah, I'm not sure if I like the 1 correct answer model... I mean the purpose of discussion forums is for people to discuss their points of view - more than one answer can be correct and people may answer provide more info/give tips, while not being the "exact answer".

The way I see it working, you would only get points if people voted for your post... so you would have to post something intelligible/funny/good to get a high score... sortal like how plastic or slashdot works.  Spamming the board with posts/answers won't get you anywhere (well it might get you banned i guess wink).  Over a long period of time, you can see which members do really post quality stuff vs those who just spam the boards to get a high post count.

The only way people might abuse the system is that if a few people colluded and started giving 10s to each other.

My main interest for this mod would be for my digital photograpy forums, where people can post photos... other people can rate the photos to show how much they appreciate the photo.  Sure, they can post replies and comments etc, but sometimes it doesn't quite convey the impact...

Just my 2c big_smile

You can always use divs... whatever takes your fancy I guess big_smile

You can get most recent topics - see extern.php

How were you thinking of doing it?  Storing it as a separate column on the posts table or in a complete new table?

Thanks smile

Yes, obviously.

I was wondering how hard it would be to code, or any suggestions on how to implement? big_smile

Hi all,

Just thought I'd contribute a little mod which takes like 5 seconds to do, but is pretty useful.

To add a quick search to your forum header, modify your main.tpl file under include/template/
(see it in action here)

Change:

        <td class="puncon1">
            <pun_navlinks><br><br>
            <pun_status>
        </td>

To:

        <td class="puncon1">
            <pun_navlinks><br><br>
            <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr><td width="50%" valign="bottom">
            <pun_status>
            </td><td width="50%" align="right" valign="bottom">
            <form method="get" action="search.php" id="search">Search forums:
            <input type="hidden" name="action" value="search">
            <input type="text" name="keywords" size="30" maxlength="100"><input type="submit" name="search" value="Go" accesskey="s">    
            </form>    
            </td></tr></table>
        </td>

You can also add <input type="hidden" name="show_as" value="topics"> if you want to display the results as topics instead of posts.

Enjoy! big_smile

Just doing a bit of thinking - how hard would it be to do the following:

Scoring/rating - where people could give each post / topic (post would be better) a score, and the count/avg would be displayed.

I think this would be very useful for question / answer forums where people can rate the quality of responses.  Another use would be for photo forums where people would post a photo up, and users could rate them.

Overall, you could keep track of rating/scores on user level - so you can tell who your star members are, etc., and you could link rewards, extra privileges to higher ratinngs/scores.



Thanks!

Hi Chacmool... been using your mod for a while now, and it's great, thanks!  Just thinking... perhaps it would be good if we had a email notification feature informing users of new PMs?
