Re: Table-less layout (11 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
I have an idea for a layout that isn't very table-like. When it's up I'll show you. But I know you are right... as it stands, the way it is currently is semantically correct.

Topic: Need some help if you're so inclined (5 replies, posted in Programming)
I don't know if I should be asking here, but what the heck. I've started a site called Bwongar.com that focuses on development from a conceptual angle. Most other sites (phpBuilder, DevShed) have articles like "How to add a counter on your site" or "How to add a counter on your site"... you get the picture.
My site is geared toward enabling the users learn the correct way to do things without ads or other nefarious interruptions.
Current sections are:
- PHP
- MySQL
- CSS
- Javascript
- Linux
But I'm always on the lookout for more. If you'd like to help, I'd be eternally grateful. I'm just looking for some well written articles. All the site code of Bwongar is 100% home grown (save for PunBB) and will soon be open to the public.
If you have any questions, please email me at admin AT bwongar DOT com or post here. You can see examples of my articles and the site look in my sig.
Thanks!

Re: Archive (33 replies, posted in Feature requests)
Additionally, 3.23+ is deprecated. The only reason it exists on certain distros has to do with licensing issues. As much as I've researched the problem I have concluded their points are moot.

Re: Archive (33 replies, posted in Feature requests)
If your MySQL daemon is crashing you should look for a new host. If you're on a virtual host a dedicated server would work much better for you. Plus if you can attain a server with a 64-bit processor, MySQL will speed up substantially as it uses many 64-bit calculations. When in 32-bit it is forced to use three calculations per 64-bit calculation... Long story.

Re: Microsoft AntiSpyware (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
This whole MS Anti-spyware thing is retarded. If Microsoft had not allowed the holes in their software for so long, PEBCAKs wouldn't have these problems. It's like Chevrolet putting out a new car without wheels because they 'forgot' and then offering the wheels as a 'new service'. The whole idea is stupid and simply unbelievable.
Microsoft is getting away with murder.

Why would they do that? Ease of porting between OSs?

I just received a message from Zend about their new 'Enterprise' software suite. In addition to that, they're opening the floodgates to beta testing Zend Studio 4. Clicky.

Topic: Table-less layout (11 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Is there a plan to later ditch tables and go with CSS layout? It's a good idea and I'm well aware how much of a pain it will be. Just curious.
Thanks!

Re: Site Main Link (10 replies, posted in Feature requests)
On my site, I called it 'Bwongar Main' (bwongar is my site, if you couldn't tell), and then 'Forum Index'.

Topic: Site Main Link (10 replies, posted in Feature requests)
It would be rather simple to integrate a feature where the administrator could setup a link to their site's main page. Not all sites that run Pun use Pun as their main page On mine it was a simple adjustment of the generate_navlinks() function but I wouldn't want to have to do that every time I updgrade.

Topic: I'm disgusted (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
By how fast PunBB is! I had been an advocate of MercuryBoard for a while, but their development team is in serious jeopardy. PunBB has some great features, and best of all, blazing speed.
Thanks Rickard. I'll keep my eyes out for bugs and try to help you squash them!

I wrote an article to help programmers understand MySQL a little better and I'd like some feedback from the kind folk here. It seems that there are some lurking experts and I'd like to hear from them.

This is not a feature I'd like to see in the official PunBB. Why PHP and why not Perl, Ruby, C, ... ?
<code> is enough, use/create a mod if you want more.
PHP offers syntax highlighting by default, so why not leverage it for easy use? It's a simple matter and I will no doubt integrate it into my board. However, other syntax highlighting would require external modus, therefore adding size to PunBB by leaps and bounds. Generic syntax highlighting is possible, albeit useless for my work. It makes sense to me that an application written in a specific language does service to promote usage of that language.
Whatever. I guess it doesn't matter what I think.

Topic: PHP Tag (13 replies, posted in Feature requests)
I'd like to propose integration of a PHP tag. This would allow devs like me to display code in a highlighted and more readable format. For an example of what I mean, visit this page. All the PHP in that article lies between php tags (using a heavily modified parsing engine). As I am not yet familiar with the PunBB engine, I cannot create this functional code right away
Also, for XHTML compliance, the following function can be used on highlight_string() output:
function xhtml_highlight($str) {
$str = highlight_string($str, true);
$str = str_replace(array('<font ', '</font>'), array('<span ', '</span>'), $str);
return preg_replace('#color="(.*?)"#', 'style="color: \\1"', $str);
}
