Same here, most of my edits are because of typo's.

One instance where it is useful to be able to edit even if there have been replies is when you have posted a large chunk of code with a mistake in it. It is easier to change the code and post a short message saying it was changed than post it again.

Yes. All themes will need a base file but it does not have to be that one. If somebody wants to do something more dramatic with styling then they can use their own base file by changing the @import.  I hope that also makes it easier for RTL languages because they could have a special RTL base file. You could also have a mixture of themes, some which used the default base file and some which used their own.

I would have thought if somebody wanted to write a php file to do this it should be possible provided you only want replies to topics (which is what PunBB does). Isn't it just a case of looping through the topics and then nesting a loop through the posts inside it,  skipping the first post in each topic.. I say this with the usual proviso that I have the coding ability of an intellectually challenged Wombat.

BTW: When I saw a site call Fullrangedriver I assumed it was a golfing site.

Shouldn't somebody change the name of this thread to Calendar Mod. The 0.5 version number is making it look unfinished.

Just out of curiousity, is it possible to misconfigure php error handling to make this happen.

Smartys: On second thoughts, if you have some time to spare go ahead and fiddle with it. Think of it as beta testing e.g. is there anything thats hopelessly confusing, is there anything you want to be able to do and can't etc.

Richard: It sounds like the hosting problem from hell. I am curious now to find out exactly what could have happened.

Richard: I can't think what could cause that. It works fine in all my tests. Can you provide a link to the site where you are testing it.

Smartys: You will be wasting your time. The next phase once everything is working is to go back and rationalise things. That may mean changing class names, doubling up on class assignments and removing some classes/id's. I certainly hope to make it easier to edit the stylesheets and to make the stylesheets smaller.

Much better. The differences between the files are obvious at first glance which is exactly what you want. Personally I would make things more obvious by using the background colour to signify new lines as opposed to changed lines.

One picky point, you don't need a seperate table for the header row just use

  <table>
    <thead>
       <tr>
           <th colspan="2"></th>
            <th colspan="2"></th>
      </tr>
     </thead>
     <tbody>

And then style the th {} and/or thead tr {} which means you can also dispose of the header class.

Isn't the real problem with a lot of the systems out there that they have concentrated solely on "bug tracking" and have ignored the "bug reporting" side of things. I don't see why somebody should have to login to a complex script just to report a possible bug. A simple form would be better though it would have to go into a temporary que before it makes it onto the main bug database.

That would depend on how often you use those options. If you hardly ever need to use admin tools then putting them in the main interface just clutters it up. The one option I can see a use for in the user interface would be a "ban user" button so that bans were handled like reports.

That looks better. I can even follow whats going on from the screenshots which is always a good sign.

You would think the members at TFI might have some idea about bugtrackers.

Sounds like a good idea smile

Sounds like an excellent idea. Most of the bug trackers around seem geared towards large projects. I don't even see the need for a bug tracker to handle multiple projects, if its a small enough app just install a fresh copy for each project.

You mean time to write a bug tracker to track the bugs in the script you really want to work on.

How difficult can a simple bug tracker be. A few database fields

- Date of report
- Auto assigned id number
- Text description of bug
- short keyword description of bug
- Name of reporter
- Current status of repair (or not)
- Comments by other contributors
- File that bug affect if known

A table to display the above and a form to add/edit with a search widget of some kind.

As far as I'm concerned it's a damn nuisance, just another browser to complicate designing for cross browser compatability.

So what you are looking for is the functionality of an article/tutorial/story publishing system where the articles/tutorials/stories can be composed and edited by multiple contributors. Is that right?
