Topic: custom bbcode & smile set & search title only

Hello,

I just installed Fluxbb 1.4 beta 1 on my NAS. Well, it's not on public, but I am quite impressed with Fluxbb.

I also installed phpBB3 the latest version, and make a little comparison.

Is it possible to have custom bbcode & smile set for site admin to add? This would make forum more flexable and more interesting.

Such as the following the animated gif smiles

For the search option, it would be nice to add just search Topic Subject. Because I think many registered user may want to use this.

FluxBB explicitly aims not to compete with phpBB. phpBB is very good at packing lots of features into its software. That's not the goal of FluxBB.

You can add your own smilies.

open up include/parser.php and just append to the list of smilies...  Be sure to add the image to ../www.yourforum.etc/img/ also.

bbcode is something that I think could be improved upon.  I'd like to add something similar to PunToolBar.

the goal of flux is to be lightweight, simple, and elegant.

Not my choice either, but the beauty of fluxbb over other software is that the user can mod the bits they want to whilst still keeping the software functional.  Rather than having a system with bells & whistles that eats up server bandwidth with functions that are not used.

Re: custom bbcode & smile set & search title only

Another way of handling smilies for future versions is to treat them as part of individual styles. The style simply comes with a php file like 1.3 which includes a smilies array. The parser then just uses the array rather than the default smilies. That approach doesn't involve adding a feature as such, in fact it removes the need to hardwire the smilies into the parser.

The only thing worse than finding a bug is knowing I created it in the first place.
