Well, you're saying "simply". What would that look like?

well currently there is an option of adding extra links in the admin area, its empty so you have to add links like this with X as the number where the link appear:

X = <a href="URL">LINK</a>

So you could try to have all the links in the box from the begining like this:

1 = <php index link /> lol
2 = <php user list link />
3 = <php rules link />
4 = <php search link />
5 = <php profile link /> Only showed when the user is logged in.
6 = <php admin link /> Only showed to admin / moderators.
7 = <php Login or Logout link /> Shows login to guests and logout to users.

i can just delete the user list link and rules link etc.

or something like that lol.

Well, some of that stuff is really easy to add byyourself, you can add simple bbcodes by just copy/pasting some stuff in the parser, [font color and size are easy, just search for a php bbcode editor on google and you can find tons and just copy and paste them back in the parser and make sure the $text is being converted.  the posted/new/active/unanswered can just be removed if u go edit the function in the menu.  Just disable those, they are only bloated if it's really large forums anyway, they're not that bad.

The rest of the stuff you are talking about, to be honest seems kind of Childish to me.  You can remove the jump to forums feature if you want, just go edit the file and remove it? It's really not that hard man, I think you are just lazy and I think you should learn how all the stuff works, so in the future you can customize it to your liking even better? I didn't mean to come off as rude about you being Childish, I just think some of these ideas are easily edited by just editing a couple lines in a file.  That I believe you were to lazy to do, so you are requesting it done sad

This software gives you the jump start you need to expand your forum and create mods and do whatever, that is why it's GPL and free and lightweight.  It gives u the perfect boost/head start you need to make a epic customizable forum.  I am sure the developers agree.

lol first of all, yes you are right, i am lazy, but these suggestions are far from being "childish" lol, they are about the ability to serve the user and the admin, not everyone has time or skill to get into coding world, i myself used to have punbb 1.2 back in the day, i actually learned alot, but this forums script isnt suppose to be about learning stuff or doing copying, replacing or deleting lines of codes, becoming a developer, its all about the admin and the user, how to make stuff easy for them and make them happy.

Franz wrote:

Of those, only subforums have a chance of making it into core.

I am actually for the subforums, i dont think it will create load or complicate anything. just catagorise/link it.

Franz wrote:

Are you talking about allowing the user to set their own passwort? If so, that is already possible, it's a configuration option.

mmm, i donno, i am talking about the verifiying the user account, usually (back in the day) when you register (with verfiying option), you enter your username and email, then receave the mail and set the password, instead people are more used to entering user, pass, email and receave the conformation link to email. either way i dont find it big problem, just a suggestion.

Franz wrote:

If you have some concrete suggestions for an interface for this, I would be glad to read them (in a separate topic).

i dont quite sure what you mean, i am suggesting the option to simply control (disable/delete) links of the main menu from the admin area. again not a big issue.

Franz wrote:

The links do not generate load - are you talking about the pages they link to?
Well, me moved them there because it was requested by power users of forums much larger than e.g. this one - and that is exactly where these links are so useful, because the forums are so active that it is easy to lose track of which threads you posted in, where interesting to you etc.

ok, but i still dont think many people use it, thus make it extension meterial, but its not a big deal.

Many people are suggesting features like subforums, some stats, wysiwyg stuff and all, all these stuff are probably for extensions, here i will post my thoughts on what need to be added and deleted considering this is still that fast, light user friendly yet extensible bulletin board.

1- Replacing "You are not logged in. Please login or register." with small login boxes, i just dont understand, this forums are about making stuff easier for users, why does he/she have to find the login link and open it then sign in while wasting time and energy, what would a little two boxes would do, i don't think it will slow the main page. All the others forums software has this, why not flux. Just two boxes Username: ||||||| Password: ||||||| Login | Register.

2- Making the registration style like all other boards, first its easier then changing the password and all, second people are already used to that system, the user just had to add the username, password, email an thats it, the conformation mail is sent to the user email (if that option is activated) and he can post as soon as he click on the link.

3- The orignal bbcodes need more bbcodes, i know you guys are gonno say extensions, but most of the forums will need these bbcodes, text size and color should be added to the orignal bbcodes, i also think the option of bbcodes buttons (either images or text buttons) should in orignal flux package with an option to activate or not from admin area.

4- Option in the admin area to control the main flux menu that has index, user list, rule etc, you only has options to add more links in between those, i want the option to control those too, like delete the userlist or rules or search etc, i know you can somehow do these from some code area, but remember the magic word, user/admin friendly.

5- Removing useless (at least for me) links at the top like "Posted | New | Active | Unanswered", they generate load, and i donno about you guys but i rarly click on them. At least make a simple option to show these links or not, usually these stuff are suppose to be for an extension.

6- Also removing this "Jump to forums" thing at the bottom, its extra stuff that are rarley used and needed.

if i remember any other stuff, i will post here latter, so what do you guys think?

yes, that is the reason about mybb, i am talking about punbb (few extensions) and fluxbb.

fluxbb is obviously even more faster and probably more secure then punbb but it still doesnt have the extension system, 2.0 is not even released, and it will take ages for the plugins/extensions i need to be released.

I decided i will be using punbb 1.4 for now, hopefully once flux 2.0 and the necessary extensions are released, i will be able to convert to flux.

Someone please tell me there will be different style of 2.0, something that looks cleaner and like pun1.4.

Hello guys, long time no see, yes, its that annoying brat who doesn't know how to write, well at least i have improved in that department a little. Still a brat though.

Anyway, i am creating a website (forums), wanted to know when should i expect 2.0, i don't have time for the coding (add, replace and delete), i installed the punbb 1.4 for now while my website is in testing.

Any new features other then the good old plugin (extension) system. Btw, absolutely hate the new style.

I am not sure what to use, there is this mybb, quite cool board, surprisingly fast too, and there is this uncompleted punflux. The thing about mybb is that i feel its too much bloated, i mean i like simple stuff with no much fuss, there are like 1000 options to configure in mybb, too many useless features, i also feel its unsecure, i just saw their latest release, it scared me lol, i mean look at this, http://blog.mybb.com/2012/02/10/mybb-1- … y-release/ c'mon, this many security fixes, yea its low risk, but still, with their blotware, there could be many many security flaws.

Punbb is great, it looks great, their new 1.4 theme is incredible and tidy, the settings are easy to manage with extension and all, even though there are some really needed extensions that are not created, extensions that i really really need.

While when i see flux, even though the style is just ugly, its lightning fast, seems way way more faster then punbb, and even feel more secure.

What ever, just say you guys dont have whatever (time, desire whatever) and you cant work on fluxbb anymore if you dont want to. i just addressed my personal ideas which at least some one posting it, brought a little life to the topic, and the rest is up to u guys.

mmm, you guys still trying to answer me instead of answering to the solution.

When did exatly i said screw 1.4.

I gave an example, "people will say who cares when there one few people read the wiki of an almost dead project".

1.3 had potential, 1.4 has no potential, 2.0 will have alooot of potential. people will start comparing it to big fishes once its done.

And i never said leave 1.4 in where it is, i though it was little update but it isnt if u look at how much time did that update take.

How many months u guys are working on 1.4. its still not finished, that confuses me, do you guys have any desire to finish 1.4.

It doesn't stop people from planing for next versions.

Once you guys put a plan for 2.0, people will accelerate on finishing 1.4 to start hunting the big fish.

#11 Re: General discussion » Forking out 1.3 branch? » 2009-12-20 15:16:48

SuperMAG

lol, you are trying to answer my questions instead of looking in the other way.

If someone doesnt write guides for now, its ok, most of the people say, who cares, there are just few people, they will answer them myself in forums instead, they just cant write a whole guide for few people. to me this 1.4 is not getting any popular.

i will say it again, its just a small thing, the code is way more important. people will contribute more in a project they are interested in it. which proves why is only few people intrested in 1.4.

i said about 1.4 is old, because it is. some behind the coding scenes updates doesn't make it more interesting, if the difference is like the extension system, everybody will call that huge thing, and alot of people will rejoin or join the project again.

#12 Re: General discussion » Forking out 1.3 branch? » 2009-12-20 13:33:33

Lol first of all, that was a joke, including that smarty leaving thing lol. i just though cuz few months ago i got bored and stop coming here and stoped clicking on New Posts Link at top, yet he still didnt. That somehow triggered my mind lol.

As i said, i am still not very very good in english, i didnt know other word to describe people like that other then dum.
About that, I think instead of searching in wiki, people usually post a help post in the forums, and lets keep it that way, if people need help,  there is forums for it, unless its a big coding thing, you guys can make few pages for that in about two hrs. but write tutorial on how to move a post or delete a post is just (to most peope) waste of time.

when u install a software, you explore everything in it first. and when you need a thing, you search more. i am not sure someone will be searching in a wiki instead of his forums.

but as i said its not a big issue, we can deal with that when there is a code of 2.0. Like most people around here, i am not intrested in all old forums scripts like 1.2/1.4 or 1.3. i am only intrested in 2.0.

On the other thing, thats why i mentioned OR word between the first and second paragraph.

Make a topic right in this forums, discussing opening steps for 2.0 version. What didnt worked in 1.3 and what needs to be completely rewriten. as i remember, it was extension system, and seperate template system. dont remember other stuff. (With all Developers).

#13 Re: General discussion » Forking out 1.3 branch? » 2009-12-20 12:52:16

SuperMAG

well i am still not master of english, so i didnt know what word to use.

but any one who want to have developer name beside his username SHOULD have desire to contribute in this project.

Means if he does do work this week, he should do in other unless he has serious problems. or very very busy.

its not like forcing people to work in it, its more like contributing.

and how much developers are here anyway, 5-10, those are more then enough if each of them write 10 lines of codes in a day.

---------------

EDIT: ops lol, i didnt readed ur post carefully. anyway, i am not a coder, but i can help to make this project going, or give ideas on what ever i know.

#14 Re: General discussion » Forking out 1.3 branch? » 2009-12-20 12:47:30

SuperMAG

Do you really think so? More than a month ago, I asked for help with creating the new user guide. Since then, not a single thing has been done there, which led us to start doing this ourselves on the new server.

Lol, there are many reasons it not one contributed, like some of them don't know how to use wiki, some of them dont know how to explain in tutorials and some of them will think its just waste of time. There is just lack of desire on doing very rarely useful thing.

I am sure people will contribute more in a big project instead of writing guides for few dum people lol. and besides these things are done after the code is fully written. and the community is settled. you guys should do step at a time.

-----------

For Example First move. Lets gather all the developers in a next weekend, or when every one is free. Send emails, sms or what ever to make them to come to that meeting.

OR

Make a topic right in this forums, discussing opening steps for 2.0 version. What didnt worked in 1.3 and what needs to be completely rewriten. as i remember, it was extension system, and seperate template system. dont remember other stuff. (With all Developers).

You guys will also get help from other users who still are obsessed with flux,pun lol, like that smartass and mfffffff or matttfff, ops sorry, i mean smarty lol. i am sure he is still following every topic cuz, the only reason to me he retired from this project was to not write codes.

btw, how about plugin system like wordpress, instead of xml, u guys use php. i am not much of a coder, but alot of people perfer that.

Well i dont know what happened behind the scenes, but i am sure u can convince someone by showing him facts on what is a better system. it all needed a little showing of skills etc for them to agree with what u guys want.

well nothing can be done now, since all stuff already happened, its my foult i brought old thing.

---------

FSX, i though that flux 1.4 was just a small updates. i never though u guys would make all these stuff for it. there is still punres.org . It would take alot of time to dublicate old mods or create new one. let alone styles. and besides there are alot of people using 1.3 instead of 1.4 for that modding reason.

Why not just began with 2.0 already. You guys can do the planning and thinking thing, which will put a plan.
and then any one who has time, can contribute with that plan as much as he can.
Or it will never happen.

#16 Re: General discussion » Forking out 1.3 branch? » 2009-12-19 20:09:48

SuperMAG

why, i mean if u guys just discussed this with them in long discussion, i am sure they would have agreed with what u guys wanted.

There are only few people there who write extensions or develop core. its the same here. the more people involved in a project, the more sucsessful it is. look at wordpress.

if some of them are making mistakes in coding etc, you guys can just guide them in the right way. no one make mistakes for fun.

btw, did u guys even started on 2.0.

ok, i can say now, that forking the pun to flux only destroyed both projects. nothing else.

it has been almost a year or more (not remember), and i visit both sites in around 3-4 months, and only see that nothing happened.

all informer did was change the domain, and nothing else. if you both groups were still there working together, there would already be 2.0 with bunch of plugins and styles with support.
